Now let me see, Little Reader. I
guess the Policeman Dog arrived just
in the nick of time as l closed the last
story. And did the old gentleman rab-
bits heart leap with delight on seeing
his blue-coated friend. Well, I'll say
yes three times. 1t beat so fast and
furious that it almost bumped the
gold watch and chain right out of dear
Uncle Lucky's vest pocket.
Il threw box of pepper in Old
Man Weasers eyes," explained the old
gentleman bunny in whisper as he
and the brave Policeman Dog hurried
up the winding path through the
bushes to the tiny white bungalow.
There he is now, trying to clear his
eyes" Sure enough. the old weasel
was using his pocket handkerchief to
the best advantage,-that is, maybe
and perhaps! At any rate he was using
it SO we'll that he hid from view I'm

You old rascal exclaimed the Po-
liceman Dog, giving Old Man Weasel
a box on the ear, what do you mean
by frightening little rabbits?" But the
old robber never answered, only looked
over at the tiny white bungalow.
What are you staring att" all of a
sudden asked the quick-witted Police
man Dog.
Dear, dear! Maybe he knows what
has happened to Lady Love and Little
Jack Rabbit" cried the anxious old
bunny man, all of sudden, just like
that Scarcely were the words out of
his mouth when who should fly by but
Bobbie Redvest. Alighting on the
Policeman Dogs shoulder, he whis-
pered in his ear, "Old Man Weasel has
locked Lady Love and Little Jack
Rabbit in the sitting room closet"
where's the key to the sitting room
closet?" growled that good old dog,
twisting Old Man Weasers ear.
Don't know" he answered.
Yes, you do" growled the Police
man Dog. giving the ear another twist
Come, own up. Quick, or I'll twist off
your ear. Without it you'll find it hard

Teach boys and girls alike that
they are not to look forward to lives
spent in avoiding difficulties. Teach
them that work for themselves, and
also for others is not curse but a
blessing; seek to make them happy;
seek to make them enjoy life; but
also to make them face life with the
steadfast resolution to wrest success
from labor and adversely, and to do
their whole. duty before God and man.
The life worth living must be life
of work for a worthy end, and
ordinarily a life of work for others,
rather than ones self.-Theodore
Roosevelt.

One looking over the pamphlet
issued by the American Automobile
Association illustrating the con-
fusion existing with respect to high
way signs in this country may
hardly escape the conclusion that
something should be done to
simplify and standardize these. I'm
tformity there should be. We can
think of no agency better situated
to aid in bringing this about than
is the A. A. A. It's recommends
lions do not appear to have been
made in recognition of the reported
prevalence of color blindness. If
this affliction be as extensive as
some authorities claim, there is
little reason to expect uniformity in
depriving the afflicted of the privil-
eye to drive. The alternative to that
would seem to be dependence on a
kind of sign that would warn the
color blind as well as those not so
affected.

SUPPORT THE PRACTICAL
ALONG WITH ETHICAL

Colonel MacNider, on his recent
visit in Boston, took occasion to
reiterate emphasis respecting i'm
practical pacifism. He declared, as
do most of those who have had
actual experience in recent war, at
least, that the true pacifist is the
man who has been to war and knows
what he is talking about. He
assumed that Jane Adams would
pay little heed to what he might
suggest respecting the management
Of Hull House, and yet he had been
at Hull House, whereas Miss Adams
had never been to war.
mo man who has ever served in
battle has any desire to repeat that
experience. He knows what war is
in all it's brutal horror. He prays
that it may never come to him nor
to his sons. He will make every
honorable sacrifice to maintain the
peace, and he will demand it of his
nation"
This declaration from such a
source, corroborated as 1t has been
time and time again, would seem to
merit more of confidence than the
statements of professional pacifist,
The latter's business, his means of
livelihood is to preach a pacifism
FROM which he anticipates the flnan-
cial support of thousands of those,
who wish to do everything within
their power to prevent another war
and really do not or will not perceive
a better way to go about 1t.
Colonel MacNider says what we
want "is not a great army, but an
expert nucleus; not great gathering
of war materials to fret us in peace:
not great mobilization of men under
arms" That, we believe, to be in
line with the wishes Of the large ma
jority of people. We are not burdened
with great military establishment
We are successfully avoiding that
through the medium of the National
Guard. There should be, if we would
avoid running round in circles and
sowing money broadcast in time OF
emergency, an industrial prepared
ness, an orderly survey of the fac
tors essential to such preparedness.
We believe stabilized business has
more to lose than gain from war
nevertheless methods for making wal
improbable are to be desired. The
bill which the American Legion IA
vors would provide for the conscrip-
ton of all agencies for the main
tenance of our army as well as of the
personnel of the army itself. This
is but one of the ways by which
practical pacifism may be made
effective.
Such an attitude should and, we
believe, does appeal to practicaI
minds and the best way by which we
may retain the practical along with
the ethical, rather than the visionary
or the political is by supporting the
practical, supporting those leaders
who act upon it. We hope a way
may be found to keep the MacNidrs
on the job.

Pittsfeld.
Biddeford Journal:-Heretofore the
Journal has preferred to remain
neutral in connection with the Pep
perell labor trouble. 1t has tried to
give in it's news columns a fair
summary of developments from day
to day, and its pages have been open
to expressions of opinion by both
sides to the controversy. At this
stage of the trouble, however, the
editor does not hesitate to announce
his belief that the union workers
have lost much or most of the SYM
pathy of the public. This does not
mean that the public does not re-
greet the hardships and actual suffer-
ing of the helpless, innocent victims
of the trouble. OF this kind of
sympathy there is no lack, but of the
kind which goes so far toward maxi
ing any strike a success there is a
woeful lack. We do not believe the
union workers as a whole favor at
tempts to burn mill property, and the
perpetrators of such acts close the
door to public sympathy for their
cause. The torch is the last resort
of the coward, and no labor union
was ever strongly enough entrenched
in power to use it without loss of
prestige.
