FOOL PROOF FOR CAMPERS

If the attractions Maine affords
could be made fool proof for the at
tracted, there would be fewer forest
fires. fewer complaints from land
owners of trespass, fewer instances
of indecent treatment Of advantages
enjoyed.
The efforts of the Maine Forest
Service to provide suitable camp sites
throughout the forestry district
should be helpful. Providing rock
fireplace for the building of fires and
cleaning away the rubbish so that
the fire may not spread leaves no
possible excuse for the campers set
ing fires.
Yet there are some, who were water
provided with which to douse the en-
| bers, would neglect to do SO. There
! are always some not only Indifferent,
| needless and absorbed in selfishness,
but who also find malicious delight in
| doing that which they ought not.
Happily for humanity their number
we believe is small. They are enc
mics to those who do respect persons
and places and the latter should treat
them as such and cooperate in every
way with those who recognize the
needs of the public and generously
and wisely help to satisfy them.

Coolidge Approves
Of Move to Keep Out
Political AppOintees

Swampscott, Mass July 24-(AP)
President Coolidge is determined to
give Assistant Secretary Andrews OF
the treasury a free hand in his eff
forts to enforce prohibition.
Indications were given today at the
summer white house here that Sec
rotary Andrews would be given wide
latitude in the selection of regional
enforcement officers, the president
believing that politics had been prac-
tically eliminated from the prohibl-
ton service and properly should cut
no figure.
Before leaving Washington it was
disclosed the president assured Mr..
Andrews that he would have a free
hcnd in making appointments and
carrying on his warfare against boot
leegers and rum runners and that he
could count at all times on whole
hearted support from the executive.
Not only is the president satisfied
with the efforts made by Mr. Andrews
to keep politics in the background
but he believes prohibition Commits
sioner Haynes has succeeded in
keeping his bureau practically free of
political influence. In his efforts TO
bring about enforcement Of the Vol
stead law, Commissioner Haynes, ac-
cording to Mr.. Coolidge's belief has
been prompted only by desire to
have an efficient force of agents re-

mentioned in the last story.

wide that he could have swallowed

little bird.

thick clump of weeds.

"The very thing" cried Jimmie

Didn't Waste the Rind

chestnut name, the covered bridge OF

Be that as 1t may with respect to
the covered bridge-and the time Is
probably coming soon when the aver
age person will not know what is
meant by the expression "as dry as
a covered bridge"-we believe the
Herald is wrong in intimating that
strips of salt pork were ever used in
New England as cure for sore
throat. 1t was the rind of the salt
pork, not the pork itself, that was
thus used. To the economical house
wife, the use of strips OF salt pork
would have seemed like wicked waste
when the rind would bring about just
as certain curative results.

By.Produets of the Scopes Trial

Boston Transcript
It takes a long time to persuade the
world that the letter killeth. 1t has
never been done completely, but the
new APE case" that has just been
commenced in Washington, D. c.,
may go a measurable way towards
that end, If the great issues involved
are treated as they ought to be.
This will happen. whatever the
courts may decide, because the pub
lie will set itself to asking, What Is
disrespect for the Bible? Is 1t the
Bible Of the Protestant? Is it that OF
the Roman Catholic? Is it that OF
the Jew? They are not the same. The
public will go step further IN the
inquiry forced upon it and will pom
der what may be "disrespect" for the
Bible and then it will reach the mar
row of the whole thing and ask, VINO
and what may be that man or men
who shall have power to define such
"disrespect." It is likely that such a
question, already being asked, Will
give rise to a good deal of pondering
and most of it political. 1t was
bound to come and we welcome 1t as
the greatest aid to establishing but
once again the sanctity of those scrip :
lures called the Bible. The idea OF
regulating, hedging and combining the
thinking of others Is grateful to a
great many men and women who are
satisfied of their own good intentions,
but very much in doubt as to those
of others. They overlook one thing,
however; that is a game that more
than one can play at. When they
do it to others, 1t is defending the
faith; when others do it to them,
that is persecution, but this, indeed,
all prosecutors have the grace to dis
own and drape in their particular
euphemismS.

WHY NOT A SPELLING BEE7

It isn't quite clear to some Of US
Just what advantage there may be to
International peace to hold a prize
contest among the children to ascer-
tain who. in their opinion, are twelve
Of the worlds heroes. The results Of
any such contest would seem to
amount to the selection of twelve,
to them. interesting public charac-
ters.
"A man cannot become a world
hero or great without vast
amount Of publicity" remarks Robert
Choate. That sounds sensible. Pos.
sibly those who instituted this con-
test may have entertained the fancy
that the publicity resulting to them
would place them in the hero class.
We do not think 1t would be diff
cult to prove that there are in the
world real hundred per cent heroes
about whom our children, nor their
parents or advisers ever heard. and
who probably never will be listed
~ heroes in the worlds hall of
fame. On the other hand there is
probability that some Of those who
have been regarded as heroes will
soon pass out from that regard.
Even publicity cannot save them.
Time puts to the test publicity as
well as publicity's offspring.
But it will not do to throw away
our heroes because we may suspect
that their elevation to a lofty niche
10 partially attributable to publicity.
Some Of the best fruits come by ap-
probation only by publicity-and
remain II they retain a pleasing
flavor. Publicity gave to some of the
greatest productions in filmdom the
crowds that came and approve of
these tSiumphs. An instance is cited
OF a most excellent production that
is proving financial failure because
I there was lack Of publicity in intro
ducing it. Those who have seen II

not seen it.

August Woods

August Woods
Now an old enchantment here
Drowsily is wound,
And a pale moth. floating near,
Is the center of a sphere
More than mortal ground.
Now an old enchantment here
Weaves a viewless round.
Here no prying thought may como
Neither, critic reason.
Locked profaning lips, and numb
Every sentinel OF sense, by some T.,
Slow and subtle treason. Z
Here no prying thought may como
For a bated season. Z
On the sun a shadow falls:
Winds are soothed to signing
Low the voice of water drawls,
flushed the murmur, hushed the calls
OF creeping things and flying.
On the sun a shadow falls
AS the world were dying.
So the world might fall asleep,
Knowing no tomorrow:
Lose the way to SOW and reap,
Lose at last the way to weep.
To barter love and borrow.
So the world might fall asleep,
Grown too tired for sorrow.
