FORESIGHT NEEDED

Where may a better location be
found for the plant Of the Bath Iron
Works? At Bath may be found both
water and rail transportation, hous-
ing accommodations very inviting to
such employees as wish for commo-
dious homes at reasonable cost.
There Is no better city in which to
live, none where labor has a better
reputation for industry and thrift.
IT Is incredible that such a plant
surrounded by such favorable con-
ditions, may most profitably serve
its owners by going to the scrap
heap. Such disposition of 1t would
hardly seem creditable to the fore
sight of business interests concerned
with 1t or to those looking for
opportunity.

"what's the trouble?" again asked
the Kind Farmer, as he looked out of
the little bedroom window, but when
he turned his head and saw the two
little rabbits you should have heard
him laugh. Why he laughed SO
loudly that a shingle dropped off the
roof on his head, when, of course, he
stopped laughing and hurriedly dress
ed himself. Then out he went to the
woodshed for the big, tall ladder, and
placing it against the side of the
house. he climbed up and nailed that
shingle on again in case the sunshine
turned to rain. I'm glad to say he
didn't hit his thumb instead of the
nail. If he had, maybe.
The Baker might burn the Caraway
Bun,
Or drop the Apple Pie,
Or the Man in the Moon eat all the

"Now's our chance to hop away"
whispered Uncle Lucky, who with the
little rabbit had been hiding under
the woodpile, as the Kind Farmer
went into the house for breakfast.
So Off they went, clipperty clop,
lipperty lop, to the Shady Forest.
Goodbye. little rabbits, come an
other day;
We are very sorry you must hop
away"
sang the Weathercock as he whirled
around on his toe to point to the
East. For when he points that way
you may be sure it's going to rain.

will bring along the clouds and
spread them all over the sky. Yes,
he'll open all the tiny faucets to give

No sooner did the Barnyard Folk
notice how the Weathercock was
pointing than they began to preen
their feathers. rubbing their bills
against the tiny oil sack that each
one carries on his back just above
his tail.
Dear me, 1t looks like RAIN" all of
a sudden cried Uncle Lucky. "Of
course my old cotton umbrella is be-

"Never mind" laughed the bunny
boy. I'll look for a big toadstool.

GuNMAN AND REPRESENTATION

It IL impossible to read the crime
news without being convinced that
there exists in the underworld a
profession. members of which are
skilled and take a professional pride
in their ability to kill anyone, who
dares to interfere with them. Nom
chalent disregard Of the right Of
human beings to enjoy life is a
mental attitude common to the gun
men. Judging from their reported
statements and actions. The re-
mark of one of the other day throws
light on their viewpoint: well I
guess It's in me and has got to come
out"
Now 1t Is not to be supposed
that these gunner are permeated
with the doctrine of predestination
or REORGANIZATION. What each evil
IDENTIFY Ii obsessed by is a desire for
easy money and absolute indif-
ference to the right or the wrong of
it Indifference to the suffering Of
their victims. who. they assume,
should keep out Of the way.
Such callous contempt for the
rights Of others, such light estimate
Of the value Of the life Of another,
reveal q mentality more dangerous
to the community than that Of a
raving lunatic. We endeavor to re-
strain the lunatic until he is either
dead or cured. There is just as
sound reason for restraining the
gunman who deliberately arms HIM
self to kill his fellow human beings
so. unfortunate as to interfere with
him. He either is lacking by nature,
in qualities that warrant freedom to
associate with others or he has de-
liberately Invested himself, by drugs
or otherwise, of saving grace.
In either event q way should be
found to take the gunman out or
society and keep him under continu-
Gus restraint, whether or no he has
accomplished his deliberate purpose
to- take human life. There should be
for such. no pardons. no terms of
Imprisonment, any more than for a
lunatic with . mania for killing.
This done the chances are that fewer
Of them would conclude themselves
predestined to the profession of gun
men. II they conclude they are
foreordained to restraint once they
enter the thug profession, 1t should
help. Such a course need not bar
them from conversion that may be
7 real but would protect society from
conversions that are spurious.

Editors Letter Box
The Bringing Up"
OF Rose Carson

Editor Of Kennebec Journal:
I was interested In the article IN
the issue OF The Journal for March
Gath on Rose Carson Bowden, and
have been interested for many years
in the movements OF the Carson fam
lily.
The family came to Garland not
far from 1868 and. located on a farm
in the northwest part Of the town. l
do not know where they came from
nor why they came there. With them
was man by the name of Judd but
commonly called BILLY Jedd." With
him was a woman known as Maggie
Mann who must have come from a
red light" district, for she wore a
red dress and she had other charac-
teristics of such q district. 1t was
quite a sight to see her ride through
the village on a gig and 1t was made
more impressive by driving horse
with a hip knocked down" which
compelled it to travel somewhat side
ways.
George Carson was reputed to have
been a sailor and it afforded us boys
much pleasure to hear him sing songs
| such as sailors are said to sing. Then.
as was the case after he went to live
near Togus, he was interested in
liquor. On one occasion he and
"Billy' went to Exeter Corner and
while drinking in the hotel Chat was
in the good old days") became quar-
relsome.
The landlady armed herself with a
revolver and the landlord with a
long handled flreshovel, peculiar to
those days, and proceeded to suppress
him. The revolver did no damage but
! the shovel was so effective that Car
son had to call on his way home In
the middle of the night and have my
father Ga physician) repair his head.
| Carson probably never heard of the
| fourth dimension but he knew how
to handle the second-breadth. The
man who owned the farm on which he
| lived hired him to peel hemlock bark.
The pile was measured and he was
paid accordingly, but when the bark
was hauled 1t was discovered that
| while the pile had length and thick
ness it was lacking woefully in
breadth. for although the ends looked
| whole. the inside consisted Of short
| pieces.
Rose must have come to Garland
| with the family, for a woman now SO
years old who lived not far from the
Carson home, once told ME that she
| wanted to play with Rose when small,
| but her mother objected because of
| the family reputation. Consequently
Rose must be about her age. I never
knew what became of BILLY" and
Maggie"
