For Telling The Truth

Algie T. Davis. who had been en-
ployed as a freight handler at the
Skowhegan station OF the Maine Cen
trail Railroad. las been discharged by
that corporation. He seems TO have
been intelligent and faithful in his
work. but he was incautious enough
to tell the facts about some packages
OF liquor that arrived by freight last
July, and he is now out of job. Mi.
Davis says he was never told to keep
secret the names of parties receiving
liquor shipments. He had seen
statement relative to the matter, is
sued by the Maine Central officials
and he thought it no crime to tell
what he actually knew about the case
in point. What he said was issued
as campaign document and, not long
after it was made public, Davis was
summoned to Portland. questioned by
the railroad officers about the incident,
and dismissed from the service.
The Maine Central Railroad is
public service corporation. 1t is
granted certain rights and privileges
by the state and in return assumes
certain duties and obligations. While
1t is entirely free to employ and dis
charge whom it pleases, its public
character makes its acts, when OBJ
viously unjust subject to general
chandise, concerning which Mr. Davis
gave offense, the whole trend of recent
legislation has been town publicity.
National statute requires that the kind
of liquor a package contains must be
plainly marked on the outside. 1t
must be apparent even to the casual
observer that the box or barrel con-
tains whiskey or coctails, as the case
may be, not sugar or dry goods. Davis
observed these markings as the statute
intended that he or anyone else should.
When questioned about the shipment
liC AOld JUDI W nat it AAS
was certainly transgressing no law.
On the contrary. in a certain sense,
he was aiding the purpose and spirit
of the law, the very intent OF which is
to avoid claudestned shipments of in
toxicants. The Railroad company
could not claim that his action sub
jected them to loss or inconvenience.
His discharge indicates a purpose to
limit independence of thought and
action on the part Of employees to a
dangerous and unwholesome extent.
The State of Maine and Skowhegan
in particular have been very patient
with the Maine Central The ad-
vance of one-fourth cent per mile In
the mileage book rate was accepted
with very little complaint. The re-
duction in time limit for loading and
unloading cars and numerous other
curtailment of privileges have been
received with liberation. We wait
with patience when our streets are
obstructed with shifting engines and
freight cars and we bump over wretch
eddy kept railroad crossings with
charity in our hearts toward
the transportation company that
should keep them in repair.
But we are justice loving
community and the memory of these
various indignities and Inconvenience
adds vigor to the protest we feel call
ed upon to make when We see an
otherwise faithful employee summarily
dismissed because he told the truth

CALL OFF GERMAN
DAY CELEBRATION

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 25.-Ger-
man day, the annual celebration of
the German-Americans which is at
tended by the sons Of the fatherland
from all over Nebraska and parts of
neighboring states, will not be held in
Lincoln this year. At meeting of
the German-American Alliance it was
decided that owing to the gigantic
struggle Germany is now engaged in.
it would not be suitable time to en-
gage in a celebration. Instead, the
thousands of dollars which would be
expended in the three days celebra-
ton, will be sent to the fatherland,
where it will be used for the support
of the widows and orphans of German
soldiers.
For several years the Germans of
Nebraska have annually celebrated
German day, spending the three days
in social gatherings, listening to pa
triotic speeches, and the keeping alive
Of German customs and traditions.
Historical and floral parades have
played an important part in the cele-
bration.
