The Liquor Question

To the Editor OF kennebec Journal:
Judging from the hue and cry that
is going up from deluded dupes of
the liquor interests, one would think
they had the welfare of the country
at heart and if they did not succeed
and get the liquor back again, the
country would be ruined. They have
succeeded in fooling some people, but
the rank and file of the people know
what the real reason is. They are
not concerned about our country's
welfare, what they are concerned
about is their own personal gratifica-
ton.
II those who are at present putting
up such howl for liquor would use
half as much energy to enforce the
18th amendment to the constitution,
there would not be bootlegger with
in the confines of our land. Give the
Volstead law a chance and instead of
fighting against it fight for it. Those
who want Righteousness to prevail
will, those who want the law changed
to crafty their own desires will not.
From time immemorial the forces
OF Righteousness have had to fight
against an insidious and vicious prop
uganda which had for its aim the
downfall of every great reform which
finds its recruits in every rank of
life

Yes, sir! When Professor Jim
Crow heard Mrs. Crow remark that
she thought their son Blackie should
take singing lessons, he almost
jumped out Of his spectacles. Deed
he did.
"Wait a minute until I read you
something" he shouted. and bringing
his Wisdom BOOB from the closet,
in which he kept THIS famous volume.
he pushed his spectacles down on his
beak and began;
"A crow can cav. but cannot sing.
Not even in the lovely spring"
There. that settles the question"
he went on, but Mrs. Crow didn't
agree with him. She imagined her
little crow boy could do anything.

looking down at the 1uckymobile, in
which you remember in the last
story sat the old gentleman rabbit

Just because Jimmy Jay says
Professor Crow can't sing is no rea-
son why Professor Crow should say

"Well. I've had two narrow

Proposed Arnold Trail Highway

Proposed Arnold Trail Highway
The hearing on the proposed Ar
mold Trail Highway, announced for
the county commissioners to take
place Monday Of this week, was post
poned until next Saturday, and the
place of the hearing changed from
Eustis to the county building, where
1t will be opened at 1000 A. M. Az
the place and time set originally for
the meeting, the legal representatives
OF the various parties interested
either for or against the road were
present, and all signified a willing
ness to dispense with another view OF
the route over which 1t IL desired
that the road be built, but the cofh-
missioners preferred to have the line
gone over again for the sake OF avoid.
Ing any technicalities that might
arise and as It would take two days
to go over the route. this was the
cause of the postponing Of the date
of the actual arguments. This pro-
posed road has been before the pub
lie for some time, and there Is a gen.
eral demand for the road all over
Franklin county, as shown by the
several petitions that have been
signed and presented to the county
commissioners. The land owners
have for various reasons always OPP
posed the building Of the road. and
the matter was turned down TWO
years ago by a commission appointed
by the supreme court, which re-
versed the favorable decision OF the
commissioners. Since then, II is
claimed, new conditions have arisen,
the demand for the road has not
diminished, but the petitioners claim
or-y demand
now greater than ever, hence the
matter has been reopened, with a
new petition, new view of the pro-
posed route, in fact everything new
except the parties at interest, just as
though 1t was an entirely new pres
entation of new matter, which from
legal point Of view it really is. At
torneys interested in the case are:
George w. Cover, Esq, of Skowhe-
gan, representing Matte E. Goodwin
and the Coburn heirs; Herbert w.
Locke, Esq. of Augusta, representing
Blaine S. Viles; Frederick r. Dyer,
Esq. of Portland, representing the
Brown company: Frank w. Butler.
Esq. of Pennington, representing the
Dead River Tinnberland Co.; Herbert
S. Wing. Esq, Of kingfield and Cyrus
n. Blanchard, Esq, Of Wilton, repre-
senting the petitioners and 1t Is ex-
pected that other local attorneys will
appear. Saturday, for the petitioners
and some additional talent may also
be brought in for the opposition.
There has always been a great deal of
local interest in this proposition to
build a road through to the Canadian
border, uniting the interests of
Franklin county with similar inter-
ests in the Megantic region and be-
yond, and nearly all the business
men of Franklin county have at one
\ time or another signed a petition
asking that the road be built, and
there is now a very strong local SEN
timent in favor Of the road.

