EMPLOYMENT ON PUBLIC
WORKS
The Senate committee on labor has'
before it a bill introduced by Senator;
Kenton, Monday, designed to provide;
employment on public improvements !
"during a period of major Industrial '
depression and unemployment,'* also, ■
"that a smaller percentage of such
works and projects should be under- 1
taken and prosecuted during a period
when private industry is active and
competing for the same men and ma
terial with resulting business strain
and over-extension, and that the
prosecution of such works and
projects should be utilized as a
stabilizing force during a period of
over-expansion as well as during a
period of depression.”
The bill would have the head of
each executive department "revise
periodically the necessary plans for
nil public works and projects within
his jurisdiction" and be ready for
construction. It would have the Sec
retary of Commerce "prepare and
publish monthly reports as a supple
ment to the current survey of busi
fiess, of the Bureau of the Census, or
otherwise, concerning the trend of
business conditions, the approach of
periods of business strain and over
extension or of perlod| of business
depression. In order that the Presi
dent, the heads of the executive de
partments, the Congress,- Governors
of States and Mayors of cities and
persons engaged in private Industrial
enterprises may properly prepare for
and plan against such periods. The
Secretary of Commerce is Instructed
to transmit, with his recommends- j
tlons, copies of such report to the
President, the heads of departments, j
and to the Congress. In preparing1
his report and recommendations, the
Secretary Is authorised to utilize the
available statstlcs collected or oom
plled by any department, bureau,
office, or agency of the federal gov
ernment or of a State, or by an Indus
trial, banking, labor, or other associa
tion, and he Is authorized to obtain
such additional facts and statistics as
may be necessary to carry out the
provisions of this section.”
The bill further provides that the
head of each department shall be
authorized, upon the advice of the
President, to postpone or reduce pub
lic Improvements ‘‘to prepare for and
to prevent a further rise in the cycli
cal wave of Industrial expansion,” but
one may easily imagine the protests
which would arise among those di
rectly affected by the public improve
ment under consideration. It is not
difficult to see how the head of a de
partment might easily make himself
unpopular, and It isn't in the nature
of such to seek unpopularity. It
would, on the contrary be a strong
bid for popularity to expend money
on public works during a dull sea
son. There accordingly seems to be a
likelihood. In event some such meas
ure receives a passage, that the net
result xe ill be to increase money ex
pended for public improvments. That, !
however, doesn't necessarily condemn j
the measure, and the fault If fault i
there is might be susceptible of cor
rection.
Statistics recently collected show a !
grand total loss in wages, in 1920 and j
1921 of around five billion dollars, j
Some of that was as beneficial as the j
Joss of flesh in cases of obesity. Some
of it wasn't. If the latter could be .
helped in the way suggested most :
would favor the measure of relief.
But considering the unsatisfactory
Rttempts made in foreign countries to
regulate such matters, considering our
own sad and expensive experience :
with Government management. It be
comes eminently proper to give the j
Kenyon bill or any similar proposition J
k very careful examination before
granting approval.
WELCOME WITH GRATITUDE }
A feeling of hostility to the famous !
Austrian orthopedic surgeon, Dr.
Adolph Lorenz, is said to exist In
some quarters because he happens to
be an Austrian. It is probable that
these reports have been exaggerated.
Such an attitude la un-American, un
wise and—silly. He was not a com
battant and had he been. it should
make no difference unless it might
appear as It does not, that he had
been connected with the brutalities of
the central powers.
His phenomenal skill makes him a
world figure and bis wish to apply it
toward relieving conditions in this
country in recognition of the help
given by our people to the starving
of Austria merits sincere approval

