NEEDED; THE COURAGE TO FACE
PEACE.

War is ruinous, but nations honor
is more precious than its wealth. This
is the plea of the militarists in defense
OF arms None would deny the state
ment, but how does it bear on the
question? Seemingly, then nations
are two centuries and more behind the
people of which they are composed
A man may preserve his honor to the
full and never touch a weapon in his
life. The man today who bases his
claim for respect on his physical pow
er is not called gentleman, he is call

For centuries mems minds have
been befogged with this hopeless con
fusion between honor and violence
Yet honesty, courtesy and courage,
too. have not grown less since dueling
was abolished. 1t is preposterous that
nations should cling to an outworn
tradition which, among civilized peo-
pies, has otherwise been cast aside as
barbarous.
Treaties, according to the militar-
lists, may not be trusted. Of course
not, just SO long as nations are in a
position to defy them. The law is no

The world is filled with men who are

monwealth has this right It can take for public use any property within it's Borders and perhaps the interest of any citizen of Massac achusetts in property wherever situated, but a certificate of shares in the Boston and Maine railroad represents property situated in other states, in which that corpora tion is incorporated as we'll as in Massachusetts. and it is by no means clear that such shares belonging to citizens of other states can be taken by Massachusetts. New Hampshire and Maine would have the same right and all could not exercise it. The pro- vision under discussion, if the New Haven company accepts it by acting under it, may be held to establish a right by contract to take the shares, and the directors do not feel justified in making the company party to any such contract, which would at once place it's shares at disadvantage in the market in comparison with the shares held by the public.
 ''The directors recognize fully, that the legislature of Massachusetts must protect the interest of it's citizens in every way that seems to it wise, but on the other hand the directors are bound to conserve the interests of the

stockb elders whose trustees they are, and in no spirit of antagonism but with the most sincere reluctance they have unanimously reached the conclu- sion that in attaching this condition to its consent the legislature has made ir impossible for the New Haven company to carry out it's agreement with the federal government, since it prevents a sale of the Boston & Maine shares except at a ruinous sacrifice, and at the same time interposes the greatest difficulties in the way of financing properly the Boston & Mane company.
 Cannot Proceed.
 For these reasons the directors, with entire respect, must adhere to the conclusion which they have al- ready declared, that they cannot pro- ceed under this act.''

The liver is usually quiet, unassum- ling organ and we do not think much about it. It has, however, protective functions that should command respect.

If these poisons enter in- |to the circulation of the blood biliousnees Tor sick headache results.
 Regularly the liver is able to destroy |these toxic bodies but if it lags in its work |they quickly form in amounts excessive |enough to be troublesome.

The remedy is to stimulate the liver by Ehe use of Pinklets, the gentle laxative bills that do not gripe or purge but simply essist nature. Harsh laxatives and salts
 often do harm by aggravating the condi- lions they arc taken to correct. Pinklets,

NEW HAVEN DIRECTORS
 FIRM IN FACE OF SUIT
Board Refuses to Accept Agree ment Concerning B. & N. Road.

New York, July 9.-Although men, aced with the institution of a gov ernment antitrust suit for the dis solution of the New Haven railroad system, the directors of that road in statement to the stockholders clared that the New Haven cannot carry out its March agreement with the department of justice providing for the appointment of liquidators for the Boston and Maine because of the conditions attaching to the sale passed by the Massachusetts legisla- ture on Tuesday.
 The resolution adopted follows:
 .To reafHrm the conclusions set forth by the board of directors in its statement of June 25 regarding Massachusetts legislation then pend ing and now adopted.
 t.sro express our regret to the at torney-general of the United States that the conditions on which the Massachusetts legislature is willing to permit the company to carry out its agreement with the department of justice are SO different from anything which was. contemplated at the time of the original agreement that the board has not the right to accept them; and that they involve such se- were :and apparently unnecessary loss that it ought not to recommend or expect their acceptance by the stock holders themselves"
 A copy of the foregoing resolutions was forwarded to Attorney General McReynolds.
 Statement of June 25. The statement issued by the direc- tors on June 25 was as follows: Shortly after the change in the management of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad com pany. which was effected on Septem- ber 2. 1918, MT. Elliott learned that the attorney-general of the United States felt it his duty to bring suit against the company under the Sher- man law for the purpose of ending the combination of railroads, steam ship. lines and trolley lines which, in his Judgment. created a restraint of trade in New England.
 '-The management of the New Ha- i ven company. while not agreeing with the attorney-genera1 in his construc- ton of the law. was anxious. not to en- gage in conflict with the United States, and therefore sought to reach an agreement with the attorney-gen- eral which would avoid 1t. After protracted negotiation. in which the governor of Massachusetts and MT. Anderson, a member of the Massa-
New Britain herald., 1914-07-09

New Haven company must be con- served. and not sacrificed, and chat the dissolution of the system should not be forced in such a manner as to injure the company unduly.
 "All parties, including the governor and MT. Anderson, approved the agreement which was finally made and it was ratified by the stockhold- CTS of the New Haven company. The directors have been at all times and still are anxious to carry out this agreement.
 Directors Adopted Statement.
 When it was proposed that the Massachusetts legislature should in- troduce a new term into the agree ment by attaching to its contract the condition which is found in the law just passed, the directors of the New animous vote adopted a statement in which they declared that they could not consent to the transfer of their stock in the Boston Holding company to the liquidators agreed upon with the governor and attorney general of the United States, if the sale of the
 
 subject to such a condition, for the reason that it makes the shares un- saleable and places the company in a worse position than if it were com pelled to sell them by decree of the federal court after the decision of all questions against the company. The directors felt that they had no right to let this valuable asset, pur- chased at great cost with the full con- sent of Massachusetts be sacrificed and that in their agreement with the United States they had reached the limit of possible concession.
 Tt is said that the company has already consented to provision i'll the acts creating the Holding com pany which forbade the sale of the Boston and Maine shares without the permission of the commonwealth, anu that it should not now object to the continuance of the control thus given. The answer is that the company gave it's consent in return for an agreement by the commonwealth that it might acquire and hold these shares and through such holding make the Boston and Maine railroad part of the New Haven system. It was then the expectation on both sides that the union of the two systems would be permanent and in that belief the agreement with the commonwealth was made. The United States now insists that this contract of merger was illegal and that the New Haven company must sell all it's interests Tn the Boston and Maine railroad in order that the union between the two systems shall be absolutely dissolved. The commonwealth cannot, therefore, carry out the contract on it's part and it should not insist that it remains binding on the New Haven company. It is not just to retain the price when it cannot give that for which the price was paid.
 No New Power. ''It is said that the provisions give the commonwealth no new power since the shares can always be taken by eminent domain. If this is true the condition is unnecessary. But it Is at least very doubtful if the com-

But one Of the sharpest criticisms is that aside from these direct appropriations and authorizations the bill under what Senator Burton of Ohio calls its

 the relative importance of the river as a carrying road has steadily dwindled. This particular stretch of river at issue in this item is 206 miles long, with an annual freight tonnage of e50,000. The appropriation for this work this year is $1,0OO,000, or $4 ton.
