ANOTHER CRIME COMMISSION

Commission students bid fair to
outnumber college students. If there
be question about which everyone
doesn't know everything, why, ap-
point commission to learn about 1t.
Governor Smith of New York asks
for the selection of commission to
investigate crime. Crime commits
sions are the fad right now.
Why does not Governor Smith
seek. so far as lies within his power,
to have the instrumentalities estab-
lished for the regulation and pre-
vention Of crime set to work at full
capacity?
An official Of the State Of Massa-
chusetts is doing that. at the risk.
we presume, of his popularity in
some quarters. But we are told that
Governor Smith is also courageous.
And by the way the State of New
York has capital punishment, so that
isn't all that's needed to put an end
to crime. Cannot Governor Smith
ascertain the truth and the causes
underlying the recent statement of
the warden of Sing Sing to the eff
feet that those who have money and
influence do not suffer the extreme
penalty in that State?
Why not experiment with prompt
use of anti-crime agencies now had,
so the results may be studied by our
multiplying crime commissions?

Wage Theory and Practice

NANs AllCSJ
Mr.. William Green. President Of
the American Federation of Labor.
has told a Princeton audience that
the classic wage theories of Adam
Smith and John Stuart Mill have
been rendered obsolete by modern
American production methods. In
stead of wages being controlled by
the law of supply and demand and
by living costs-the reference is ap-
parently to Ricardo's Iron law" of
wages-we are adopting the principle
of wages determined by the pro-
ductive ability of the worker in CO.
operation with scientific production
management. The managers of in
dustry are shifting their emphasis
from the wage bill to purchasing
power. Mr.. Green lays down a doc
trine which is finding acceptance
among employers. Low wages are
false economy if they render the
worker unable to exercise an effec-
tive demand for the products of in
duStry.
Whatever may be the American
Federation of Labor theory on the
revolution in wage ideas. the Fedora
tons practice does not quite. bear
out the contention that the law of
supply and demand has been rem
dered obsolete in the labor market.
The A. F. of l.. has been perhaps the
most effective single agency in the
establishment of new American i'm
migration policy. 1t has strenuously
advocated restriction of immigration
on the ground that it would raise
wages by keeping down the labor
supply. To the same end is directed
the rigid system OF apprenticeship in
the labor unions. If organized labor
were. convinced that supply and de-
mand has ceased to function in the
labor market, 1t would have no fear
OF permitting a free test between an
unrestricted labor supply and the
newer principle of productivity as the
determlnant of the wage level.
That principle is, of course, not so
new as Mr.. Green is inclined to be-
neve. Productivity has long been the
real standard for wages If Amerl-
can industry has been able to COM
pete with lower wages in European
industry, and If European in
dustry in turn has been able tn
compete with extremely low wages in
the backward countries, the reason is
ZANZIBAR enough. The higher
workers higher output has matched
ltselt successfully against low wages
coupled with low efficiency. There
VIII be no quarreling with Mr.
Greens view of the future of wages
IN TINS country If labor lives. IN 10
us responsibilities under the new
theory, which is not so new. If the
workers efficiency keeps pace with
in industrial management.
Adam Smith. Ricardo and Mil NAV
undergo reinterpretation. But
II high wages are to be maintained
solely by an artificial restriction of
the labor supply. the basic truths in

than thre different ones were in prog

Several of the Junior and Senior

at an informal afternoon party. The
college boys were also guests at din
ner Saturday evening.
Flora Wheeler and Helen Hall, the
teacher and assistant of the Junior
Girls class in the new community
Sunday School organized by Oak
Grove girls, gave party to the mem
bers OF their class on Saturday
afternoon. Every girl was present
put one who was detained by illness
at home. The little girls arrived very
promptly and were welcomed by their
young hostesses, who had planned a
charming party for them. The
guests enjoyed variety of merry
games and also welcomed an excur-
sion over the school. The hostesses
served nut and candies for refresh
ments and declared they had as
much fun as their guests. Other
teachers plan to give parties later to
their classes.
Miss Smith chaperoned a party of
girls to Waterville on Saturday
morning.
The girls held their regular Y. w.

