Eddie Roundy gave very efficient
exhibition of officiating in the Morse:
Cony game Friday night at Augusta
city hall. Both teams played hard.
both teams moved at a fast pace. the
crowd that turned out went nearly
wild with excitement at the speed of
the game yet Roundy kept them
moving without slowing up the game
by useless fouling and was always
on the lookout to see that no rough
stuff crept into the contest.

The game was rough IN spots. a
fact that no one will deny. but the
visitors have no one to blame for
that. The Morse team was speedy;
its attack is based on speed and
speed has been developed to such an
extent that some of the Bath players
when once moving in high gear,s find
it difficult to stop and alter their
course quickly enough to avoid q. COL
lision with an opponent. The Bath
team could not rightfully be accused
Of deliberate fouling because there is
no doubt that they play the game
with the best intentions of making it
fast and clean. The Morse outfit is
big rangy team and when a lcol-
lision took place between one of them
and Cony man, the Cony manswa

In reply. Governor Brewster
wrote Governor Pothier as follows:
my dear Governor Pothier:
Regarding your letter of Decem-
Der eight proposing concerted state
action to prevent further Federal
encroachment 1t has been my belief
up to this time that our Senators and
Congressmen were the proper ones TO
| represent US in action of this sort
and that the activity of state ofnclals
outside their hitherto recognized
] bounds would be calculated to lead 10
, confusion of the issues that are at
1 stake.
'"The conference Of Governors was
originally called by President Roose-
welt to discuss primarily State affairs
and in large measure in recent years
! it has confined itself to this province
! and this seems to me to be most wise.
I ut SENS to me that there is clear
distinction between interchange or
! information as to governmental PROB :
| lens with view to stressing the
character of the service that the sew
eral states can perform and any sug-
gestions looking to the creation or an
unofficial body of advisers or the
Federal Government where we are
already represented along constitu-
| tional lines.
/ This is not to be taken as an in
dication Of any lack of concern by
| the state of Maine as to retaining the
maximum of local self government
consistent with the welfare of our
people as a whole or any failure to
appreciate some of the dangers Of
] Capitalization of powers which have
been threatening our ration in recent
years. 1t is rather question of the
/ most practicable way to secure the
! object upon which we are all agreed.
! The extension of the activities of
State officials outside their hitherto
recognized bounds seem to me call
culated to Increase rather than dim
inish the very peril that we fear by
accentuating the viewpoint that the
Federal Government is an entity
apart rather than composed simply
of the representatives CT the several
quasi sovereign States.
Our Senators apd Congressman 1t
seems to me should properly and
wisely be recognized as the repre-
5entatives of the States and upon
them should rest the burden of hold
ing to the minimum the functions of
our Federal form. Any tendency to
remove from them this responsibility
is an injustice to their constitutional
position and will inevitably tend to
accentuate the capitalization of
jealousies between Washington and
