DR. LADD, THE QUACK
The dispatch which reports the
attack of .Senator Ladd of North Da
kota on the banks, his proposal to
pay the bonus with paper money is
sued for the purpose, classes him
as a Republican. The Congressional
Directory refers to him as Nonparti
san Republican. The speech he de
livered reveals him as a plain dema
gogue. ,
He knows better. He was educat
ed in the Maine schools, taking a
degree from the U. of M. One so
educated knows that if the Govern
ment at the behest of politicians
prints paper money to pay the
bonus it will then 1e called upon
at the behest of politicians to
print paper money for the schemes
of the agricultural bloc and so
on, in other words we will enter
on the broad highway to financial
chaos over which Germany is trav
elling ar.d to which Russia has ar
rived. When, if ever, that condition
is reached foreign nations will know
be»ter than to try to borrow money
from the United States to save them
from bankruptcy.
The bankers are just as likely to
need fair criticism as other inter
ests, but this much is certain, their
prosperity depends on the prosperity
of th" country, a fact well under
stood by them, and which should be
understood by this man Ladd, bitten
as he is with Nonpartisan League
heresies. He represents in the Unit
ed States Senate those visionaries—
to put it mildly—who thought they
could get along without heed of the
well-known facts and principles on
whic h sound business is based. They
had no use for bankers who oper
ated in accordance with those prin
ciples; they took over the banks to
run according to their notions. What
happened every well informed citi
zen should know. They could no
more make two and two amount to
f»ve than could other visionaries.
North Dakota is paying the penalty.
A feature of that is contained in this
report:
largo, .x. ij., june jo.
"The settlement of West Fargo,
including twenty-four modern dwell
ings, a store and a hotel, the prop
erty of the liquify Co-operative
Packing Plant of Fargo, was sold un
der the sheriff's hammer here to
day for SL’l.OOO. It went to Louis
Altonbornd, of Sabin, Minn., who
held a $bO,00'J mortgage against the
plant.”
Surely if the bankers deserve criti
cism we should insist that it should
lie made by those who have some
knowledge of the subject discussed
and some integrity in telling the
truth, if we are to give it any cred
ence. Least of all should we listen
to such as Ladd, who represents
only his own political ambitions and
a discredited league of incompetents
—and worse!
INVITES CONDEMNATION
Aside from the matter of its con
tents that letter sent out immedi
ately before the recent primaries by
the Reverend Judson P. Marvin at
tempting to inflame religious bigotry
in opposition to Governor Baxter
carried with it its own condemna
tion. That of which it complained
had occurred long enough ago so
that the 1 lev r rend Marvin had ample,
opportunity to make his charges, If
such they may be termed, in season
to receive a reply. The public has
learned to distrust the canard put
forth so late that no reply may 1<»
made to it. That this should be the
method resorted to under the cloak
of religion especially deserves con
demnation. This, notwithstanding
tiie offender, may have lacked com
prehension of just what he was do
ing.
Playing with fire in the midst of
combustibles is an innocent prank
compared witli playing polities with
so-called region, in fact with creedal
prejudices. Surely in Turkey and in
Ireland we have recently seen the
horrible abundance of the fruit of
such deviltry. Prejudices that have
been kept alive for centuries, in
quite a degrefe because so to do
6eemed to favor ambitions and po
litical exigencies, (lame up in ferocity
m which bears no closer relation to re
ligion than do the dregs of hell.
There are not Infrequently arising
delicate questions influenced by
creed, discussion of which may ex
cite bigotry under the most favor
able conditions, but questions, never
theless, which should receive atten
tion. They should be discussed frank
ly, and the disputants should have
courage adequate to the faith that

is in them. It should, however, be
I imperative that they be treated with
broad comprehension, in recognition
of the view-point of others, and with
: respectful attention to both sides.
! Those who would treat them other
wise, who would endeavor to take
mean advantage in stealthy propa
ganda, are friend neither to the pub
lic nor to religion, or to any cree<^
other than that of hate. The atti
tude of the clergy of Maine in the
instance referred to and the response
of the people at the polls merit com
mendation and should discourage
any such effort hereafter.
None may criticise the adminis

