MAKING 1T NEWS

Some may question the value Of the
conference which the President is to
call for consideration of conditions of
unemployment throughout the coun-
try. If so it will be because they
haven't given sufficient heed to the
workings of the leaven of publicity.
Even il the conditions are already
known, which isn't probable, how
may they be emphasized. compared
and the experience with remedies CO.
ordinated and applied? 1t will be i'm
possible for representatives of the
various interests throughout the
country to meet and talk things oyer
without arriving at some general
comprehension of the situation, and
possibly at concerted action which
otherwise might not be had,
A feature not to be lost sight of is
the publicity which this conference
will give to the subject under con-
sideration. Were someone to write
descriptively of all the facts it might
not be considered news and so find
space in the columns of the public
press. This conference, however,
will be news for the front page; there
will be quite lengthy reports of the
information there considered, of the
opinions there advanced. Not only
news but so will the public, which
might turn from reading the same
facts presented in a scholarly article,
as being too dull

WAR DOES NO. PAY

War does not pay" was the utter
ance of Franklin D'Olier, the former
national commander Of The Ameri-
can Legion, at the dedication on Fri
day last of the ROOSEVELT bridge over
the Marine, named in honor of the
late President and his son Quentin.
He added: ut is as useless and as
senseless as dueliing between in
dividuals." John G. Emery, the
present national commander of the
Legion, expressed a similar thought
at the unveiling of the French monu-
ment to the A. E. F. at Flirey.
Let the veterans Of America and
France, strong in the tradition Of VIC
tory, turn their energies to the
problem Of guarantee of permanent
peace. If we unite and haves the
courage to speak of what is in our
hearts, nothing can successfully OPP
pose US"
I'VE fought in the recent war and
therefore cannot be accused of dis
satisfaction with the result" Mr.
D'Olier also said. las ex-service
men we represent the average citizen
who always has to pay the price of
any war Let us dedicate ourselves
TO the task of impressing on our pub
lie leaders the lesson that we know:
that war does not pay, and let us in
sist that they SO conduct our affairs
as a nation, that even though we
play hard We shall play so fair and
so square a game that wars in the
future will be buried in that same
deep grave where duelIing so fortu-
nately lies.
IF the ex-service men of all coun-
tries should join in this effort and
tell their national leaders just what
we mean. the millions of our com
rades who gave their all for their
respective countries will not have
died in vain"

WHAT THE BOYS NEED

IF you can possibly manage to
keep my boy in your camp for ahoth
err month his mother and / sincerely
wish you would do so. When he left
home for the c. NJ. T. c. he seemed
to think he was boss here and he
very nearly put it over I have
never seen such a change in boy in
such a short time and we both wish
that he might have another month of
your training, since it has developed
all the fine qualities in him that had
hitherto been hidden.
The Camp Devens correspondent of
the Boston Globe reports this as part
of a letter received from Il parent Of
one of the lads receiving military
training in the Red White and Blue
course prescribed at the citizens
training camp. Some twelve hundred
of the youngsters were favored this
year and it is expected that the ap-
plications will be more another year
Three months is the time prescribed
for the entire course. a month each
year, the red" being the part of the
course for the first year and pertain
ing to the fundamentals
Those who take advantage of this
training receive no pay but get
transportation and sustenance OF
the latter some estimate may be
made from the fact that while the
cost of rations for the guardsmen is
but little over thirty cents per day
the cost of the rations at the citizens
training camp where the boys are
fed, is around seventy-five cents per
day Well fed, carefully drilled and
supervised, with plenty of work and
healthful play to keep them fit,
Drowned, erect, self reliant, no one
who has seen them will be surprised
at the commentator of parents on
the results.

PRICE FIXING

Price fixing by government edict
has failed every time it has been
tried and it has been tried off and on
for the last 1000 years. The reason is
simply because it is not fair to fix
the prices of some commodities or
services unless You fix the prices of
all commodities and services. No
man or group of men is competent to
fix a fair schedule of prices for all
commodities and services. Injustice
imposed by law will react on those
who are it's benefciaries. Sooner or
later the working of the eternal law
of compensation will equalize the in
justice.
Fixing prices may be to the ad
vantage of one class this year but
there will be a reaction next year to
the injury of that class. If prices are
fixed too high. there will be over
production; of too low, there will be
under-production. And, in any event,
price fixing by government is a set
ting aside of the right of equal OPP
portunity which the government is
bound to protect. Favoritism in one
instance leads to favoritism in an
other, the creation of a spirit of an
tagonism toward government a feel
ing that an injustice has been i'm
posed under the forms of law.

