CHARLES W. RICHARDS
It Is nearly thirty-three years since
Charles W. Richards became a mem
ber of the Journal's news and edi
torial stafT. Previous to that he had
for a time acted as correspondent for
the Journal, taking up the work after
deriding to relinquish training for
the medical profession for newspaper
work to which he gave himself with
out stint.
That Is a long period of service in
the exacting work of making a news-'
paper, yet In all that time there was
net so much as the shadow of turn
ing. either In his love for the work
or In his Intense loyalty to the Jour
nal. He easily made friends and
kept them, and as the result of his
duties liis acquaintance was unusual
ly wide. The feeling that a pleasant
acquaintance, a good friend has gone
will be shared by many. He leaves a
record of long, painstaking work
well done and a vacant place not eas
ily filled.
He was another of those who have
unremittingly given of their best to
the Journal, whom long association
has identified with it. His was a
place which will not be filled again
In the same way. To have inspired
and received such devotion is signifi
cant and a source of gratification to
e\ery friend of the Journal.
A'JGUSTA WILL RESPOND.
Augusta is singularly favored in
many ways l>ut in none more than in
respect to tIre facilities afforded un
der the V. M. C. A. In this, as in
numerous other respects, the com
munity is indebted to the generosity
and put die spirjt of residents who de
limit in rendering assistance to our
public enterprises. These are condi
tion-. which it is v eil to Keep in mind.
V.'e ish it niiyht be possible for ev
ery citizen to read the Journal's ac
count of the dedication of our magni
ficent "V." building Sept. 26, 1314.
That beautiful structure and the
svoi'.hy enterprise it housed then be
came Augusta's to enjoy and from
which to profit. It belongs to Augus
ts is hers, but like all possessions
ne-Us at • r.tion. That is something
w hich may r.ot be av oided if we
would, and really, who would avoid
it? It is a privilege to have ready at
hand such a splendid opportunity to
develop inviting possibilities, to pro
vide ways and means for realizing the
promises of great advantages which
may be Augusta's for the taking.
Much and very beneficial work has
been done there for our youth. Much
more may be accomplished in this
way If v c but will have it so. The
privileges there afforded for rom
mi nlty efforts, for use as a civic
center, are unusual. Some advantage
has been taken of this feature of op
portunity. but not enough. Shall we
not take more? But one may not long
take without giving. We were so cre
ated. Recognizing this, it follows we
should make the best of it. And that
best is full of promise, teeming with
possibilities, and we are able to give
that which is required.
Surely there Is no one at all
acqi/aintod with the Augusta people
who will for an instant suppose they
will not respond loyally to the need.
ACCOMPANISTS NOT PROPERLY
RECOGNIZED
Tiano accompanists are not prop
erly recognized at recitals says a
Poston newspaper, and so says a
Philadelphia magazine. And Isn’t It
true that any celebrated soloist or
violinist would prefer not to appear
on the stage at all, than to sing or
play before an audience with an In
ferior accompanist? Many novices
ewe their successful debut to the one
playing the accompaniment. The ac
companist who helps a prima donna
or a violinist often has to play mu
sic that never was intended for the
piano by the original composer.
At a concert of the Beethoven As
sociation In New Tork recently the
soloist and accompanist who rendered
songs of the modern German school
were classed as artists of equal rank
and at the closo of each selection
bowed as "artista ensemble.”
A couple of botanists from Har
vard University were once trying to
get a tare Alpine flower that grew on
an impassable section of a cliff far
below them. It was decided that the
plait could be obtained only by low
ering a small boy in a basket at
tached lo a rope. The small boy was
found n a near-by shepherd's cot
tage. The rope and basket were like
*iee procured and when they were
ready tc lower the basket, one of the
men saul to the child who hesitated,
“What: aren't you going down?"
"Yea," replied the boy—"if my
futlier holds the rope.”
PARALYZED
---7*
appear before the public with some
body who is going to make “a mess”
of things in the musical background.
America is said to have produced the
best accompanists of any country in
1he world. Certainly these artists
should not be ‘'backward in coming
forward,” nor should the public con
tinue longer in refusing them just
recognition.
Fortunately prohibition emptied
the prisons if we are to have such
round-ups of criminals as was made
; in Chicago last week.
SELFISHNESS PROVED NOT EEN- ]
EFICIAL
The America-Japan Society gave a
dinner, Thursday, at Tokio to the
Japanese delegates to the \\ asliing
ton Conference, on which occasion the
American ambassador, Mr. V. arren,
happily expressed a thought which
should receive more attention, not
only in Japan but in all parts of the j
earth. Indeed, until it docs receive ;
more consideration, until methods are j
made to conform to flic ‘"live and let j
live" principle, it will be as idle to j
suppose there will be no more war as
to suppose snowballing v ill become a .
part of Fourth of July celebrations on
tho Equator.
"The pressing insistence of govern -
mer.ts upon selfish interests of their
nationals has not always proved to be
the most beneficial policy. Reasonable
nationalism surely ought to compre
hend that sovereign states should be
friendly equals in the peaceful rivalry
of expanding commerce.” Whether in
saying this lie had in mind the in
famous demands which Japan made
upon China when it was thought she
had the power to insist, the rest of
the world being too busy with war,
may only be inferred but it is more
than likely the incident was in the
minds of some of those present.
All is fair in love or war—or busi
ness—hasn’t worked well in practise.
Of course there are those in every
community envious of the one who
has accumulated a generous supply
of the world's goods by "over-reach
ing,” but this rather reveals the weak
ness of the envious than any really
enviable condition which the over
rcacher actually cr 'oys. And there is
no more reprehensible form of over
reaching than that of appealing to
racial differences to secure personal
advantage, alluded to by Ambassador
Warren, and it is not impossible that
he or some of those present were
thinking of certain instigators in this
country of hostility to Japan.
ANOTHER “WELL DONE’’
The new Salvation Army chapel
and officers’ quarters on Winthrop
street is a credit to that organiza
tion, substantial evidence of worthy
work accomplished by the Army in
the Augusta District and a pledge
for its continuance, a testimonial to
“well done.”
Faithful servants of the cause
have been the leaders assigned to
the Army’s endeavors in this district !
and this community will rejoice with
them in the improved facilities now
afforded for the better performance
of their duties.
Meteors like that which recently
hit Virginia are more menacing than
monkey wrenches dropping from
airplanes.

