OPINION IS UNANIMOUS
It is stated In the news dispatches
from Washington, as will be seen by
reference to the Journal's columns,
i that government officials are paying
» close attention to the rea<^iftn . of
public opinion on the threatened
paralysis of transportation and that
In some quarters the opnlon was ex
pressed that “the weight of public
opinion wotfld be the determining
factor In averting the strike” or In
bringing It to a speedy close If other
efforts failed to avert It.
So far as this section Is concerned,
It can be safely stated that public
opinion Is practically unanimous on
the subject—solidly In condemnation
of any strike or action by the rail
road employes that would lead to dis
ruption of transportation and through
that absolute demoralisation of busi
ness.
The weight of public opinion may
be felt at the coming conference on
Thursday afternoon In Washington
of the heads of the Big Five brother
hoods with the Railroad Labor Board.
THE AMERICAN BOY
Governor Baxter, in a letter to
Secretary E. S. Martin of the edi
torial board of The Boy Scouts of
America, answering a request tor a
statement of what every American
boy has to be thankful for, gives six
reasons that should be read by every
boy in Maine and In the country. The
Governor says:
“Every American boy should be
thankful:
1. That he Is a boy and that his
future is before him.
2. That he is an American boy
with unlimited opportunities for de
velopment.
3. That he has been given a good
■tart In the fundamentals through
our public school system.
4. That he has within himself the
power of shaping his own destiny.
6. That others have prepared the
way for him and will help if he
proves deserving.
6. That he can make a definite
contribution toward maintaining the
high ideals of American citizenship.
No American boy can read and un
derstand these six reasons without
feeling thankful and proud that he is
an American boy. Ife will bettor
realize and appreciate his opportuni
ties and be better aide to determine
that he will neglect none of them.
The great privileges that are offered
him without fee or price, his for the
mere taking, will begin to take
definite form and real value In his
eyes. And, with the passing of his
boyhood days and the coming of the
sterner realities of young manhood
and mature ago; the pride and thank
fulness of being an American will
continue to grow.
JOBS BEING PROVIDED
The practical benefits resulting
from President Harding’s conference
on unemployment are already being
felt The mayot^and other officials
of local communities have taken
steps to co-ordinate efforts to reduce
the number out of employment; con
ferences have been held with the
chiefs of great national Industries,
like the railroads, mines and ship
ping, for formulating plans for re
lief; great commercial and employ
ers’ organizations are giving their
assistance in the work; several cities
have taken steps for furthering local
construction projects; a permanent
office has been opened in Washington
for stimulating and co-ordinating all
agencies working to the common end;
and a large amount of Information
has been collected from all parts of
the codntry upon which further ef
forts intelligently to reduce unem
ployment may be based.
JUST A PETITION
"Oh, a petition amounts to nothing,
anyone will sign a petition, regard
less what It is for, and many sign
both for and against a question” is
often heard—meaning that petitions
do not have the value they are sup
posed to have. But here is a ease
where one probably saved a man's
life. The item is from a Washington
county paper and proves the case for
the petition:
What might have been a very
serious accident on the state road
happened recently to Walter Cole of
Calais, had it not been for a board
petition intervening a large rock.
He was struck in the side by dyna
mite. As it was he was severely in
jured, but we hope for his speedy re
covery.
"Never sell stocks on strike news”
is an, old and said to be a well
heeded saying in Wall Street. It has
been used many times In the ;past
yttw days and report says that but
very few shares have been offered on
account of coming strike Influence.

