German Reparation
Because the Peace Conference
neglected to fix the terms of the
financial penalty to be imposed
on Germany the problem remains
and because of the uncertainty
these many months business all over
the civilized v/orld has been seriously
injured. The United States being a
creditor nation is among those that |
suffer.
if possible Germany should have
been compelled to make good the loss
occasioned by the war she started.
This is said to be an impossibility.
What is possible? The Allied Su
preme Council has agreed on the
terms, but as these are not covered
by the treaty with Germany the lat
ter must be consulted. That she will
interpose every possible objection is
to be expected. Already her goods
are finding markets all over the
world at prices with which the other
countries cannot compete. The low
rate of exchange favors Germany in
this, as also does the fact that she is
absolutely compelled to sell for what
* she can get and has a big stock of
some commodities accumulated dur
ing the war. She is offering, for one
thing, magnetos for five pounds that
Ungland makes and sells for tVvelve
pounds. Her dyes are being used to
club the dye-makers of other coun
l ries out of existence. She is enter
ing the South American markets with
goods at prices calculated to kill
competition. Before the war she was
.ij>le to do this; now she ts not only'
able hut is compelled to do it. For
it must be borne in mind that the
only way she may get the money to
pay tlie war damages is from the sale
of her goods.
flu trade situation undoubtedly
had something to do with the adjust
ment agr^d upon by England and
1 'ranee, which included a tax of 121
cents on her exports. Germany is
• xpected to howl vociferously against
this. The free traders in this coun
try are likewise lifting up their wail
that consumers of German goods will
have to pay more for them. With
regard, however, to the other terms
• >f reparation, there appears to be
general approval outside Germany.
Baying a grand total of tw-o hundred
and twenty-two billion marks in a
period of forty-two years is a big
undertaking, though it will fall many
billions short of just reparation.
Germany is entitled to absolutely
no sympathy. She should have
placed on her the utmost burden she
can bear, but she must be allowed to
live in order to bear it. If she does
•not attempt to support a big army
and navy and cuts off the pension she
is paying the Hohenzollerfis it is esti
mated she can save three hundred
millions of her pre-war expenditures,
t-die ought to support this debt, which
practically amounts to] twenty billion
dollar debt at 3 per cent with a one
per cent sinking fund, and thrive un
der it. Meatvwhilo she will watch
her opportunities. Already she is
profiting from those. The divergent
impulses of England and France have
already helped her and further differ
ences of opinion among the allies may
i Iso prove to her advantage. She
must, however, convince the powers
that loan money of her ability and
disposition to pay the reparation
which shall be fixed, because loans
she must have to successfully de
velop and fit herself for the under
taking that is ahead of her. )
Obregon’s Job Looms
The* bigness of General Obregon’s
,tob at governing Mexico is daily be
. ojning more and more apparent.
First lie must have recognition from
; lie United States before he has any
assurance of a successful administra
tion. This cannot be obtained, prob
ably, before the coming in of the new
administration and even then not un
til certain assurances respecting
property rights are given. However
much Obregon may be disposed to
iliut he is surrounded by limitations.
Trie giving of guaranties that amount
to anything implies thorough control
of administrative affairs. If guaranty
of protection of life be given power
must stand back of it: if promise to
pay damages amount to anything
there must be the ablUty to pay; If
orderly government b® insisted on
l.ow may those inured'by generations
of habit to disorder be compelled to
keep tlio peace?
Has President Obregon the ability
to make such pledges good? -fToba
bly he would like to know, himself.
Av yet the severe test has not come
but Lite- daily reports indicate that it
is on the way. ftebel bands are said
to be operating in different parts of
the country; Jail deliveries have been
quite frequent; Bolshevism is run
ning affairs in several of the smaller
southern states, and General Calles
who has been sent to establish order
Is suspected of nourishing an am
bition to succeed Obregon as soon as
ever that may seem to him possible.
And he is said to be a strong man.
Moreover there Is a feeling that Ob
regon, in his eagerness to obtain rec
ognition, has not represented condi
tions accurately. This is not surpris
ing. Mexico has worried along for
years with promise in place of per
formance. The habit may not be in
curable but it is persistent.
Notwithstanding all this Obregon
continues the one “best bet" of those
who wish to see Mexico govern her
self. It is believed that he is thor
oughly convinced that his country
must, to survive, get onto a firm
basis; that he is thoroughly sick of
warfare. If this view be correct, one
may well wish him success and sym
pathise with him in the great diffi
culties in which he finds himself. •
So far this winter has afforded an
excellent opportunity for planning
snow removal, but very little for ap
plying the theories. So the mayor of ;
Boston is getting along finely with
his plan for removing the snow from
Boston’s streets by a cooperative |
movement on the part of private cit- ;
izens, firms and corporations, espc- •
cially public service corporations.
Truckmen will hitch their horses to 1
sleds loaned them by a local company
and the city will be districted, each
district under the supervision of a
master truckman. It is proposed to
distribute sand and ashes after the
same method It's a sure thing that
nothing beats cooperation that co
operates, in civic as well as in other
affairs. The plan is suggested for the
use of other cities, some of which,
however, are likely to wait until after
the storm to ascertain just how the
plan works in Boston.
If the world’s yachtsmen go out for'
the cup offered by King Albert of
Belgium for all yachts of whatever
build for a race from this country to
Ostend there should result the best
exhibition of international sport
among deep sea yachtsmen ever af
forded, and July 4, 1921 is a fitting
day on which to begin it. This re
calls to mind the cup offered by a
monarch a few years ago, a gold cup
it was said, but on examination it
was found to be pewter covered with
gold plate, such as might have been
expected had we then known the
Hohenzollern as we now know him.
Unless the world has been grossly
deceived in Albert of Belgium the
trophy he offers will be one of in
trinsic value.
Mustafa Kemal, the Turkish rebel
who defies thh government set up by
the Allies at Constantinople, -who has
affiliated with the Bolshevists and
j whipped all troops that have bee n
sent against him, now announces
that he will attend the London con
j ference, that the foreign troops must
j vacate all Turkish territory and that
i no Indemnity is to be required of
Turkey. How adroitly she has man
aged Europe, and what a rotten con
dition of things there must be over
there to enable those descendants of
the Prophet to so blackmail it.
Medicine Hat has a contract to pay
a certain experimenter $4000 per inch
for rainfall during the period May 1
to August 1. If Medicine Hat suc
ceed in having the contract fulfilled
its past fame as compared with its
future will be like a tallow dip in the
blaze of a burning barn.
The Newfoundland government,
w'hich controls sugar wtyhin its ter
ritory, having bought a lot of sugar
at the high price is compelling its
citizens to pay 25 cents per pound for
It. Presumably there are some In
this country who wish they had like
control over the consumer.

