PRIMARY FORETELLS ELECTION
Owing to the late closing of the
polls the results in detail of the State
primary, yesterday, neecs-urily are
coming in slowly. At this time of
writing the returns indicate the en
dorsement of Senator Hale and Gov
ernor Baxter by decisive majorities.
The vote while light was fully as
large as most expected under the un
favorable condition of the weather,
and is not indicative of any unusual
lack of interest.
Enough is now Teamed to bring
gratifying assurance to the Republi
cans of Maine.
The .contests developed no appre
ciable bitterness and there has been
a noticeable absence of personalties
connected with this primary. There
Is furthermore manifested a i mposi
tion on the part of the voters to en
dorse both th> National and the State
administrations, an appreciation of
what the voters believe to have been
honest, earnest efforts on the part of
< ur representatives in Congress and
our State admin; ‘ration to give their
constituents the best within their
*
power to give. And in passing all
should experience some satisfaction
in this evidence of stability in a time
of general unrest.
Maine in the primary has shown
no desire to swap horses in crossing
the strearrv What better assurance
short of the actual fact may be asked
that she will do likewise in Septem
b' ]• ?
These features will he taken into
consideration in connection with the
voting of the women in this the
first State primary in which they
have presented candidates in some
parts of the State for various offices,
with what result, however, it is too
early to determine. It is evident
that the women of Maine are inclined
to normalcy in arriving at their con
clusions.
Whatever later returns may bring
one may fairly conclude that the
rtf publicans of Maine have every en
couragement to enter the State cam
paign with zeal and united purpose.
Neither is there cause for any fore
bodings respecting the result of the
September election. On the contrary
the primar;, unmistakably signifies
Maine's continued aliigiance to the
principles for which the Republican
party stands in State and nation.
A MENACING THREAT
If one may judge from announce
ments inspired by the labor leaders,
the railway employes are eager to
strike in connection with the coal min
ers. The fact the coal production is
inadequate for the needs of the pub
lic, furthermore that unless soon set
tled transportation facilities handled
with the utmost efficiency might
prove inadequate for proper distribu
tion of fuel, these facts apparently,
have weight with railroad workers.
Here is a menacing club to hold
over tHo heads of tlie public to extort
concession.
How does the public like it and has
the. public anything to say about it?
Supposing in turn the public,
threatened with freezing in the homes
and places of business, supposing the
heads of tlie enterprises dependent on
a supply of fuel should all combine to
prevent the distribution of both fuel
and food to the homes of the strikers
would that he more unjust than the
combine which the labor leaders now
piopose? If so in what way?
Those who declar the wage reduc
tions have hern unjust have this very
important tact confronting them1 six
or the nine members of the hoard have
favored those reductions after long
consideration of the question. Of
xncse six, three were chosen as rep
It sent ins the public and they have
been unanimous in favor of the re
ductions, The three representing la
bor have been opposed, the only mem
bers of the hoard that were opposed.
In other words the members of the
hoard supposed to represent the pub
lic's interest instead of the interest of
the railroads on the one hand or of
the railway workers on the other have
been uniformly in favor of reduction
of wages. In the seven years and a
half from Jan. 1914 to July 1921 the
wages of railroad workers were in
creased 200 percent. The deflation
proposed only reduces the increase by
comparatively little, a year ago the
deflation being 11 percent and "the re
eent cuts averaging 13 percent.
Are the railroad workers just and
wise to threaten to starve and freeze
people and paralyze industry on this
account? *
Assuming they have just grievances,
and it is possible they have, assum
ing they fear unless they row take
decisive action the pressure of reduc
tion will be continued, are they jus

