Relics Are Also Valuable

We read from year to year of the
selling to private individuals or the
"scrapping" Of some old war vessel.
That is right and proper, for it
would be poor economy and poor
preparedness to keep in active serv-
ice an unsuitable warship.f
But, is not there something more
than just the physical aspect of a
naval craft? Sentiment has entered
into naval affairs to a degree never
excelled by land deeds, not only in
our country but from the beginning
Of history.
Therefore, may it be considered,
why not make provision for the pres
ervation of an least one specimen Of
every class of naval vessel that is
built for the American navy? 1t
would certainly cost something, but
do you suppose that any person who
has seen or been aboard "Old Iron
sides" ever thinks of the expense Of
preserving her?
A visit of feet of naval curiosi-
ties" along the coast would bring
more naval recruits than all the brass
bands in the country.

Significant Approval

The approval of such men as Elihu
Root, Charles E. Hughes, Herbert
Hoover, George w. Wickersham, Ly-
man Abbott, Henry w. Taft. is a
very desirable and influential thing
to have; their opposition to any for
eign policy would be cause for ap-
prehension respecting that policy.
These men have, from the first, ia
vored some sort of a League of ma
lions, have expressed the belief that
the present league covenant may be
SO amended as to meet the required
conditions, and they now say they
support Harding and Coolidge,
in the conviction that in this way,
and this way alone. a league may be
obtained. Surely If they can do this
others believing in the League prin-
ciple may conscientiously and con-
sistently do SO.

The Failure Of Christians

Senator Harding recognized an i'm
portant distinction. in his recent
speech at Chattanooga when he said:
Someone has said that the World
War stamped the failure Of the
Christian religion. Don't you ever
believe that, my countrymen. The
World War only stamped the fail
ure Of Christians. not the Christian
religion"
There is the challenge to all who
believe and call themselves Chris
tians, put SO plainly as to be i'm
possible of misinterpretation. The
Christian religion itself has not
failed, will never fail in it's princi-
pies and teachings for life and con-
duct throughout eternity. It is
stronger today than ever and its es-
sential truths are being understood
and put into daily practice, many of
them for the first time.
The fault has been wholly with the
Christians who have insisted on in
terpreting Christianity as they per-
sonally felt would suit their purpose.

of its Founder. The war Jared PEG.
pie awake to many things to which
they had Heretofore turned a sleepy
and listless attention. and in the bril-
lance of those battle flames the old
familiar usages and customs shone
Infinitely petty and inadequate. The
great religious revival which SO MANY
earnest men and women near the
heart of the war predicted, has not
come in visible manifestation, but the
mighty forces then set in motion
have not stirred in vain, and they
have not ceased. Even though the
Christian churches seem to have
been least affected of any organized
units of society by the lessons Of the
war, other groups and individuals
have been and are responding to the
challenge to make this a better world
for practical daily life.

The results of personal government

Not only before the war and during

Mr.. Wilson dwarfed every other fac

anyone who cast a shadow. His ap-

When you read in the news of the

consider that the foreigner because

billion of dollars and see no way in
which to pay even the interest with

Governor Coolidge at Philadelphia,
Friday. The plight of our old world
competitors is to a certain extent a
concern Of ours, but we would be ex-
tremely unwise to overlook the great
stress under which the foreigners are
working. Immediate and urgent
needs are driving them into desperate
methods for securing markets; they
are not in the mind to take broad
comprehensive views respecting in

possible; rather their incentive is to
milk the American market while the

no longer profitable to run the mill.

Transportation Changes

No extra trains have been run by
the Maine Central railroad on ac-
count Of Topsham fair. but the reg
ulars have been filled to capacity by
persons eager to reach the fair
grounds-Bath Times.
Those whose recollections Of the
Topsham Fair go back twenty-five
years may find here something worth
considering. In those days thirty
thousand attendance was remarkable
and special trains were busy between
Brunswick and Topsham, running
frequently and charging but a five
cent fare, and special trains came
and went on every line of the Maine
Central, usually loaded.
This year with a record breaking
attendance Of 10000 there were no
special trains. The reason automo-
biles from east, west north and
south, from the city and the distant
farm. Who could wish to go to the

rest Of 1t there is no need OF going
into detail? And how the world
has improved because Of such facil-
tiles.

capital this week to discuss ways and
means for raising the money for de-
vising the methods for applying it to
the support of the very conditions we
are considering, the use Of automo-
biles and highways instead Of trains
and railroads. Naturally the ques-
ton arises, what is to become of the
former and how are the railway
companies to satisfy their stock
holders, their employees and the peo-
pie who are compelled to use them.
all of whom have rights in the mat
ter?
Judging by the growth Of travel in
the past it would seem that the pres
ent railroad equipment might be kept
probably employed, although any
marked development may not be re-
quired. AS to the maintenance of
the highways that is decidedly an
other matter and in the opinion of
many one far more perplexing. Just
now there are shortages of men and
material and Of money. More money,
much more. must be had If the good
people are to continue to 60 to the
Topsham fairs in their automobiles
over good roads, safely and comfort
ably If their exhibits are to be car
ried in trucks: briefly if the reads
are to be worn out thusly provisions
must be had for restoring them and
justice requires that those, who by
circumstances are dependent on the
railroad trains, should not be re-
Quired also to support the highways
in the same proportion as the users
Of them.