Editorial Comment
A Better Way Wili Be Found
(Architecture.)
There is always something of an
affront to the average intelligence in
hearing some incorrigible optimist
iterate and reiterate his everlasting
slogan of “keep smiling, good times
are coming, the worst is over,” and
yet if we all sit tight in our own little
corners of discontent and discourage
ment, it would be a still worse world.
The trouble with the incorrigible
optimist is too often simply the fact
that he has found the sledding rather
better than he expected and his prob
lems thereby made easier.
The real optimist is the man who
has had his soul tried, and can yet
pull himself together and make ready
with a foundation of clear thinking
and acceptance of facts for the fight
ahead.
He knows all about what has been,
where and why he has failed, and
knowing, he sets out to put his hard
experience to better use.
We have certainly had a surfeit of
revelations concerning rottenness and
graft in the building trades, and the
trail of the profiteer has been blazed
so plainly that even the blind may
follow. During the war the govern
ment put a stop to general building;
since the war a general chaos has
followed. “Blame it on George,” for
there doesn’t seem to be any way of
definitely placing the responsibility on
any one group of persons or condi
tions.
We all know that times have been
difficult for architects, and we all
hope the times are surely going to be
better. Thousands of homes must be
built, thousands of factories and
office-buildings, and they are going to
be built, and the architects are going
to build most of them. There are
signs of better times, even If they are
not yet lighted by electricity for all to
see. The problem of readjustment
must and can be solved—not in a day,
a month, a year, but it will be solved,
and somehow we believe there is go
ing to be a new light in the land that
will point the way to a better under
standing between capital and labor
and a fairer adjustment of prices be
tween buyer and seller. Optimist?
No! Here is the answer: If we can’t
do business under present conditions,
and business must be done, then a
better way will be found for doing it!
The air has been considerably
clearcd by recent exposures of grift.
Iniquitous combinations, and uncon
scionable profiteering. We better
know “where we are at,” and know
ing, we may act accordingly.

