'Americanism is loyalty to |he Aipeu
can flag and the principles for which
it stands; devotion to American
ideals and their application in life
and service; the square deal in al{
business, and the spirit of brother
hood for all mankind."—Prof. J. M.
Burkey, winner of best definition
medal.
WE YET HAVE RESPONSIBILI
TIES
It is Ac quite general conclusion
from such information as could be
Obtained that the administration has
definitely decided not *■ to enter the
League of Nations and that the
Treaty of Versailles is dead. The al
ternative to this policy will be *some
method for putting a technical end
to the state of war existing between
this country and Germany. Presum
ably this will be by resolution, simi
lar to the Knox resolution declaring
the war at an end.
In the absence of preliminary
steps to that end the passage
.of the Knox resolution at this
time, when the German reparations
are in dispute, might be regarded as
unfriendly to our allies. Various sug
gestions as to amending the original
resolution have been made. Many
have thought the passing of the res
olution would be delayed until the
matter of reparations was settled.
What Secretary Hughes had to say
the other day about Germany’s guilt
ought to disabuse the minds of any
intelligent German hyphenates. This
country went into the war with our
allies and it is not the habit of the
American people to quit a job half
done. The undertaking will not be
finished until our allies have settled
with Germany. We have informed
them that our interest in the man
dates and the disposition of the over
seas possessions of Germany is very
much alive.
In view of all these conditions con
tinued negotiations with our allies is
probable and the passage of a resolu
tion is likely to be held in abeyance
until those are had. Next Tuesday
the President will address congress
and he is expected to outline his pol
icy at that time. It is quite clear
that, even if this country keeps out
of the League of Nations and disre
gards the treaty, the administration’s
policy will not be one favoring shirk
ing the responsibilities of the situa
tion or ignoring the duties which
should accompany our decisions to
insist on the proper settlement of the
results of the war which this coun
try helped to bring to an end.
MUCH INCENSED
Some people seem to think that
newspapers are for the purpose of
giving them a chance to express
opinions for which they do not desire
to take the responsibility.—Portland
Press.
Yes, we met one yesterday, though
after one more night of it ave suspect
he ifould call the police on his own
responsibility, swear out a warrant
or something rash like that. You
see he boards at the Augusta House,
and while his sensibilities doubtless
wouldn’t be shocked by a little excess
of half of one per cent, he does insist
that Bleep is a necessity if not a
moral obligation. He appeared quite
disconsolate in thinking of his own
generation. Stid he enjoyed the
noise made by the college boys at
the hotel the other evening; they
were not drunk and knew enough to
stop at midnight. He was proud of
this rising generation but very much
disgusted with the old. Why, he said,
they didn’t begin till they had cashed
in their chips at 2 A. M. and then
whooped it up till 4 A. M. If this
were an attack of second childhood
he thought it reflected unpleasantly
on the kind of training they got in
their flrat childhood.
Yes, he was truly incensed, and
they do say he hadn’t been allowed
4o sleep a wink the night before.
Ex-Governor Milliken, who has
taken charge of the China relief work
in this State, recognizes the urgent
nature of the work he has undertak
en. Now is the time for helping. If
t be starving Chinese may be kept
alive until the harvest a wonderful
thing will have been accomplished.
To do this requires immediate action.
Maine people will not hesitate to
share a few meals with the hungry
but they must do it promptly.
What Boston needs is less throw
ing of brickbats and more laying of
bricks.—Boston Transcript.
Boston needn’t think herself the
least bit exclusive in that need.
‘Anyhow, the Legislature is either
getting ready to adjourn by Saturday
night or is giving a good imitation
of so doing.

A FIGHT TO A FINISH
The reports received at this writ
ing Indicate that the labor troubles
of England have assumed- the char
acter of a fight to the finish for the
control of British industries, labor
being determined to have the say as
to the management and control. As
a representative of the British peo
ple the prime minister has asked
labor to keep the pumps going while
negotiations are going on so that the
collieries might not be flooded and
put out of use for a long period. He
frankly told labor’s representatives
that he considered the industrial ex
istence of the country at stake.
The representatives of ' labor de
clared that they first must have as
surance of their demands being
granted before they would protect
the mines from destruction. Lloyd
George told them their position was
an impossible one. He then went
before the Commons, told what had
occurred and called on the country
to step into the breach and keep the
i pumps going. He declared that with
all means in his power he should en
; deavor to protect the mines.
Later reports tell of 5000 miners in
Wales driving away the men who
i were manning the pumps and hoist
ing the r^d flag. One might infer
they wer^ either ignorant of or
skeptical about the conditions in
Russia, where if miners are needed
they are sworn in as soldiers . and
shot if they refuse to work.
It is thought necessary to place
Plymouth rock in a brick building
which is kept barred and locked. We
had not supposed the crime wave
was so threatening.

