Where Is Labor Leaders Power?

Months ago, among the war plans
Of the administration, an adjustment
board was provided. whose duty it was
to be to prevent strikes and other dis
turbances in establishments engaged
in war work. The supposed leaders Of
the labor organizations agreed to the
plan; II we remember Alright, they ac-
cepted membership on the board. Yet
strikes have not been obviated; they
have been numerous-the one in the
Pacific Coast shipyards being the most
serious; and it is pertinent to inquire
whether the leaders Of organized labor,
meaning by that the men who hold high
out influence and authority over their
members. In matters Of politics and
legislation. these men assume to speak
with the united voice of organized la
hor. they promise to deliver" Its vote,
they threaten to make use Of its power
at the polls. How does 1t happen that
they are impotent in a situation like the
present?
At a time when New England Is In
panic because Of impending coal short
age, and cities are complaining that
they can get neither wood nor farm
produce because Of lack Of transporta-
ton, employees Of the railroads Of the
northeastern part Of the United States
and eastern Canada threaten to strike
for higher wages.
We do not blame railway employees
for wanting higher wages in these
times of disheartening prices, but the
rest Of US are having about all we can
bear without any additional burdens
from such a source.

BETTER THAN CAL0MEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute.

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
tute for calomel - are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olivc-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calonel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not
to take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel doggy" and

brain and how they "perk up" the spirits.

part at least. to the Drafting Qf seamep
for submarine crews, q service which
has come to hold terrors for the Gar
man seamen because Of the in6exible
British policy Of never making any an
nouncemnt whatever of the fate Of
captured or lost crews Of the German
submer stbles.
This suspense as to the fate Of COM
rades who go out never to be heard OF
again was expected to undermine the
morale Of the navy.
Clashes between German and AUS
trian crews are regarded in Naval cir
cles as adding much significance to the
situation, particularly when considered
in the light of the extreme situation Of
Austria, whose fighting forces are at
the point of exhaustion.
These are the encouraging facts and
such facts may increase our hopes OF
early peace but they provide for the
slightest excuse for reducing our tre-
mendous provisions for war. Indeed
the thing we are doing now-raising q
great fund for the prosecution of the
warts the biggest factor in the pos
sibility Of peace.
Let us, rather than slow up, re-
double our efforts for dollars to save
our soldiers.
Let US remember that the bigger and
quicker the billions are In the hands of
the government the sooner the war
will end-and the more those bonds
will be worth to US the handsomest
investment we shall aver have oppor.
tunity to make.
When we say "handsomest invest
ment" we mean in every way-the
safest financial investment and. in its
broad sense, the biggest moral duty OF
great people. And that Is not all;
if the war ends in a few weeks or
months these bonds are going to be
in such demand as to make their own
ers rejoice.

When Our Troops Land Safely Some.

(Springfield Union

According to Washington dis
patches. the colonel of a Connecticut
National Guard Regiment, now a
part OF our federal army, may be
court martialed for cabling home the
safe arrival Of his regiment. This,
particular colonel is not alone respon-
sible for this glad news leaking out.
Many Of our boys" have sent sim
liar reports to anxious parents or
friends, and some of our public men
ir their speeches on various occa =
sions have referred with qualification
to the fact that voyage beset with
so many dangers had been success
fully accomplished. If the publication
of this intelligence, whether through
the press or by word Of mouth is
undesirable the place to apply tho
censorship. 1t would SEEM is at the
source. If such cablegrams, intended
primarily to comfort aching hearts
convey important military information
TO the enemy, then they should not
have been passed by the censor on the
other side. The mere fact that they
were accepted and transmitted might
be regarded as prirna facie evidence
that there was no longer special oc-
casion for secrecy here at home.
The newspapers have been very care
full to give no hint as to the SAIL
ing OF any transport, and all can read :

Editorial Comment
The Maine Potato

Actual figures are now coming down
from Areostook to supplement the
somewhat doleful reports OF short
potato crop in the INLAND empire
Though the potato crop in the country
a. q whole is a record breaker-4b2,-
000. 900 bushels, according to the latest
Washington estimate, compared with
2s6.000, 900 in 1916-a short crop in
Aroostook is more than a local matter
II not only has a very direct bearing
on the Boston supply and prices, but
IL concerns the whole country. since
Aroostools Is looked on as the most
reliable source OF seed potatoes by the
West and South The potatoes have
better lasting qualities than those of
mitder states. and consequently are in
far better condition when the next
Planting season comes.
Aroostook set out last spring to do
it's part in the campaign of increased
food production by planting 100000
acres to potatoes. many thousands more
than last year. Yet the crop this year
will barely reach 100000 bushels in
the county, as compared with 100000
last year The crop in the State as a
whole Is set now at 20,S46000 bushels.
The shipments Of Maine potatoes this
year were only 2104 carloads up to Oct.
]. as compared with 5S25 10 the same
date year ago. The growers are hold
ing back their potatoes, in the face of
o good crop IN the country at large,
ir the hope of getting prices compar-
able to those of last year. Their~ex-
penses have been far higher. Labor
jumped to $3.50 or s4 a day. or even
IS in some cases and fertilizer cost
twice as much as three years ago. The
increa~nd expense with half a yield per
acre does not make $3.50 a barrel look
very tempting to them-though there
is a substantial profit at that figure,
even under present adverse conditions.
The excessive profits of a year ago
have made Aroostook depressed at the
prospect of ordinary profits. The cold
spring. the August blight and the early
-frosts turned the gamble for a big crop
against the growers-though their 1917
average of 100 bushels an acre is some
thing that no other section Of the coun-
try can approach with the best of con-
ditions. There are experts who figure
serious problem. They say that it has
been made so dependent on fertilizers
and SO coddled and protected against
blight and bugs and rust that the po-
tota has lost much of it's native hardi-
ness and the crop fails under conditions
that 1t would readily have survived a
few years ago.--Boston Herald
1.-THE above from our Boston ex-
change is fair and. in the main. cor
rect. but we have very conclusive evi-
dcnce that the Aroostook crop as a
whole is under 100 bushels to the acre
where it should have been 100 barrels
And again $3.50 per barrel with less
than 40 barrels to the acre. does not
provide a substantial profit" over this
years high cost for everything that
entered into it. We do not profess to
know anything about this loss Of hardi-
ness bugaboo but it is a pretty safe
guess that it is pretense by some one
and nothing more. Nor was it the cold
spring, August blight or early frost
that turned the trick, but weeks Of
rain in June followed by hot weather,
tip burn" scanty blossoming and
failure of tubers to set.-Edl

Thought she could tell YOU better:
1t may turn out a pair of socks,

Prlscilla's industry is great.
And just to watch the needles fly
Would almost make you dizzy,
She knits, and knits, and knits, and knits.
No one could do it better,
In fashioning pair of socks.
Or, possibly a sweater.

She has no time for fooiing,
Her old-time suitors now she keeps
