DELUGED WITH BIDS

session in Portland Tuesday. was del
uged with bids on portions Of work Ia
be undertaken in various parts of the
state. Among the sections, on which
awards were to be made, was the
Booth HILL unit Of the valley trunk of
the Mount Hood Loop Highway.
So many were the bids submitted
that the Commission was busy through
out Tuesday afternoon and evening
segregating offers, after the proposals
had been scanned. The bids were tabu-
lated and awards made yesterday. All
of the larger contracting companies
we're represented at the meeting Of the
Commission, which will start at once
construction Of 80 miles Of new road.
The figures submitted indicated good
bids as a whole. The falling labor
market and increased efficiency were
held to account for the improved bid
ding.

SALARIES AS WELL AS WAGES

Does the Maine Central Railroad
Company anticipate a reduction OF
salaries and wages for 1912 asked
Mr.. Webb.
Yes, very substantial reduction"
replied President McDonald.-From
report on the legislative hearing on
railroad rates.
The Journal is informed on the best
of authority that this proposed cut
ting of salaries will go into effect the
first of April and will include the sal
airy of the president himself; that it
will be a very substantial reduction
This decision is hailed as an earn
est of the disposition of the
railroad management to spare no
effort to adjust matters. As such 1t
is of great significance. AS cur
tailment of expense it is not so sig
nificant for the reason. it is said. that
the compensation of only fifty-five is
under the control of the directors.
The pay of all the other employees is
fixed under the national agreement
A reduction of this kind was made
on this road in 1898.

GET THE COOLIDGE SPIRIT

This is no time to press for an I'M
due advantage. 1t is time to culti-
waite friendly relations between all
the different elements of production,
whether represented by investment
or by labor"
This is but another bit of the wis
dom for which the public is getting
accustomed to look to Calvin Cool
idge. Along with getting this habit it
would be we'll to get the Coolidge
spirit. That is not alone exemplified
by his words, though they are set to
the music of it; it is found in the
days works of the man. He proba-
bly, has more of them to his credit
than most Of those who assume to
speak for labor, and from the bottom
up he has accustomed himself to give
full measure of product.
Surely this is no time to press for
an undue advantage, but it is high
time to get the Coolidge spirit.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat If You Feel Backaehy
or Have Bladder Trouble

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which excites the kid
neys, they become overworked from
the strain. get sluggish and fail to
filter the waste and poisons from the
blood, then We get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness
and urinary disorders come from
sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scaIding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces Of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take tablespoonful in a glass
OF water before breakfast and in q
few days your kidneys will act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to 'neutralize the
acids in urine SO 1t no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
'Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-

eryone should take now and then to
keep the Kidneys clean and active
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications-Ady.

The old reliable

in the House of Representatives at
Augusta, it's popular representation
is safeguarded. The basis of repre-
sentation in the Senate is of another
sort; or at least should be such. A
county that has not enough of popu-
lation to entitle it to a Senator ac-
eording to population, is yet entitled
to one Senator. But it does not seem
to be beyond criticism, that one
county should have as many Sena-
tors as FIVE other counties in a body
that is made up to represent the
county government of Maine fairly
and equitably.
Maine is growing in cities and los
ing in the country. The time might
come when the absolute control of
the Senate may be in the few cities
of the State. The Constitution linn
tied the number of representatives
that any city might have to seven.
This was the very idea of putting a
limit to the oyerlordship of the city.
The same idea is perfectly fair In re-
gard to counties. 1t is feasible to
say that Maine shall have not more
than three Senators to one county.
1T is equally just and proper to pro-
vide that no county shall have less
than two Senators and thereby, no
right of the representation by popu-
lation will be lost any more than it is
in the United States Senate.
We would favor, if any change, an
amendment making the number of
Senators to a county two in each
instance with the odd Senator going
to the county with the largest popu-
lation. Androscoggin would remain
as she is. We do not favor redis-
tricting in such way as to shift
the balance of power in Maine any
more to the westward or to locate
one third of the Senate in three
counties, out of sixteen. We don't
believe that the makers of the Con-
stitution of Maine so intended. If
that can not be secured, better a law
giving to each county two Senators
and one extra for each 24,7S9 of
population or major fraction thereof.
On this basis the figures amount to
the figures Indicated or 80 Senators,
according to the apportionment
which has been published in the case.
1t is not a penalizing of counties.
They get their gains in the House.
The latter law seems most likely to
be reported out. At present the con-
dition is deadlocked.

AN IMPRESSIVE DEMONSTRA
TON

My friends this is no time to let
the fires of patriotism burn low"
said the chairman addressing the
huge mass meeting in Madison
Square Garden called as protest
against the Hylandized hyphenated
assemblage recently held there. The
news dispatches show the fires were
not burning low that night. The
meeting was q triumphant demon
stration of the forces in this country
which do not believe in tolerating the
disloyal, pernicious, pro-foreign
propaganda that would make this
country a pawn to political conniving
abroad. With fifteen thousand per-
sons present and twice that turned
away 1t is evident quite a few people
in that great city are interested in
having it known that this country is
not yet given over to the forces that
jeer its name and dishonor it's flag.
1t was very proper that the demon
stration should be made. In no other
way could correct impression of the
sentiment Of the exceedingly great
majority be so strikingly made.
