PRESERVE THE OLD FORTS

Destroy the old forts in Maine and
time will come when people will say:
What a shame to destroy them. Oh,
that we had saved them for their his
torical interest" That should be
thought of now, even though word
comes from Washington that Secre-
tary Weeks says only Fort Baldwin
and Popham at the mouth of the
Kennebec and Fort Gorges in Port
land harbor are thought of in that
connection.
The old earth works of 100 or so
years ago in Maine are yearly visited
by thousands of summer visitors and
people from far points in our own
State. The few remains of old Indian
days forts are treasured-the day is
coming when the later earth works
forts and the granite structures of
Civil War days will be similar curios-
tiles.
The State should not permit them
to be obliterated: they should be pre-
served for future generations.

GALBRAITH SAYS PUB
.L|SH STACKER LISTS
American Legion Must Then
See That Every Loyal Mans
Name Thereon Is INDICATED
and Every towards Stays,
in Big Letters.

Colonel Albert Greenlaw Of East
port, commander of the Department
of Maine, The American Legion, Sat
urday received a telegram from Col.
F. w. Galbraith, Jr., of Indianapolis,
Indiana, the national commander,
saying that Stacker lists which con-
tain the names of men who honorably
served their country in the time of its
greatest peril only strengthens the
convictions that the lists should be
given the widest publicity.
For half a century after the Civil
War thousands of veterans applying
for pensions were found to be erro-
neously listed as deserters and much
embarrassment and hardship result
ed" says the telegram.
1.-THE same situation will arise I'M
less the present lists are cleared up
Immediately" continues the telegram.
publication is the only satisfac-
tory means of clearing them and the
viewpoint of newspapers should be
that they are assisting the innocent
as we'll as Furnishing the guilty.
veterans named in the list suffer
only momentary injustice. Their ac-
quaintances know they served and
they are clear for all time Of the dis
grace of deserving their country.
1.-THE finest thing the Legion can do
in this matter is to pledge it's whole
effort to a speedy vindication of men
whose names appear by error. In
some departments the Legion is
checking lists prior to publication.
This is not inconsistent with the
viewpoint if practicable"

In 1920, according to figures just
made public by the U. S. Department
Of Labor, through it's Children's Blu
reau, 76,194 children took out permits
to go to work in twelve representa-
tive American cities. In 1918 the
number of children receiving permits
in the same cities was only 67,169, in
dicating an increase of over 10 per
cent between 1913 and 1920, while the
increase in population of these cities
was estimated to be IA per cent The
peak of child labor is shown to have
been in 1918 owing to conditions fol-
lowing the war. This slight decrease
is somewhat encouraging.

"A burning cigarette butt beside a
woods road in northern Maine may
mean much to the business manage
ment of the Texas Daily Bugle."
These are the words used by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture to remind
newspaper publishers of their interest
in the protection of our forests and it
then supplements facts in support of
this. About five and half million
cords of wood are ground up to make
paper for the newspapers every year.
From all this and other data the De-
partment concludes there is but ten
years supply of wood remaining.
When is considered the burning over
during the past five years Of four and
a quarter million acres of this pulp
wood territory the conclusion must
be that, whether there be supply for
ten or fortwenty years, we are mighty
careless with our resources.

May 20, 1921.
To the Editor of the Kennebec Jour-
nal,
Dear Sir
noticed in the Journal this morn
ing that a person signing their name
as w. S. M. is waiting with interest
to hear of the conditions of labor
unions with apprentices. In speak
ing for the Carpenters, I will quote
Section AZ, paragraph L of our Gen.
eral constitutions:
An apprentice of good moral char
acter between the ages of seventeen
and twenty-five years may be admit
ted to membership as a semi -bene-
fetal member, and after having
flying in accordance with the Consti-
tuition and Laws of the United Broth
erhood, he shall be classed as full
beneficial member and entitled to the
donations prescribed for beneficial
members, and notification of his
! transfer to the beneficial class shall
be forwarded, in the next monthly
report to the General Secretary for
record.
The wage scale for apprentices at
present in local GA of Augusta and
vicinity, shall be not less than forty
cents per hour for the first year, fif-
ty-three cents per hour for the Sec
ond year, sixty-seven cents per hour
for the third year, and seventy three
cents per hour for the fourth year
and the employer shall pay transpor-
tation when working outside of the
city of Augusta. No apprentice shall
be required to do work other than
journeyman carpenters.
The initiation fee for an appren-
tice is $500 and while our consti-
accompany the application we give
them three weeks to pay it if they
prefer to do so.
We help them to secure employ
ment as far as we can, but it is usu-
ally up to them to secure work and
hold their job. There has been quite
lot of talk through your columns
about men loafing on the job. I
would like to state that our organiza-
ton doesn't uphold nor stand behind
any man that isn't willing to give
eight good hours for day, and any
foreman or contractor that finds a
man Sinking his duties and dis
, charges him has our full support.
l would request that hereafter any
man or woman who has any criti-
cisms to offer against organized la
Dor through your columns would sign
1 their full name as we are very anxi-
Gus to know who our friends are
Any change in the wage scale for
| journeymen carpenters effects. the
apprentices accordingly.

Gov. Bakers first visit to Bangor in
an official capacity since he attended
the funeral of the late Governor Park
hurst there was unusual interest in his
address. Governor Baxter is a good
speaker and was listened to with
marked attention. He paid a fine
tribute to the late governor and ex-

UGANDA COTTON FOR ENGLAND

It is reported that Great Britain
will purchase from 10000 to $4,000
bales of Uganda (West Africa) raw
cotton during the coming season.
Britain is said to be encouraging the
growth Of cotton wherever possible
in her empire, with view to pur-
chasing it more cheaply than she can
acquire it from the United States.
This will be an added argument
which the South may apply in its
conversion to the policy of protection,
especially in view Of the fact of re-
cent British orders to accept no cot
ton from Galveston unless carried in
British vessels and under British in
surance.
The less cotton the South can dis
pose of to Great Britain, the more it
will desire to dispose of it in the
United States, and increased sales in
the home market can only be accom-
plished by protecting the American
cotton textile industry to such an
extent that it may continue to ex-
pand and consume more of the do
nestle supply.
The stock free trade argument of
the old Bourbon Democracy was laid
down by Hayne in 1882, when he said
on the floor of the Senate:
Now, if the cotton yarns manu-
featured at Great Falls were import
ed from England. instead of being
made in New Hampshire, we should
find the market for $4,000 bales of
our cotton instead of three, so that
instead of gaining market for 5000
bales we should have lost a market
for 5000 bales. If trade was free, the
goods manufactured in this country
would be imported from England and
paid for in our cotton, but in cutting
off the imports, you, of course, to the
same extent diminish our exports"
England naturally will purchase
from her colonies where she can, in
preference to buying from the South.