It has been foujid that our nervous sys

But ndw we go to the cause—we Build up
our run-down ductless glands. And this,
it has been found, can bp accomplished
by feeding them with extracts from the
glands of sheep and cattle.
This new method is embodied in a
remarkably effective preparation called
Glandex Compound, which contains these
extracts, also iron and other health
builders in tablet form. Many physicians
are prescribing this new treatment for
their patients, and the results as they

PRESS TRIBUTES TO LATE
GOVERNOR
(Boston Transcript)
In the death of Frederic Hale Park
: burst, who assumed office as govern
j or of the State less than a month ago,
: Maine loses a son whose life was
largely spent in her service and who
' brought to his labors for the com
mon gpod a lofty conception of the
duties of the citizen, a deep and
‘ abiding affection for *tlie State in
j which he was born and lived, and
; practical abilities of a high order. As
| Maine people recall his life they may
! properly take pride in his unselfish
I and enthusiastic efforts in support of
; those things which tended to make
i the State a better place in which to
| live. He will be remembered as a
man who never faltered in his devo
I tion to her interests, who had visions
j of great things remaining to be ac
i complished. and in whose expres
j sions of the faith that was in him
j there was never discernible a note of
pessimism. He believed in Maine,
' and he received many evidences that
, Maine people believed in him. The
great plurality by which he was
elected governor was, in part, a re
: flection of that regard. It gave indi
i cations of future honors that might
! have been his had his life been
spared. As it is, his devotion to his
; State and his labors in her service
should serve to makb his life an en
during inspiration for his fellow cit
1 izens.
-Personal Loss
(Bangor Commercial)
Governor Park hurst was always
true to his friends and never lost an
opportunity of extending his aid
when possible.
j Through the death of the Governor
j the State of Maine is deprived of the
I services of one who, had he been
: spared, would have bulked large in
the executive history of the State,
whose administration would have
been marked by .development and ad
vance, by energy, fairness toward all
and the most careful personal con
1 sideration of all problems. Here in
j Bangor where everybody knew him,
I the death of Governor Parkhurst is
felt as a personal loss. Here it is felt
that the city has lost one of its best
citizens, an esteemed business man
and a constant worker for its im
provement and betterment.
A Type That Was Needed
(Waterville Sentinel)
Governor Parkhurst was of the
type most needed in American poli
tics and his death is a severe Joss to
I the State. His advice and clear Judg
I ment would have been invaluable at
this crisis in Maine affairs. Many
times since election has been heard
the comment: “Well, it’s a good thing
| we have a man like Parkhurst for
! governor. They won’t fool him any.”
| The State was satisfied with Park
| hurst as governor and as governor
Parkhurst was eager to make good,
to undertake, the great tasks before
him and to demonstrate he could ful
fill what he had so often promised as
a candidate.
A Sad Day for Maine
(Bangor News)
Monday was a sad day for Maine
and for all her people. There is
mourning everywhere for Frederic
Hale Parkhurst. for he had done well
by the State that bestowed upon him
her highest civil distinction, and by
his record of public service had given
assurance of fine achievements for
tf-J common welfare in the broad field
that had Just opened to him. • * •
The victory of last September, bril
liant and impressive and coming at
a juncture in American politics that
gave it nation-wide, even interna
tional, significance, did not turn his
head. He was the same Fred Park
hurst, gratified of course, but more
thoughtful than elated, for he real
ized the responsibility that was upon
him. That he would have made a
strong and good governor for Maine is
beyond all doubt. He lived to realize
his ambition to sit in the first place
