HOW ABOUT THE LIMIT?

Now the Democrats are DESTROYS
of investigating campaign expenses
In the State of Illinois. AS yet we
have heard no complaints from
them respecting conditions in Texas
or Louisiana, for instance. OF
course II the charges are true they
deserve investigation, although there
is little to support a hope that such
an investigation would amount to
anything.
Evidently desiring to have hand
in the agitation over costly senator
ial primaries Senator LaFollette Is
to push a resolution to disqualify
any Senator in whose behalf more
than $4,000 is expended.
We wish a way might be found to
make it possible for a person Of
moderate means to be a candidate
for the U. S. Senate without de-
pending on rich friends. But how
that may be satisfactorily done
under the direct primary we are
and a half million voters limit of
ten cents per voter would not get
much for one comparatively I'M
known to the public. A Senator
seeking reelection could depend on
the Congressional Record to cam
paign for him, could depend on
Uncle Sam to circulate it for him.
His opponent would be at a serious
disadvantage.

DON'T GIVE WRONG IMPRESSION

We would acknowledge receipt Of
suggestion from the New England
Council, with special attention CALI
ed to the need of newspapers
preaching individual and community
courtesy to the summer tourists.
We have not happe9ed to come
in contact with discourtesy on the
part Of Maine people. Presumably
there are isolated instances of it;
presumably also attention should be
called to the advantages to be had
from courtesy. There is no question
about the discourteous having to
pay a high price for indulging In
that attitude.
1t would not be surprising If some
tourists accustomed to the welcome
extended to them in California or
Florida might infer that Names
attitude is one Of Indifference. Such
mistake. however, would be to
Names disadvantage and we should
avoid it. AS rule a genial greeting
and expression of helpfulness elicits
a response in kind and relations are
established that should prove bene-
fetal all around.
1t would be well for Maineites to
remember that our reserve may
easily be mistaken for indifference
and consequently we should make
special effort to avoid giving such an
impression. We don't have to be
'glad-handers" nor bally- hooers but
we should be sure to convince the
stranger within our gates that we
are glad he is here, that we really
want to do what we may to con-
tribute to his enjoyment and help
him to get his moneys worth.
If every citizen resolves to do
this; If municipal traffic directors
keep in mind the need of the
stranger for information ana make
sure he receives 1t; If we would
see that our highways are plainly
marked, that detours are kept in
excellent condition, that, sanitary
conditions at tourist camps are
insisted upon, we will be doing for
Maine that which every successful
enterprise that comes into touch
with the public strives to have done
We should at least do that much for
| this good State of ours, and in
directly we will be rendering a SER
vice TO ourselves
Let not our guests go away under
the impression that we are dis
courteous, Indifferent, or otherwise
than very proud indeed of what
| Maine has to offer