JAPAN S NEW REGENT
While it would be difficult to de
scribe, there undoubtedly exists no
mean power of influence inherent in
the position of head of the Japanese
empire. The son of the sick emperor
less than a year ago was sent for a
tour of parts of the world and re
cently returned from a six months’
trip. He is but twenty years old and
at this age when impressions record
deepest he hah been given opportuni
ty to learn how other countries con
duct their affairs. On his return he
is appointed regent. He is said to
have a youth's enthusiasm for dem
ocratic ideals and wishes to come in
contact with his subjects after the
manner of the English royalty.
That he is permitted to so conduct
himself, that he was permitted to go
abroad, help to convince the outsider
that the power of conservatism, of
those restraining forces descended
from the days when the flowery king
dom was sealed against the rest of
the world, are ■wonderfully changed.
The spirit of exclusiveness has un
dergone great changes since the sibyl
enjoyed the seclusion of the Cumaean
crypt and enhanced her power by
secrecy, but nowhere so swiftly as
in Japhn. It is conducive to confi
dence, but mischief is yet furtive and
the oriental mind seems very adapta
ble to the ways of secrecy.
An Impression which is gaining
ground is that Premier Craig of Ul
ster and President DeValera are
both thinking more of their jobs than
of the peoples they assume to repre
sent.
Those alleged representatives of
China at the Conference may be in
for an embarrassing half hour if called
upon to show- just -what and whom
they represent.
Wireless messages have been suc
cessfully sent from Wales to Austra

land are vet in had shape.

Sweet Memories
How fair are the setnes as sweet
mcm'rios unfold them,
Of the old childhood heme in the
years that s rolled by.
And deep in the heart we so 'endcrly
hold them.
In life's sweetest fancys so fondly
they lie.
There's a light softly gleams, where

Darken the pathwajs of life's early

In our heart, fondly beams, loved

Bring us sweet moments of the days
that are gone.

' “Our clerk has fallen by the way -'
side. We attended his wedding last
evening.” smilingly said Judge Lauren
M. Sanborn at the opening of the
superior court Friday morning in
Portland, as he noted the absence of
Clerk Walter M. Tapley, Jr., and any
i thing but annoyance was in his tone.
Mr. Tapley and Miss Olive \V. Barker
were married Thursday evening in
itho Friends church.
Mrs. Elvira Lane, aged Sf> years,
who died early Friday morning at her
home in Bangor, was a native of Dex

Leading Odd Fellows of New Eng- '
land are warm In their support of
Leon S. Merrill of Orono, dean of the ]
Agricultural College, University of'
Maine, as a candidate for deputy i
grand sire at the Sovereign Grand
Lodge next September in Detroit. The
election would make him the unop
posed nominee for grand "sire, at the
close of his term as deputy. Mr.
Merrill has long been active in Odd
Fellowship, having for the past 16 1
years been on the committee on leg- j
islation of the Sovereign Grand Lodge
and for the past six years chairman. I
Maine never had a grand sire and
New England has but once.
Herbert J. Leeman of Woolwich
was just as near to a genuine meteor j
Friday morning as he cares to be, yet;
he probably would not swap his ex
perience for a large sum. He had
started about 5.45 for the ferry and
noticed what he judged was a "shoot
ing star" but was surprised when the
pesky thing headed toward him and
was coming right along. He was al
ready to duck when it passed him at
about 100 yards distance and headed
for the Cleveland Wright field. When
about 15 feet from the ground it burst
into a thousand fragments—but he
didn’t stop to investigate. He
described it ns about the size of a
two-bushel basket.
Engineer Hilton McLaughlin of the 1
hydro-eljectric plant at Whiting, which I