CANCER RESEARCH
Leading scientists of the nation are
■ gathering their forces for a concen
trated campaign against cancer which
‘ is to occupy the week from October
29 to November 5 inclusive. During
these six days attempts will be made
to bring all known facts concerning
the disease, Its inception, progress,
treatment, good and bad, to the
popular attention.
Due to be greatly stressed in the
campaign is the existence of the
“quack” whose methods purporting to
eliminate the disease by original
sure-cure treatments are among the
; bitterest weapons which the skilled
scientist has to light. Quack treat
ments, say the authorities, by their
disregard of the methods which
proffer a recognized possibility of
: cure, only serve to hasten the
| progress of the disease until it is be
iyond medical or surgical aid, and the
quack thereupon becomes an active]
and virulent destroyer of human
life.
Age-long is the disease, age-long
has been the fight against it, but:
never as active as at the present
time. Harvard University has re
cently received a legacy of $200,000,
the income of which is to be spent
for research into the origin of cancer j
and the discovery- of a cure. A
cancer-research society in Brooklyn
has announced the offer of a prize of I
$100,000 for a remedy. Other in
centives to persistent pursuit of a
cure are continually being offered.
Science has accomplished so many
wonders in the way of cure for ills
that the flesh is heir to that the goal
towards which the efforts of so many
of our learned and skilled are set,
seems not impossible of attainment.
REAL APPRECIATION
f'orccast of 323,000,000 bushels of
spuds In this year's crop, and 23,000,
C00 bushels of them coming from
Maine. You will be able’to recognize
the tubers from Maine easily. They J
are the large, smooth skinned, mealy i
ones, that melt like cream on the j
tongue and give one that comfortable
after-dinner feeling which, when
topped off with a pipe, carries one to
the zenith of peaceful satisfaction.—
Boston Globe.
Now, that is real appreciation.
Aroostook spud raisers ought in re
turn send you a carload of their best.
Not the 5 pounds, 12 ounces variety
but the kind you mention.
The explanation has come. It ap
pears that the American and Na
tional Leagues, have an agreement to
the effect that players participating
in a World’s Series game shall not
appear as professional ballplayers
from the close of the series until the
opening of the next leagsie season.
Judge Landis says the leagues, not
he, made the rule—liis job is to see
that the leagues' rules and special
laws are enforced and he adds that it
Is the players' own fault Riat the con
dition exists, in not having asked for
a modification of the rule. If Babe
Ruth is big enough ballplayer to be
styled King of the Swats he should
be big enough man to know and obey
the rules of his employers.
Circumstances under which a

PURE BRED HORSES IN MAINE
The horse, one of the most faithful
of man's animal friends, will proba
bly never be extinct, even though
automobiles become as common as
grains of sand, but it nevertheless
seems a fact that we have fewer in
Maine than 10 years ago. That leads ;
to the interesting fact that the entire
State for 1921 had but 299 pure-bred
horses on its farms, being third in
that respect of the New Kngland
states, whose total was 2017, dis
tributed as follows: Vermont, 661;
Massachusetts, 510; Maine, 299; New
Hampshire, 265; Connecticut, 207;
Rhode Island, 76. Maine’s pure
breds included 21 Belgians, 28 Clydes
dales, four French draft, five German
coach, 116 Percherons, nine thorough
breds and 116 of all other breeds. It
will be interesting, watching the rise
or fall of the horse in Maine and New
England with the growth of the
flivver.
Wireless transmission of actual
handwriting is the latest marvel. It
has not only been done but for great
distances, messages being received at
the radio station at Otter Cliffs, near
Bar Harbor, from General Pershing
and Premier Briand. Professor
Edouard Belin, the Inventor of the
machine, personally received the
message. Professor Belin, after the
transmission of photographs by wire
less was an assured fact, went to
France and perfected his apparatus
for sending handwriting in the sdme
manner.
The Bluenose is an appropriate
name for the Canadian challenger for
the international fisherman’s cup but
Elsie is a favorite name over here.
The challenger in the elimination
races off Halifax proved herself a
fine boat—compared with her rivals—
but we never did and do not now be
lieve that she can carry the cup back
home nor do we believe that they
build boats as good and as fast any
where in the world as in New Eng
land.
You never can tell what Chicago
will do next. The story known the
W'orld over about Mrs. O’Leary’s cow
and the Chicago Are was, on the very
eve of its semi-centennial, ruthlessly
killed. The next skip of Chicago Into
the limelight comes in the announce
ment that knickers for women and
knee breeches for men have arrived
there and to stay. Might be worse,
at that.
If conditions are such in the Beike
ley Pre-Vocational School in Boston
as Indicated in Director Forbes’ order
to close it, then the matter should be
probed to the bottom and the diseased
spot removed. The people are not
spending their money by the millions
for the soldiers to have any part of
it wasted or worse in such a manner.
. It is to the credit of the Rumfyd
papermill strikers that they drove
from their hall and caused to be
driven from the towrt a stranger, an
agitator who at one of their meetings
Monday night advocated *and urged

breakers.
The demand of Bank Commissioner
Allen that the stockholders of the de

the just debts must be paid.

A Kan’s Prayer
(From the Postoffice Clerk)
Let me live, Oh, Mignty Master,
Such a life as men should know.
Tasting triumph and disaster,
Joy—and not too much of woe;
Let me run the gamut over.
Let me tight and love and laugh,
And when I'm beneath the clover
Let this be my epitaph;
Here lies one who took his chances
In the busy world of men;
Battled luck and circumstances.
Fought and fell and fought again;
Won sometimes, but did no crowing,
Lost sometimes, but didn't wail.
Took his beating, but kept going,
Never let his courage fail.
He was fallible and human,
Therefore loved and understood
Both his fellow men and women.
Whether good or not so good;
Kept his spirit undiminished.
Never lay down on a friend.
Played the game till it was finished,
Lived a sportsman to the end.

