INDIA WILL DESERVE TRIBUTE

India will deserve the tributes of
mankind If she carries out the plan
she has announced. This in brief Is,
beginning next year, to curtail an
ually ten per cent of her export of
opium, thus extinguishipg the ex-
port at the end Of ten years. The
sale Of opium at public auction IN
Calcutta has been ended
If India sees this plan through she
will sacrifice enormously of revenue,
have tolerated If not tacitly en-
couraged, for the sake of revenue,
the enslavement of civilization by
the most terrible drug against which
it ever has struggled. We hope
India will be able to carry on. We
hope that In doing so she will find
ample revenue to replace that which
she risks to lose. One recalls the
dire predictions which were made Of
the financial loss this country would
undergo by reason of prohibition.
Those predictions not only have
failed of fulilment but better
revenues have been obtained from
the enterprises that replaced the
distillery, the brewery and the corner
caloon.
Some day 1t may dawn upon US
that those who would profit from
depraving their fellows are extreme
> ~ short sighted.

The Crime Wave
Is Receding?

Portland, June 14-Speaking BET
fore the Ministers Union of Cum
berland county this morning, Gov.
Brewster said:
The crime wave so far as Maine
is concerned seems definitely check
ed. The number of criminal offences
reported by County Attorneys to the
office of the Attorney General has
been showing a constant annual in
crease. The tide seems now to have
begun to recede. Last year for the
first time in five years a decrease
from the number reported in pre-
ceding years was shown.
"The Board of Prison Commits
sioners estimate that on July first
this year the number of inmates at
the States Prison will show a de-
crease of twenty-five percent under
the number shown year ago. This
is a most gratifying indication of
the dawn of better day.
ITO what extend this is due to the
swift and certain punishment for
crime cannot he told but it is a tri-
butte to the quality of Names
citizens to know That for the past
year our number of homicides was
one fifth the national average with
practically 1000 convictions as COM
pared with the average in the coun-
try of one conviction out of ten.
Ten thousands homicides in the
country are a terrible indictment of
our national carelessness of life. 1t
will be most interesting and valua-
BILE to observe to what extent the
swift and certain punishment that
we now seem able to guarantee will
prove in increasing measure deter
rant of the crimes of violence that
have run riot in recent years. The
State Police seem likely. to prove a
tremendously valuable auxiliary to
the Sheriffs and police in the several
sections of our State.
Last fall our country sections
were practically free from the series
of crimes which had troubled the
State each fall for several years,
This was coincident with the broad
ening of the powers of the State
Police and was also coincident with
the worst experiences that Massa-
chusetts has ever known in this
regard.

THE MODERN JUeeERNAUT

1t begins to look as though we
are to have little Of time to give to
consideration Of the unfortunates,
who in past ages were crushed be-
meath the wheels of the juggernaut.
In this beautiful land of ours there
were 22,500 people killed by automo-
biles last year and around thirty In
jured for every one killed.
There is a ray of hope to be found
from the data; the school children
because of instructions in safety,
suffered less than adults. although
$500 under fifteen years of age were
killed, an increase of three per cent
over the previous year. Cities,
where there have been well-directed
crusades for safety, reveal an i'm
provement, showing that the evil is
susceptible to methods of control.

SHALL WE SUSTAIN THE
OBLIGATION

The Filipino politicians, striving to
wrest from the hands of the United
States all share in the management
OF Philippine affairs, are protesting
against the Kiess bill now before
Congress. The reason for this is not
far to seek; 1t interferes with their
plan to deprive the governor gen.
eral of all his power.
Our Government could not permit
that to be done so long as it as
sumed to have a governor general
and exercise supervision over those
islands. If ever there is to be les
SEEMING of the authority it best be by
way of retirement altogether, leav-
ing the islands to their fate. which
probably would not be long in shap-
ing contrary to the wishes of those
self-styled patriots, who desire to
run the affairs in their own inter-
ests.
The Kiess bill would hold in our
treasury the money which our i'm
porters pay in customs on goods i'm
ported from the Philippines. with
the provision that it might only be
disbursed by the governor general
instead Of as is now being done, by
it IL money paid in by Americans
and does not come from taxes on the
F1lipinos. They, however. wish to
keep the financial whip hand over
the governor general, allowing so
little in the way of funds as to in
capacitate his administration.
There are many Americans. who,
once convinced that the Filipinos
could be trusted to take over and
manage the Philippine affairs in
fairness to the people concerned,
would favor linquis h ing all
power to them. AS it, is. well-in-
formed observers of events in those
islands perceive that the agitators
are expressing the real desire of but
few, that grants Of power which they
have received have not been properly
used; that Aguinaldo. himself. who
certainly merits consideration by
reason of his gallant struggle
against us. Is convinced that the
present arrangement is the better.
The Filipino legislature will not
grant to the governor general funds
with which he would employ the
assistance, which he thinks he needs.
He Is compelled to depend on army
officers for the performance of
duties, which should be performed by
civilians. Less than four percent "
the servants Of the Philippine Gov
eminent are Americans; the cabinet
Is composed entirely of Filipinos.
We have not fastened on the backs
OF those people an army of bureau
Gratis; they have received every con-
sideration compatible with the obli-
cations we yet retain toward the
Philippines. In some way revenue
for sustaining this situation must
be found while we continue under
those obligations. The Kiess bill
provides way.