Editorial Comment
MAINE REBUKES BIGOTRY
(Boston Transcript)
An outstanding feature of the Re
publican primaries in Maine is the
rebuke administered by the represen
tatives in that State of the party of
Lincoln and Roosevelt to an eleventh
hour appeal to religious bigotry. On
the eve of the primaries the Rev
erend Juason P. Marvin, pastor of
the Universalist Church of the Mes
siah in Portland, is reported to have
bombarded the State with an attack
upon Governor Baxter based upon
the charge that the Governor catered
to Catholic voters at the expense of
Protestant voteis. It appears that
the governor is a lifelong member of
the Congregationalist Church; that
his sister, the late Miss Emily Bax
ter, an accomplished musician, was
for a time the organist in the Sacred
Heart Church of Portland, a Roman
Catholic parish. At the time of her
death the governor presented to this
church the organ which some years
before had been built at the home
of his sister and he ventured to at
tend the services on Easter Sunday
at which the organ was dedicated.
His gift to the church in memory
of his sister, his attendance at the
memorial services and the fact that
he' emulated the example of President
Harding in offering a message of con
dolence at the time of the death of
the Pope, brought upon the governor
the wrath of the Rev. Mr. Marvin,
who addressed a letter to the Prot
estant clergymen of the State criti
cising him for these acts. Typical
of the tone of this letter is the fol
lowing excerpt:
Will the people of Maine stand
idly by and allow the Chief Exec
utive of this State to recognize
officially any institution that has
the disruption of our public
schools as its purpose? Are we I
to have tiie school system of the
Middle Ages and Continental Eu
rope grafted upon us with official
gubernatorial approval and not
feel an issue flung squarely in our
faces ?
j. he easy triumph of tlie governor
over tliis vicious appeal to religious
bigotry can he hailed as satisfactory
evidence that the plain people of
Maine affiliated with the Republican
Party abominate bigotry r.o less than
their fellow Americans in other
States. Fortunately for the good
name of the Universalist Church, the
Pulpit politician of Portland must
not be regarded as in any sense*
teprcsenlative of his denomination.
Unhappily we are not without big
ots in every denomination, but all
bigots and all .pulpit politicians who
resort during a campaign, or at any
other time, to an appeal to religious
bigotry look alike to the true Amer
ican who believes in Straight Ameri
canism. Religious bigotry, race prej
udice and class consciousness con
stitute an infamous triple alliance in
our national household that would
dynamite that American character
which is as much the spiritual cor
nerstone of the Nation as is the Con
stitution its political cornerstone.
To the congratulations clue Gover
nor Baxter upon his re-nomination
should be added felicitations to tbe
people of Maine upon their timely
rebuke to the cowardly attempt, of a
Pulpit politician to light the fires of
religious bigotry upon the hearth
stone of the Republican party.
The Last Primaries, He Hopes
(Bangor Commercial)
Jiulce Peering, in his statement
that the primary is a rich man's
trame, is hut expressing the views of 1
many who were candidates at Mon- j
day's election. We imagine there was
a very considerable number of men
and women who entered the prima
ry s with a belief that it would cost i
them nothing to offer their Candida- 1
cies to the public. Then they found j
that they had opposition and disoov
ered that if they were to have a !
chance of winning they must place I
themselves prominently in the minds ]
of the voters. And later they found i
th.tt the primaries are expensive.
^'"e think the primary vote on Mon- !
day very thoroughly demonstrated
once more that the voters as a whole
are not particularly interested in the '
primaries. The great argument for
the primaries is that they give the
voters a chance to express their tie