A Bangor man was an eve witness
to an accident in Houlton recently
which illustrates the fact that pedes

blame in encounters with automobiles.
A man started to cross the street from

or left and stepped directly in front of
an automobile which, the Bangor man
thought was not going over 10 miles
an hour. The driver applied his
brakes hut his car skidded along,
pushing the pedestrian a few feet.
The latter was not injured particular
ly but he charged ttje driver of the,
ear with recklessness, etc. The Ban
gor man, reluctant to enter the case,
assured the man that it was his own
fault and as far as learned that
seemed to stop any claim for dam
ages.
This Is a story of a looking: glass, a
Bath young man and a snake, as told
by the Bath Times:
Hector Miller, one of the ushers at
the opera house, had an exciting expe
rience while out gunning Saturday aft
ernoon. He had been on a long tramp
and on his way home spied a little
water snake, and started to play wi(h
the little fellow as he had frequently
done on previous trips into the woods.
Hearing a noise he discovered a good
sized black snake a short distance
away. Dropping the water snake he
started for the larger snake and
reached down to pick him up by the
back of his head which is a sure way
of handling them if one gets a grip.
This time Miller failed to pick right
and before he knew it the snnke had
wriggled out of his fingers and quick
as lightning attacked Miller from the
rear and stuck his fangs in that part
of the body which is without protec
tion except when the party is sitting
down. Miller made a quick trip home’
and gave himself first aid treatment,
reducing the swelling and relieving
the pain. He has no fear of any seri
ous effects. He hopes it is the last of
the series of misfortunes and acci
dents he has been having since the
first of August when he broke a look
ing glas^.
A mild echo comes from the spook
house at North Kennebunkport, the
uncanny spirits being still "on the
job,” says the Biddeford Joucnal. At
least that is the report which ema
nates from the vicinity of the Harri
man cottage. The usual knocking on
the walls of the little girl's bedroom
is still heard and almost rightly.
Booth Tarkington continues to be in
terested in the mysterious manifesta
tions and Frank Parsons, a member of
the prominent New York family of
that name, which sp*ends a good part
of the year at Parsons Beach, is quiet
ly investigating and trying to satisfy
himself that the strange happenings
at the Harriman home are due to nat
ural causes.
An interesting development is the
arrival In Maine of a government
specialist who travels over the coun
try rendering professional services to
veterans of the World war who are
suffering from shell shock. He is
quite certain that the Harriman girl is
an involuntary victim of the ‘'spooks”
and that her peculiar performance can
be traced to a condition of mind and
body for which she is not responsible.
He is reported to have said that he
believes he can cure the girl. This
man is now in Portland and an effort
wlil probably be made to have him
make a visit to the Harriman home
and examine the girl.

Editorial Comment

One Bostonian is going to rua for j

acter, against which reflections have
been made. If this is to be an is3ue
it ought to lot Ponzi in.
Somebody Was Napping
(From the New York Herald.)
Prunes for tjhich the growers are