Editorial Comment
Another Side to Labor
(Public Ledger)
Organized labor i3 showing itself In
protean forms in these strenuous
days of new adventures in industry.
The forms range from threats of na
tion-vrife strike in the interest of
wages to constructive efforts of an
upbuilding kind. For the latest of
these the employes of the Boston
Navy Yard have supplied an exam
ple. The Navy Yard is lowest bidder
by $1,802,000 on the proposal to re
condition the giant steamer Levia
than. But the objection has been
made against awarding it the work
that a Navy Yard cannot give a
guarantee against cost exceeding the
estimate.
The employes of the Navy Yard
want that job done there. If it is,
something like 3000 of them would be
kept busy for art least a year. So
they set about thinking how they
.could clinch their position as lowest
bidders. Their answer was to vote
that a certain percentage of their
wages be set aside regularly to form
a guarantee fund. If the contract is
not executed at the figure estimated,
this guarantee fund may be drawn
on. Mayor Peters, of Boston, has no
tified Secretary of the Navy Denby
and'Chairman Lasker, of the Ship
ping Bomd, to this effect, adding that
lie considered this “one of the most
notable and impressive actions ever
i taken by a labor body.” The fact*
that organized labor can undertake
constructive action? of this kind lays
upon it responsibilities of no mean
weight in connection with actions of
another sort, for which it is sorr.e
i times better advertised.
All Aboard Promises to bo a
Record Breaker—Large Cast
and Chorus
The big musical production All
i Aboard, which the local talent of
i Belfast has been rehearsing for the
past ten days, is nearly ready for
1 presentation, and promises to be a
record breaker. It will be given in
the Colonial theatre on the after
noon and evening of Dee. 7th under
the auspice3 of the Univeisafict
league and the personal direction of
Miss Laura, Musiek, of the John B.
Losers Producing company. Mua- i
ickl Isn’t that a lovely name for a
young lady director? She is all that
her name implies, too. and she has
taken a good deal of raw material 1
and made it into a finished product,
as the show will testify. Of course
all her material is not raw, not by1
any means, for she ha3 some of tiro
most talented and experienced young j
musicians and Uancei'3 in the city in
the cast. The following are the
principals:
Billy Brady, a college boy,
Charles A. Hammons; Dorothy, hi3
sister, Mrs. Jellie Hart Allen; John
ny Thdmas, college, chum of Billy,
Harold McKeen; Beatrice Sloane,
friend of Dorothy, Miss Hazel
Hcald; Mrs. Sloane, her mother,
Mrs. Lillian M. Pattee; Capt. Kidd,
of the S. S. Florida, Walter J. Clif
ford; Jennie, the stewardess, Mrs.
Henry Smith; Barney Kohl, a comic
sailor, Claude Clements; Bull Works,
a comic sailor, Carroll Snow Par
ker; Alexander C. Phome, a human
truck, George Elmdorf; passengers,
sailors and guests.
The show is in two acts and the
scene is laid on the steamship Flor
ida, bound for Pleasure Bay. The
plot hinges on a set of false teeth.
Fancy! Not very poetic to be sure
but yet it has been so woven that
It is execdingly funny and many
side-splitting situations arise from
it. Billy, the college boy, with his
sister and his chum and her chum
are all on this southern sea voyage.
Both young men are in love with the
I same girl but Billy having had sev
eral front teeth knocked out in a
football game, can hardly make love
in the face of such disaster so has
some false ones put in. In some
way he manages to lose them or
swallow them and then in his des
peration he steals all the false teeth
on board the ship in a vain endea
vor to get a set which will fit him.
His chum to make matters worse in
terferes and tries to prevent him
getting them and—well that is part
of the plot. It is a scream from
start to finish and much comedy is
furnished also by the sailors, Bull
Works and Barney Kehl.
The dancing girls in many groups,
the children in pretty little steps
and figures will also form a big
part on the attractive ensemble and
about 100 will take part in the pro
duction.
Dexter Agrees On
Sunday Laws
Bangor. Me., Nov. 26. — Deputy
Sheriff James J. Long has returned
from Dexter, where he investigated
certain conditions in regard to Sunday
business on representations of the

stricter observance of the day. The
matter was easily adjusted with the
storekeepers and others concerned

and it is believed that there will f>e
little to complain of in the future.
The usual chicken shoot on Thanks
giving eve was stopped and an under
standing was reached concerning the
hours for drug stores, etc., which
seemed to be satisfactory to ell con
cerned. No spirit of antagonism was
shown and no one objected to doing
what was asked.