Editorial Comment
A Nation Of Daily Readers
philadelphia Bulletin)


Foremost among all the nations of
the world in respect Of the, number
of newspapers and newspaper read
ers, the United States has stood for
nearly a century. So far do the sep
arate journals exceed those of any
other nation that it is a case of
eclipse was first and the rest no
where" European publicistS have
attributed to this most f1ourishing
institution of n free press a large
share of credit for the strength of
the republic. .
In this view there is deep signifi-
canoe in the statistics just published
by the census bureau. More than
1880 100000 copies of daily news
papers printed annually allow one
copy each day to every three and
one-fifth persons in the total popu-
lation of the United States. The
daily newspapers circulated 30. 49,
93I copies each day in 1919.
Newspaper reading grows steadily,
but so does the cost of production
The $612, 1855 valuation of the to-
tai product in 1919 represented
an increase of 116 per cent in five
years. That the newspaper and not
the periodical or magazine is the
popular medium of information and
advertising is convincingly proved by
the fact that the total circulation of
all semi-weekly, tri-weekly, weekly.
monthly and quarterly publications
in 1919 aggregated less than 1880
100000 as compared with more than
,2o0. 10000 for the dailies. These
figures serve to vivify the abstract
conception of the power of the press.

Editors Table

The Kennebec Journal is in receipt
of a copy of the History of the New
York Times-1S51-1s21" by Elmer
Davis of the Times editorial staff,
which it appreciates, The book has
437 pages, with frontispiece of
Adolph S. Ochs, president of the
company. over 80 illustrations of 9TH

torial workers and nearly 20 fac
smile pages of the Times. The
book was prepared in commemora-
ton of the 25th anniversary of the
present management. 1t has an in
PRODUCTION by President Ochs. in
which he expresses his pleasure ana
satisfaction with what has been ac-
complisned in that time and his ap-
probation of the valuable assistance
received from the staff and CO.
the work deals with the paper from
it's inception and first published
number to date. The beginnings of
the Times covered from 1851 to 1859,
when it had passed from its early
struggles to a paper of prominence
and weight. 1t stood firmly for Lin
coin and was a great news medium
during the Civil war as well as back
ing the government to the limit. The
Times fight against the Tweed
gang. with the final breaking up of
that organization. was a memorable
one. 1t played a great part in ma
tional politics throughout its career,
although through the advocation Of
certain policies from time to time it
suffered serious business reverses.
The next article covers the period
from 1884 to 1896 as 1.-THE Times in

it's beliefs, convictions and deeds

Today is reached. The roster alone
of the Times Company fills over II
pages. 1t is an interesting book
much more SO than some published

The summer just passing has been
one of the most agreeable We have
had in Maine in a long time. from the
standpoint of those who like to get
looked upon it wholly with favor for
the lack of rain has dried up some of
their crops. but of course we cannot
have weather to suit everyone.
But we have had warm pleasant
days and it has certainly been very
fine for the Automobiles, the tourists
and those who are fond # out-of-
door sports
There has been one ball club
though, which hasn't worried wheth-
er it has rained or not. That is the
Augusta team, owned and operated
by Ben Houser, a ball man of wide
reputation. The reason-for this has
been that the Augusta man insured
his club against rain, the very first of
the season, and the weather man is
SO perverse a fellow that we have
wondered some whether this insur-
ance policy hasn't had something to
do with the drouth that has prevailed
in the sections where his team has
been scheduled to play.
There is nothing so effective in
staving off trouble as taking precau-
tons against it. A concern that car
ries liability insurance has less &C
cidents than one which does not. and
if a mans house is ever going to burn
down, it is apt to suffer the next day
after he has allowed his policies to
expire. by carelessness or otherwise.
But thus far insuring against rain
hasn't been profitable for the Angus
ia club. 1t has paid it's premiums
and it hasn't had rainy day for the
whole summer. Could anything be
more perverse than that?