fornia sell at retail in the Middle

producers are irritated over the dis
crepancy In prices. It will surprise
most persons to find that the enter
prising and capable Californians,
whose cooperative buying end selling j
organizations have so profoundly af- !
feeted the citrus fruit and nut trade, I
have neglected to market the prune
crop under similar conditions.
The Railroad Strike Threat
(From the Springfield Republican.)
The getffiral tendency will be not
to take the strike order very serious
ly. In the long history of conflict be
tween the railroad executives and
the brotherhoods there has devel
oped a well recogrizecl strategy
which might be expressed in a form
ula. The rank and file always vote
overwhelmingly for a strike and then
leave full power with their leaders
who are thus armed to meet the rail- j
road executives on equal terms.
The theory of the brotherhoods,
moreover, is that a bold front in
threatening a strike tends to alarm :
-the public and to force a mobilization j
of public opinion demanding conces- '
sions from the companies. During
the coming two weeks there will be a
battle for the support of public opin
ion. Meanwhile, powerful •govern- j
mental ngepcies will be brought into
play and the strike threat is in for a
hard hammering before it can ma
terialize in the economic catastrophe
which the actualities of a railroad
tie-up would bring upon the country.
This is not to say, however, that pop
ular apprehension may not bo felt in
the markets through the tendency of
housewives to hoard food stuffs and
the disposition of tradesmen and
wholesalers to raise the prices of the
necessaries of life.
The Strike Veto.
(New York Tribune.)
The railroad unions which have
ordered a nation-wide strike are try
ing to impose, a veto on economic re
adjustment. They believe that they
hold a club over the rest of the com
munity through their power -^D tie
up transportation, wholly or par
tially. In support of their own nar
row group interest they are going to
declare war on all other groups of
workers, on farmers and other pro
ducers, on manufacturers and ship
pers, and on the great mass of con
sumers.
The strike Is a piece of selfish
class aggression. War wage scales
have been abandoned in practically
every other industry. The railroad
unions are bent on maintaining
wage inflation at the war peak. In
1916, before President Wilson forced
through the Adamson law, the an
nual labor bill of the carriers wa9
$l,46i?,00n,000. The Adamson law
increased it to $1,739,000,000. The
Federal railroad administration j
pushed It up in 1918 to $2,613,000,- i
P00 and in 1919 to $2.S43.000,000. !
The Railroad I.abor Hoard raised it
again in 1920 to $3,COS,000,000. If
the increased scale of 1920 had been j
in effect during the whole' of that ;
year the 1920 wage account would 1
have totaled $3,980,000,000. Since
1916 the labor cost of railroad oper
ation has Increased 151 per cent.
Since 1917 it has increased 115 per
cent, or, if the last scale had covered
the full year in 1920, 128 per cent.
The unions are striking against
the recent cut in wages authorized
by the Railroad Labor Board. They
are thus challenging the Esch-Ciim
mins law, which gave them a special
protection as to wage status by pro
viding that all controversies over
wages or working rules should be re
ferred to a Federal tribunal repre
senting the roads, the workers and
the public. The Cummins art as the
Senate passed it contained anti- i
strike provisions. These were elimi- j
nated in the conference with the j
House.
A strike against a decision by the
Labor Board, though not prohibited
by tbe statute, amoua's to a declara
tion by the unions that they re
nounce its protection, inasmuch as
they will accept from it no judg
ments which they consider unfavor
able.
The public has a primary interest
In the operation of the carriers. That
Interest has been emphasized again
and again In Federal legislation. >
Continuity of service is essential
under the scheme of government
regulation which has been estab
lished. It must be guaranteed.
Otherwise one of the main objects of
regulation Is defeated.
The unions stand ready to defy;
the law and to inflict stupendous
losses on the public. The power they
have to put an embargo on traffic is
thus a menace to public order and
welfare. Their leaders say that tbe
employee organizations are fighting
for life. They are—but only in tbe
sense that they are fighting in be- !
half of a small minority’s claim to
economic priority. They cannot hope
to establish their small group inter
est at the expense of the com- .
munity’s vastly greater interests.

the .stretches beyond that extend
this highway along a coast of delight
until it reaches Frenchman's Bay. j
Obviously the Improvement of this |
drive, hundreds of miles ir length, is j
a matter of more than local concern, j
Tho bridge at Belfast is a memo- j
rial to the soldiers of Waldo County j
who died in the World War. It is .
not the only bridge of the kind de
signed in memory of New England
lads. There is in process of con
struction tho great bridge at Ports
mouth which will serve to commem
orate the valor of boys of New
Hampshire and of Maine. It is ap
propriate that the two states end the
Federal Government should unite in
this undertaking. The great struc
ture linking New Hampshire and
Maine and the lesser structure at
Belfast will be enduring monuments.
It is fitting that in these sea-board
states there should be such bridges,
standing firmly against the onward
sweep of tide *nd current, typifying
the strength and nobility of the
young men who met death on foreign
fields. And it is not derogatory to
their purpose as memorials to point j
out the value of these bridges to the j
living. That value is enhanced !
many fold by the fact that in addi- I
lion to promoting transportation for
commercial purposes they add to the J
pleasure and inspiration to be ob- I
tained from scenic charm and j
grandeur. There are other oppor- j
Lunities for bridge building along
this New England Shore Drive. The
spfenning of the Kennebec at Bath
has been seriously proposed, and is
feasible from an engineering stand
point. Whether the time will soon
come when it may be brought about,
in view of the great cost it would in
volve is, of course, another question.
Such a bridge, presumably to ac
commodate both highway and rail
road travel, would be a mighty asset
in restoring prosperity to a section of
the Pine Tree State which has suf
rered through the passing of old
time industries. While the Kenne
aec bridge may be an improvement
.hat will not come soon, the Maine
oik should not defer lesser under
akings needed to improve their
;hare of this drive through three
dates. It is poor policy to expose
he traveller to the perils of rough
md rocky roads a few miles from a
iridge costing hundreds of thousands
>f dollars. No reasonable effort
ihould be spared to make the drive
dongshore from Boston to Bar Har
>or of uniform excellence. Maine i
:as made a commendable record in ;
luilding modern highways. It is to 1
