attentiyely to the address Nof Govern
or Brewster, who gave an account
of the stewardship of the Republican
party in this State during the past
two years of his administration and
finished by declaring that the party
stood for a strict law enforcement
with proper punishment for those
who commit crimes against society.
The governor told his audience that
during the past.year while the wave
OF crime has been rising steadily all
over the United States, the State of
Maine had registered a decrease of
20 per cent fewer cases being reported
to the Attorney General. and that
while the ratio of convictions for
homicide in the country as whole
was put one in ten, Maine had a rec
ord of 100 per cent convictions.
CongratuIates Governor
Il want to congratulate you upon
the monumental record of this State
in the matter of stamping out crime"
were the first words of Colonel
Roosevelt, who was the succeeding
speaker, and who addressed himself
to Governor Brewster as a "Comrade
Legionaire." II believe that your at
titude on law enforcement. and the
record of Maine on criminal prosecu-
ton should command the attention
and respect of the entire country and
most particularly of my own State
of New York." he continued.
The younger Roosevelt spoke of his
inherent love for the State of Maine
for which his father had always held
a particularly warm spot of affection
and recalled the fact that when The
odore Roosevelt, ST.. embarked upon
his great Western adventure he took
as his companions and right hand as

Trudie Wires "Grats"
Peace Dominant
Note at Geneva
With Germany in Fold

Geneva, Sept 10-[P)-Faith that
loyal cooperation will keep Europe
far from war and safe in the paths
of permanent peace and happiness
continued tonight t, be the dominat-
ing note of this memorable day when
Germany was received into the
League of Nations with the applause
of thousands. Foreign Minister
Stresemann, the German representa-
tive. in a striking address before the
assembly, had prayed that the des-
tiny of the League of Nations be full
filled on the basis of it's lofty con-
ception of peace, freedom and unity.
And former Minister BRAND in NOV
ing language pledged the support of
France to policies that would thrust
war aside forever.
The one outstanding feature Of the
day was the rather gingerly manner
with which both Stresemann and
BRAND approached the problem Of
disarmament, giving the impression
that both statesmen realized that
this is the most difficult problem of
all confronting Europe.
DR.. Stresemann counselled "tactful
work" in achieving disarmament
while NJ. BRAND practically gave no.
tice that Europe could not shake Of
her heavy burden of armamentSk until
equilibrium was restored both econo.
mically and morally and until people
We're convinced of their security.
DR.. Stresemann told newspapermen
at a banquet in honor of the council.
at which he clinked glasses with
BRAND, Vandervelde and Chamber
lain, that all must bear in mind that
every day is not Sunday or a holiday
and that daily effort is necessary to
make peace secure"
The concrete effect Of today's work
Is that the Locarno accord is official
~ merged into the mechanism Of the
League of Nations. DIR. Stresemailn
made it perfectly clear also that any
German objection to the Versailles
treaty hereafter be handled at Cen
eva. With Poland probably elected
to semi permanent seat, Germany
and Poland will have an opportunity
peacefully to adjust their problems
also in Geneva.
A consequence being commented
upon here Is the Importance that
Japan will now assume in the council
as mediator because Of the fact
that she is not a signatory to the Lo-
'carno pact. She therefore has no d.
rect interest in the problem which
may arise among European states.

Sabbath Observance
Report State Supt.

The state superintendent of this

mankind, as well as a demand of CIV

rest of body and mind; nfthere was
no divine hour requiring periodic
rest there is a natural law demand
ing 1t. In Maine we have good laws
covering this and as a whole the peo-
pie want them enforced. In this time
when the amusement mad portion of
society would assault the sanctity of
the Sabbath, by letting down the
bars, the people of our State cry out
against it, for they recognize that the
fourth commandment as the law of
the all-wise Creator is fundamental
to most of happiness and prosperity.
Surely we cannot think our Father
would infiict on his children unjust
restrictions for no reason but to de-
prive them Of pleasure. The Bible
tells us that in ancient days no OBJ
servance was more rigidly enforced
than keeping the Sabbath for rest
and worship: punishment and disas-

the State do not look with any de-
gree of allowance upon the open
Sunday. They want the uplifting
influence of the Church and Sunday
school to safeguard the home. Some
of the greatest men in history have
given their testimony to the value
of the Sabbath, when it is properly
observed. The Supreme Court Of the
United States says. Laws setting
aside Sunday as day of rest Are up
held to Protect all persons from ply
