OLD MAN ALEXANDER

The Missouri of tradition insists
upon being shown; well it has been.
by no less a conqueror than Grover
Cleveland Alexander the Great. The
first Alexander the Great, by the
way, could not, had he wished,
found precedent for the use of the
Grover Cleveland part of it; that
not being provided for until several
centuries later by the Reverend
Burchard-and Grover Cleveland
himself.
Be all this as it may, and indubi-
tally ancestor worship is a thing Of
the past. there turks in the hearts of
those, who sympathize with the
under dog, admiration for the ap-
proachingly ancient worthy, who
steps into the breach which no
youthful material available appears
suitable to fill.
So stepped Grover Cleveland Alex
ander in the seventh inning when
Missouris chances of securing with
in her confines a world series cham
pionship, the first in 40 years, were
fast slipping out of the reckoning.
And Old Man Alexander surely hand
ed 1t Old Man Ruth, who by the way
has had glory enough out of the
series, with three home runs in one
game. Verify the ancients con-
tributed nightly to the features of
the great contest.

such rules and If they are as stated
by the Courier Gazette they should
be Immediately eliminated. This
good will and selfgovernment stun
Is far too greatly overdone In prison
life. We do not believe in abusing
convicts but we emphatically object
to making it possible for them to
assault guards.
Picture the situation as It IS re =
ported to have existed. One man in
the guard room of a prison contain
ing 250 convicts many of them des-
perate men who would grasp the
first opportunity for escape even at
the cost of taking human life, and
that man unarmed!
Years ago the state prison had
plenty of guards armed with rifles
and ready to shoot. A visitor in
those days could not but notice that
the chances for escape We're very
few and the convict making such an
attempt took chances with his life.
Evidently the present system is de-
signed to prevent guards from shoot
ing convicts rather than to stop con-
victs from attacking guards.
We base this criticism upon the
statements made in the Rockland
newspaper which we assume are cor
rect, incomprehensible as they seem
to be. If correct then it appears to
be- full time that the rules of the
Prison Welfare League are legislated
from the state prison at ThomaSton.

BUT COLUMBUS GAINED
PUBLICITY

Look at what can happen in 4S4
years since, to borrow a witty re-
mark, the aborigines fell on their
knees before white men, gods from
another world, and the white men
fell on the aborigines, or words to
that effect.

the 18th of October, 1892. when
Columbus came over the ocean blue,

If we can be somewhat like him In
certain other respects, we may be
helpful; Columbus was.
Doubtless he was not the first
white man to set foot on this land
and we learn that he did not know
where he was at when he arrived
Possibly, too, he was convinced be-

AN OCCASION FOR PRIDE AND
CONFIDENCE

If there be anyone skeptical re-
specting the value of the impression
made upon the visitors to Maine by
our highways, a ride over the excel
lent work that is being done be-
tween Biddeford and Kittery should
disabuse his mind.
Here one finds an unavoidable &C.
casion for pride in Names highway
system, and for confidence in those
at the head of it. Successful en-
deavor is being made to build for
the future as we'll as for the present.
What with the tremendous increase
in highway traffic, this is not easy
to do with facilities at command. In
the matter of grades and founda-
tons this can and is being done and
the recognition of the need of great
err width is being applied insofar as
the funds permit.

EMiNENTLY FIT

Apparently there are none, whose
opinions are worthy of considera-
ton, to question the fitness of Presi-
dent Coolidge's appointment of the
Hon. Charles E. Hughes to the
Permanent Court Of Arbitration at
the Hague, his colleagues being
Hon. Elihu Root and Judge John
Bassett Moore, a distinguished dele
cation.
Since 1906, when Mr.. Hughes in
the insurance investigation in New
York demonstrated his unusual abili-
ties, there has been no instance
among the onerous duties he has
been called to perform when those
abilities were questioned. Those
duties included those of Governor of
New York for two terms. Of Justice
Of the U. s. Supreme Court and
Secretary of State, when he bore
conspicuous part in the Conference
for the Limitation of ornaments. A
country is fortunate to command the
services Of men like those compos-
ing this delegation.