sires as to nominations. Rut to what
extent <lo the voters take advantage
of this opportunity .’
The total vote cast in the primaries
Monday, for the Republican candi
dates for nomination as governor,
amounted to approximately fit).non. in
the state election for governor two
years ago fid. l’arkhurst received
l.V>.3!i3 votes and it must be consid
ered that, many women did not vote
two years ago when they had just
received l he ballot.
Thus the Republican vote In the
primaries Monday was but 14 per
cent, or the vole east for the Repub
lican nominee for governor two years
ago. It cannot be denied that there
was a lively primary campaign and
that every effort was made to get the
voters to the polls on the Republican
side. The 1 leniocratic vote Monday
W 's very small, due to lack of com
petition for the nominations.
it is in the rural sections, esprcl.il
lv that the voters do not avail them
selves of their primary privileges. To
take a few places in Penobscot coun
ty and it cannot be denied that there
was a very strong effort in this coun
ty to get the voters out. In Lagrange
."ill votes were cast for the Republican
aspirants for the gubernatorial nomi
nation as compared with 147 for Col.
Parkhurst in the election two years
ago.
The figures for Hudson wore l!* as
compared with 43 for 1’arkhurst in
the September election n 1020; in
Clifton 0 as compared with 40: in le
vant 25 ns compared with 114; in
Garland 61 as compared with 107; jn
Hcrmon, 73 as compared with 201; in
Stetson, 45 as compared with 127. The
votes in these towns which were not
exceptional show very clearly that
the voters ns a rule do not care for
the primaries.
•A* a matter of fact the number
availing themseives of the privilege
of the ballot in the primaries in many
of the towns does not exceed the
number that would attend a caucus
in a contested nomination fight.
e think that the general primary
in Maine is doomed and that the state
will never have another. Kut if we
are mistaken and if the primary sys
tem is to be continued we devoutly
hope, and express the sentiments of
many that the hours will be changed
and that the primary hours will be
made to correspond with those of the
regular elections. We fail to see any
good reason why the polls should re
main open until 9'oclock, causing the
election officials to remain at work
well toward midnight and in many
cases beyond. There maf be some
voters who would find inconvenience
in attendins the polls before a
o'clock, but there are many more who
are leaving town who are not able to
wait until noon before casting their
ballot.
The Maine Primary
(New York Times)
Senator Hale's renomination by a
vote larger than that of his two
opponents combined indicates that
the ‘’progressive" and the "radical ’
movement, the latter apparent in
Iowa, the former visible only to sin
gularly acute eyes lined upon Penn
sylvania and Indiana, are not deep
ly affecting Down East* Mr. Davies,
favorite of the labor unions and the
radicals. Tainted Mr. Hale as an ex
treme ‘’reactionary." He was pound
ed for not voting to exempt laborers
and farmers from the Anti-Trust
law. for his support of the anti
strike provision in the Esch-Cum
mins Railroad bill, for opposing the
excess profit taxes and the increase
of the inheritance taxes; and, of
course, for voting to seat the for
bidden Newberry. Some 10.<XH) per
sons signed a petition asking Mr.
Davies to become a candidate. He
failed to get that number of votes.
Petition-signing/ is a well-known
branch of American humor.
Mr. Davies himself must be re
garded as a delightful humorist. Mr.
Hale, like Governor Baxter, is guilty
of the atrocious crime of being un
married. The State was covered
with letters and posters declaring the
superiority of married men as can
didates for tlie Senate. "Hands that j
have been filled with glass beads and !
golden toys.” said the romantic Mr. j
Davies, ‘jtannot grasp the things in
life which are lasting and abiding."
Alas! the Maine Republicans have
no so\il for poetry.