The Now Cloth
A woman entered a dry goods store,
"I'll have four yards.” raid s;lie
"Of the cloth you advertise today,
It's as pretty as it can bo.”
"The very latest thing in vogue,
The fashion notes all toll."
Said the clerk, while the woman mur
mured low,
"I hope it will wear me well."
The dress was kept with a scrupulous
care.
As only a woman may know.
Hut try as she. would to keep it fine,
The wearing began to show:
The woman looked at the dainty dress
She had fashioned with loving care.
And knew she had bought for style j
and looks
And not the kind that would wear. I
And so it is in our lives each day,
it isn't our outer shells.
It isn't our looks or what we say.
Hut—how do we wear.—that tells.

atrocious murders committed by Jesse ]
Pomeroy, then only 14 years of age.
The item expresses the hope that
young Pomeroy should never again
have a moment's liberty. A recent ar
ticle in a Boston paper calls Pomeroy
"Xew England's champion criminal”
and mentions the fae^ that years cf
solitary confinement failed to change
his criminal mind.

New England Crops
Report on May 12
tVakefield, Mass., May 13—Up to
May 1 advance of the season end 1
progress of farm work and planting
was cold and dry the latter part but
were close to the average. April
b< a'O, general rains came early in
May except in northern Maine
"Inch section reports late season
and planting unlikely until after
May 15. Low condition of Vermont
meadows due to long drought It31
and to retent frosts which, also,
have prevented growth of pastures
generally. Acreage of hay is prob- |
ably not far from that of last year, j
the same new seeded land is report- j
od killed by drought last year.
Losses the past year in horses !
from disease about the average
number—around 13 per 1000. Losses
in cattle, also, have been small from
disease, but somewhat larger losses
horn scant supply of feeds have re
sulted, and cattle were forced out
into pastures prematurely this
spring. Losses in sheep from dis
ease no more than usual, but a
few more have died from exposure
and lack of feeds. Swine have been
comparatively free from disease and
losses a little below usual.
All live stock In Maine New
Hampshire, and Vermont, reported a i
little below average in condition. •
Short hay crop last year and poor
pastures forced farmers to pasture
their meadows too closely in the
turning out of stock this spring will
fall; and it is feared that premature
damage pastures.

