"Mr Bryan is not wise man lie

fourth rate. He is also an ignorant
man, SO far az concerns the know

acts altogether from impulse He Is
a sentimontalist. and like all senti-

These have yielded him rich return

"A Lesson from High Living Cost"

Editor kennebec Journal:
The present demand for a national
investigation of the underlying causes
for the extremely high cost of living
makes pertinent any consideration of
it's possible good effects, for it is in
deed IAN ill wind that blows no one
good" and true too that every evil has
its good side if one can but detect it..
Now in this high cost of living there is
a lesson that has long been needed by
American people and whatever its
causes and however severe its present
results, If this lesson Is learned and
sufficiently impressed to be lasting in
the minds and lives Of our people then
even the suffering entailed by the
strikingly high costs Of even the nee
essaries of life is not to be estimated
as total loss. =:
For years American economists have
preached against the enormous waste
of resources by American people. I'm
til recently one writer estimated that
1919 of the food placed on American
tables found it's way into the waste
pail and of this much was never re-
claimed because of the tendency of
housewives to burn their refuse in
stead of waiting for the farmer who
might have used it to advantage in the
piggery. Unsifted coal has never
seemed worth while as a source of
possible saving. but the present situa-
ton has brought the ash .seive again
into use and we hope it has come to
stay. The waste in rags and paper is
indeed lamentable and it is possible
that the pressure of the paper famine
of to day may save from the waste
pile and the fire much of the paper
material that would under old prac-
tees have been wasted. Many other
instances of waste which is so common
in American experiences might be
quoted but these will suffice.
One waste, however, that is essen
TALLY a public waste ought to be men
toned. 1t is the great waste of school
material by pupils and teachers in our
public schools Often whole sheets of
paper are used to contain a very few
scratch figures. One side only of the
school paper is used by many of the
boys and girls, which means a big
waste More common than this is the
use of expensive calendered paper for
work when might just as easily nave
been performed on rough and cheap
grade stock. School books are treated
as no other books are, tossed into
chairs carelessly and in other ways
mistreated, the bindings are soon loos-
ened and the parents or the town has
soon to replace them. Ordinarily
school books are condemned two years
before their natural time.
1t is hoped that necessity will prove
itself the great teacher it is reputed to
be and help offset some of the waste so
common in land of apparently
boundless, but nevertheless limited, re-
sources. If this one problem is solved
by the present high cost of living it
will not have been altogether in vain.

Fifty Years in Harness
xRridRf0n NaWSl

Today. December 1st, is the fiftieth
anniversary of a date probably Of far
more interest to the senior of The
News than any one else; it is just
fifty years since, of the firm of Upton
& Shorey, at Bath, he commenced his
rareer as newspaper publisher, the
papers being the Bath Daily Times and
American Sentinel (weekly). Having
from that date to this continuously
kept in harness, it is probably true
that he is 1.-THE dean" in Maine Jour-
nalism, whatever that may mean. We
observe that our Brother Sanborn, of
the Norway Advertiser. who regards
himself as a veteran in the fraternity,
is giving some interesting reminis-
cences Of the olden time. Very likely
we may do something in that line,
having under the eye bound files of
the papers for the entire flfty-year
period. The first paper on the Lower
Kennebec came in 1920, the year Maine
assumed state hood, and as a boy in
the printery we knew it's founder and
were much in elbow touch with him,
say thirty five years later. Though,
between 1920 and the late sixties, there
were a multitude of Bath newspapers,
daily and weekly. in 1866 the estab-
lishment mentioned was the only one
in Sagadahoc County. having a clear
field. newspaper, book and job printing.
The Brunswick Telegraph. Portland
Press and Argus, and the Lewiston
Journal, were the near print-shop
neighbors. Tenney at Brunswick. the
N. A. Foster. Co. and John M. Adams,
at Portland, and the Dingleys at
Lewiston. But something of this may
be permitted later on. From 1854 to
1866-plus five years when wearing the
army blue-and from 1870 to 1916, at
Bridgton, is quite a wide cycle of
years to span in one industry; but
that happens to be the writer's in
dustrial record. Them

Editor Kennebec Journal
ITO the women of New England:
News from Belgium describes sit
uation horrible. Over forty thou
sand men already deported for mil
itary works amid awful scenes,
number proposed three hundred
thousand. Stop it. please. Get in
fluential friends. Start strong
campaign of opinion which might
possibly prevent extensive slave
raids. Implore your help in name
Of humanity and honor Of mankind.
Signed:
"Chevalier Carton de Wharf.
Belgian Minister of Justice"
Women of New England-You whose
ancestors fought against slavery, read
this message to friends in America
from Chevalier Carton de Wharf, Minis
ter of Justice in stricken Belgium from
whence all justice has flown.
Read it, and answer in some helpful
way, as the light of God leads you
this cry from enslaved humanity to a
free people.
Will you, with your able brains and
practical ability, help this cause by
an expression Of feeling in the Press OF
your section?
Tell the Public what you think of
this reversion to barbarism. Suggest,
if you can. some means by which the
combined pressure of opinion Of all the
nations Of the universe may
be able to stop this latest cruelty
against an innocent and ravaged
people.
Think Of it. Two thousand Belgian
men are now taken each day into Ger
many to harvest the enemy's grain
while their own women starve, or to
make munitions in German factories to
their own countrymen, all there
is left Of that dauntless Belgian army.
Let US help these people if we can.
