Our day roundhouse foreman's
wife returned from a short visit
through Texas, and it's good
thing, too, for Possum nearly died
trying to eat his own cooking.
Just our luck. G-r-r* x ?! Of
course this redheaded person had
to be working on a night shift
when the fair members of the PIT.

house. However, was glad to learn
that Doug Wade showed them every
courtesy. They lauded the neatness
of our shops.

in Los Angeles attending to some
financial affairs and as it behooves
a namesake of the famous race
horse owner, Barney will no doubt
cast a few glances at the beautiful
Hollywood weenies.
A pretty bad smash-up happened
last Wednesday morning in front
of the Phillips blacksmith shop on
East Third street. A Maxwell
owned by our crane operator, Ed
die Cordova, which was going
south was hit by a tourists car,
driven by a lady, going east and
was completely ruined. Except for
a bent bumper the tourists car was
not damaged. Fortunately, no one
was seriously injured, although a
piece of the broken windshield
inflicted a slight cut on small boy
in Eddie's car.

Hospital I President
Visits In WinsIow

The Rev. T. S. Hunter, of Wick
enburg, pastor of church there.
and leader of a disqualification
movement which bids fair to spread
over the entire country, was in
Winslow attending the session of
PIT. A. convention as a delegate
from Wickenburg.
The Rev. Mr.. Hunter not long ago
originated and started a movement
which may solve one of the prob
lens confronting this state in the
care of its tubercular visitors from
other states. His plan in brief is
to centralize the patients at one
point, Wickenburg, where hos
pital for their special use will be
constructed. Special features con-
nected with his plan have received
the endorsement of press, pulpit
and medical profession over the
state.
The institution will be known as
the National FTaternities hospital,
and was incorporated March II of
this year with 2,014 members. Mr.
Hunter has already secured the CO.
operation of the Hiram club Of
Phoenix, under whose auspices he
is largely working, and number
of fraternal societies and unions.
His work depends upon contribu-
tions and endowments Of small de-
nomination. His slogan is GA mil
lion dollars from million men, :"
and on that basis he has received
much encouragement in the south
ern part of the state.

THE PHILIPPINE PROBLEM

The best information obtainable is
to the effect that the Filipinos are
not yet to be trusted to take over
the government of those islands and
hold it against the world; also that
American commercial interests do
not want the United States to let
the islands go.
This situation General Wood, the
present governor general takes oc-
casion to emphasize, and he express
es the opinion that the United States
should announce a definite policy re-
specting the matter.
There does not appear to be any
data that would enable this country
to fix upon a definite future date
with certainty that the Filipinos
would be ready at that time, nor does
it appear that attempt to do so
would be agreeable to the CONNER
cial interests. 1t might help If a de-
cision were reached to set the time
Of consideration at a certain future
date, and so for the present remove
certain features of the agitation
which undoubtedly are bad for all
parties concerned.

GOOD TO HAVE THEM

All the way from Portland, Ore
gon, to Portland, Maine, the presi-
dent Of the national federation Of the
business and professional women of
this country. brings the appeal ito
enter with enthusiasm the open doors
of friendship. love and cooperation,
faith, good will and opportunity"
Those of the 1000 members visiting
Maine. who have had their pictures
took" for the press look as capable
of such an undertaking as any ag-
gregation of men or women who
have occupied the front pages Of the
newspapers. Neither does there ap-
pear any reason to wonder why this
is so.
The women in business and pro-
LESSONS necessarily have the FEM
mime equipment plus the experience
afforded them by contacts from the
busting experience of their walks in
life. They may miss something OF
that attained by the home making
women, though doubtless some of
them acceptably fill the dual role,
nevertheless their vision of the need
Of friendship, love and cooperation,
faith, good will and opportunity" is
not thereby restricted or impaired.
And they have come to a land,
than which they may find none fair
err; they are permitted to enjoy its
finest output Of weather, than which
none is superior-we would not
boast-and here they find opportun-
ity for multiplying friendships, wild
ening their recognition of opportun-
ity, and in their meetings making
practical application Of the spirit of
cooperation. 1t is good to have
them here in Maine when we are at
our scenic best; we trust they will
find it so.

County Agent Charles c. Laryabee

Flora Howard have returned from
Orono where they attended a con-

counties of the State.

Crops throughout this section of
Maine despite the heavy rains are
looking fine. County Agent Larrabee
states that the crops collectively are

week has been more than favorable
for such work.

was before Judge H. M. Hayes in the
municipal court Monday charged

Complaint made by Deputy Sher-
if Fernald Whitman, Drawn entered
a plea of guilty and was sentenced to
pay a fine of $500 and costs of
prosecution and his license was sus-
pended for 10 days.
The case seemed to be An aggra-
waited one, Drawn had had several
warnings from county and town Of
ficials and still persisted in driving
his motorcycle at high rate of
speed, and performing in a very
reckless manner, several persons re-
port having seen him sitting on the
luggage carrier of his cycle with his
arms folded when the machine was
tearing off good mileage. This of
course is not only dangerous to him
self but to others on the highway,
both pedestrians and motorists.

PROHIBITION AND PATRONAGE
IN. Y. Times)

General Lincoln Andrews, now in
general charge Of prohibition en-
forcement, has met an obstacle that
he scarcely could have foreseen. In
his desire to get better results he
has worked out comprehensive
plan reorganizing the whole system
of enforcing the Volstead act Dis
regarding State lines, he has follow
ed the division Of the country into
judicial districts and proposes to
name some twenty-five administra-
tors, one in charge of each. Natur-
ally, with his keen eye for military
efficiency, he wants to secure the
best. possible men as these local
commanders under him. But in such
a selection of subordinates, whom he
can direct and hold personally re-
sponsible, he has already been warn
ed that he is not to have a free hand.
Here are important offices to be fill
ed. and the politicians, seeming the
good things from afar, are descend
ing on Washington to notify General
Andews that the appointments must
be made at their suggestion, or at
least with their consent, or they will
know the reason why. 1t is said
that the Republican whip of the Sem
ate has bluntly told General Andrews
that he himself will be refused con-
firmation by the Senate unless ne
agrees to do the right thing in the
parcelling out Of Offices.
Thus we see that prohibition is a
splendid thing. but that patronage IS
something nobler and far more es-
sential. From the first. prohibition
enforcement has been infected and
weakened by the spoils idea. The
strong probability is that the Vol
stead act could not have got through
Congress unless the swarm of agents
and inspectors under it had been ex-
empted from the civil service re-
quirements. If the politicians of
both parties had not been permitted
to give these Offices to their own fol-
lowers they would have promptly
fallen out Of love with prohibition.
To this day they act. or at least the
majority Of them act, as if they
thought only of the Jobs" to be an
portioned, and cared little or nothing
what the effect might be upon the
execution Of the law. And now when
