The dove of peace has apparently

mayor gotfback from trip to Wash

down with a bang.
Although as a newspaper man Mr..
Pattangall was particularly free to

The only real significance to the
whole controversy is the all-round
admission that the Elks. Eagles and
Owls clubs of Waterville are or at

nuisances. u. S. licenses have been
taken out by them all, and the gem

not long survive a cessation of their

think when they see the business and

Editorial Comment
"RUMFoRo WILL BE WIPED OUT
IL the Reciprocity Bill AS Framed Is
Passed" Says John Malin.

At the convention of the Maine
state Federation of Labor. held In
Bangor Tuesday, John II. Maln of
Fort Edwards, N. Y. international
president of the Pulp. Sulphite and
Paper Mill Workers, made a speech in
opposition to reciprocal trade relations
with Canada. He said In part;
We are not getting square deal
from the newspaper publishers. Look
at the Mcnamara case. Whether the
man is guilty or not, we condemn the
governor and officials In kidnapping
him.
Now as to reciprocity: we believe
1t to be detrimentai; first It is not a
fair proposition. The Canadian gov
eminent refuses to permit corporat
tons to ship timber off the crown
lands for the manufacturers of pulp:
the pulp must be made in Canada
Ana so we are opposed IL the bill
passes. the towns of Rumford, MILL
hocket. Livermore Falls, Madison and
other places in the country dependent
on the paper industry will be wiped
out.
The paper mill workers in New
England and New York state have
an eight hour day and make 80 per
cent. more in wages than those in
Canada. This means. IL the bill pre-
walls, that the mills will be transport
ed to Canada"
Mr.. Malin concluded with denunci-
alton of corporations and asked that
reciprocity be opposed or at least that
portion which appertains to the pulp
question.
Mr.. Malin is right. we believe, as
far as the paper industry is concerned.
But in the case of Rumford. we don't
belieVe that this town would be wiped
out by the passage of the bill To be
sure. the present only industry would
be annihilated, but isn't it likely that
Mr.. Chisholm, who has SO much
money invested here. would ACQUIRE
the mill buildings and install other in
dustries which would give employment
to as many and perhaps more people
than the paper business does now?
We believe in Rumford: we believe in
Mr.. Chisholm's loyalty TO the village
that he founded; we believe that
Rumford Falls will live and prosper
even if Taft succeeds in ACCOMPLISHING
his purpose of crushing one of the big
gest industries in the world. Editor. |

The Catholic church seems to be
taking quite as decided a stand as tho
Protestant denominations against the
saloon. Rev. A. P. Doyle in a recent
issue of the Catholic Opinion says:
The church says Sunday is the
Lords day to be given to rest and re-
ligion. The saloon claims it as its
day to be given up to rioting and de-
bauchery. The church calls 1t Sun
day. the saloon makes 1t sin day."
The Paulst fathers. who are giving a
series of lectures at the Sacred Heart
church in waterville, have come out
strongly in favor of prohibition.

the main causes of the French Revolution.
