EQUALITY BETWEEN THE
SEXES

Absolute industrial equality be-
tween the sexes is argued before the
Industrial Commission by rep
resentativeS of the Womens party.
They would have women, who do
the same work as men, receive the
same pay, and in order to be logical
they would have her receive no more
of consideration than We're she a
man.
This is contrary to the conclusions
of our lawmakers in the past. Nor
We're they assuming to be chivalrous
in taking that attitude; they We're
mothers of the race their health be-
ing a matter of public concern great
er than exists with regard to the
potential fathers. This has been
the trend in protective legislation il
civilized countries.
Those opposed would urge that
this distinction is not necessary.
They might support their theory By
citing the dfudgefy imposed on Wo-
man by our Indians without ap-
parent injury TO succeeding genera
lions. However, in its influence on
health there Is really no comparison
between that drudgery and the
strain occasioned by modern indus
trial conditions. We will be well
advised not to discard sane reguIa-
tions to which we have become ac-
customed until we may be certain
respecting the effects of the propos
ed change.

A HELPFUL ADDRESS

The intimate relation existing be-
tween law and liberty was empha-
sized in the address before the Ma
tional Grange of its worthy master,
L. J. Taber 1T cannot be too often
emphasized" he said, that the boot
logger and dope peddler are enemies
of society ANY man or woman
who patronizes them is copartner in
their guilt. These groups operate
under cover: they carry gun, and
history from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific proves that they shoot upon the
first opportunity. They are potential
murdefers and their patrons can but
have blood upon their own hands"
Mr.. Taber has recently returned
from abroad where he had oppor-
tunity to. study agricultural condi-
tons existing there in eight differ
ent countries. One must live for a
time, under foreign flag, he insists,
before he may fully comprehend the
blessings existing under our, own.
1.-The hunger for land, the hunger
for food, the racia, and religious in
tolerance, the commercial rivalry.
and the pangs Of military discipline
when once engraved upon the men,
DRY by actual contact, give a new
significance to the dangers and
| troubles Of the Oh world. and a
greater appreciation of the oppor-
! tunities OF the new. We can under
stand the motives that drove our an
! cestors from home. country and fire
side; gave them the fortitude and
| courage to conquer a new land in
order that here they might enjoy the
! things denied across the seas"
! OF all the farmers he saw in his
,. travels through Europe he found
those of Denmark enjoying the best
! standards Of living and the most
loyal to their farm organizations
that have proved very helpful to
| them. In this respect of loyalty to
his organizations he thinks the
| American farmer may learn some
thing to his advantage from the
| farmers of Denmark. All in all the
address carries conviction that the
farmers in this country stand for
observance of law, are not seeking
revolution in this quest for relief
but are yet amenable to sane pro-
cesses of thinking

Editors Letter Box
Relative to Cider

~ SIbCi
Waterville, Me-, Nov. $40
Editor journal:
Will you please tell us farmers
through the Kennebec Journal how
much cider we have a right to put
in our cellar for social purposes and
to make vinegar and still be within
the law.
A SUBSCRIBER.
In reply to the above query we
have obtained the following infor-
nation respecting the laws of this
State:
Chapter 127 Of the Revised
Statutes does not apply to cider eX-
cept as specified in Sec. IS. which
reads as follows: This chapter
does not apply to the sale of UNI
adulterated cider. unless the same is
sold to be used as a beverage or for
tipping purposes"
Under this provision sweet cider
cannot be sold as beverage.
Section II, which enumerates a
list of intoXicants, Also includes
cider when kept or deposited with
intent to sell the same for tipping
purposes or as a beverage" When
so Kept and deposited it is de
clared Intoxicating within the mean
ing -'of this chapter.
1t has moreover. been decided by
the Law Court in this state, that
sweet Intoxicating cider, sold
as a beverage comes within the
statutory definition of Intoxicating
liquor.
otherwise than as above specified
there appears to be no limit to the
quantity OF cider d farmer may
store in his cellar.
Just what is in the mind Of the
writer by the use of the phrase
social purposes" it is difficult to
define. but in negative way it may
be said, that the only inhibition to
the use of cider is specified in the
foregoing citations from the statute,
There is no limitation upon the
quantity of cider that may be used
for the making of vinegar
The foregoing provisions OF the
statute We're amended in 1925 by say
ing that they do not apply ito cider
which has been so treated as to
prevent fermentation. and which
does not contain one half of one
percent of alcohol by volume"

