BETTER THAN CALO|MEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tables-the sub
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colored tablets are tn result Of DR..
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calonel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. It is best not to
take calonel. Let DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets take its place.
Headaches 'dullness" and that lazy
feeling come from constipation and 4
disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel ..logy"an
heavy" They clear" clouded brain
and perk up the spirits. 15c and 3Oc.

Editorial Comment
Don't chsse Rainbows

| The Legislature ought to ask itself
this question: do we want Names
water powers developer" II we do,
then there is but one course to pursue.
Enact legislation which will make cap
ital feel secure and which will attract
it to the State. Don't seek to pass
legislation which will brighten it
away and prevent it from being invest
ed in Maine.
It's all very we'll to discuss in an
academic way the protection of the
peoples rights in the water powers
but If ever they are to do the people
any good, either directly or indirectly,
these water powers must be harnessed
and utilized to the best possible advan-
tage. Maine needs the impetus which
the development of her water powers
would bring to her. They may be
very pretty to look upon, nice to talk
about and afford pleasant subjects for
Wis ionaries to dream over, but to give
Names people any tangible returns,
to bring to them business, industry
and prosperity. something else must be
done bes ides looking, talking or dream
ing about them.
All of which is tantamount to say
ing, and with what emphasis we may
that with the adjournment of the
Legislature two weeks or so away, this
is not the time to compel any hasty
action on the water power question
which may later be regretted. We
don't believe the people want Chi
nese wall built about the borders of
Maine to keep capital out of the State.
We don't believe the people want to
have DOGGY man in the shape of pro-
posed legislation set up to scare away
all whom might otherwise come here
to help us turn our water powers into
something which will bring to us real
wealth.
The State Water Power commission
advocated and advised the STATE build
ing storage basins to conserve the
water powers which is what should be
done, and as soon as a plan to do it
can be devised. But this commission
did not advise any scheme of taxation
on water powers, nor did it advocate
the enactment of any law to be used
as the entering wedge for the public
ownership of such powers. The Legis-
lature will show itself to be wise if it
sticks as close as may be to what the
Water Power commission has advis ed,
and chaSeS no rainbowS.

MAINE MEDICAL SCHOOL

In the last fourteen years the num-
Der of medical students in the coun-
try has decreased from 2S,000 to a.
600. Teachers and ministers are
diminishing in numbers. Shall we
lose our doctors also?
Foreigners are coming in fast and
bringing in foreign diseases. We
need doctors to fight these diseases
Maine boys bred and trained in Maine
will make the best Maine DOCTORS
Shall we refuse to educate our Maine
boys in Medicine?
The Medical School of Maine has
been turning out doctors for over one
hundred years. Shall the State de-
Shall Maine become medical prov
ince of Massachusetts? Is this liv-
ing up to our motto "Dirigo," I di-
rect?
Have you forgotten the ''f1u?" Did
you need a doctor then? Do the
good men and women of our farms
need medical attention?
Who kept our boys clean and we'll
in Europe? The doctors looked out
looked after in Europe than in Maine =?
Economy is not always efficiency,
but efficiency is economy. Bowdoin
College and Mr.. Chisholm offer
Maine nearly half a million dollars
for medical education. If the state
turns down this offer, the opportunity
is forever lost.
The annual cost of running the
Medical School will not increase.
There is only one department. There
are only six major studies in a med
ical school There is no chance for
expanding in all directions as in a
university. Widening in medicine
means specialties. A man goes to
Boston or New York for these.
Teachers are educated in Normal
Schools maintained by the state. Why
not educate our doctors in Medical
School SO maintained?
Shall we make 1t virtually impossi-
bic for the average Maine boy to OBJ
tain a medical education by obliging
him to pursue his studies outside the
state at twice the cost? Is it likely
that the majority of doctors so edu-
Gated will return to Maine to practice
medicine? X

cRlTlcIzINe CENSORSHIP

A keen and effective criticism of
attempts to censor art is that of Sam
uel L. M. Barlow in the March num-
Der Of the North American Review.
Referring to the abolition by the
Puritan rebellion of the theatre he
asks: What then happened after the
restriction was removed?" In an
swering it he refers to Pepy's diary
and finds there confirmed the fact
that when, at the rare behest of a
licentious court, an indecent play was
put on, the public refused to patron
ize it. The creed of our faith in
America, Of our liberty and our law,
has ever been made articulate by the
voice Of the people. Are they so de-
PRAYED that they cannot Judge? 80
Public indecency, to persist, must
have support and it is on record that
indency is not popular. Can the pub
lie no longer be trusted?"
Gan the public be trusted?" If it
can't be trusted as well today, after
all the work that has been done in
the name of progress and enlighten-
ment since the days of the corrupt
English court, one could easily find
grounds for skepticism respecting re-
form altogether.
We think the great majority Of the
public can be trusted to frown on
indecency. We have faith in the In
herent decency of the people. We also
have faith that If aroused 1t would
compel by removal of its patronage
the decent in art as in ether things.
We have recently seen demonstrated
in the sstrike" against high prices the
effectiveness Of its power when called
into action. II there may be agencies

BELFAST
Receive Word of Death of Mrs.
John Campbell Weir-Re-
Sumo Work Concrete Bridge

City Marshal NJ. r. Knowlton re-
ceived telegram this morning an
nouncing the death in Brooklyn of his
niece, Mrs. John Campbell Weir, for
merly Miss Lee Gregory, daughter of
the late Rev. Thomas B. Gregory and
Mabel Knowlton Gregory. While the
greater part of her life has been spent
in Brooklyn, where her father was
located for many years, she was
frequent summer visitor to Belfast,
the girllood home of her mother.
She was 80 years of age and is sur
vived by her husband and two chill
dren. No particulars of her death
have been received, but three days
ago she was perfectly we'll, according
to letters received here from her.
AS Lee Gregory, she is well re-
membered in Belfast and her beauti-
full voice was one of her greatest at
fractions. She frequently sang here
for public affairs during her visits
and the news of her death is shock
to her many friends. She has several
uncles in Belfast besides City Mar
shall Knowlton and several aunts,
brothers and sisters of her mother.
Her home in Brooklyn was in Glen
wood Road.
Work which was suspended during
the past two months. owing to wea-
Their conditions, has been resumed on
the concrete bridge which is under
construction in Belfast This bridge,
which replaces the old, lower bridge,
so called, is of concrete with steel
draw and when completed will cost
some $275,00O, the expense to be
shared by the Federal Government,
the State, county and city. The con-
struction work was started last Fall
and it is expected that it will be COM
pleted jim the late summer. The bridge
connects Belfast with East Belfast,
crossing the Passa riv-
er as it flows into Belfast Harbor
During the building of the bridge all
traffic is obliged to make detour,
passing over the upper bridge about
a mile up the river.
The old bridge collapsed one hour
before General Pershing entered the
city last fall while on his Maine
tour, a heavy truck dropping through
the wooden draw. The Pershing par
ty was obliged to go out of its way
and cross by the upper bridge.
