ANY YANKEES LEFT?

The great Middle West affords
unmistakable signs Of interest IN
the possibilities of the great mar
ket of the southern States in their
prosperity.
Are New Englanders manifestins
like interest, or has that traditional
Yankee shrewness all moved West
to build up the country leaving none
Of the like behind?
Governor Brewster is resolved
that we shall not remain IN ignor-
ance Of "the phenomenal increase"
in the purchasing power OF the
South and he advises New England
ers in his Fall River address not to
"waste time in shuddering" because
of industrial development in that
part of the country.
He speaks from out the authority
obtained from careful study OF the
conditions and we assume there is
not one Of those who accompanied
him on the southern pilgrimage
who will not endorse this conclusion.
They too, have seen the South's
need for the nonpareil seed potatoes
grown in Aroostook. for Maine ap-
pies. sweetcorn, sardines, for the
boots and shoes and machinery
made in New England.
Shippers should find 1t cheaper to
ship New England products by
water to-southern ports than Chicago
products by rail.
Like intelligence, skill. capital
and enterprise can do in other Maine
communities in other lines. what has
been done with superior products in
the town Of Sanford, which is very
much on the map of trade in this
country.
But this will not be done by
yawning, not by pickering, not by
criticizing and suggesting nothing
better: not. by ignoring advantages
not by withholding support from
those with vision and enterprise, MOI
by sitting on the sidelines and abus.
ing the umpire, not by grumbline
because asked to contribute a little
money or a little effort.
Y Down here in Maine are many
possessions to be enthusiastic about;
have we lost all capacity for en-
thusiasm? Aren't any Yankees left
in Maine?

With Apologies to Grandma

Editor Kennebec Journal:
Inc decision to work convicts on
the highway this summer Is a good
one in some respects, but to expect
taxpayers actually to pay them Tor
doing so is beyond the comprehen-
sion of honest people already labor
ing under burdensome taxation. No
other country in the world would
think of paying convicts for their
just punishment and America is
surely becoming the mecca of the
world for the criminal classes. be-
cause of the difficulty of getting
them into prison and 1.-The over
generous treatment received when
they finally are put there.
Honest people today have the
privilege of doing more work, to earn
more money. to pay more taxes to buy
more comforts and support more
criminals in more institutions. Such
is the reward of those who obey the
law, and such is the reward of the
murderer, the thief and the booze
seller, owing to the few Sob grannies
amongst us who advocate such fool
iShneSS.
It's enough to make such he-men
as Roosevelt rise in their graves
and protest. The criminal here to-
day has the surety of sufficient food
warmth, clothes, pleasure. and now
pay, which is better than is the
surety of thousands of law abiding
folk. No wonder the prisons are
full and more will be needed if this
sob stuff continues.
when the enterprising burglars not
burgling,
When the cut-throat isn't occupied
in crime,
He loves to hear the little brook
gurgling,
And listen to the merry village chime
When the drunkard's finished
jumping on his mother.
He loves to lie basking In the sun.
oh. take one consideration with an
other.
A policeman's lot is not a happy
one
Such will be the policeman's lot
If these old grannies have the handl-
Ing of the taxpayers money.
With apologies to grandma.
Faithfully yours.