Aetion."
WOULD OUTLAW HERON

On August 80 the Interparlia-
mentary Union Conference. sitting
at Geneva, adopted the resolution
presented by our representative.
Stephen G. Porter. chairman of the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs,
recommending to all governments
the enactment of effective laws and
regulations prohibiting manufacture
and distribution of heroin.
No Government, at all worthy of
respect, should hesitate to act in ac-
cordance with this recommendation.
rs the United States already has
done. Authorities declare that
heroin Is not essential for any good
use, that other and less harmful
forms Of opium may be used as sub
stitutes. The danger in its use is a
formidable menace to civilization.
Mr.. Porter's own observations and
investigation have convinced him
that at least one third, perhaps one
half, of the crimes of violence COM
mitted in the large cities of the
United States by the so-called gun
men, and others, is attributable to
heroin addicts k.
Where in all this world is there a
Government willing to assume re-
sponsibility for the manufacture and
distribution of an unnecessary drug
that makes Of moral towards brutal
and brainless men without fear and
without conscience?
The head Of one Of the largest
prisons In this country testified at a
hearing that Sc per cent of the men
admitted to that prison were drug
addicts, that the average age of the
herojn addict was younger than that
of the others; that large percent
age Of these criminals would not
have been criminals had they not
become addicts.
We need derive no false sense of
security from this action at Geneva.
1t should be regarded as a definite
step toward restraint, but there is a
long distance yet to go and the world
is under the necessity Of travelling 1t,
hard though it be, if 1t would save
itself from this terrible scourge.
The efforts to prohibit the producing
and exporting of opium encounter
serious opposition, as the financia,
interests concerned are great In
some countries Recently India has
agreed to endeavor to restrict this
to legitimate uses but should she
over a period of years succeed In
doing so there is right now but lit
tie assurance that poppy farming in
Turkey, in Persia and in islands of
the Indian Ocean, would not increase
under the stimulus Of increased
prices.
But the fight must be kept up.
The cause is one that should enlist
every self-respecting government or
Individual even the addicts them
selves.

Editorial Comment
Mr.. Bakers Debt Brief
(The Public Ledger


Newton d. Baker, ex-Secretary Of
War, has taken up the burden OF the
cancellation tale. His voice will
blend with that of Clemenceau the
Frenchman, Churchill the Briton and
of that American banking group
favoring cancellation. The Baker
conversion seems recent. He said
nothing Of cancellation in the days
of his own beloved chieftain, Wood
row Wilson. who always opposed it.
Nor is it in line with the stand OF
Mr.. Bakers own party, the Demo-
Gratis Some of the most vigorous
enemies of cancellation are found in
it's ranks. Mr.. Baker. however, has
made certain new, powerful and pos
sibly significant connections since
the war. These indicate he may be
speaking. not only for himself, but
for those financial interests in the
Middle West now and finally per-
suaded to work with certain others
in the East who demand that Amer
lea shall pay the cost of Europe's
own war.
Mr.. Baker is a corporation lawyer
Of great parts. Since 1924 he has
become less the politician and more
the attorney. His plea for cancel
lations reads more like a lawyers
brief than 1t does the outgivings of
a statesman or even of party
leader.

THE LEAGUE IN LABOR

There is to be q very important
meeting Of the League Of Nations
Assembly on Monday at which two
problems insist on solution. These
are the reorganization Of the Coun-
Gil and the admission of Germany to
the League. The peace Of Europe
and the future of the League are
deeply concerned in having the right
solution secured. Until Germany
becomes q member Of the League it
IL altogether unlikely that the pact
Of Locarno will avail anything sub
stantial.
Germany insists that she be taken
in alone. Spain insists that she be
given a permanent seat. With her.
Brazil and Poland opposed the ad-
mission of Germany last March.
Brazil has withdrawn from the
League and Poland's revolution has
discredited her influence in some de-
gree, 1t Is presumed. Great Britain
and France appear to be agreed that
the number of permanent seats in
the Council be restricted to I'VE.
themselves. Italy, Japan and Ger
many.
A suspicion has arisen that Italy
and Spain are contemplating a trade,
for their acquiescence in the desires
Of Great Britain and France, to
secure certain concessions In the
Mediterranean. Both these countries
wish to enlarge their influence in the
northern part Of Africa. Spain Is
set on control Of the affairs of Tan
gier, now internationally admins
tered.
1t Is quite evident by this that
European ambitions are altogether
preponderant in the affairs of the
League Of Nations. affairs which
those countries should by themselves
and not at the dictum of any power
In the Western Hemisphere.