titled in adopting such drastic meas
ures? Xo one compels the railroad
worker to stay on the job. If he is
anywhere nearly as capable as he rep
resents himself to be he is capable of
earning a living at some other occu
pation. Very many who work for a
living have to do this, have to seek
and adapt themselves to new employ
' ment and they are not threatening to
freeze the world to compel it to keep
i them on their old jobs.
But the railroad workers are high
ly organized; they are paying hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to lead
ers, they are and for years have
pulled political strings and maintained
legislative lobbies. They have not
hesitated to take advantage even of
the threat of war to compel a wage
which was unreasonable at the time it
iwas granted. Many of them have
worked early and late to force the
| Government, under the Plumb plan
virtually to turn over the railroads to
the workers and are threatening the
political careers of the men who dared
to vote against it.
They are now threatening to starve
and freeze people into submission.
This won't be much of a United
States of America to brag about if
they succeed in doing it.
CONTRIBUTING TO EDUCATION
“i'or unto whomsoever much is
| given, of him shall much he re
quired,” is the text taken by Presi
dent Angell of Yale for his bacca
| laureate address, in course of which
lie made these comments: “College
men are justly expected to possess
trained intelligence, breadth of in
tellectual outlook and capacity for
hard work. < Failure in any one of
these rudimentary requirements con
stitutes an indictment of the educa
tion the man has received. The col
1 lr,?e tiff’d man who does not con
ceive iiis task in life as one com
pelling him to make some contri
i button to human advancement, is
unworthy of his privilege.”
This in lesser degree applies all
along down the line to the primary
school. Even the latter would not
exist but for the contributions made
by our forbears. So is passed on
from generation to generation ever
accumulating responsibility to im
prove on that which we inherit.
What a marvelous result accrues
j even if the improvement in each
(generation be but slight!
It has been said that: "If you
know an honest man or woman :
! when you meet one, if you know a
: good book when you read one. if
you know a good picture when you
see one, if you know good music
i when you hear it—you're educated.”
This might perhaps be amended by
the requirement that one should be
1 able to recognize the false premise
on which an untenable argument, is
| made to appear tenable. However, |
I there ought to be no difficulty in ar
I , .. ...
‘ ai rt LUIHJt'IlSUS OL UpiOlOIl TC
I specting the fundamentals of cduea-!
i tion. There doubtless always will be
more or loss difficulty In insisting on
| those fundamentals, In thoroughly
testing the pupil and the teacher to
j make sure the essentials are re
quired, because the frirperies often
have the charm of novelty and the
promoting of propagandists. Con
tributing to these is often much more
popular than contributing to the
eternal vigilance required for the
preservation of and Insistence upon
the essentials in our schools.
In passing it would seem unfair
not to pay merited tribute to hose
whose contribution has served well
and improved that to which it was
contributed. Appraisement is, per
haps, impossible, but there are fea
tures which are encouraging. The
average reader of the daily press is]
afforded an impression of the char- I
acter of those who are being fitted |
in our schools; he may look over
columns devoted to the picture of
the honor students, of the groups of
college or preparatory ; upils. He
cannot fail to be impressed .by their
youthfulness. He may reflect that
their forbears were older when they
had attained like advance in the
school world. If he sees, as do most
of us. he will be struck by the evi
dent contrast between these whole
some, well bred faces and the slushy
comments that are being made about
flappers and decadents. One will
hunt among the portraits of the pu
pils of our Maine schools long be
fore he will find there anything to
warrant despair of the future of the
race. On the contrary, he wiy find
ample evidence that at least many
and important have been the gen
uine improvements which have been'
made.
SHOULD RECEIVE CONSIDERA
TION
A reader oC the Journal urges that
Augusta should not go away from
home for a candidate to fill the va
cancy to occur in the position of
superintendent of schools. Asked
whom he would put forward as a
candidate he based his argument
on general principles, that other
states send here for their superin
tendents in so many instances it is
proof positive we have the material
right here and so why not make use
of it.
Mow while the record of experi
ence shows that the stranger within
the gates receives more attention
than the dweller therein, also that
even prophets have usually had
trouble in securing the approval of
their own country, nevertheless it
would be short-sighted policy to
overlook excellent material at home
and send away for no better and j
possibly an inferior grade. Surely no
one should object, indeed all should
approve giving the home material
in all such instances a careful and
unprejudiced consideration.