Instant Relief From
Bunions --Soit Corns

No sensible person will continue to
suffer from those intense, agonizing.
throbbing bunion pains when the new
powerful penetrating. yet harmless
antiseptic Emerald Oil can readily. be
obtained at any well stocked drug
store.
Apply a few drops over the IN
famed swollen joint and see how
speedily the pain disappears. A few
more applications and the swollen
joint Is reduced to normal.
So marvelously powerful is Emer-
aid Oil that soft corns seem to shrivel
right up and drop off.
All druggists guarantee 1t and are
dispensing it to many foot sufferers.

Now, let me see. What happened
in the last story? Oh, yes, now
remember Catbird and Little Jack
Rabbit were holding conversation.
And the little bunny had learned a
lot about catbirds. Yes, indeedy,
and so have you, my small readers.
I hope you will remember some of
their habits.
Well, anyway. the little rabbit
soon said goodby to his feathered
friend and with a hop-tee-idy, over
the Old Stone Fence he hoped,
landing right amidst a covey of
quail made up of mother bird and
her brood. So startled was she that
clap Of thunder, followed by her
young ones. But, goodness me!
they could fly but a short distance,
for as yet they hardly had grown
their pin feathers, and soon settled
to earth to scurry away among the
tall grass. So quickly did they hide,
like brown leaves blown hither and
hither by Billy Breeze, that the lit
tie bunny scarcely saw them dis
appear. although his keen eyes did
notice one tiny bird hide beneath
clump of grass.
Don't be afraid / won't hurt
you," promised the bunny boy, look
ing quietly at the frightened little
chick, whose bright eyes shown from
little head on top of a ball of
down.
The next minute back from some
where came the mother bird. acting
in such a queer manner that the
little rabbits eyes opened with Won
der. Indeed, she almost seemed to
be dancing, so strangely did she
walk. her head up, her feathers all
a-fiutter, her eyes blazing with ex-
element and her wings half spread.
Don't you touch my down baby"
she cried, and before the little rabbit
could give her a reassuring promise,
she gave a strange. sudden call, and
as If by magic they disappeared.
Dear. Oh dear" sighed the bunny
boy. Il wouldn't have hurt Mrs.
Quail's baby for anything"
"Of course you wouldn't" all of
sudden cried a voice. and there on a
tree nearby sat Professor Jim Grow,
with his Wisdom Book under his
wing and a pair Of spectacles on his
beak.

Duty To Enroll

To the Editor:
There have been appeals in the
papers recently to the women voters
to enroll in their parties and to vote
in the primaries. An estimate made
by the Portland League of Women
Voters showed that only about $3.50
of the qualified women voters of the
city are enrolled and undoubtedly
many that are enrolled do not take
the trouble to vote. This Is de-
plorable situation and one that the
League of Women Voters hopes to
change, but it must be recognized
that women are not the sole Of
tenders in this respect. No larger a
percentage Of the qualified voters of
the state went to the polls at the
last primary election, SO that large
numbers of men must have failed to
do their duty. The League of Wo-
men Voters is pledged to work to
get out the vote and it's appeal is to
men as well as women.
l have been re-reading lately John
Fiske's American Revolution and
am more and more deeply impressed
by the tremendous sacrifices made
by the founders of this government
and by their devotion to the cause of
political liberty. When reading this
thrilling history of those early days
l could not help thinking, how can a
citizen of this great Republic so far
forget his obligations to its founders
as to neglect the simple duty of
casting vote to carry on its affairs.
The indifference of many people to
their political obligations is recog-
nized as a menace to our free instl
tutions which must be overcome if
those institutions are to be pre-
served.
Ours Is a government for the peo-
pie but 1t is not yet a government of
and by the people, and will not be so
long as those qualified to vote fail
to go to the polls on election 6aA

Why Mrs. Quail acted and looked so
queer"
and turning over the pages with the
tip of his right wing, the old bird
read aloud:
"a mother Quail often pretends she
is hurt
In order attention to quickly divert;
She'll limp on one leg, or drag down
one wing,
And make you believe she's a poor
injured thing.
And while she is making this pitiful
show
To shelter her little ones hasten to