A FAIR DEAL IN TIME

A fair deal in time saves nine
possibly dozen-court decisions. to
say nothing of hard feelings. also q
lot Of lawyers fees.
One George Campbell Carson. a
prospector. who has tramped the
deserts and mountains In search of
valuable metals, who thought at
night upon ways and means. who in
vented process whereby the smell. .
ing of copper ores might be improv-
ed. now comes to his rights after a
long and pitiful struggle lasting nine
years.
A wealthy corporation is found to
have used Carson's invention and re-
fused to compensate him in any way.
Now the courts decide that twenty
millions is the sum due him.
What that rich corporation has
spent in lawyers fees to defend its
iniquity very likely would have~been
gladly accepted by Carson in the first
instance.
Few inventors would have had the
courage and tenacity to fight against
such tremendous odds. Presumably
that Is why the corporation hoped to
take 1t from him.
If such were it's attitude the corr
poration was no better than a high
wayman.
But, however or whatever the
blame, isn't this striking instance
to illustrate the advantages to be had
from fair dealings?
We have funds for art museums
and other worthy causes: what about

4 Rabbit - Ell
lISc by David Cory aAE
e by David Cory

One morning outside the little white
house in the dear Old Bramble Patch
a sweet carol, like that of the pretty
canary in her. gold cake in the sitting
room, was heard by the little rabbit
family. At first the bunny boy thought
his yellow feathered pet had left her
golden cage for the fields and mead
ows, but on looking up, he saw her
swinging on her trapeze.
'Who Is singing outsider" asked
the little rabbit, hopping over to the
window. why, it's RedpoIl," he
shouted. on seeing a little bird, some
what smaller than the English SPAR
row.
$50 it is" laughed Lady Love, the
little rabbits pretty mother. Some
people call him Red-capped Chippy."
Yes, there stood Redpoll. picking off
the seeds from the Foxgrass with his
sharp bill, his crown of bright red
and dark brown back, streaked with
gray. shining under the rays of Mr..
Merry Sun up in the Blue Sky Coun-
try.
Eyes. it's Redpoll himself went on
the little rabbits mother. "See his un-
der parts. streaked with blackish
feathers, and hts pink vest. Mrs. Red
poll mas no PINK breast IeatherS, al
though her feather suit Is very like
his"
Has he been here all winter?"
asked the curious bunny boy.
Il imagine So" answered Lady Love,
"for when the weeds and grasses up
North are buried in snow, all the Red
polls fly southwark in focks." Just
then away few Redpoll, and the I 1T
minute Professor Jim Crow, his WIS
dom Book under his wing, tapped on
the window pane.
Here I am, Professor Grow,
Open the door before I go,
I've only minute or two to speak"
And he tapped the pane again with
his beak.
"Come in," cried Lady Love, open
ing the door, as Little Jack Rabbit
hoped over the floor. He always liked
to meet this wise old Blackbird, be-
cause every time he talked with him
he learned something.
"Just saw flock of Redpolls de-
parting for the North" said Professor
Jim Crow, hanging his black derby
hat on the wooden peg behind the door.
Never knew them to linger as soon
as the warm rays of Mr.. Merry begin
to lay bare the earth"

Chicago Throws Up Her Hands
public Ledger)

(PuDllc LeQSer)
The city whose motto Is 81 WIZ
seemingly has not bent that will"
to the cleaning of. her own house. In
desperation her citizens have called
upon Washington for help. They
distrust their own officials and their
own courts. Chicagoans are afraid
to serve on juries, afraid to vote for
conviction. lest they be marked down
by the gunman or the slugger.
Not so long ago Chicago was
threatening to "secede" from Illinois
and apply for admission as State.
Now she admits that. with all her
power, wealth and pride. she cannot.
as a city stamp out a group of low
browed human rats. She cannot find
the courage to end the terrorism
caused by her alien criminals and the
gunner she has harbored
The second city of the United
States has thrown up her hands and
is calling for Federal aid. Here is
confession of breakdown In local re-
sponsibility and f-government
never witnessed before in any great

COMMON SENSE AND OBLlGA.

II want to have a place in every
prison for every man to work every
day in the week except Sunday, about
eight hours a day at some manual
task. l don't believe there is any,
thing on earth that will reform a
man. any faster, and 1 know mighty
well there is nothing on earth that
will degrade him and make him more
worthless any quicker than to let him

