STRIKE SETTLED.

PARIS, Sept. 8. A Havas dispatch
from Lisbon says that the employees of
the post and telegraph service have re-
sumed work. This was brought about
by the issue of decree on Sept. LIST
designating them members of the army
and placing them under control of the
ministry of war The strikers were not
flied that they would be considered de-
serters if absent from their posts for
more than 48 hours.
The time is not distant when we shall
be obliged to settle strikes in just that
way, and the sooner we begin the better.
New England needs coal and then more
coal. About $500 men have been hold
ing up the Boston & Maine X. R., and
strikes have been dangerously prevalent
elsewhere 1t does not profit the 1000,
600 people of New England when the
government spends 10 days arguing with
$500 strikers. There is something wrong
either with our laws or our executive
officers.

WALDO co. TELEPHONE HEARING,

The public utilities commission has or
dered hearing to take place at it's office
in Augusta Friday, Sept. 2lst, at 10
o'clock in the forenoon, to determine
whether physical connection can rea-
sonably be made between the lines of the
Knox and Montville Telephone Company,
the New England Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, the Half Moon Tele-
phone Company, the Unity Telephone
Company, and the Liberty and Belfast
Telephone Company, or any two or more
of them, to form a continuous line of
communication, by the construction and
maintenance of suitable connections, for
the transfer of messages or conversations.
The order further states that an effort
will be made to determine whether public
convenience and necessity will be sub
served by the connection, whether these
companies or any two or more of them
have failed to establish Joint rates, tolls
or charges for service by or over their
lines, and whether Joint rates, tolls or
charges ought to be established; and to
make such orders, rules and regulations
and prescribe such through lines, joint
rates, tolls and charges, if any, as may
be Just and reasonable.

only by the establishment of maximum
prices can the problem of price control be
solved. Why should we hesitate and
temporiZe,
PENSIONS, OR INSURANCE?
temporize.

In considering the relative merits of a
pension system or an insurance system
for our new soldiers, one thing is likely
to be lost sight of, and that is that the
pension system applies to all alike, where
as the insurance system is very likely to
result in larger benefit to the man OF
larger means. The proposal is to furnish
insurance at the rate of eight dollars a
thousand. The man of means who has
been conscripted will take as much in
surance at this rate as he is permitted to
buy; so will the man of smaller means.
But the Weather man will necessarily
take great deal more than the poor man
will or can. To that extent the proposed
insurance plan will work to the advan-
tage of the man of wealth; whereas in a
pension system, rich man and poor man
will benefit to the same extent. Each
would get so many dollars month, de-
pending upon his disability and not upon
his capacity to pay premiums.

LOYALTY.

This is no time to bubble or to fool;
To argue over who was wrong, who
right;
To measure fealty with worn foot rule;
To ask: "Shall we keep still or shall
we fght?"
The Clock of Fate has struck; the hour is
here;
War is upon us now, not far away;
One question only rises, clarion clear:
Glow may serve my country, day by
day?"
Not all of US may join the khakied throng
Of those who answer and go forth to
stem
The tide of war. But we can all be strong
And steady in our loyalty to them!
Not with unfettered thought, or tongue
let loose
In bitterness and hate "a childish
camel
But with faith, untroubled by abuse,
That honors those who put the rest to
shame!
There is no middle ground on which to
stand;
We've done with useless pro-and-con
debates;
The one-time friend, so welcome in this
land,
Has turned upon us at our very gates.
There is no way, with honor, to stand
back
Real patriotism isn't cool-then hot;
You cannot trim the flag to fit your lack
You are American-or else you re not!

GRAFT OR INCOMPETENCE?

1t has been officially admitted that
one-third of the small arms ammunition
sent to our soldiers in France has been
found to be worthless. There is a grow
ing suspicion that cheating has been
practiced in other war manufactures
No manufacturer should escape the Sc
verest punishment for such a crime as
the above 1t is bad enough to cheat the
government in this crisis. 1t is thou
sand times worse to be guilty of attempts
ing 10 rob our soldiers of their means of
offense and defense when fighting in the
trenches. There are just two things
which ought to be done: first, to find out
who the guilty parties are; next, to pun
ish them without any delay, with such
punishment as the enormity of the crime
deserves. The inspectors who allowed
the worse than worthless ammunition to
be accepted by the government, were
perhaps men who never saw smokeless
powder or metallic cartridges until they
were appointed to perform the important
duties of inspection; perhaps they were
college professors who had spent their
business efforts in declining Latin nouns
and coniugating Latin verbs; perhaps
they had previously been government
mosquito experts who had finished their
labors as such in a swamp near some lit
tie summer resort. The best that can be
said of them is that they were either in
competent or dishonest. The appointing
power is not entirely blameless in this
scandalous affair, but it is no use to dis
cuss that. The President objects to a
Senate War Control Board and to Board
of Control of War Expenditures. He is
Commander in Chief de jure and de facto.
AS much as was Washington the father
of his country in the days of the Revolu-
ton SO is President Wilson the father of
his country today. Let US hope that he
will apply the parental single, incarcer-
ate the criminals and turn out the in
competent.

A SUNSET FANCY.

Tonight, as sat at my window,
While the west was all agleam
With that strange and wonderful splendo
That is fleeting as dream,
l thought that the hands Of angels
Had flung Heavens gateways wide
And | caught some glimpse of the glory
From the hills on the other side.
Is it not comforting fancy,
This sunset thought of mine,
That always the gates of Heaven
Swing open at days decline
That those whose work is all ended
From our earthly woes and ills
May pass to the peace and gladness
That crown the beautiful hills?
Perhaps, while sat there dreaming
OF the gateway in the west,
Some weary ones went homeward
To long and endless rest
Went in through the sunset gateway
To the city paved with gold,
To dwell in the hills of Heaven,
And be no longer old!
When for me the sunset gateway
Shall at days decline unclose
And enter through its portals
To long and sweet repose,
know that shall remember,
In that land SO fair and far,
My strange and beauteous fancy.
OF the sunset gates ajar.

KEEP OUT OF RUSSIA.

Mr.. James Duncan, vice-president of
the American Federation of Labor and
member of the Root mission to Russia, in
recent speech predicted that a Russian
drive would soon astonish the world. Mr.
Duncan is not prophet. He is an his
torian, The Russian drive started some
weeks ago and is headed in the wrong
direction. There are still a few people
IN the United States who advise that we
lend large sums of money and send a
large army to Russia. The reason given
for doing this is that democracy may
be established for the benefit of the peo-
pie of that distracted country. This
reason is both sentimental and silly. The
Russians have, as yet, shown no capacity
for governing themselves. German in
tTigues and the plots of the unbanished
partisans of the lately deposed monarchy
are in every possible way blocking the
efforts of Kerensky to bring order out of
chaos. The masses of the peasantry have
no definite or correct conception of what
democracy really is. Like other human
beings they desire peace and plenty. They
have been told that we in the United
States have these, presented to us through
the magic of the word, democracy. They
have yet to learn that our happiness and
prosperity have been won by the energy
Of virile people during long years oil
effort and self control. Under present
conditions loaning money must be con-
sidered wild cat investment, without
collateral, payable in not less than sc
years. To send an army will result in
drenching the soil of Russia with Ameri-
can blood with the practical effect Of
perhaps saving the mineral resources Of
Russia and her southern wheat fields
from falling into the hands of the Ger.
man-Austro-Hungar alliance. Tha
seems to be Japan's task, not ours.