Cats Are Cannibals

To settle a controversy bore: are ;

the remains, and in the farther rdlar j
where they never went themselves
were found two little tails and one
little odd leg. They could run

Allied Debt To Be
Basis U. S. Future
Economic Welfare
St. Louis Mo., June 2-—The prob
lem of requiring payment of tho i
allied debt, or cancelling it, is “the
fundamental question, upon the an
swer to which will dr pend the future
of our own commercial and industrial
welfare, and tiiat of the rest of the
world," Walter Lichtenstein, Fh.D.,
the Chicago banker, said at the con
vention of the Illinois Hankers Asso
ciation here today. Iir. Lichtenstein
then presented a summary o’f both
sides of tlie controversy as voiced in
a recent statement from the Chicago
Association of Commerce.
“Most of my time during the last
months has been spent in making an
economic survey of this country on
behalf of the American Bankers
Association,” said ])r. Lichtenstein.
“It is evident that there is a much
greater feeling of hopefulness in the ’
country. The most thoughtful oh- !
servers feel that we have probably i
gone as far as we can in a rehabili- I
tation of our conditions urttess we j
can bring some influence to bear upon i
I.ulope—as it is Kuropc which is the
sore spot—and 1 believe that in the
present juncture of affairs this fact
cannot be overemphasized.
With the exception of Great Brit
ain none of the Kuropeau countries
• ne really in a position to bring about
a net reduction of their governmental
indebtedness to us in the near future.
The world lias become more and
more interdependent, even though it
is indisputable that tins general truth
is less applicable to this country than
to any other. To quote from a recent
speech of Mr. Kcginald McKenna, the
very able chairman of the London
Joint City and Midland Bank: 'One
nation, and still more a large group
o. nations, cannot be broken up and
impoverished so as to destroy its
ability to function, without throwing
the entire machine out of gear. Tho
trade of each country is linked up
with that of the whole world Our
own trade cannot recover its pre-war
activity whilst so many countries
continue in their present broken down
™n;mion/, And !,o well exemplifies
that woild-trarb -interrelationship l>y
•showing that if Russia. for instane •.
■ails to make purchase of tea in China
*>r India, as formerly, the result is
!? ■"ffect unfavoratly tho capacity of
those countries to 1 „y cotton goods
from Lngland, which in turn leads to
a reduction of the purchases of raw
rotton by Kndand in the 1'nited
. tates. and that again reacts un
favorably on Kngland’s business of
snipping, banking and insurance.’'

Autoists’ Caution
Lessens With Years
R. R. Figures Show
Baltimore, June 22.—Arc drivers
of motor vehicles becoming more
negligent, losa regardful of their
own safety ?
It would seem so from actual ob
servations made by the Baltimore
and Ohio Kailroad. For more than
two years this railroad has been i
placing men at Crossings where j
there are usually a large number of
automobiles passing. These observ
ers make note of the number of ma
chines crossing and take down the
license numbers of those whose driv
ers fail to take any precaution to
assure themselves that it is sa.e
to pass over the tracks. This safety
precaution consists of the driver's
slowing down or stopping, and then
looking and listening. When a driv
er dashes over without taking any
of these preftvutions. -his licence
number is noted and a card telling
him of Iris negligence is sent him.
with request to guard bis life and I
property the next time he goes over
a railroad track.
In the year 11)20 the Baltimore
& Ohio observers took note of ,”!)8.
000 vehicles in the states through
which it operates. In that year, ac
cording to the records of these ob
servers, there were 25,000 drivers
who failed to take any precautions i
at. highway crossings. This wa3 0
per cent of the total observations
, 1 i
made.
In April of this year there were
10.477 automobiles checked by the
railroad's observers. There were
2072 ot' the drivers of those reported
as failing to stop, look or listen be
fore pass'ng over the tracks. This
was a safety “failure” of 18 per cent.
For the first four months of this
year there were 58.810 machines ob
served and the “failures” reached 17
per cent.
The Increase in the number of
drivers failing to take safety pre
cautions seems clearly to indicate, in
the opinion of the road's safety de
partment, that the automobile driv
er is becoming more negligent.
