NOT THAT KIND oE FRIEND

Friends of Irish Freedom Want
Complete Separation" - Headline
Webster gives these among defini-
tons of FRIEND: one who takes a
strong interest in another's welfare,
an intimate and Trustworthy com
panion, a promoter, one not a foe.
Really those who are insisting that
Ireland refuse the proffered settle
ment with England hardly comply
with these definitions of friend.
Surely If they desire Ireland's well
fare they show lack of wit. They
are not trustworthy companions be-
cause they remain in the safety af-
forded by the laws OF this country
and such shooting as they do is with
their mouths. A trustworthy com.
panion should be on the firing line
in his beloved Ireland. The COM
missions on raising funds would not
amount to much but he could dem
onstrate his trustworthiness,s now
seriously in doubt. But there is a
definition known as ally" "politi-
cal friend" Possibly in this way it
might be possible to refer to the
National Convention of the Friends
of Irish Freedom" as friends. But
no one need worry lest they buy a
gun and set sail to free Ireland for
it's a safe bet they are not that kind
OF friends.

y. S. IN 1925

Washington, Dec. 12-Because of a
considerable dissatisfaction" with
the result of the count in the census
taken last January. the House Cen

lation providing for another enumer-
alton of the population of the United
States in 1925 or some other year pri-
Or to the next decennial census, Sec
rotary Hoover says today in that
portion OF his annual report dealing
with the activities of the Census Blu
reau.
This proposed legislation has nv
approval" Mr.. Hoover SAYS, adding
that lit has frequently been contend
ed that the distribution of the popu-
lation as shown by the reports of the
Fourteenth Census is abnormal: that
prior to that enumeration there was
a great movement from rural to
urban districts which, since the
enumeration, has been neutralized in
large measure by q reverse move
ment; and that this shifting of the
popularfon affected the totals for GER
tain states thus influencing the APP
portionment Of representatives in
Congress"
Census taking In January is disap-
proved on the ground that the
weather in that month is a serious
handicap to the enumerator. delaying
the work and making it necessary
to take unusual precautions to in
sure a complete canvass. The report
says the time for taking the next CEN
sus should be in April, as was the
case before the last census. The
change for the last census was made,

Building Going on
On Southport Island

Considerable building is going on
and planned on Southport island this
fall, according to the Boothbay Reg
lister.
Misses Helen A. Messenger and
Clara Wells of New York City, who
have been coming to Southport for
several seasons, have recently pur-
chased q lot of land from A. Newell
Gray. near the Brown Cow Ledge.
and arc to have big bungalow built
there, facing the harbor. C. S. Gray
has the contract and the lumber has
been ordered and is expected any day,
when work will be begun. The cot
tage viii be ready for occupancy in
June.
The Mess cottage was completed
this summer and the older Mess cot
tage has been extensively altered and
improved for renting.
John A. Thompson & Son have
their work of charging Shore Lodge
well under way. They are up to the
third story now. The addition is
given by building an extension to
join the hotel and the cottage and
will afford about double the former
accommodations.
Howard Thompson has cut the
"Old Homestead" into three sections,
one being left to make a fine cot
tage on the same lot and the other
two sections being moved little dis
lance away, to be made into two cot
taees.
c. p. Atwood OF Salem has pur-
chased cottage lot of A. Newell
Gray and will build cottage there,
probably starting next fall.

THE LOS ANGELES TIMES

The Los Angeles Times was a
topic OF country wide conversation
u years ago. However DESTROYS a
newspaper publisher may be of fame
he would scarcely wish to seek it by
the method inflicted on the Times,
namely by reason of having it's plant
blown up and 20 of it's employees mnr-
dered, all because the paper cham
pioned industrial freedom and the
right of men to work.
This special edition of Dec. 4, COM
memorating the 10th anniversary OF
the paper relates many incidents of
that ordeal through which the Times
and the people of Los Angeles
passed. And down in one corner of
the edition is the statement that dur
! ing the period, Jan. to Oct 81, 1921
the Times printed 2,,271,3S2 agate
lines Of paid advertising, exceeding
in volume every other newspaper in
the United States. A. hard, long fight
but great victory.
A feature of this edition is
an adj too brief accound by
Harry E. Andrews, who will be re-
called as a SON of old Kennebec win
ming his newspaper spurs on the
Lewiston Journal now the managing
editor and part owner of the Times.
OF his doughty chief, General Harri-
son Gray Otis, under whom he served
for many years. he writes: "Fortu-
nate was the man who had Gen. Otis
for friend. ." have never written
much about him but I want to say
now that what impressed me- most
deeply in my my estimate of his
character was the loftiness of his
ideals" On his death his son-in law,
Harry Chandler succeeded him as
president and general manager and
upholds those ideals.

