The mayor through his personal organ
proposes flag of truce. A flag of truce
from an honest foe is entitled to recog-
milton; but not when treachery turks in
its folds and it is merely a mask for the
black flag of piracy. The position of
The Journal was thus clearly defined in
the issue of April IA, 1910:
So long as the mayor continues his
guerilla warfare upon the business men
and property owners of Belfast; so long
sa he persists in Hansonizing our local in
situations and pursues his policy of pro-
scription against everyone who does not
do him homage or pay him tribute; so
long will the people thus assailed find
defender in the paper he has boasted he
would drive out of existence, and which
mob of hisfollowers undertook to des-
troy after his elect ion two years ago.
The issue was not made by The Journal,
but was forced upon it. It remained 81
lent when the mayors acts and utter
ances called for rebuke, until forbearance
ceased to be virtue, and it would have
been false to its trusts, to. the cause of
good citizenship, to the welfare of our
city, had it remained silent longer. In
his inaugural address, 1907, the mayor
said:
n ''The political warfare is now ended
and so far as possible we should forget
its strife, and realizing our responsible
ity, work together for the best interests
Of all.
Gas the servants of our fellow
citizens we should have no enemies to
punish or friends to reward, etc.

The Sd district Republican convention
which met in Augusta, Tuesday, June

A Portland correspondent of the Bos-
ton Globe says: "There was good
natured contest for the Democratic CUB
ernatorial nomination between Obadiah
Gardner, the last nominee, and Colonel
Plaisted, two of the most popular Demo-
Gratis in the Pine Tree State" This is
fair sample of the transformation, to use
the mildest possible term, that we may
expect to find in the Democratic news
papers from now until the polls close
next September. The readers of the
Globe may be deceived, but the voters
of Maine are not to be fooled. They
know that the contest was bitter one;
that every effort was made the night
before the convention to secure the with
drawal Of Gardner, and failing that to
compromise on the nomination of Chas.
F. johnson of Waterville. But Mr.. John
son would not allow his name to be used
and Gardner refused to be "driven from
the party by a man who had been himself
driven from the Republican party" and
his vote in the convention was an I'M
pleasant surprise to the party bosses. In
another paragraph the Globe correspond
ent speaks of Mr.. Gardner as "the head
of the Maine State Grange" a position
he has not held for three years.

The people of Searsmont, irrespective
of creed or party, are said to be justly
indignant at the malicious attacks made
upon Hon. Robert F. Dunton by So
called comparison paper of this city.
Mr.. Dunton was born in Searsmont, but
he is not more highly regarded and re-
spected in his native place than in the
city that has been his home for many
years and in which he has the respect
and confidence of all good citizens.

On the eve of their county convention
the Democrats found unusual difficulty in
securing candidates for the important
offices. The nominations for senator and
for sheriff literally went begging. A
Belfast correspondent of the Boston
Globe, after announcing that mayor
Hanson was entirely out of politics, Z"
said: MANY expect that the convention
will make no nomination for sheriff, on
the ground that it would be better to do
that than to put up a weak candidate
against Sheriff Amos Carleton, who will
not only have the full Republican vote,
but will draw from the Democratic side. y
As to mayor Hanson's position the indi-
cations were that the party leaders had
had enough of him. Edwin Jenkins of
Monroe was finally prevailed upon to
accept the nomination for sheriff, with
the certainty of defeat before him, and
w. S. Pendleton of Islesboro to accept a
denomination for senator after others
had declined to enter the race. Hon.
Obadiah Gardner gave the history of his
controversy with W. R. Pattangall, in
which he excoriated that versatile gen.
tleman numerically. He also fully ex-
planned his position on the wild lands
question and showed unmistakably that
he deeply feels the indignity put upon
him by the Democratic bosses. Before
his time came to speak wheelbarrow
load of Waterville Sentinels, the paper
which bore conspicuous part in Gard
ner's undoing, was distributed among
the delegates. "And still the williams
pursued him."

Nebraska, his home State, some time
ago rerudiated Bryan as leader and in
their State convention at Columbus last
Thursday the Ohio Democracy set it's
face against four years more of Bryan
Leadership with an emphasis which justi-
fes the belief that similar tests of
strength elsewhere would show that the
Nebraskan has lost his grip in every
State where the party is virile. The
Washington Post says:
The reputation administered to the
policy of boss or bust Thursday at Co.
lumbus wholly emancipation Democracy
from the dictation of the greatest organi-
yer of disruption and defeat in our politi-
cal history. In making it's choice be-
tween Harmon and Bryan, the Ohio De-
mocracy has done itself proud. In lieu
of Bryan, the marplot, it raises the
standard of Harmon, the harmonizer,
and thereby once more makes success
possible

