"A salf-govsrnsd psopls will nsvsr .
permit despotism in any government |
which they foster and defend,”
Wilson and Mr. Wilson
Whither are we drifting? Govern
ment departments are going round in
circles. Now and again they turn
and bump square into each other.
And then some one of them goes off
on a tangent. Is there any way to
prevent the innocent bystander from
meeting his usual fate?
For some time the prosecution of
radicals has not been resulting in
the number of deportations that the
outbursts credited to them would
seem to warrant. And hints have
> been dropped that the prosecutions
ware either fakes in themselves or
that they were nullified by somebody
higher up. Secretary of Labor Wil
son has given the whole thing away
by his ruling that membership in the
communist labor party which advo
cates control of government by the
'•workers" and implies, if it does not
express, its approval of the use of
force and violence to attain that ob
ject, is not sufficient ground for deper
tatioi* Force and violence in turn im
ply revolution, defense and bloodshed,
but these thin,** do not seem to Sec
retary Wilson sufficient reason for
segregating those who stand for them
from peaceful and peace loving citi
zens whose only offense is loyalty to
their government. He is still taboo
ing the communist party up to the
hour of going to press, but has set the
seal of his authority, which appears
to be final, on the communist labor
ites and the esteemed I. W. W.’s. He
claims that there is a vast differ
ence between the platforms of the
communist and the communist labor
t
|>a i uca.
Suppose for the sake of the argu
ment. we agree that there is. Parties
and individuals in those parties do
not always adhere strictly to the let
ter of their party platforms. .Besides,
there is nothing to hinder radicals
from taking out insurance against
deportation in the forrft of member
ship in the communist labor party.
They can flash their membership
cards when questioned and otherwise
put them in their pockets and be
real communists. The plan looks
like a sure and easy means of win
ning friends for each party from the
othy.
In the simple days of old-fashioned
government, say, prior to 1913. the
laws were interpreted by the courts !
and the judges. It is a part of the ;
“New Freedom” to bestow this func- j
tion on the Secretary of Labor, and |
the department of justice itself isn't
yet “hep” to it. Assistant Attorney
General Garvan says with a good deal
oi pathetic truth that the work of his
department ?\lla flat if Secretary
Wilson is to be allowed to cancel all
the deportation warrants ordered by
department of justice officials.
Obviously relief must be found-by!
changing the law or by changing the
secretary of labor. The present In- .
cumbent is one of the three guaran- ■
teed, fast color, wearever stickers of
the Wilson cabinet and shows no
indication of resigning or getting
himself fired. There s£ems to be left I
only one alternative.
Appropriate Time to Consider.
A Buddhist, it is said, finds medi- 1
tation on the perfections of Buddha j
good for his soul and it is fair to as- j
sume that meditation on worthy;
matters may prove good for the souls
of all of us and in some instances ,
may lead to clarity of understand- j
ing. An instance at hand this par- j
ticuiar year, and which offers excel- I
lent inducement, is this country of 1
ours, what it was and is and why. J
It might not be well to meditate j
altogether on its worthy attainments j
during the past three huiidred^years ■
but it would be well to arrive at some j
comprehensive idea of them, es- j
pecially at this time when some noisy ;
malcontents are making easy living
by cursing the land they live in; the
game individuals who whimper when
threatened with deportation. They
don’t want to leave the country they
condemn, our soldiers were glad to
get back to the country they fought
fo£, underlying all of which there
must be a most .excellent reason,
many of them, in fact.
It might be better: is to be better,
And if we are worth our six feet of
Its*earth in which to lie, we have a
part in making it* better. Conse
quently there should be general in
terest this year in the celebrations
and pageants which are to com
jnemorato tta.aooth annlTjawiy of
lie lending of the Pilgrim band,
torth South, East and West
•very part of the country, has had
ipportunity to recognize the ■ignifl
ance, to realize that the Influence of
hose pilgrims has been mighty, an
nseparable part of the glorious re
sord. Besides, this year is an impor
ant anniversary of other events
ionnected witfc our history. In
ramestown there was being held the
Irst American legislative assembly
hree hundred years ago. There is a ,
ilenty to celebrate and every argu
nent why we should; and if there
Lre any who think otherwise this
vould seem to be a very appropriate
iccasion to inform them.
The British food jninister is frank
;o say that the food situation is not
>ne that supports optimism; that the
mports of wheat from America
vould be less than last year by four
niillon tons and India's increased
wheat tonnage would not be avail
kble for export; that butter was
ibout half the prewar amount, that
he world production of sugar had
Jecreased three and a half million
:ons; in other words the world’s food '
shortage has not improved.
One authority says bolshevism is
jn the wane in Europe; another says
t is virtually in control of Germany;
mother declares the Prussians are
jetting ready for attack on Prance,

something more useful we might get

The Bath Times rinds little encourage
ment in its campaign to secure steam
boat service between the Kennebec- and
Boston. It said Friday night:
In all probability this will be another
season with no Boston beat on the Ken
nebec. although the Bath Chamber of
Commerce and some of the influential
citizens up river have been tr> ing to ob
tain such service.
The Eastern Steamship Lines Inc., has
decided that there is no money in the
line for them to operate the boats, as
the high cost of coal and the salaries
to officers and the wages for the crew,
repairs, improvements and costs in gen
eral being too expensive.
Where in the old days, a round trip
of the Boston steamer to the Kennebec
cost $700, the same trip this year would
be in the vicinity of ^000. Moreover, t
is claimed that firemen.^engineers and
able bodied sailors would be impossible
almost to obtain this year as last, for
the comparatively short season during
which the steamer or steamers would
ply on this route.
The jitney drivers of Houlton have
jumped the price of short rides from 35

high cost of gas—35 cents—et cetera is
given as the reason."

