Save the White Way!

The Brunswick White Way asso-
citation finds itself in rather an en-
barrassing position and ii is just as
well that we talk out plainly on the
subject in order that the public might
know the actual situation. AS is well
known this association is merely
acting for the public veal; II was not
formed for the purpose of earning
money, but merely to act as sort
of clearing house for its members. 1t
now finds that vast percentage of
business houses who made contracts
with il have not lived up to those
contracts. that the association Is due

against its members for service
amounting to more than $1,000 The

and have aided every firm and every
individual who entered into the prop
osition. Now then, the Mutual Light

collect from its people in order to
keep the service which has grown
in popularity and which is a great
asset TO the business section of the
city. AZ a meeting of the directors
held yesterday Il. j. Loback was
elected treasurer and he is going TO
make very earnest effort to collect
these back dues. Without their col.
lection the service will have to be
discontinued and Brunswick will be
without this splendid civic improve
ment The News is therefore urging
those who are indebted TO the asso-
citation to make very strong effort
TO liqudate that indebtedness when
the treasurer calls On them.
Civic pride ought to serve as a
stimulant in this matter and those
who justly owe this money ought 10

prevent the city from being placed in
the humilia,ng attitude of being de-
priyed of this splendid service and
convenience.
We can save this White Way and
we must do il.

Money, Labor and Prosperity.


There are two things which. more
than anything else, mean prosperity
They are plenty Of money and the ful
employment " labor. The outlook in
both Of these respects is surprisingly
good.
The increasing financial soundness
OF the country during the last few
months has become a commonplace
but it is not generally recognized how
strong our position really is. Last
week in New York alone, the clear
ing house banks held S173 900, 900
more specie than they needed for
their legal reserve. The English
pound sterling, heretofore the world s
standard, was at the greatest dis
count In the history Of the two coun-
tries Every American dollar was
worth Sl02 OF British money, $1.05
of French or Italian money and more
yet Of German money. All the for
cign powers faced the necessity of
raising big loans to help their credit,
or shipping great volumes of gold
which we don't need at all
The labor situation is not yet any
where near 50 favorable as the money
situation But at present, the out
look is Unexpectedly good. The en-
trance of Italy into the war means
that in all probability hundreds of
thousands of Italian reservists will re-
turn to Italy That will greatly lower
the margin Of unemployment which
is already rapidly diminishing. If
any of the Balkan states follow Italy's
example, as two or three of them may,
there will be a further diminution of
our surplus labor supply.
The result may be unfortunate
from the viewpoint of many manufac-
turers-we may not have left enough
labor to supply the growing demand
as our industries revive, But short
age of labor is, in any case, prefer
able to surplus SO far as the gen
eral public is concerned. It means
that the country no longer has to
carry the dead weight of non-produc
ing consumers. 1t means good wages
greater spending power, a speeding
up of the whole economic machine
it spells prosperity.

have not thought very seriously on
the subject:
"The United States of America is
one Of the oldest nations on earth.
With the exception OF England and
Russia, it is, as an existing nation,
older than any country in Europe.
And alone in the western world it
stood for the last 125 years with an
unchanged government. It's bounda-
ries have expanded and it's constitu-

gone through civil war, but the United

in 1889 and il is the only western
nation that is.
The Constitution of the United
States of America was adopted in the
year the French revolution began.
Since 1889 Europe has been remade.
Among the nations four stand out
as ancient '-England, Russia, Den
mark and Spain Yet in the last cen
fury and quarter these countries
have lived through governmental
changes that show besided the stabil-
ity Of the United States rule as ex-

The changes that have taken place
in the English regime are the most
interesting, because they are the least
known to the world at large 1t is
inevitable with us all that the men
ton of an ancient nation" a sta
BILE government" the oldest country
on earth" should bring the thought of
England to our minds.
But the government of England,
as we know it today, dates its be
ginning from the year 1892. That
is the date of the passage of the first
reform bin. These bills-the first in
1882, the second in 1867 and the last
in 1S84--shifted the government of
England from lords to commons, from
mobiles and men of great property to
the tpeople themselves, changed the

France began its revolution. as all
the world knows, in 1889 Since then

has executed one king and deposed
two others, and it has forced each of
its two emperors to abdicate. Since
the final formation of the third

train-lne to enter the operating cylinder.
This opens the engineman's air-brake
valve. giving a service application of the
brakes. and closes the throttle.
The electric lock is operated by cur
rent from the roadside battery conveyed
through wire extending from the shoe
upward through a pipe to the box in the
locomotive-cab which contains the lock.
Thus the absence of the electric cur
rent at a ramp, from any cause. will re-
suit in the application of the air-brakes.
There Is train-line pressure in all pipes,
and a failure Of pipes or their connec-
tons also causes a stop.
After the first installation, two engine
men were employed as travelling inspec-
tors, with orders to make surprise tests.
Enginemen never knew when or where
one of these men would board the train.
The inspectors were required 10 report
daily the exact conditions met, on each
train. when passing each ramp and each
signal During the entire time nothing
was encountered showing a false clear
condition, and by changing minor details
to meet operating conditions the number
of unnecessary stops was gradually ~