How have the principles thus proclaim
ed and the pledges thus implied been OBJ
served? When put forth, they were &C.
cepted at their face value, and it cannot
be truthfully said that there was any
factious opposition from The Journal.
As events proved the mayor was treated
with more courtesy and consideration
than he deserved. He has chosen to re-
gard as enemies, and sought to punish,
all who did not vote for him, agree with
him on public questions, or patronize his
personal organ; and he has rewarded his
friends by turning better men out of Of
flee. He has carried his personal politics
into the schools, the public library, the
cemeteries, and into all the departments
of the city government. He has attack
ed the business interests of Belfast, its f.
nancial institutions, it's professional and
business men, and is commonly referred
to as a frebrand and a menace to the
welfare of our city. It is not case
which calls for arbitration.

the Louisville and Nashville and South
selves are wholly insufficient to pro-
vide reasonable return upon the value
of their investments and the companies
are in no condition to stand a further
reduction, as provided by the Alabama
statutes of over 100000 per annum.
The Age-Herald seems to think that
this case will be prolonged for many
years in the courts and that the rail-
roads will finally find themselves worn
out with litigation and will throw up
their hands A loss of over $400,0 dis
tributed among the people of the state
Is only about % cents each and as to
shippers Is negligible quantity, but
concentrated upon these two carriers
1t reaches important proportions. The
Age Herald seems to be singularly mis-
informed as to the general history Of
litigation of this character. Rates fixed
by legislature have been held to be
by the final judgment of the courts
unreasonable and therefore unconsti-
tutfonal in the following states: Me-
brasla. South Dakota, North Dakota,
Missouri, Pennsylvania, Arkansas,
Texas, Oklahoma and others.
No matter what the final outcome of
these cases may be. the Louisville and
Nashville and the South and North
Alabama Railroad companies believe
they have acted fairly and Justly with
the people of Alabama, and that they
are entitled at least to the same meas
ure of justice that would be afforded
the humblest citizen in the state, and
they confidently expect that their
cases are to receive fair trial, I'M
influenced by outside clamor.

; Operations in Alabama.

Operations in Alabama.
In 1885 the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad company operated in Alabama,
exclusive of the South and North Ala
bama, 800 miles of railroad. Today 1t has
l060, or an increase of more than $50 per
cent. This additional mileage has, in
Guiding the equipment and necessary
working capital, been built at an expense
of nearly $780, 600 goo. To this figure several
millions have been added by the South
| and North Alabama. Most of the lines
constructed are branch roads. such as the
| Birmingham Mineral the Alabama Min
| sral, the Southern Alabama, the Myrtle
wood branch, and the Alabama and Flor
ida. These branch lines, which constitute
the larger portion of the value and cost
of the road in this state, have not earned
interest upon the bonded debt, after pay
Ing operating expenses and taxes, to say
nothing of depreciation. Some of them in
many years have not earned operating
eexpenses and taxes alone In these lines
just named the intra business predomi-
mates. Comparing the actual results on
all business on the main line from July
/, 1906, to June 30 1909 inclusive, period
of three years, we find the operating ex
pense ratio, including taxes. to be GIT
cents on the dollar of revenue, as against
1925 cents on the dollar of revenue on the
Alabama Mineral, the Birmingham Min
the intrastate business largely predomi-
mates.
This fact, in ITSELF proves what is
testified to by all the experts and has
been proven substantially without con-
f1ict in all rate cases. that the relative
cost of earning a dollar is much great
err In the intrastate business than in
the interstate business.
The South and North Alabama rail-
road since it's completion in 1872 has
had an average annual net income of
1884, S71.14, as against which 1T was
compelled to pay an average annual in
terest upon it's bonded debt of $780,
712.9S, and an annual average pay
ment to sinking fund of $75,762.3s. In
other words, it has failed to earn its
fixed charges, or the interest upon it's
bonded debt annually on an average
by $4,000. and including it's sinking
fund 1t has shown an average annual
deficit of over $3.50, 900. Taking It's aver
age valuation during this period at
$11,954.736.S9, which is far less than
its tax valuation computed upon a so
per cent basis, and only about one
half its present actual valuation. its net
annual earnings upon all business on
the rates charged by the railroad COM
pany up to April 1, 1907, and on statu-
tory rates since that date are only 3.22
per cent.
If no allowance whatever is made Tor
the difference in cost between the in
terstate and intrastate business the
rates which return only this small
percentage upon the valuation of the
property conservatively fixed would GER
tainly not be unreasonable or extor-
tionate. To reduce these rates 1t seems
to me would be unjust and unreason-
able. But when to this Is added the
additional cost of earning a dollar, 1t
is manifest that the rates, charged by