Mr.. Hoover also says that the new
Ddirector of the census. William NJ
Steuart is of the opinion that in order
to advance the work of subsequent
censuses, it Will be necessary that
changes be made in methods of pro-
cedure, if not in the scope Of some of
the inquiries.
1T would hasten the publication OF
figures for the total population" the
report says "if the supervisors in the
various districts made the prelimina-
~ count and announced the popula-
ton, subject to correction. for the po-
litical subdivisions of their districts"
To avoid duplication of effort and
eliminate annoyance to manufactur-
ers and others, the commerce secre-
tary says he has asked the director of
the census to negotiate with other
statistical bureaus of the federal gov
eminent looking to a consolidation of
effort in this direction.
MANY complaints have been re-
ceived from manufacturers and others
concerning the numerous requests
made by the federal bureaus for sta
tistical and other information" MFR.
Hoover says. II feel confident that
in many instances the periodic in
vestigations of the Bureau of Census
are all that is necessary to make and
that the investigation of the other
bureaus could. with advantage, be
discontinued"
Calling attention that part of the
census records were destroyed in Il
recent fire in the Department of Com
merce building, MIR. Hoover declares
that hall of records in which these
documents can be stored and con-
veniently examined is urgently
needed.

ENLIST IN THE HEALTH ARMY.

Recognition of the needs of the
community. the blessed relief that
may be brought to those who suf-
fer, the ways and means to preserve
health and to defend against sick
ness. is peculiarly fitting at Christ
mas time. Indeed, one may not
enter into the full enjoyment of the
Christmas bounties of good fellow
ship except with the consciousness
of having contributed at least a mite
to that which may serve the good
Of all.
So 1t comes about that the sale
Of the Christmas seals and health
bond make special appeal these
days. and rightly so, though the OBJ
l., legations to good health cannot be
satisfied during the brief holiday
season. But it is our privilege now
to meet the hand outstretched with
seals and cross the palm with sill
yer and feel that we have so aided
good cause.
And while doing this let us be
conscious Of a purpose to be enlisted
in the army of good health. The
time is propitious. The world is
aroused to the need of preventive
measures and aware OF the splendid
results which may be secured by
means of them. The millions init
mately involved in the processes of
war came to know something about
the rules for prevention Of disease.
They have not altogether forgotten
them, can never forget the need. The
cause of good health should receive
their support, and will if it COM
mands their respect.
People generally are not so inter-
ested. as once, in discussing the ways
to reach old age by some cure-all
method, some sour milk diet Of a
Metchnikoff, but find themselves ar
irving by way of applying good
sense in prevention. The world
is selfishly concerned in this. The
hand that feeds us may be polluted
though ours be clean. Good health
is only another Of the good things
| which may not be enjoyed to the
full except the enjoyment be quite
general. The life insurance organ
izations are enlightenedly selfish in
their efforts to prolong life. But
they are succeeding. Every agency
that succeeds in this work Is worthy
of our support. Wise selfishness
dictates that we do this thing, that
we help them that we may so help
ourselves. Compassion is good for
the soul. It's commands deserve our
attention. But II these do not avail
then listen to the dictates Of expe-y
rienced selfishness.
Glorious work has been done in
CONT batting tuberculosis. All about
us we find more attention to sani-
tary regulations. we hear less often
the premonitory cough nor often
see the face that is wasted by this
scourge, Of which we already are
getting the upper-hands. But there
are even more insidious diseases
which are contributing to our insane
and. to a thousand and one ills of
life. They should not be permitted
to Turk unrecognized: they should
be fought increasingly and unspar-
ingly. Eternal vigilance is neces-
sary. but 1t also is expensive. 1t
cannot be had without money and
it is well worth having at any
price.