COME ACROSS, BOYS, LIKE
GOOD FELLOWS

Has anyone around Augusta seen
q coy cannon ball nesting away
from the sight Of man? If so one
may help restore the pyramid Of
cannon balls at the Park to its
former pleasing symmetry.
That missing cannon ball is one
OF the objects that presumably con-
tributed to the delight Of the Hal
lowe'en night marauders. If so, 1t
has given of It's share, and having
fulfilled that little mission, should be
restored to its former place.
He is an inept humorist, who
dwells on Joke after the laugh has
died away in the distance. Be good
sports. boys, and bring back the
cannon ball. Otherwise it will not
be there for next years marauders,
The lack OF 1t will be reminder that
somebody isn't good sport and the
situation will be unpleasant all
Around.

Yes. sir, since we left them on the

"Why do fishes have scales" all Of a

"It is because they need smooth
covering in order to get along easily
in the water" answered the wise old
crow "A covering which is rough, or
which would soak I'm water. would
be bad for them"

Because water is always trying to
be level. That is why the Bubbling
Brook runs to the Ocean, answered
the old crow THE sea is lower than
the land. Water runs easily because
il is made up of exceedingly fine balls.
These balls are so round and smooth
that they move among each other very
easily. This is the reason that water
runs so readily, and so soon becomes
level when nothing is disturbing it..
If the little balls, or particles, were
not so smooth they could rub each
other. They would not roll over each
other so freely as they do
1T think Billy Breeze makes the
water run sometimes" laughed the
little rabbit.
ITO be sure he does" answered the
old crow. water moves so easily that
it is almost always in motion. 1t is
moved by the wind, and is raised by
it sometimes into very high waves 1t
runs swiftly In brooks and rivers.
But water that is level will not run;
it will be still Like a quiet pond, for

ARMISTlCE DAY

The way 1t reads in the encyc-
lopaedia: Nov. II, 191s.-The great
est war in history ends at A. NJ.
Paris time (midnight Washington
time), with the signing of an ar
mistice between Germany on the one
hand and the Allies and the United
States on the other. Hostilities
cease six hours later.
Eight years ago. Much water has
since run under the bridge, some of
1t dirty water, as Is the way Of the
world, and should give pause to con-
fdence In asserting that we have
seen the last Of war. But when 1t
comes. The last was the greatest
in all history. Since then science
has revealed new methods the full
import Of which one cannot grasp.
Some OF these doubtless will prove
as Intellectual as hose which TWEEN
ty-flve years ago learned men pre-
dicted would make war impossible
prediction that failed when war
came. Man burrowed like rats In
the ground tunnelled and befouled,
and pomp of war was besmeared.
Strange that q war three thousand
miles away should reach back into
more American homes than were
ever reached by war before, the
American Army reaching a total
strength OF 3,764s77 men of whom
100000 were sent overseas. Thou
sands upon thousands of American
youth. who otherwise would never
have Jared forth into countries, who
never would have scanned the for
sign news with intelligent interest
but for the war, are better citizens
by reason of the experience. There
are others shattered in mind or
body; some are poorer citizens with
less of regard for human life. Any
how 1t was tremendous price to
pay for enlightenment
And speaking of enlightenment,
what use are we making as a people
from the lessons of the war? Are
We drifting into conditions out of
which in event of another war, we
would send millions of our untrain-
ed youth to fight with weapons the
use of which they never had oppor-
tunity to learn? The next war, il
It comes-and the millennium seems
yet far distant-is likely to come
suddenly. The last war hung like a
threatening cloud over this land for
three years. Notwithstanding which
We sent our youth unprepared and
unable to resist slaughter. We seem
to be slipping back into the same
Indifference. We laugh at the os-
trich, which, finding the prospect
disagreeable. buries it's head in the
sand; but why laugh at the ostrich
The poor bird is not endowed with
the intelligence granted to man
The laugh is ON the man who ini-
tates the ostrich. This man, who
should have learned by this time
that war may neither be avoided by
hiding ones head or shutting the
eyes, to actualities, nor by trying
to build the most powerful arma-
ment. Inc only way by winch war
may even be deferred is by remov-
ing the causes Of war. Foresight,
intelligent conscientiously directed
effort can help. The Golden Rule
applied to international as well as
community affairs, is imperative.
Until this may be generally done
neglect of contingencies, failure to
recognize the threat inherent in la
tional selfishness resemble the folly
OF living in the cyclone belt with
out preparing a cyclone cellar for
refuge.
