Make It a Big Republican Get-To
gether
The vaiue of getting together and
ta.kicg matters over is recognized
quite generally. Those engaged in
nisirg poultry as wei! as those de
siring to raise loar.s for various pur
pose.-. those engaged in the manu
facture of tooth-picks as well as
■hose manufacturing shoes, ail are
■ oming to clearer appreciation cf the
advantages which may be obtained
in r,e. other way than by meeting
ir.d enjoying personal exchange of
view* and getting therefrom inspir
ation and confidence and broader
perception. The need of this in mat
•er* pertaining to political welfare
is r.o* only greater but seemingly
less appreciated than it used to be.
perhaps b* tause there are not today
-.he opportunities that once existed.
There is to be such an opportunity
at Bangor. Thursday, and Repub’i
. ans in all parts c'f the State will do
well to make the most of it. and un
less all signs fail they are going to
do that very thing. Furthermore
the convention will be an important
on*, platform-making being one of
its duties. The viewpoint of those at
Washington who enjoy the advan
tages of more intimate acquaintance
with many of the actual conditions
of governmental affairs will be ably
presented. Owing to duties devolv
ing upon him Senator Hale is un
able to attend but the convention
will be presided over by Congress
man Hersey who not only is con
versant with the affairs but is amply
able to give vigorous ar.d interesting
expression of his views and Senator
Watson cf Indiana is also expected
to address the convention.
A feature cf decided interest win
be the attendance of a large num
ber of women and the address which
will be made by a woman of national
reputation. From this it is easy to
conclude that the convention will be
a large or.e and as Bangor has a rec
ord for hospitality there need be no
apprehension respecting provisions
that will be made for the care and
comfort of the guests.
Not Worrying on That Scoro
We agree with Chairman Woods
of the national American commis
sion that the “reds" will find it dif
ficult to convert the members of the
American Legion to anarchy; that
the stuff which characterizes the
membership of that order *is not of
that kind.
The members of the American
Legion may be disgusted and great
ly provoked by some of the condi
tions, and have reason to be. but
they will not be likely to invest
heavily of time or attention in mil
lenitims made by seme morbid pro
duct of old world degeneracy. They
have too clear a knowledge of those
conditions, too much respect for or
derly methods, sanitary regulations
and the fundamentals of American
well-being to get fuelled with the
verbiage of trouble breeders of the
despicable sort engaged in this work.
When the old world was in des
perate straits two years ago
these specimens of shiftlessness and
discontent weren't helping to relieve
it; on the contrary all their efforts
were hostile to those of the soldier.
He hasn't forgotten it and he won’t.
Inconsistent.
Referring to the Irish reservation
to the treaty Senator Edge next day
said:
“It is not surprising that the irreeon
c; tables smilingly favored the Irish
reservation, as they recognised that that
was the surest way to “ditch'' it for
ever. However, perhaps I am wrong—
and I hope that I am—in my interpre
tation that the passing of the Irish res
ervation was simply a political bluff,
and that those who have Insisted
through so many weary months that
they wanted to ratify the treaty are
going to vote today to do so and show
the real sincerity of their interest In
the future of the Irish. Certainly, .the
Irish will not be much impressed with
the spectacle of Senators one day adopt
ing a reservation and the same Sena
tors the next day refusing to vote for
it when it really means something. In
other words, for the reservation to be
effective tills treaty must be ratified,
and then our representative in the
league of Nations, with the power and
force of the United States back of him.
takes part in the council of the League
of Nations, committed to Irish inde
pendence."
This is of a piece with the Sen
ate’s performance in certain other
respects. The English will scarcely
be profundly impressed fcy it. In
deed whatever impressions that may
l>e made we may well wish .were less
profound. n --^ J
Th# Be*r Candidate
If Senator Gilbert M Hitchcock of
Nebraska is to make fcis fight for
the Democratic presidential nomina
tion on the platform of “light wines
and beer" he deserves to come out
in the end jast where we believe he
naturally would come out. in the one
h»it of one per cent, class. Any
wiaw who will insult the decency of
American citizenship by offering
himself as candidate for the highest
and most dignified office within the
gift of the people on the pledge that
he win giro them beer deserves the
defeat *h*A right minded citizens
would gladly accord him.
Such a candidacy not only insults
the moral sense of America but it
also becomes the entering wedge to
destroy prohibition and opposes the
constitutional decision of the people,
the decree of the Supreme Court and
the law enforcement act passed by
Congress. To make beer the issue
in a presidential campaign would be
degrading, demoralizing and devil
ish. There are so many things of
momentous importance before the
country which have been hanging by
cne nail since the cessation of the
war that need immediate and care
ful attention. The country has
waited a long time; the only mar
vel is that it could wa*t so long
without a disaster. If a man can
not or will not select a bigger ar.d
more vital issue than the matter of
beer on which to make his cam
paign, this fact prove* at once that
he Is emphatically not the man for
President. He condemns himself.
The provisions of the Volstead act
may be drastic and severe ar.d al
most impossible of enforcement, but
they are designed to do away with
the saloon. If the law accomplishes
this end it will'be worth ail the cost
cf enforcement. If the law proves
finally to be unworkable it will be
possible to supplement it with one
that is feasible. But the way to do
that is through the regular legisla
tive channels, not through the ex
alted office of the presidency.