day last week just for exercise. Are
there many that can beat that?"

to Elmer Brackett, who was about to
have it moved to his lot on Pine street.
The furniture, owned by Mr. Tarbox,
was also destroyed. The cause was fire
spreading from a'brush fire.
The Vinalhaven correspondent of the
Knox Messenger has evidently had an
experience, what do you say:
At this season of the year it is folly to
enter your bed room without turning on
the light, also do not attempt to sit on
the edge of the bed unless you are sure
the bed is there for this is house clean
ing time and the tpomen folks may have
decided to put the bed on the other side
of the room this year, so it is well to
be careful for you never can tell.

Sufficient Warning.
(Portland Press)
New England farmers will reduce
their acreage by 25 per cent. This
should be a sufficient warning for the
war gardeners to get busy.
A Word to Business Men.
(Forbes Magazine)
F'ifteen years ago large employers
in this country' were oftentimes just
, as arrogant and inconsiderate as
I any class of workers is today. Cor
ruption of lawmakers, corruption of
transportation companies, corrup
tion of civic officials was rife. Work
men were treated more like pieces of
machinery than human beings made
after the image of God. They were
' hired- and fired heartlessly. No
! serious efforts were made to provide
| steady employment. Wages' were
i held down. Even the decentest ot
| trade union! were fought and
j thwarted. Legislation was engi
j neered favorable to capital. Big
! Business was in the saddle and with
I a high head and a high hand rode a
‘ high horse.
Some of us even then foresaw
that capital, by Its selfishness, its
autocracy and its unfairness, was
laying up for itself not a peck but a
whole world of trouble. •You are
pulling the pendulum mercilessly
! far in your own direction; some
day labor, when it gains the power,
will pull the pendulum even a little :
farther in. its own direction.” wg% the
warning given unscrupuiuous capi
talists and corporations.
Labor in due course did seize hold
! of the pendulum and. as we have all
i found to our cost, has not hesitated j
to pull it overfar in its own direc- |
j tion, regardless of the consequences 1
! to the rest of the people.
The opportunity is now coming for .
I bringing the pendulum back to nor- i
| mal. Capital was rounded up when
j it went too far. Labor leaders who j
I have now gone too far are now be- j
I ginning to be rounded up. It is for
| every honest, law-abiding, peace- \
| loving citizen to play his part hon- ;
j orably and energetically in seeking
| to bring about equitable conditions,
i all round.

“Tanlac has restored me to health

was the statement made a few days
ago by Mrs. Hiram L. Robinson, 20
Veranda street, Portland..Maine.
‘Before I began taking Tanlac I
was in a dreadfully run-down condi
tion, suffering almost continually
from stomach trouble, nervousness
and backache. My stomach was so
upset I could not eat anything with
out being in distress afterwards. I
would bloat up with gas and suffer
terribly from heart palpitation, and I
had pains in my stomach nearly all
the time. My nerves were all un
strung and I would jump and trem
ble all over at the least little noise
out of the-ordinary. My back pained
me constantly right over my kidneys
and I wasn't able to do my house
work. for the least thing would tire
me out altogether. Last fall I suf
fered a complete nervous breakdown
and started - losing weight and
strength rapidly. I fell off until I
weighed only one hundred pounds
and I knew something had to be done
and done right away.
"My husband suggested that.I try
Tanlac and one month ago I began
taking it. I have now just finished
my third bottle and today I weigh
one hundred and ten pounds and have
regained my health completely. I on - !
joy everything I eat now because it
agrees with me and I never suffer any
pain or distress at all from my stom
ach. My nerves are calm and steady
and my back doesn't pain me in the
least. I take pleasure and interest
in my house-work now, for I can do
it with the greatest ease. Tanlac is

Smart Kid
Little Jimmy had a very pretty sister.
Pretty sister had a very devoted ad
mirer. One evening when he was wait
ing in the parlor for sister to appear,
he was approached by little Jimmy.
“Mr. Smith," queried the youngster,
“do you love rty sister, Jenny?"
“Why, Jimmy?" was the amazed re
sponse of blushing Mr. Smith, "why d)
you ask mo that?"
"Because," was jhe quick rejoinder of
the youngster, “she said last night she
would give a dollar to know, and 1 need
the money." *
CIVILIZATION
Some people talk as if Capital were
Wicked. But Capital means Civilization.
Without it there is but Barbarism. Any
man with a Dollar Ahead is a Capitalist.
And it is what he does with that Surplus
Dollar that determines whether he shall be
a success or a failure. The business of this
Bank is to help you care for your Capital.