in our hall of State, and in that real
ization there was great public satis- !
taction. It is a cruel fate that has
cut him down at the meridian of his
hopes, it is nothing short of a tragedy
that after the briefest taste of the
ijwfcets of victory the chalice should ,
be snatched from his lips.
Meant It and Would Hava Dona It
‘ (Lewiston Sun)
Those who ever .heard Governor
Parkhurst tell of his ambition to be
Governor and of the high service he
meant to do his state have now the
right to believe he meant it and ;
would have done it.
Pointed to Constructive Government
(Aroostook Daily News)
It is to be regretted that Kate had
determined not to give Governor
Parkhurst the opportunity to fill his
term of office. His pre-inauguration
speeches and his inaugural adaress
all pointed to a period of constructive
government. He had outlined plans
for his tenure of office that, 'if car
ried out, were bound to be beneficial
and for the State’s best interests.
Leaves Inspiration
(Biddeford Journal)
At the very thresholu on entering
the office of the State's chief execu
tive he was fatally stricken and the
he had undertaken, for the pro
posed accomplishment of which he
entertained such high ideals, rethains
undorife. The State may not suffer as
a result, for the work will go on.un
der the impulse and irispiration of the
man who had meant to do so much in
the natural course of events, hut in
every corner of the commonwealth he
loved so well there will be regret that
Governor Parkhurst could not have
lived to harvest the crop from the
seed he had so carefully sown. Those
who knew Frederic H. Parkhurst best
respected him most.
A Severe Blow to Maine
(The Evening Express)
The news that the wires brought
this morning of the death of Gov
ernor Frederic H. Parkhurst will be
received, as it really is, as a severe
blow to the State of Maine. A pro
gressive young business man, with a
vision of a future for this Common
wealth that he was justly ambitious
of working out to the advantage of
the State, he lias been cut down most
unexpectedly, and all the people will
mourn.
So Pathetic, So Tragic
(Lewiston Journal)
Again—let us call the State of
Maine to «order and bid it stand at
attention, with uncovered head, at the
silent figure of the dead. It is so
pathetic! It is so tragic and
seemingly needless that this brave
, young man should die. It is like
the victor of the Olympic race
tailing at the finish line when all of
his plaudits were awaiting. He had
fought so hard, had endured so much
and gained so nobly and so modestly.
; And for him no trumpets sounding;
| nothing but the peace and the uleep
I and the silences. Let the flags cover
| him and the tears fall and the door
! open into darkness whither they bear
i him away. It is all a memory. God
| alone understands.
■Rarely Lovable Personality
(Boston Herald)
Frederic H. J’arkhurst was a man
who had a rarely lovable personality.
His capacity for friendship was not
that of the scheming politician tact
fully being all things to all men, but
was based on the things that make
friendship worth while. No political
opponent could ever bring himself
really to dislike Air. Parkhurst, any
more than ho could venture to ques
tion his absolute honesty or his
lairness in playing the political game.
He had a genius for political organ

a party worker was he that it has
been a common saying in Alaine that
he could get out a bigger vote for

Firm Conviction, Abiding Faith
(Portland Herald)
Almost without warning the State
of Maine was deprived yesterday of
the services of one whose highest am
bition had been to serve it faithfully
and honorably, one who had for
years had a firm conviction and abid

exciting primary contest achieved his
goal. It was his courage, his fairness

Once he had made a friend he held
him in bonds of affection which noth

It can truthfully be said that in his
death Maine has suffered a distinct
loss. The State had no better citizen
than Governor l’arkhurst. During
an active life he had served Maine
well. The pity of if. is that a greater
opportunity was not given him to
show all that he had in his heart to
