WHAT SHOULD CHANGE
EuROPE,S ALTITUDE

Jacob Gould Schurman had &C.
casion recently to speak In Berlin,
and furthermore he emf I'd 1t to
good purpose. He reminded his
hearers that American tourists are
paying the greater part G the Eu-
ropean debt to the United States;
that America is accepting on an
average Of 40 cents on the dollar of
the debt; that the war did not cause
American prosperity, as war en-
riches no nation; that our prosperity
is chiefly due to harder work on the
part Of the American people and ex-
cellent Industrial organization.
He declared no people save the
Hindus and Chinese work s hard as
do the Americans. That so many Of
the latter are able to ride to and
from work in motor cars emphasizes
the fact Of superior industrial organ
ixation, 1t would seem. Mr.. Schur-
man spoke in an optimistic vein
when he predicted that Europeans
are beginning to realize this and
change their attitude toward Amer
lea It's a fair guess tina. .A4lerican
tourists will have to contr.', e con-
siderable more to the European
Golfers before such realization be-
comes deepseated.

n. E. Market FavOrs
Three Apple Varieties

Amherst, Mass, November 29-CR)
Time was when Boston market
men bought just plain apples from
New England farmers. Now they
buy the Mcintosh. Baldwin and
Gravenstein but they have little use
for anything else in the apple line.
All but forgotten are the Roxbury
Russell. the Rhode Island Greening
and other favorites of our fore
fathers. =
Many of the oldtime varieties were
of excellent flavor and had good
keeping qualities but they commit
ted the cardinal sin of failing to
provide themselves with handsome
skins. Today's consumer demands
beauty as we'll as quality. If an ap-
pie isn't very red and very big 1t
might as we'll not exist.
The three dominant varieties are
sold in greater quantity than ever
before.
TT is plain, says Professor r. A.
VanMeter, apple specialist at the
Massachusetts Agricultural College,
that Mcintosh and Baldwin should
be planted more heavily than other
varieties in most commercial orch
ards. while Gravenstein should be
added where 1t is known to thrive.
There is nothing in sight to take
the place of any of these varieties.
"The selection of supplementary
varieties Is difficult. 1t is evident that
several varieties popular ten years
ago are slated for the discard.
WAGNER was in high favor a few
years ago but it's storage life is so
uncertain that few growers or deal
ers wish to take the risk. Williams
is the handsomest apple of its season
and for short time is high enough
in quality to become popular, but 1T
deteriorates too rapidly.
Delicious has been disappoint-
ment to many New England fruit
growers. The most common COM
plant is too many small apples.
The trouble increases as maturity of
the tree approaches. We need high
quality apple to follow Mcintosh on
the market but doubt is increasing
Is to whether Delicious is that var

SEMlNOIES WOULD BECOME
CITIZENS

The chief of some 500 living Semi
mole Indians, so called. informs the
President that they wish to end the
truce Of Osceola and become citizens
by swearing allegiance to our coun-
try.
Mention OF the truce of Osceola
recalls a discreditable chapter in
American history. The desire for
determination of the Seminoles was
excited by slave holders who were
annoyed because some of their slaves
escaped to live among the Indians.
Osceola was the son Of an English
trader and an Indian woman. He
married the daughter Of q fugitive
slave that was captured and returned
to slavery. Osceola was put in irons
and when released from these killed
the agent and fled and started the
second Seminole War. In 1887 he
was taken prisoner by breach of a
flag Of truce. Let US hope that the
Seminoles may now make terms with
a generation that doesn't betray flags
of truce

Those interested in retaining a
trans-shipping and distributing point
at Montreal are not taking kindly to
the St Lawrence waterway project,
which the joint board Of engineers
recently declared to be feasible.
Likewise New York interests would
prefer to see waterway from the
lakes to the seaboard through that
State. The engineers consider the
cost of such q project prohibitive.
But isn't this a great country, also
a country great in riches, ask the
New Workers.. Evidently the st.

A ONE CROP PREDIcAMENT

The plight Of one crop areas be-
comes at times quite serious but the
instances where this leads to diver
sincation of crops appear to be rare
Instead the wheat, corn and cotton
growers would have Uncle Sam buy
their surplus in fat years and later
may get around to seeking reimburse
ment for money expended in the lean
years.
Georgians right now are over
stocked with cotton, the market price
of which is less than cost and slack
at that. Bales of cotton are being
accepted as collateral, automobile
agents are swapping cars for cotton,
some of the schools are accepting
cotton in payment for tuition. All
this. however affords no warrant that
Uncle Sam should guarantee the
price Of cotton raised in excess of
demands.