The state has just completed and
equipped a new 40 lied pavilion at
the Northern Maine Sanatorium t
I’resque Isle. This building will be
open to the inspection of the public
June 29, and will,be ready for the
occupancy of patients the first of
July. This new pavilion is another
step in advance in the great work
that is being done in the effort to
stamp out tuberculosis in Maine.
Those who have visited the institu
tions In Maine which have been
built for tuberculosis patients, or for
those with a tendency toward tu
berculosis. say that Maine is in the
very front rank in work of this
kind, that its buildings are well
equipped, and that the percentage of
recoveries is very large, while the
work throughout the state compares
most favorably with that done in
other states.

Jl. K. Farmer ot icmple lias an un
usual experience with a rooster.
About the hist of M; rclt he purcliasi d
a bird of tieorjrc Stevens, who livr ?
about two miles from the Farmer
place. The first of April the rooster
got out of the pen and went into the
field. All efforts to catch him prove !
unavailing and lie finally disappeared
into the woods. There was snow on
the ground at tlie time and for a
short distance he could be tracked,
but that clue was soon lost by bare
ground, so the hunt was given tip.
Wednesday morning: Mrs. Covens
called up the Farmer home and said
the rooster had returned to them that
morning:. Where had the bird been
in the meantime?

Editorial Comment
The Constitution
(Washington Post)
All that the layman need ask,
whether he be a labor leader or a
plain taxpayer, is this question:
What is the absolutely proved will
of the American people—their fixed
command? The answer must be.
the Constitution. If this answer be
not given, thenthere is no necessity
for discussing Congress or the Su
preme Court, for they derive their
existence from the Constitution. The
mechanism for making laws, ac
cording to the people's written will,
is Congress. The mechanism for
ascertaining and applying the laws
to states, individuals and property is
the judiciary.
But Congress can make laws only
in pursuance of the Constitution. If
it could do otherwise, Congress
would be greater than the Consti
tution. and the government or
dained by the people would cease
to exist. The courts can adminis
ter the laws only in pursuance of
the Constitution. If they could do
otherwise, they would le greater
than the Constitution, and the peo
ple would be under the judicial ty
ranny which Senator I.a Pollette
says is now in existence.
Who is to decide when Congress
is acting in pursuance of the Con
stitution in making what it calls a
law? The Supreme Court must do
so—it can not escape the duty. A
case comes before it in which a man
alleges that his life is jeopardised
by a writing which Congress has
passed, and which appears to be a
law. The man alleges that it is not
a law, because it is contrary to the
Constitution, liis life hangs upon
the court's decision. The court takes
the Constitution and the alleged iaw
and compares them. They are ir
reconcilable. The man must either
live, under the protection of the
Constitution, or die under the pen
alty of the alleged law. Which shall
prevail—the Constitution or the al
leged law ?
It does not matter if millions have
clamored for the alleged law, and
that a cowardly Congress has en
acted it unanimously. If it attempts
to go beyond the limits of the Con
stitution it is not a law, and the
Supreme Court must so hold or be
come a party to an infamous betray
al of the people of the United Stages.
When a citizen denounces the
courts for setting aside a law as un
constitutional. he strikes in the face
the spirit of justice that protects his
family, his property, his liberty and
his life.

l.v swept away and a new population |
born every o7 years upon the aver-[
ago. It is the hope of mankind. For
this reason America may some day ,1
cease to be a tooth-pick chewing
nation.
“‘All the old rules of success, if
success is ever success, are as good
today as ever and needed muchj
more. Karly to bed and early to I
rise is too often parodied to read1
paint jour clucks and daub your
eyes.
"All tbe old-superstitions arc based
on carelessness and exist to stimu
late care. To break a looking glass
really means bad luck for seven
years because it will take that long
to overcome the lack of care that
broke the thing. The same with
spilling salt or walking under a lad
der.”