A CONDITION THAT
CALLS FOR A TONIC
When th# health is run down from
overwork. overstudy, lack of exer
cise or from whatever cause, a rood
tonic is needed.
Sometimes what is thought to he
simple debility, is a symptom of a
more serious disorder. Perhaps that
tired feeling, weakness, repeated at
tacks of indigestion, headaches and
dizzy spells are due to anemia or to
the breaking down of the nervous
system. By taking a tonic that :s a
specific for many disorders of the
b’ood and nerves threatened inval
idism may be prevented. That is
what happened in the case of Mr.
Henry K. Day. of Portland Road,
Erunswick. Me.
“Mv blood was thin, he says, "and
I kept losing my vitality. I lost
■weight and was frequently obliged to
leave my work. My color was bad.
I had no ambition for work. I had
bilious attacks and cold chills up and
down my spine. My stomach was
affected and I was greatly constipa
ted. I was nervous also and did not
rest weJJ."
“I read of so many people who
were receiving wonderful benefit
from Dr. Williams’ Pir.k Pills that I
decided to try them. While taking
the second box I saw that they were
helping me and took eight boxes al
together. I had tried a great many
medicines before but Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills suited my case and did
me more good than all the medicines
I ever took and I can bark up this
statement for I haven't been so well
in a long time as I am now. I also
took Pinklets. the little laxative pills,
and recommend them."
Dr. Williams’ Pir.k Pills build up
the blood ar.d strengthen the nerves.
In this way the general health is im
; proved, the appetite increases, the
digestion is restored ar.d new am
bition and energy developed. Work
becomes easier because it does not
cause exhaustion.

Massachusetts Claims
• Portland Press.)
We wish it were possible for all
the people of Maine, as ’.veil as the
entire country, to iisten to the ad
dress of Judge Frank P. Pride of
Westbrook upon the part Maine has
played in the history of the United
States. He approaches this most
interesting subject from an entirely
new angle and his arguments carry
conviction' and give Maine people
additional reasons to feel proud of
their State.
Judge Pride’s contention is that
Massachusetts takes altogether too
much credit for some things which
she is credited with having done and
with a complacency and snobbish
ness inherently a part of the char
acter of many native bom residents
of Massachusetts she demands and
generally receives homage which is
not altogether h*r due.
Prior to 1520 Maine was a part of
Massachusetts and an important
part. Judge Pride has taken pains
to inquire into many of the impor
tant events with which Maine had to
do between the settlement at Ply
mouth 3<>0 years ago and the time
this State sought and obtained her
separation, and his conclusions are
that in each one of the events which
had a marked influence upon the
settlement, development and crea
tion of this republic. Maine and her
people had, in almost every instance,
a. great deal to do.
For example. It was help which
was obtained from Maine by the Pil
grim Fathers which kept the Ply
mouth colony from starvation. It
was Maine which bore the brunt of
the Indian fighting and which suf
fered the greatest hardships in the
French and Indian wars. It was
Maine soldiers, led by a Maine man.
who captured Louisburg and helped
drive the French out of Canada. In
the Revolutionary war it was Fal
mouth which suffered destruction at
the hands of the British because of!
its Independent spirit, and while no :
Maine troops participated in the ,
skirmishes at Lexington or Concord,
of which history makes a great deal,
Maine soldiers and a great many of
them were engaged at the battle at
1 Bunker Hill and helped Washington
force the evacuation of Boston.
Nor should Maine men and wom
en overlook the fact that at Valley
Forge there were more men from
Maine, who stood loyally bv the
great commander during the terrible
winter which tried the souls of the
patriots, than there were front Mas
sachusetts. and as many Maine men
at Saratoga where Burgoyne’s
army met with disaster, as there
were front Massachusetts.
The part which Massachusetts
played in the War of 1S12 is grace
fully skipped over by her historians,
but in his address Judge Pride show.-,
how this war with Great Britain
forced upon the infant Ilepublic be
cause of the way the British treated
or seamen, was bitterly opposed
and very unpopular in Massachu
setts and loyally supported in Maine.
This State ar.d its people also suf
fered in this war from invasion and
the destruction of property at the
hands of the British ar.d the defense
of Maine, which was neglected by
Massachusetts, occasioned such hard
feelings in this State that it had a
great deal to do with Maine’s desire
to be recognized as a separate State.
Judge Pride declared in his admir
able address that when this separa
tion came to be made. Massachu
setts did r.ot and never has made
fair division of her historical assets
Maine strength of character, her
money, the blood of her sons and the
courage and brains of her people
helped Massachusetts more than has
ever been admitted to gain the posi
tion she occupies before the nation.
Maine is proud cf Massachusetts*'
achievements, because her prop!-.’
helped to make them possible, but it
is time that the historians and ora
tors of Massachusetts began to show
a disposition to give to the State of
Maine her due. Wo recommend,
therefore, that as a lining feature of
the centenpial celebration of Maine
Judge Bride's address on this, sub
ject be widely distributed and
wherever possible repeated that
Maine's sons ar.d daughters may
come to understand what a splendid
and glorious history their State has.