partment of Justice.-If that isn't

cans of recently packed fish foods,
a few of which can be used by
private families at no cost, as aside
from the smoked-up tin the contents
of many cans are yet useful. but
could not be sold. Many boys of the
city had previously collected a large
number OF jars, boxes and cans of
prepared herring, Goldfish cakes. and
strips of cod that had not been
damaged enough by fire, smoke and
water so as to render it unfit for
food for those who had later pur-
chased few lots from boys. The
larger part of the refuse is of little
value at present, however. the better
articles having been earlier selected
by salvagerS attracted to the fire at
a time when little attention had been
paid to such small affairs. While
Manager Jay c. Potter of that city,
who has been in charge of the above
company's fishery interests in East
port for the past 25 years, has not
announced any information as to
whether the Beardsley company will
later rebuild their extensive smoked
and boneless herring business in that
city, although owning valuable prop
erty in that section, it is probable
plant will be erected and equipped
with expensive machinery for carry
ing on various fishery industries
there. The Beardsley company Rad
recently been arranging for canning
several kinds of fish products in con-
nectlon with those handled UP to
their recent fire that wiped out the
entire plant in a few hours. Plans
had been made for putting up fish
foods from the variety that are cas-
lily caught in many parts of Passa-
maquoddy Bay in Maine and Canad-
ian waters where an abundance of
cod, pollock. hake. paddock, Holsters,
clans, scallops. herring of many
sizes and occasionally smelts. are
available often.
For the past five years it has been
customary to observe the second
Sunday in March as Maine Sunday
School Day. This was inaugurated
IN 1922 by the Maine State Sunday
School Association for the purpose
OF uniting the thought of the church
school population of the State of
Maine upon-its common task and
opportunity. to help create an in
terest in the work of the organiza-
ton representative the oenomina-
lions in Maine in religious education,
and to enable the Sunday Schools
of the State to raise their annual
quotas for State Sunday School work.
Each year a program has been
prepared and sent out over the State
and has IN wildly and successfully
used. This year program has
been prepared by Rev. Fred w.
French, general secretary of the
Maine Council of Religious Educa-
ton Formerly known as the Maine
State Sunday School Association
entitled Building Together a Right
eous State" This program which
may be used as material for a church
school worship service on March
14th, the date set for Maine Sunday
School Day in 1926, may also be
elaborated into a dramatization or
pageant for an evening church SER
vice. The program is based upon the
symbolism found in the Maine State
Seal and the seal of the Maine
Council of Religious Education.

mand what they want-if they really
know what that may be. Their de-
sire for novelty has been catered to
and encouraged to degree that has

ing, good taste is asserting itself. We
may expect a fruition from such de-
sires that will be a vast improve
ment on crazes for novelty. which
clutter the shelves of merchandising
with costly articles, salable only for
q brief period, and which were
bizarre rather than beautiful when in
vogue.
1.-THE time is ripe for an artistic age
in American manufacturing" de-
cares New York's National Bank of
Commerce, that notes an awakening
desire on the part of the buyer from
which it concludes that a reconcilia-
ton between ART and modern industry
IS under way, adOlnS.
1.-THE age of machinery has devoted
its forces thus far to quantity out
put. Machinery, together with the
Astounding natural resources of the
North American Continent, has pro-
excessively increased the output of
manufactured products and brought
more goods within reach of the ma
jority of the population. Standard
-f4 lar Il a
reproach of the system of mass pro-
duction. The art of the future in
America must be the art of the
machine. A return to handwork is
impossible because civilization can
not afford to sacrifice the comforts
and benefits bestowed by machinery.
A new artistic age will arrive when
the products of the machine express
the highest possible perfection as
universally as handmade objects did
in earlier centuries. There Is no
reason why perfect design may not
go hand in hand with multiple
production"
With regard to It's dictum that the
art of the future in this country
must be the art Of the machine, one
may object that it is too inclusive.
The individual touch that gives char.
acter to the music Of the violin can
not be standardized. nor should at
tempt be made to have 1t SO; but that
producers of the standardized need to
be mindful of the artistic as we'll as
Of the useful. When the public's
conception Graves the really artistic
in place Of the novel and Haunting 1t
will be an occasion for congratula-
ton all around.
The research conducted by this
bank affords evidence that such a
time Is near at hand II not already
arriving. It finds no support of the
theory that Americans are not an
artistic people. What other people
would have done better in this re-
spect with cement and steel on the
skyline of New York. better in
pictorial advertising, in motion pic
lures?
The bank in this matter undertook
q practical mission. Secretary Hoov
er advocates the promotion Of in
dustrial art as most essential
service to commerce and enrichment
Of life. Chambers of commerce are
giving 1t consideration. They see
that we are producing more of
standardized ugliness than the con-
sumner really wants; that in this
matter Of quantity production COM
petition is getting to be very keen.
There must be some other appeal
than those of necessity and cheap
ness.