Well as the little rabbit family
were making poor Turkey Tim, COM
Portable in the dear Old Bramble
Patch, all Of a sudden
Tinkle, tinlkle, tinkle, tink!
Went the telehone, quick as wink.
Uncle Lucky is on the phone, ex-
planned Lady Love. HE will call early
tomorrow morning for you. He's 60
ing to Turnip Town"
"Hurrah.' shouted the little rab-
bit, happy at the thought Of a ride in
his nice Uncle's Luckymobile. I'll go
to bed early so as to get up with Mr..
Merry Sum-" and off he hoped to bed.
It hardly seemed to him that he had
been asleep a minute when he was
awakened by the honk! Of the old gem
tleman rabbits horn.
Whats the matter? Everybody
still in bed?" the next minute shouted
dear Uncle Lucky. And he hoped
about on the little back porch to keep
his toes warm until in a few minutes
the little bunny boy opened the door.
Have you had your breakfast?"
asked Lady Love, setting match to
the kindling wood. After. which she
filled the water kettle and set 1t on the
tiny black stove.
YES, but ] can eat another"
laughed the old gentleman rabbit. Il
declare the crisp morning air has
given me appetite number two" and
he was Just about to sit down at the
table, when he spied Turkey Tim out
side near the Little Red Barn.
whats he doing here?" asked the
old bunny man. Let's invite him to
breakfast"
Hes staying with us until the holt
days are past" explained Lady Love.
Wise old gobbler," laughed Uncle
Lucky, and hopping over to the door,
he shouted:
Come in, Turkey Tim. Breakfast is
ready"
Pretty soon, after the little rabbit
had brought in the kindling wood and
fed the canary. the kind old gobbler
having promised to polish the front
doorknob. Uncle Lucky called to his
bunny nephew and together they
hopped down the winding path
through the bushes. Then into the
Luclymobile they jumped, and with
honk of the horn, away drove the
happy old bunny man with his small
rabbit nephew. BY and by, after a
while and chilly mile, for the wealth
er was cold and Mr.. Merry Sun just
out of bed, pinky night-cap still over
his head a strange sound greeted
their ears, Chuck. chuck, chuck!
~"What's that? asked the startled
little rabbit.
Sounds like a wooden mallet strik-
ing something hard" answered Uncle
Lucky, peering about. The next min

MAINE SHOWS HER coLoRs

At q special election, Monday,
Maine gave an unmistakable DEM
onstration Of her opinion on several
important matters. Following the
primary election little interest was
manifested until within four days Of
the election. but it quickly reached
a boiling point.
First and foremost, there can be
no question Of Names Republican
ism or of her endorsement of the
Coolidge administration. This, not
withstanding many lifelong Demo-
Gratis evidently voted the Republican
ticket. We may assume that 1t was
not hard for some of these to vote
for a Maine builder Of business who
would support Coolidge instead of
voting for New York attorney pos
ing as a Maine Democrat and en-
dorsed by the Khan. Also, notwith-
standing the number of nominal
Republicans who, under influence of
the Khan, turned their support to
the Democratic candidate.
At this election for the first time
in Maine the Ku Klux Khan showed
its head, a shining mark for many
with hands full of bricks. The Khan
got the bricks. We do not think
that In this State this order will
ever again attempt to rob Peter to
pay Paul in the hope of robbing
Paul to pay Peter. taking big po-
litical toll out Of the transaction
both ways.
A most unusual pre- election fea-
ture, something never before wit
messed in this State, was a governor
recently elected by Republicans
against strong opposition. prejudg-
ing the eligibility OF a Republican
candidate and supporting charges,
which at the following hearing were
found not to have a leg to stand
upon.
The opponents of Hon. Arthur r.
Gould, whose senatorial aspirations
have received this splendid endorse
ment-he carried his own county Of
Aroostook eight to one and the State
by over 4S,O00-have said they
would carry their charges to WASH
ington. What Maine thinks of the
matter will have reached there long
ahead of them, and those who be-
lieve in representative government,
in the will of the people making
choice Of their senators, will view
these charges as a sorry joke, a po-
litical travesty.
The State of Maine in a most de-
cided manner. by an unusually good
vote for special election, shows
that it has confidence in Hon. Ar
thur r. Gould, in the national ad-
ministration. and in the good Amer
lean doctripe of live and let live.

WORDS THAT MEAN SOMETHING


There was much in little in General
Dawes address Of 2o1 words dedicat-
ing the Soldiers Field Stadium to
Chicago's World War dead. These
words mean something:
when through the years the Ma
ton for its preservation was con-
fronted with war, it asked and re-
ceived the sacrifice of the flower of
Ats youth for the common good. It
was the young who fought its bat
ties.
Dedicated. when they entered the
war, to silent and complete obedience
to orders which meant certain death
--inarticulate In their serried columns
of battle, these young men-now dead
speak to US at last but one message
upon this occasion: To preserve I'M
sullied what they gave ,us-to think
in these careless days Of the awful
cost of that liberty we so often abuse
to form within our own souls in
this time of peace which has come to
us. the firm determination to MAIN
tain our Constitution and our Con-
stitutional institutions, that their
blessings enjoyed by us may be
transmitted to our children and our
children's children"

AN EVIDENT ATTEMPT TO
DECEIVE

We would acknowledge receipt Of
a communication signed Arturo NJ.

under the date Of Nov as. With the
letter. evidently sent out to the press,
are two enclosures; one purports to
be page Is of an issue Of weekly
magazine; the other Mr.. Elias says
'1s . copy Of the picture taken in
front Of the Bank Of Mexico ON its
opening. Sept LIST, 1925"
This latter Is the identical picture
evidently reproduced in the magazine
eleven months later entitled "Catho-
lies withdrawing deposits from the
bank Of Mexico in protest against
the seizure Of Church property"
Instead Of this. to quote ELIAS. ut is
q picture Of persons waiting to put
funds in the new bank after 1t had
been officially declared open *"
The Mexican consul general pro-
ceeds to say: 1T Is not my purpose
to enter into any criticism Of the
series Of articles on Mexico in
Liberty The contents Of these are
their business, not mine. It IL my
business, however, and the business
Of every editor who cherishes the
ethics Of his profession, to protest
against such a deliberate attempt to
deceive the public Of North America
as to happenings in Mexico"
Manifestly there Is q difference Of
| opinion. a confiiction of interests be-
tween tho two governments right
now, which might easily be infiamed
unjustly. Cool consideration is what
is needed and our State Department
was we'll advised to make public the
correspondence between 1t ana the
State department Of Mexico. Con-
fusion and prejudice should be avoid
ed If possible and propaganda should
| be closely scrutinized.
