ing to a potato field, he proceeded:
Take that field over there. There
enough alcohol in one years yield of

captain Of industry closed the sub

Finally, note the forecast of q new
by DIR. Hans Hartman of New York,
who is leading an expedition for the
study of submerged civilizations"
In his opinion future generations
will be largely dependent upon the
sea and upon the strata which 1T
covers for their OIL their ore, their
coal, and even for their food. These
strata, he points out, form seven
tenths of the earth's surface and
have thus far remained UNEMPLOYED
certain as it is, according to the
biologists, that the oceans cover sup
plies of oil and minerals greater
than any to be found in the dry land
areas. All needed for their utiliza-
ton, DIR. Hartman assures US, is an
Improvement in the art and me-
clanical equipment of diving. But
he does not inform us how These
treasures are to be dug UP and
brought to the surface. And while
we wait for the explosive dust, the
vegetable oils and the under-sea fuel,
we may hear again from the psysi-
cists who claim that there is enough
power in an ounce of ordinary mat
ter anywhere, could it be extracted,
to lift a skyscraper to the top of the
Himalayas or drive an ocean steam
er sheer across the Atlantic.

NEWS THAT'S GOOD TO READ

NEWS THAT'S GOOD TO READ
A year or two ago there was much
IN the news columns about the Vet
Grams Bureau. It was not altogether
pleasant reading. The country had
taxed itself without stint to aid the
disabled veteran to get on his feet;
the money was being sauandered it
seemed; some in authority were eth
err rascals or appeared to be rascals.
Assuredly unpleasant reading-but
news.
A radical change in the manage
ment of the affairs Of the Bureau
evidently has taken place. That has
not appeared to be news. on the prin-
ciple that mo news is good news
which should be taken for granted,
and it was good news about whicn
General Hines, director Of the Blu
reau, talked to the American Legion
yesterday.
Evidently a splendid work has
been carried on the past year with
out publicity or fuss; evidently, too
the authorities of the American Leg
ion have been lending valuable as
sistance, all Of which has occasioned
hard volunteer work on the part OF
somebody and which has not been
receiving the attention it deserved. II
has been no small undertaking. The
evidence that devoted service has
taken the place of rotten nanipula-
ton is really the kind Of news thai
does us all good to read.

organ in the college chapel Is greatly
anticipated.
DR.. Hartshorn, a graduate of Bates
in the class of 1886, is the Oldest
member of the Bates faculty In point
of service, and is one Of the best low
ed of all the professors. He is very
much in demand as a speaker on lit
erature and the drama and is at
present giving a course of lectures
on Modern Drama before the Lewis
ton B. p. w.
DIR. Cowell, who gives the Found
ers' Day address, has been headmas-
ter of Gushing Academy for nearly
40 years and at least part of his
splendid success has been due to his
ability to get the young peoples
point of view and to sympathize with
their problems and difficulties. He
was one of the speakers at the Bates
commencement dinner last June
when his address was a gem of
thoughtful Renaissance and quiet
humor.
During the day opportunity will be
given 20 visit college classes, so that
parents and friends of the students
may become better acquainted with
the work that is being done. Return
ing alumni will renew their associa-
lions with campus activities in way
that they cannot do at commence
ment when most of the students have
gone. For the students themselves
the day will be of great significance
as they learn of the, outstanding
events and personalities of the early
history of Bates.
The debate on Prohibition between
Bates and Oxford University in the
evening will be a. fitting close to the
days festivities. Governor Ralph o.
Brewster will preside. The speakers
for Bates will be Harold II. Walker,
'26 of Portland, John p Davis '26 of
Washington, d. c. and Fred T.
Googins, '27 of Portland. Each team
will uphold the policy of it's own gov
eminent in regard to this outstand-
ing question of the day and the de-
cision will be by vote of the audi
ence.

THE LURE OF THE AIR

The world Is yet supplied with
lukes for the adventurous. These
change in some respects from gener-
alton to generation noticeably in the
last few years.
Right now the lure Of the air holds
the center Of the Imelight. Disaster
only seems to whet desire to over,
come. When Captain Road Amund-
sen and Lieut.. Lincoln Ellsworth re-
turned from their almost mad
venture in airplanes in quest of the
North Pole, returned after given up
for lost, thanks to Providence and
grit. 1t was reasonable to assume
their zeal would be somewhat di-
minished. Yet now that the ele-
ments have shattered the Shenan-
doah and the safety of airsf1ip navi-
gallon is somewhat in doubt Amund-
sen and Ellsworth buy an airship
half as big as the Shenandoah and
propose next May to demonstrate the
feasibility of an air route from
Europe to Asia, via the North Pole.
This airship. Nj. they have pur-
chased from the Italian Government
and they propose to sail it from
Rome to Spitzbergen and from there
1900 miles across the Icy wastes to
Point Barrow, Alaska, possibly
charting on the way an undiscovered
land, which Macmillan sought and
which scientists from a study of the
tiHes conclude must exist.
Amundsen expresses the opinion
that the trip may be made in As
hours. II successful. this adventure
should encourage those who believe
it feasible to establish an air route
that would shorten the distance from
London to Hong Kong one half and
the time Of travel even more. The
lure of the air will not be denied.

The Right of Revolution


Some loose minded correspondent
of the New York World has made
the astonishing discovery that no es-
sential difference is to be traced be-
tween the principles of Abraham
Lincoln and those of the excluded
East Indian agitator Saklatvala. This
discovery is based on the following
words, attributed, no doubt with
authority, to Lincoln:
This country with its institu-
tions belongs to the people who
inhahit it. Whenever they shall
grow weary of the existing Gov
eminent they can exercise their
constitutional right of amending
it, or their revolutionary right
to dismemher it or overthrow
1t. IN
No American political philosopher
has ever questioned the right of
revolution" If the people who in
habit this country wanted to over
throw the Government, they would
undoubtedly possess the right to
do so, because no one could with
stand them. The American people
undoubtedly resorted to that right in
ITS, and we hold them to have been
justified. But the right of revolution
is the right of force when all other
means fail; and the same people who
exercise that right have an equal
right to prevent the application of
force when they neither need it nor
want it. In other words, not only
the right but the power remains with
the people, and is in no sense a
prerogative of disturbers who are
going against their will.
If the people ever come to the
point of wanting revolution. they
will have it. In the meantime, not
only will they prevent the application
of force in attempts to overthrow
their lawfully constituted govern
ment, but they will restrain the
counselling and the organization of
force to overthrow it.
Nothing that Lincoln said in the
extract given above is inconsistent
with the act of our Government in
excluding the foreign advocate of the
subversive force in our political af-
fairs.
