Whatever may be ones political faith
now is the time TO forget party differ
.ences, if one really wants the country
to get ahead. 1t is time neither for
rushing wildly to grab the spoils, as Il
member of the party in power, nor for
shaking the head dolefulIy at the dire re-
suits sure to follow il one belongs to the
party out of luck. This is the time to
take off the coat and get to work. The
differences between Republican and Dem
ocratic administration get much of the
notice because they are so obvious. The
hkenesses are in reality much greater.
The schools, the farms, the banks. the
industries, the routine work of govern
ment, all run along much the same under
one president or another. The ideals for
these things are the same under all pres
ldents-only methods differ, and those
less than most people think. All these
things need honest attention, honest
work, honest cooperation. No one is
too obscure to do his bit toward the gen
eral good, too small to have his effort
count. Cooperation is the word. All
together, then!

Dismissal Spur Track Case

A decision was rendered by the
public utilities commission Wednes-
day in the matter of Frank L. Besse,
Edward E. Merrill and Carroll c..
Merrill, doing a coal business at
Pittsfield under the name of the Mer-
rill Coal Company. against the Maine
Central Railroad, dismissing the petit
ton. The compliments asked the
commission to permit the use and
benefit Of a certain spur track at
Pittsfield for the purpose Of handling
their coal in car load lots.
The authority Of the commission
relates only to parties owing or oc-
cupying premises adjacent to any
track" say the public utilities COM
missioners in their decision.
The evidence in this case shows
that the line Of the compIainants'
land is located some SO to 40 feet dis
tant from the spur track in question.
We feel constrained to hold that this
track referred to in the complaint is
not adjacent to the premises occupied
by the complainant within the mean
ing Of the statute, and that therefore
the commission, regardless of the
merits of this particular case, has no
jurisdiction to make the requested
order"