Tramps to the fore again! A man
j called at a Bath grocery store on an
afternoon early in the week and asked
the proprietor if he would just hand
him enough tea to make a pot of it
for supper. He said that he had
walked from Massachusetts here
seeking work and that as he had little
money left he was camping or put
ting up at night wherever some kind
farmer would let him in. Unable to
find any work he bemoaned the fact
that he had had to become a hobo,
for he claims he was ready to work
at anything, but there were no jobs to
be had.

Pile Sufferers
Can Ton Answer Thee# Questions?
Do you know why ointments do not
give you quick and lasting relief?
Why cutting and operations fail?
Do you know the cause of piles is in
ternal?
That there is a stagnation of blood
in the lower bowel?
Do you know that there is a harm
less internal tablet remedy discovered
by Dr. Leonhardt and known as HEM
ROID, now sold by Fletcher’s Drug
Store and druggists generally, that is
guaranteed?
HEM-ROID banishes piles by remov
ing the internal cause, by freeing blood
circulation in the lower bowel. This
simple home treatment has an almost
unbelievable record for sure, safe and
lasting relief to thousands of pile sick
sufferers, and saves the needless pain
and expense of an operation. There is
no reason why it should not do the
same for you.—Adv.
MISS POLLIER’S
Friends All Notice Big
Change In Her
Nashua Young Ltdy Says It’s Simply
Wonderful the Way Tanlac Has Sf
Completely Restored Her Health
Miss Eva Pollier, popular young
lady dressmaker for the St. Joseph
Orphanage, Main St., Nashua, N. H.,
is now an ardent champion of the
merits of Tanlac since it has proven
so beneficial to her. Miss Pollier
says:
“Why, even my friends are talking
about the grand improvement in my
condition since I took Tanlac, for I’ve
gained ten pounds in weight and my
color has come back to my fade so
that I look almost like a different
person. Over a year ago I com
menced having stomach trouble, and
it just kept getting worse right on.
I lost my appetite, got to where I
couldn't eat meat or potatoes, and
had indigestion so bad at times the
pains almost set me wild. I was
nervous, couldn’t sleep well, and had
! dizzy, fainting spells when I couldn’t
stand up. My Whole system seemed
to be run down, my blood appeared to
be thin, for pimples came all over
l my face, and my back ached eon
; stantly.
! “AVhile on m£ vacation I went to
| Worcester. Mass., and whilp there I
i heard about Tanlac and commenced
taking it. Well, it is simply wonder
ful the way it has helped me. I can
now eat poptatoes, meats, or just
anything else 1 want without a bit of
trouble, and I sleep so well I always
feel strong and alert. The fact is,
I’m in fine health in eveey way, and
Tanlac gets all the credit for my re
covery.”
Tanlac is sold in Augusta by John
Coughlin; in Weeks’ Mills by J. A.
Merrill; in West Washington by Wal
ter F. Burdick; in China by Bailey
Bros.; in Albion by L. F. Gannon; in

Farm Bureau Gains
Splendid Showing for Year
Ofono, April 8.—A gain of 93 per
| cent in membership over that of a
| year ago is reported by Secretary A.
L. Deering of the Maine Federation
of Farm Bureaus. The total mem
bership of the 14 bureaus has now
reached nearly 10,000.
Kennebec has the largest membec
ship, 1732. It challenged last Decem
ber any two counties , to compete
against it in membership. Some of
the counties talked of joining drives
in the competition but no actual com
bination took place. York ran up to
second place, with a membership of
1020 and Penobscot enrolled 93G. If
with either of these counties Piscata
quis, Cumberland or Aroostook had
joined in accepting the challenge, the
combination would have won out
against Kennebec. Cumberland fin
ished in fourth place, with a total of
858; Piscataquis enrolled 830 and
Aroostook 775.
Somerset made the greatest gain in
numbers. A year ago it was just
getting by the minimum limit of 200
fixed by the county aid statute, but
today it has 507 members. Every
county showed a gain over last year.
Aroostook and Hancock doubled, and
Penobscot nearly trebled its member- j
ship of a year ago.
Hancock, Kennebec, Androscoggin j
and Y'ork arc the oldest bureaus, all
of them having been organized in
1917, in the order named. Oxford is
the youngest, born last fall.

Why It Is Called “The
Greatest Body Builder1’
The reason that Father John’s
Medicine has been called the great
est body builder is because its pure
food elements are so prepared that
those who are weak and run down,
under weight and in poor health, are
ible to take up the nourishment
which it xontains and really make
use of it In rebuilding flesh and
strength.
The system follows nature’s own
nethod in thus establishing normal
flesh and strength. Father John’s
Medicine is not a stimulant and is
guaranteed free from alcohol or dan
Eerous drugs.—Adv.
