OUR MEMORIALS ABROAD

Were European battlefields to be
cluttered by monuments ana me-
MORALS originating in this country
and erected in memory of the Amer
lean soldiers the impression SO maze
on the popular mind abroad woulo
hardly be complimentary to the
American people. General Pershing
has the good sense to appreciate TINS
and is doing what he can to prevent
us making ourselves ridiculous In
such fashion.
At the recent meeting of the
American Battle Monuments Com
mission he brought this matter up
and expressed his views very plain
ly. and we trust effectively. lie
thinks the plans Of the Commission
call for a plenty of these memorials
and that none save those approved
by the Commission should be erected
as all that are erected will be re-
Earded by the foreigner as repre-
senting our Government. The Com
mission has decided to approve no
more memorials that would not be
useful to the inhabitants. such as
would be bridges, fountains and
public buildings. Another reason
why there should be none other than
Government memorials Is that the
latter are assured of being kept up
suitably by the Government. which
in the nature Of things would be too
much to expect where they are
erected by associations or States.

BEST KEEP AN EYE OUT

Facilities for transportation being
what they are today, the problem OF
insuring suitable road houses Is
growing one. 1t Is troubling some
Of the States seriously. In Penn
sylvania, the other day, a judge
sentenced the owner of a tavern to
prison for a good term and imposed
a fine Of $4,000. This because he
sold to youth under age. Massa-
chusetts is now discussing ways and
means for checking the menace.
OF the bill before the Legislature
in that State the Boston Herald
says:
1.-THE bill is a meritorious measure
1t aims at the correction OF real
abuses. If these abuses are of the
dimensions alleged by some persons
who have access to the facts, they
are nothing less than scandalous
If the abuses are not so serious they
constitute, nevertheless, a menace to
the moral and physical safety OF the
whole public"
There appears to have been in
Maine little occasion for criticism OF
the places along the way of the tour
lists and inviting patronage, although
we should not blind ourselves to the
existence of possibilities or neglect
precautions. Maine communities
! would not be inclined to tolerate
,, such conditions as are said to exist
t., ROme
other States. Generally speaking
the authorities may here look with
considerable degree of confidence to
the neighbors for. cooperation in
maintaining respectable conditions
i But be not overconfident.

Procedure Needs Classification
(Bangor commentary

(BangOr commercially
1t is at least questionable how far
better enforcement of law, a
higher respect for law in general and
the entire status in public opinion of
the individuals duty to uphold strict
and impartial discharge of the obli-
cations of public office has been ad-
vanced by the proceedings looking to
the removal of the high sheriff of
Kennebec county and the attempted
induction into that office of q sue
cessor.
The general consensus of public
opinion appeared to be that the
hearings before the Governor ana
Council were so lacking in dignity
and so inconclusive in proof as to
have warranted still larger num-
Der of diSsentients than the even
split of the hearing councillors indi-
Gated.
One matter seems quite obvious,
namely, that the present constitu-
tional or statutory methods of Sc
curing the removal for cause Of in
efficient or unfaithful sheriffs need
amendment or classification so that
results obviously justified may be
reached more directly, with less cir
cumlocution and in a manner more
acceptable to the common sense of
justice of the public at large.
And some adequate provision
should be made for giving a clean
bill of health to officials whose in
nocence of wrong doing is mani
tested by the proceedings. The
present procedure is plainly made
quate in this respect.

An administration bill has been
formulated. If this becomes a law
the prohibition and customs service
will be reorganized. some fourteen
additional judgeships will be created
salaries for the judges will be in
creased. The House plans to get
about this right away. 1t is said this
bill would enable the Secretary OF the
Treasury to imposH the duty OF pass
ing ON the customs collector prop
lens upon the commissioner OF Gus
toms. while retaining general super
vision and control over all customs
officials. 1T would leave the inter-
nal revenue commissioner free as to
collection tasks by creating sep
arate bureau of prohibitions with a
commissioner in charge, with defnite
fixing of responsibilities and duties
as to enforcement of prohibition the
country over. The bill would not
change the civil service status OF
customs employees but those employees
of the prohibition unit now appointed
under the national prohibition act,
without regard to civil service laws
would come within the provisions
of the civil service laws. Approx
imately $4,000 is estimated as the

l was very much pleased to read
the article in the Editors Letter
Box" of the Journal, Feb. 9. under
the head of, In Time of Peace
Organize VS. War" to quote in part,
why do civilized co nations con-
tinue to use a large percentage OF
their income to maintain military
preparedness for war, when small
part of the sum would promote a
mental preparedness for peace that
would make war not only unneces-
sary but unthinkable."

pressed that same sentiment in his

WOMEN IN INDUSTRY

"women are not fixed in industry
though they are fixtures of industry.
AS scientific research applied o.in-
dustrial' processes and commercial
systems has progressed so the en-
ployment opportunities Of women
have been advanced, shifted, or re-
tarded. But the/net result is expan-
sion of the occur ational area open
to women" .Women's Bureau Of u.
S. Dept. Of Labor.
The observer will readily conclude
that along with the expansion of
opportunity there has come to the
women a corresponding desire to
take advantage Of 1t. Indeed, one
may doubt whether the millions of
typewriters would be clicking SO ef-
fectively. whether the telephones
would have been able to render as
capable service, whether there would
have been attained such proficiency
in many branches Of industry had not
women's nimble fingers been trained
to the work.
There are some who see a loss on
the part of women with regard to
skill and aptitud. for the home
keeping requirements. There does
seem to be .om for such doubt. On
! the other hand women have gained
resourcefulness and greater indepen-
dence In other ways. which probably
more than offset what they may have
lost. While machine tending I'M
doubtedly is deadenino to the tender
the routine is uninspiring, the crea-
tive instinct is blunted if not afro
phied, nevertheless improvements
and changes in machinery anc
appliances have followed one another
so closely that a certain menta
alertness has been required of the
operator DESTROYS Of holding hel
position. A condition not theor!
faces society and societys NANTES
obligation is to devise ways for bes
meeting 1t.

Editorial Comment
Senator FernaId's Bridge
(Lewiston JournaD

Senator Fernald of Maine Is chair
man of the committee building the
$14,000,000 bridge at Washington.
They have advertised for bids for
the granite and the Maine Granite
Co., is second lowest bidder.
Now, Maine wants that job and
Maine has a real reason for wanting
1t because it is for the good of the
nation.
There is granite and granite. The
strongest, most durable granite in
the world Is that of Maine. The abb
surdity of classifying all granite as
granite Is ridiculous.
The lower bid than that of Maine
Is for Southern granite that is
easier to work. easier to cut; but
for bridge not worth anywhere
nearly as much as the Maine granite.
Hundreds of kilograms are going
to Washington asking for the selec-
ton of Maine granite on the score of
it's value. even tho the price be tri-
fie more than the other bid.
