chief spokesman of Kennebec and
surrounding counties.
It's long career of usefulness and
service has had a powerful in
fuence for good on the lives and
characters of it's readers.
The faithfulness with VIII h the
news is presented, the sane and
helpful interpreta ton of the press
ing problems of troublesome times,
the uplifting word of encourage
ment for every worthy cause, pub !
lie welfare, civic betterment and
community development, h es-
tablished it as one of the perma-
nent institutions in Maine homes.
Today at least 10000 Maine fanai-
lies depend upon it for inspiration,
information, advice and entertain
ment.
In variety and interest of careful
ly sifted news no paper in the State
can surpass it. It's influence makes
for better home life, better bust
ness life, and better community
life.
To be a Journal reader is to identi-
fy yourself with one of the most

WHAT OF THE HUNDRED MILLIoN7

While a few leaders, selected for their radicalsm by the for
eign element that dominates the coal miners union, and a few
operators who have grabbed the rich coal fields and exploited
labor for financial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, are hard set and determined
to eoncede nothing to one another; the miners bent upon a $40
day and a Nhour week, and the operators riding calmly on the
wave of rising prices for the supply they have on hand, the coun-
try is about ready for a revolt-not a revolt Of capital against
labor or labor against capital, for we already have that, but an
uprising of the so-caled middle class against conditions that have
become intolerabte; and all that is needed to start a social up
heaval such as the world has never seen is a leader either in the
government or out Of it.
At this season of the year the most dangerous weapon that
any man or set Of men can possess is the fuel supply. A danger
Gus weapon in the hands of dangerous men is a real menace at
any time.
The government has not the power to compel men to work in
an industry il they decide not to. The government has not the
authority to compel men to pay a given wage if they decide not TO-
But there is a way out of the difficulty, and that is for the
government to furnish protection to the men who want to work
and to operate industries for the men who will not treat their
employees fairly and justly.
The Hundred Million is weary of the grinding process, 1t
has been ground between the two other classes quite long enough
and the day is certain to arrive when it will take measures OF its
own to obtain relief.
The Hundred Million does not know its strength, but if OPP
pressed much longer the oppressors are going to feel the power of
It's strong right arm.
What the people demand is that the mines shall be kept open,
and the prices shall be kept down.
This is no time to temporize. Legitimate industry, with its
Investment, and thousands Of employees who would suffer If thrown
out Of employment, must not be shiled while a few radicals quarrel
over their grievances.
1t does not lie in the hands of a few men to precipitate an
industrial catastrophe If the Hundred Million will assert its rights
and do its duty.
This is as good a time as any to take our bearings and as
certain the foundation this government rests upon. 1t has stood
more than 100 years, while our people rested complacently upon
the theory that it was founded on a rock.
If the people do not realize the seriousness of the situation
confronting them, let them contemplate a country with every in.
dustry closed; every train and street car stopped; not a ship
sailing; the water and gas supply cut off, and the suffering in
the hospitals and homes for lack of fuel, to say nothing Of idle
ness, hunger and restitution.
1t simply isn't going to happen--thats all.
