The Cross Roads
portland Press

Maine industrially and politically is
now at the cross roads. Two ways
appear Immediately ahead which may
be taken. One~will lead to progress,
peace and prosperity. The other is
quite certain, as it seems to us, to
lead to dscord and disaster.
There are great interests in Maine
which are fearful that they are to be
subjected to attack and heavy losses.
They have been led to believe that
an effort may be made to undermine
the very foundation upon which their
future depends. These interests may
be justified in looking upon things in
this way or they may be mistaken
but the fact remains that they are
suspicious. on the defensive and pre-
pared, if need be- to fight to the bitter
end any individual or movement
which may seem to be threatening
them.
These interests have much at stake
and wrapped up in them lies the i'm
mediate progress of Maine so far as
it's industrial development is con-
cerned While they are uncertain as
to what may be attempted against
them in the future they are at a
standstill. They will invest no mony.
carry out no plans they have made,
do nothing to advance their UNDER
takings and only mark time. All the
people of Maine will suffer because of
this. The whole state comes to a
standstill until it is determined what
the policy is to be and what may be
done.
We believe there is really no need
for this uncertainty, hesitation and
fear. We believe that little frank
ness on the part of all concerned, a
showing of the cards. a clearance of
the issues, complete and thorough
discussion of all the questions in
yolVed might bring about a satisfac-
tory adjustment of all the problems
involved. If this could be done Maine
road which leads to peace, prosperity
and progress If it is not done we
shall travel along the road which may
lead us into unknown regions where
disaster may be encountered and
where discord reigns.~
With someone rests the power and
upon someone lies the responsibility
of bringing about a settlement Of all
the troublesome questions. 1t is an
opportunity which should not be neg
lected. Maine will gain nothing by
permitting the forces which seem to
be recruiting their strength to come
to battle. If in a show down there
appears to be no way in which
these questions can be settled
without conflict then it must come,
but in this, as in all human affairs.

The attitude of the Associated In

It is a hazardous thing in any bust

THE "lAMM MIN LIMIT"

One of the Journals very good
friends was much impressed by ar
incident which recently attracted his
attention and which he generously
passes on as perhaps applicable To
some Of the affairs which get report
ed in newspapers. Small boys were
playing ball in a rather congested
area and one of them knocked out a
long liner which under more favora-
BILE conditions would have been
termed three Dagger" and started
to run the bases. He was called back
by the umpire as his hit had gone
outside the lammin' limit"
Surely here is a theme for simon-
pure philosopher, real choice bit of
world wisdom instinctively acquired
BY young American lads engaged in
playing Americas game of baseball
under restricted conditions and max
ing a success of it. 1t is almost a
sacrilege Tor a mere newspaper man
to touch upon such vital principle
ever so cursorily Yet, come to think
Of it, this 'lammin' limit" is a very
common place feature as we'll as an
essential of civilized existence.
Broadly applied it means that if we
are to associate amicably and ad-
vantageously. we are not to project
our own purposes into the sphere of
the other fellows rights, to the lat
ters injury. The bully who struts
the street in his conceit of physical
Erowess recognizes the ''lammin' linn
It's" or comes to grief.
In a recent war, which so many ap-
pear to have forgotten, one people lie
fused to recognize all 'lammin'
limits" and the rest of us are almost
s0rTy We recognized the 'lammin'
limits" when we got them on the run
Yet, probably, time will reveal the
wisdom Of SO doing. There must be
"lammin' limits if human beings -. .
70 dwell together in any condition
above savagery. and even some saw
ages are said to observe such limita-
tons
The Irish situation is outside
the "lammin' limits" and both par
ties are duly concerned therea,
and the rest of the world is disguised
Mr.. Gompers has usually been quick
b discern the 'lammin' limit" and

but unless Congress attends to thai
