CULMBACK COAL.

"CuImback" is name which miners
give to refuse which accumulates near
the mouth of the mines. 1t is fire.
ouently seen in huge piles anywhere
from 20 to so feet high 1t is composed
of shale, fine coal and coal dust. 1t is
worth very little for fuel. At many
mines which have been worked for
long time the amount of culmback has
become an actual feature of the land
scape On the 18th day of this month Is
carloads of this culmback was received
in Boston. Complaints were made Ito
MI Storrow, fuel administrator for Mas
sachusetts, and he sent a protest to
Washington. He was not able to get
much satisfaction, however, and it seems
that somebody may have forgotten that
arloads of real coal can be forwarded to
Boston as quickly as carloads of refuse.
1t may be that the coal barons may
have taken the opportunity to do little
profiteering without any authority. II
this is the case the fuel administrator
should administer more than rebuke to
the coal barons. If these fellows have
been cheating, Professor Garfield should
punish them by requiring the translation
of hundred lines of some Hebrew classic.

road in which Belfast is so vitality inter-
ested is one of the six hundred which Is
to ride 'fnto the valley Of death" as did
that other six hundred whose valor has
been immortalized in verse. If only the
main lines are to be taken and the
branches and little Independent lines are
to be left to manage for themselves as
best they can, few Of them will pass
through the valley alive. We hope if
the Maine Central is taken that our
branch will be considered as part OF
that system We shall then get some
part of the s945, 900, 900 which the gov
eminent is to allot to the roads. We al
so hope that the Maine Central and the
Bangor and Aroostook will be left to
manage their own affairs because we be-
lieve the managers of these roads know
infinitely more about the railroad bust
ness than does Mr.. McAdoo, and will
better conserve their own interests and
the interests of the people whom they
serve. Anything which cripples or de-
stroys the small roads which are SO es-
sential to local communities and as feed
ers to the trunk lines, will cripple, if it
does not destroy businesses which have
added much to the prosperity of the
country.
Until the lease of our road to the Maine
Central expires we shall probably not be
injured by governmental control, but if
governmental control is to continue after
that and for an indefinite period our in
terests may suffer. We have therefore
more than passing concern in the en-
actment of bill which shall terminate
government control of railroads at the
close of tie war. The President did not
take over the railroads as reasoned and
settled policy for the days of peace as
well as war. 1t was war measure and
should not be extended beyond the war
period. If, in the meantime, govern
ment control is still claimed by its
friends to be what is needed, final de-
cson upon the matter should not be left
to the claimants, but to the people who
are to be served and have right to elect
a Congress on the issue involved. 10
PREJUDICE the question and demand per-
petuity of what is admittedly war
measure is certainly presumptuous

Although a large portion of the snow
had been removed from the bowling
alley. connected with The Waquoit at
Northport, owned and managed by Mrs.
Lillian C. Ross, the building, containing
two alleys, collapsed about 7.3O on the
night of Feb. 18th with loud crash
which startled the few residents of the
summer resort. The building is 80 feet
long and 20 wide and together with the
alleys was worth $1,000 The snow on the
roof became so heavy with the falling
rain that the side walls spread letting the
roof fall in, taking with it tons of snow
and ice. 1t is feared that the alleys will
be ruined beyond repair. Mrs. Ross and
her sister, Mrs. Peirson, are spending the
winter at The Waquoit. Many people
throughout Maine have bowled on the
Waquoit alleys and will regret this acct
dent and the big financial loss to the own
er. Mrs. Ross does not plan to rebuild
and refurnish the alley this coming sea-
son owing to the high cost of building
material and labor and the fact that So
many of the young people who come to
Northport are in the service.

Socialism exhibits beautiful picture
when we view it in the light thrown on
1t by an idealistic philosopher whose
mind is overlooking with love for his
fellowman and great desire to make
his life happier and better, When this
picture is seen through the lenses of the
experience which time has vouchsafed,
its beauty vaniShes It's shadows are too
dark It's surface bloodstained. That
many honest men and good citizens are
socialists is certainly true, but when
these men make a stand for what they
believe, many of the idle and nearly all
the vicious and the criminal gather about
their standard This has had many an
illustration and doubtless will have many
more Therefore, the honest, well mean
ing socialist bides his time, hoping al
most without faith, that this incubus
which rests upon socialism may some
how be lifted While these men have
waited and hoped, agitators and knaves
have seized every opportunity to disor-
game the industry of the country, and
even the government itself Their aim
is not to make the world better but to
arrogate power to themselves and to add
pelf to their purses William D, Hay
wood of the |. w. w. is one of these.
This association of which Haywood is
one of the leaders would heartily Join
socialism in an effort to destroy the ex-
listing government, and, if that were sue
cessful, would as heartily assist in
movement to destroy socialism and to
replace it with communism or even with
anarchy, Evolution is one of the roads
which leads to betterment Retrogres-
sion is direct highway leading to the
region of lower types. Inscriptions
men have succeeded in leading socialism
in the wrong direction. It's dominant
type now is Lenne and Trotzky, advent
9rers in whom the ego towers high above
Glonor, making war upon their country
men while shouting for world peace. They
have .condescended to bank robbery and
reputation of honest debts, striving to
make peace with the German autocracy
which within third of year has robbed
their country of several valuable prov
inces. Not content with that they are
endeavoring to extend their propaganda
even into the United States. Just at
present they can make but little head
way But after the war has been over
few months and the thousands of people
now employed in special war work are
seeking new avocations; when business
itself will be unsettled; when readjust-
sment comes with falling wages and prices
sstNl inflated because of scarcity; then
tEsoontent will give the Haywoods, the
Lenines and the Trotzkys their oppor-
tunity for DISCRIMINATION. Then social
ism in it's debased ambitions may become
a serious menace even here. This coun-
try of ours has cost and is now costing
too many lives and too much money and
suffering to be given over to be wrecked
Guy the plots of irresponsible men. Social
dism must purify itself or eventually it
must be suppressed.

BOLO PASHA.

This man was one of a coterie of French
men brought together under his leader
ship for the purpose of melting the
French people to rebel against the carry
ing on of the war. His was but one
branch of the propaganda which is being
fostered in nearly every country of the
world by the Germans. We have it here
in virulent and somewhat open action.
1t is even rife in Mexico and has been for
several years. Bolo Pasha was not only
the organizer of the pro- Germans and
pacifsts of France but he was the pay
master as well, having been supplied with
vast sums of German money. Part of
this money was used in purchasing
newspaper to be the medium through
which discomfort and treason might be
fomented. He was detected, tried, con-
victed by military court martial and SEN
fenced to be shot Exit Bolo Pasha. Per-