Obey the Law
(N. Y. Times)
Bishop Manning's remarks about
prohibition are doubly effective be
cause he lias never been a prohibi
tionist and has no personal or moral
objection to moderate drinking. Yet
fee believes from information coming
to him "from many trustworthy
sources that prohibition is already
resulting in improved conditions,
both morally and practically, in the
lives and homes of our people;^ and
he believes, partly from "observation
in the army, that prohibition proper
ly enforced will make us a healthier,
stronger and better people.” With
these opinions many disagree. But
there can be only one opinion of the
Bishop's assertion of the supremacy
of law and the duty of every citizen
to obey it:
Prohibition is now the law of our
land. Those who disapprove this law
have the right to do so and to work
in lawful ways for its repeal. But
no citizen has the right to evade or
disobey this law, and no one of us
can do this without grave harm to
himself and to the life of our coun
try.
“It is asserted,” continued the
Bishop—and the assertion is true—
"that this law is widely disregarded,
and especially by those whose wealth
and position in the community give
them greatest influence. To what
ever extent this is true, it is a mat
ter of'the utmost seriousness and of
deepest concern." It is to be hoped
that the Bishop's admonition will be
pondered by those immaculately re
spectable persons who regard the
breaking of the prohibition laws as
the most delightful of jokes. The
lootlegger is hunted, prosecuted, im
prisoned, sometimes shot. His client,
customer, accomplice, without whom
he couldn't do business, reeks with
respectability: may even exhale the
odor of sanctity. My brethren, these
things ought not so to be.

There was a large attendance at the
annual prize speaking contest o£ the
sophomores of Belfast High school
held in the Armory Friday night when
$-0 in gold, the gift of the City Na
tional Bank, was divided into six
prizes. There were 12 contestants
chosen from a class of 50. the prelim-;
inarics taking place a week ago at the
high school building. Owing to an
accident while playing ball a few days
ago, Donald Horne, who was to have
read Kipling's "If," was unable to take
part as lie is confined to his home with
a broken leg. The program:
Singing, "Onward Christian Sol
diers;” "How He Saved Sain Machaels"
Adelaide Howard; "Toussaint 1 Ouver
lure," Romona Leadbetter; "Anthony's
Funeral Oration," Thomas Shea AVads- I
worth; "Changing Color," Augusta
Nickerson; "Lincoln's Gettysburg Ad
dress,” Edward AVarren; piano duet,
"The Soldiers' Chorus” from "Faust,"
Uliss Alice Bobbins and Ermo Scott;
"The Fireman,” Dorothy Clark; "The
Skeleton in Armor,” Joseph Nicherson;
"The Little White Hearse,” Kitty San
som; vocal solo, "Just You,” Idres
Rogers; "Citizenship/ (Hon. William
P. Frye) Mark Shibles; "The Girl I
Left Behind Me," AVilda Savery; "The
Message to Garcia," (Elbert Hubbard)
Charles Trundy; singing. “America.”
The judges. Rev. A\'. F. Skerrye, Mrs. ]
James C. Durham and AVill Russell !
Howard, found it exceedingly hard to !
award the prizes for each student had ;
many good points to commend. The I
points on which the contestants were
marked were voice, articulation, ges
tures, memory and general effect. The
prizes were awarded as follows: Girls
—Miss Dorothy Clark, first; Miss Au
gusta Nickerson, second; Miss Ade
laide Howard, third. Boys—Mark
Shibles, first; Edward AVarren, second;
Charles Trundy, third.
Every number was exceptionally
well rendered and liberally applauded.
In the minds of many Miss Kitty San
som and Thomas Shea AVadsworth
should receive honorable mention for
their excellent work, and one and all j
they did themselves honor. This prize '
speaking is a part of the sopromore
work, is compulsory and is a hard task
for many of the boys and girls, who
at this time make their first public ap
pearance. It prepares them for their
junior and senior work, however, and
by commencement time they are much |
less embarrassed when facing an audi
ence from the platform.
Meets With Accident at Play
James Morse, the little son of Mr.
and Mrs. A. H. Morse, a pupil of the •
second grade, Peirce school, met with
a very painful accident and narrowly
escaped death while at play on the
school grounds Friday forenoon. An
older boy was playing ball and just as
he swung at batstick over his head
the bell rang and little James, rising
from the ground where he was play
ing. received the full force of the blow.
It cut his face badly and at first it
was feared that bones were broken.
Had the blow struck a bit higher it
would undoubtedly have killed him.
Little Frances Thomas, who was run
over by an automobile some time ago,
is able to return to school at the 1
Peirce building. .
The tree to be planted by the class !
of 19:12 during Commencement week j
will be in honor and memory of Charles 1
F. Swift, whose will contained a lib- j
oral beque t which will be applied to I
the building fund for the new high
school.
