First English Printer.

The first man who ever printed
books in English was William Cax-
ton, who was born in 1922 and lived
for 50 years. This gOodly old gentle
man, who pronounced his name like
"Cuaxton," learned the new art of
printing from the German and Dutch
master printers. He printed such
great classics as the Canterbury
Tales" THE Golden Legend THE
Siege and Conquest of Jerusalem, 4"
Malory's Legends Of King Arthur"
and "Reynard the Fox" He never
received any great credit for his serv-
ice to all Engiish-speaking peoples in
his day and died a poor man. A
hundred and fifty years ago any OF
his books could be bought for a few
shillings. Today a single volume Of
that great printers work has been
known to fetch as high as $4,000 at
auction.
Now, what do you know about that?
Answers to Yesterdays Questions.
I. The Sault Ste. Marie Canal car
ries the heaviest net tonnage of any
canal in the United States, owing to
the weight of the iron and copper ore
passing through it.
9. The American canal opened just
100 years ago was the Erie Canal.
3. The Panama Canal carries the
heaviest tonnage in the world, 20 ,000,-
600 tons, or about 100000 tons more
than the SueZ.
i. Locks for canals were invented in
1881 by the brothers Domencio Of
Viterbo, Italy. Leonardo da Vinci, to
whom the invention is generally at
tributed, did not construct his locks
till seven years later.
5. The most famous canal east of
Suez is the Grand Canal of China,

DIRECT PRIMARY
HELPS TO ENFORCE
SAYS MRS. QU|MBY
Especial to Kennebec JournaD


Old Orchard. Me-, Aug. 10.-Speak-
ing at the w. C. T. U. Field Day here
today, Mrs. Althea G. Quimby refer
red to the Direct Primary law of
Maine as a help to the election OF
law enforcement candidates.
Said Mrs. Quimby: 1.-THE stir IN
the West regarding the Direct Pri-
mary Law has aroused those In
Maine who are not friendly to the
law to renewed activities and pub
licity. These attacks upon the law
come from those who have never
been friendly to it; from those VINO
have found it more difficult to mani
pulate political affairs in Maine un-
der the law than under the old con-
vention system"
"There is great similarity between
the war on this law and war on the
Eighteenth Amendment. Enemies OF
the latter to placate the questioning
public say, No one wants the sa-
loon back So enemies of the Direct
Primary law say, No one wants the
old convention system back again
please tell just what is wanted IN
either case? What will be sure TO
materialize in case of a changer
I'VE do not pose as great prophets
when we forecast that in either case
the evil which the law seeks to abol-
ish will flourish and prevail. The
trappings may be changed, but the
horse like the trojan steed, will har-
Dor that which will not work for the
good of the State"
ut is said by those who would
change the present Direct Primary
law of Maine that party solidarity In
this country is seriously threatened
by the Direct Primary. Accepting
this premise, that party solidarity is
always desirable and forgetting what
crimes have been committed in its
name. we must note that the greatest
blow to party solidarity in recent
years came through the evil of con-
vention system, as shown in the
National Republican convention of
1912. Even hasty reading of Ameri
can history will show one that fac
tons, party split and insurgency
fiourished quite abundantly long be-
fore the Direct Primary law was
thought about"
THE opponents of the Direct Pri-
mary law in Maine are overlooking
the real issue before the people of
Maine. We are not legislating any
system of nomination for the people
of the West, but of Maine.
THE question is this. Is the Pri-
mary law the law we want in Maine ?
How does it meet our conditions in
Maine? Has it promoted radicalism
in Maine? Has it caused or is there
any evidence that it will cause the
election of any radicals to Congress
from Maine? Have there been any
blocs in our State legislature caused
by the Primary law? Has it pro-
duced either splits in any party in
Maine?"
and in answering these questions
we must not forget to compare the
effect of the Direct Primary with the
Convention system in Maine.