REGARDING THE RECOUNT

The recount of the Kennebec
County vote for sheriff did not prove
an exception to the rule that re-
counts of an honest ballot do not
usually upset results. Considering
the small margin of %, as originally
announced, the recount was to have
been expected and the effect is sure
to be beneficial.
1t is gratifying, but no more than
should have been expected, to learn
that the recount reveals no crooked
work, Notwithstanding the interest
was unusually intense. 1t also is
gratifying to learn that the margin
secured by Mr.. Cummings is wide
enough to assure any who may have
been skeptical, that he is the choice
Of the majority.
That majority no more tolerates
currupt officials than fraud upon the
ballot and they have demonstrated a
disposition to insist upon justice to an
official in whom they have confidence.
Possibly some advantages will accrue
from all the effort, time and money
that have been expended in con-
nection with the removal of Sheriff
ComIhings, though doubtless there
are many now incapable of recogniz-
ing these. The result, however,
should prove an incentive to
officials generally. as 1t carries with
it a certain degree of assurance that
the public will stand back of one in
whom they have confidence.

WHAT ABOUT IT

Absence Of hullabaloo isn't reliable
evidence Of lack of effort. of under
standing, or even of interest. How
ever, SO quietly slip by the days sp-
preaching the primary to determine
what candidate shall represent the
Republican party at the Senatorial
election soon to follow that con-
siderable comment has been oc-
casioned among not only those who
have little opportunity to estimate
the work being done but also among
those who would be likely to know
something about 1t.
II this criticism be valid and no
change occurs between now and
Nov. 1, an extremely light vote at
the primary will be probable. The
reason? Perhaps there isn't any; 1t
seems so, when the more of re-
sponsibility that is placed upon the
voters the less they care to do about
It, apparently. Are we to infer the
public has lost interest in those who
represent them in the United States
Senate? Are we to suppose that
people are so well situated under the
national administration of affairs
that they have lost interest in per-
petuating that sort of management,
are fatuously presuming these will
continue without support from them,
that It makes no difference to them
who may be selected to represent
Maine?
At least we might fairly expect
from loyal Republicans a pride in
selection for this important position,
even If we assume that all four of
the Republican candidates would be
worthy supporters of Republican
administration of national affairs
Not always has candidacy for the
United States Senate been lightly
regarded; possibly it isn't being now
SO looked upon, but there would
seem to be some cause for appre-
hension.

Editorial Comment
Time For A Chan e


The four convicts who escaped
from the Thomaston prison Tuesday
have been recaptured and returned to
their cells but that action should not
end the matter. Precautions should
be taken to prevent any duplication
of the episode. From lack of knowl-
edge of the exact situation we are
not endeavoring to place the re-
sponsibility but responsibility some
where exists.
In the early dispatches it was
stated that Warden Fish said that
he had notified Augusta several
times that the guard room force had
been shortened and without result.
We do not know to whom his noti-
tication was sent nor why it was not
needed. Some months ago we had
an investigation at the state prison
which did not bring any startling re-
suits. We would suggest that if the
conditions at the prison are as stat
ed by the Rockland Courier Gazette.
a very reliable newspaper, there is
urgent need of further inquiry.
From the Courier Gazette we learn
that the four convicts crept upon a
single unarmed guard in the guard
room, beat him into a state of in
sensibility. took his keys from him
and let themselves out to liberty.
That prison break could be made
with such ease is extraordinary and
indicates a remarkable condition of
affairs at the state prison.
If the CourierGazette is correct
the rules of the Prison Welfare
League under which the prison is
operated must take part of the blame
for this episode which might easily
have resulted in the murder of the
guard. According to these rules the
guard was unarmed and also accord
ing to these rules the old pro-
vision providing for the sounding of
a whistle to announce to the sur
rounding country the escape of con-
victs, has been abrogated.
We can see no sense whatever in
