HousehoIders Store Coal.
(Bangor Commercially


The anthracite coal operators have
found il wise policy to allow dis
counts from the circular prices during
the spring in order to induce con-
sumers to buy their supplies OF coal
during the summer months. The
householder's cellar bins, widely dis
tributed and filed with coal, thus be-
come a great reserve storage. Because
of this policy there has been a mark
ed increase in the number of working
DAYS the employees have been able to
make and the shipments of coal have
been more uniform throughout the
twelve months of the year. From 1897
to 1901, the year in which the spring
discounts went into effect, the mean
average time worked in the anthracite
region was 179 days. Since 1902 the
average number of working days has
fallen below 200 in only one year, 1906,
when there was a long suspension
pendjne the renewal of wage contracts.
In 1918 it was 257.
In 1913 the railroad shipments OF an
thracite coal amounted to 6s,06s,o2S
long tons, of which "a, ,619 tons, or
50.3 per cent. were sent out during
the winter months, and 34,S62.O0 tons
or 4g.7 per cent, in the summer
months. the difference between winter
and summer shipments being less than
$4,000 tons.

We suppose that the Lewiston Jour

political opponents and to say nothing
concerning them that is either untrue
or only half true. which latter is
worse than an untruth.
For that reason we suppose that
when it holds up Gov. William 7.
Haines as not being a supporter of the
prohibitory law and in proof of this
cites the fact that he appointed j.
Fred OConnell as sheriff of Penobscot
county it inadvertently omitted to
make mention Of the fact that the
Governor also appointed three other
sheriffs, each one of whom has en-
forced this law as il has never before
been enforced in the State.
And in forgetting to make mention
of these appointments the journal
could not of course state the fact that
one of these sheriffs, Mr.. stevens has

forced the law and the other, Mr.. Gra-

Every Day Is Flag Day
New York WORLDLY

That so few people and institutions
observed Flag day even to the extent
of flying the flag from their premises
is evidence of the extent to which pup
lie observances and ceremonies are
overworked among us. We have now
had by legislative enactment or con-
gressional recommendation so many
special days set apart that they ex-
coed the attention most people can
give them.
There Is, moreover, no pressing rea-
sen for giving particular note TO any
day in honor to the flag, 1t has It's
place in the glory of the Fourth OF
July. the solemnity of Memorial day
and the gratefulness of Thanksgiving.
Ne sort of festival or pageant is held

pired, pending the result of Lees last
invasion of the North, which culmlnat-
ed in the battle of Gettysburg. | en-
close the Governors reply to that let
ter which / would like to have you
print, which should satisfy every rea-
sonable man that it was not the Gov
errors province to decide who should
or should not be included in the con-
tingent sent, but was conditioned en-
tirely on the amount of the appropr1a-
ton, and the conditions attached there
to.
Gov. Haines has shown his kindly
feelings for the veterans of the Civil
war and his appreciation of their SER
vices on every proper occasion, and to
accuse him of injustice to any of them
is a gross wrong.

Togus
The Togus chimneys were con-
structed all too low for burning btu

The anthracite coal must be deliv-

at Togus short of $3.50 or $500 per

AS the Kennebec river is not nav

chances for cheating the government
are very great.
II has been proposed in the Nationai

Don't Oyerwork on Your Vacation

TAKE your vacation easy. Don't
spend it in laborious pleasure seek
ing"
That is the text of commendable
article in Pictorial Review for July.
The text is enough if each would take
II to heart and carefully analyze it
and adapt ii to his or her own case.
How many OF us exhaust our nervous
and physical energy hunting for pleas
ure. How many of us pity ourselves
into vaeat ions that do us more harm
than good. How many of us on our
vacations give our selves no time for
rest or relaxation.
The writer of the article referred to
says:
There are different ways of relaxing,
different forms of a little pleasure
which may mean so much in restoring
body and soul TO normal conditions.
Relaxation is best acquired through
change The wife of the farmer who
finds herself blessed with a weeks va
cation. will not gain much by visiting
a relative or friend on another farm,
because, during her visit she will see
the same round of work and perhaps.
help with it. A change of cooking is
not enough. She needs change of en-
yironment. If she has relatives in the
city, let her visit them. She will find
relaxation. amusement, just in the way
her city hosts keep house. 1t will rest
her eyes to have the confined and
narrow horizon of city buildings, in
stead of the broad sweep of farm
lands. The very hustle and rush of
city life viii rest her after the dull
routine and silent nights on the farm.
Contrast is restful.
For the same reason, the city man
or woman who really wants a vaca-
ton, who honestly desires to relax and
rest will fling himself into the woods.
or take an ocean voyage, or live on a
farm. A hard worked, successful New
York woman was recently invited to
spend her vacation at an ocean resort
famous for its board walk shops. She
declined with thanks.
why should I go? would not rest.
I would eat the same food I have in
New York, meet the same people, and
even spend my money in the same way
at the same kind of shops"
She had the right idea. Vacation
means change. Relaxation means
change. They both mean the use of a
new set of muscles and a new outlook.
Plan your vacation so that it will
give you change of scene, change of
action, change of companionship-but
don't wait for your vacation to relax.

Editorial Comment.
Bryan's Treaties.
portland Press. J

e. AS was to have been expected Sec
rotary Bryan did not meet with a very
cordial reception when he appeared
before the Senate committee on for
eign affairs and presented his Colon
bian and Nicaraguan treaties. Not only
did the Republicans assume a hostile
attitude toward the Colombian treaty
but some or the Democrats did as well.
The features of the Colombian treaty
which excited criticism were the apol-
ogy which this country makes to
Colombia for the part we took in the
secession of Panama and the appro-
priation of s25,00o,000 to be paid
Colombia within six months after the
ratification of the treaty.
Mr.. Bryan urged immediate ratifica-
ton but he did not get much encour-
agement that the instrument would
be ratified Immediately or at any other
time.
The Nicarasuan treaty carries an
appropriation of 100000 for the
right of way for a canal across the
territory of that country. 1t carries
with it sort of protectorate of the
republic and it was to the protectorate
feature that objection is made.
1t is hardly possible that either of
these treaties will ever be validated
for it would require the full Democrat
ic strength to put them through and
this the secretary of state will not be
able to command. But whether he
secures the ratification of the treaty
or not Mr.. Bryan has accomplished
one thing he set out for and that is
the implied reproof of a Republican
president. How much that will help
him if his reproof is rejected by a
part of his own party may be judged.
