STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

Stock market opened active and strong today. There was short GOV ering throughout industrials which were strong. This influenced opening gains. The rails opened heavy. To- ward noon the selling wave spent itself when dullness intervened after frac- tional rebound. The market at mid day was exceedingly dull
 Developments to this writing don't suggest any change in the general posi- tion of a trading attitude. Active stocks bought on weak spots after de- clines or sold when strong after sharp rallies should be policy productive of fair returns.
 The banking attitude indicates that the market will be kept temporarily within a trading area of several points range until underlying factors change The speculative interest in securities indicates activity, as does the restless ness of the professional element which is restricting it's operations to turns Bullish reports are noted on American Can, Atlantic Gulf Mo. Pas, Anaconda and Crucible. The buying of United States Steel continues good.

MESA PLAYERS SAY
 PHOENIX FORFEITED

MESA, Oct. 2.-The Mesa ball team is indignantly denying the correctness of the report in yesterdays Republican of the game played on the local grounds against the Phoenix White Sox This report, which was not sent in from Mesa, stated that the game was forfeited in the eighth inning with the White Sox leading by a score of to 0, when Mesa refused to con- tinue. The article stated further that Shumway of Mesa smashed the ball through the fence and on the umpire refusing to allow hm a home run the Mesa players quit. The true state ment of the affair as contended py gre Mesa team is as folic ys: With tlc White SoN , to 'n tha eighth frame, Mesa was at bat anu with one nlan on brs'4 Shdnlway hit t.n6 ball oyer the wire fence, clearing II by mo 'c than two feet. The runner and Shrmway made home. The Phoenix aggregation disputed the umpires decision that the ball went over and climed into their autos and left, forfeitins tie game to Mesa. The disputed point is the well known rule that ball passing throogh the fence allows two bases and over the fence home run. The umpire was out of town yesterday, but the Mesa boys claim he will substantiate 1 this statement Of the case.

The Coal Pirates

Government regulation of the coal
industry, including the fixing Of prices,
was proposed by the Federal Trade
Commission this week in a report to
Congress charging producers and brok-
ers with exacting exorbitant profits
and blaming the present coal shortage
at consumption points on inadequate
transportation facilities.
The price Of bituminous coal, which
Is necessity, should be fixed" said
the report. according to the same gen.
eral principle which has been estab-
lished in the conduct Of public utili-
ties. At a time like the present, excess
sive profits should not be permitted to
be extorted from the public by produc-
ers and distributors Of any prime ne
cessity of life"
We are not ready to admit that Tex
cessive profits" should be permitted at
ANY time. crisis or no crisis. This ex-
plotting Of the workers of the coun-
try by the drones, parasites and nj
rates must end sometime, and should
be made one recompense of the horrors
Of war.
Let the gamblers, cheaters and
workshies go to work with the rest Of
US to produce something, then the high
cost Of living will go down. We are
taxed ten times as much by tolerate
evils as we are by our government.
The Federal Trade Commission
charges that specializing brokers are
largely responsible for increased prices
OF coal: while coal producers frankly
admit that they are taking advantage
OF the situation public fear Of short
age and extraordinary demand) to
make up for low profits Of the last
few years"
Oh. Lord AS mucn as we have suf-
fered 1t has not satisfied the greed of
those who have been permitted to
seize and turn into billions for a few.

Editors Letter Box
Bow Soldiers from the Farms.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
Having taken the Kennebec Journal
for a number of years l have always
enjoyed reading it a&d have always
thought it one of the cleanest papers
printed; but never knew until the
present time what a true, patriotic and
American paper it was. Your edi-
torials to the farmers and to all Ameri-
cans are fine and right from the
shoulder. 1 can't sec what kind Of an
American a man is when he hints that
the American farmer is not patriotic.
In my neighborhood four boys have
left the farms to help carry the flag
my boy, only eighteen, and three 9TH
ers less than % years of age-and no
one left but us old fellows to plant
and till the soil, then he says to
plant more or we are not patriotic.
Now Mr. Editor we have other du-
ties to perform if we are true Ameri-
cans We have wives and little chill
dren to look after God bless them)
and is it the duty Of any true Ameri-
can to plunge and perhaps land those
dear ones next fall on the town farms ?
No, Mr.. Editor. the farmers know
what their duty calls for and when
any one of the high muckamucks
come forward and guarantee the
farmers that they wont be stung this
fall then they will see and know who
carries the true, red blood of America.

No Comment Necessary.

A remarkable speech was made OF
the liquor question in London at ;
public meeting recently by Captain
John MacNeill of Toronto, attached t.
the Canadian Y. NJ. C. A, says tn,
London Chronicle, which quotes Cap
tain MacNeill as follows:
To-day Canada is dry from coast
to coast, with the exception of
Quebec, which is four -ffths dry
under local option. In addition,
our people had the pledge from our
Department of Militia for a dry
canteen, with the understanding
that it would not only obtain in
the training camps of Canada, but
in their overseas operations as
well. 1t was with that assurance
that thousands of our homes gave
up their sons.
and our men have come to
England-with what result? They
have been debauched through
drink
'At this very moment in Lon
don there are tens of thousands of
traps set for the feet of our men.
So far as we can see there is no
serious attempt to restrain or sup
press this vice in the streets of
London. What reply will you give
to the parents of a Canadian boy
who, demoralized by drink and
through drink smitten with dis
ease, rendered unfit for France,
listed for home? Rather than face
it he blew out his brains with a
revolver in a Canadian camp l
visited a few weeks ago.
May 1 say to you eolemnly, If
England should lose this war be-
cause of drink (and drink, wo be-
lieve, is now the only enemy that
can defeat her), or if England
should unnecessarily prolong the
war with great sacrifice of life in
her effort to protect the drink, or
even if England should win the
war in spite of drink-which for
her own sake we pray she may
not do-you will have put upon the
bonds of the empire, in relation
to the overseas dominions, such a
strain as they have never known
before, and such a strain as we
cannot promise they will be able
to survive"

The Third Arm of Our National Do.
Tense

This issue OF the Kennebec Journal
carries another section Of exception
al interest at this time. The growth
Of the national Red Cross work has
been phenomenal, but the sudden
awakening of all the people to the i'm
portance Of this branch Of national
service is just as striking. The words
Red Cross" have a new significance,
everywhere. IL is the third arm Of ma
tonal defense-Army. Navy, Red
Gross II is the only volunteer relief
organization chartered by Congress,
md the only official medium between
the citizens and their army and navy.
Today every city and town in the
land is alive to the Importance of the
Red Cross service and ready to re-
spond in men and women, in money
and time 10 its needs. Everywhere
movements for chapters are underway,
and questions OF procedure are arising.
Today we are giving the story of
the organization. equipment and ac-
counting system of one of the finest
chapters In New England-at Port
land. Maine. The story is told in the
complete reports Of the officers of the
Portland chapter. exclusively for the
Kennebec Journal. The courtesy of
these active men and women is indica-
tive OF the splendid work of the
chapter. From this model other chap
ters may be carved and the great SER
vice extended.
The Portland chapter has $500 mem
bers: Augusta should enroll at least
1900 or 20o0 The Kennebec Journal
has already enlisted in the ranks as
first aid to new chapters. It has es-
tablished in this issue, following it's
16 page supplement Of May 8, a Red
Cross department in which will ap-
pear from time to time, the official
reports and circulars of the organiza-
ton. These will be so arranged for
reference as to follow by number and
form the papers previously published,
SO that any information may be avail
able at any time.
