Railroad Hotels in Maine
(Boston Transcript


In report made by special com
mittee of the stockholders of the
Maine Central railroad is a recon-
mendation that the two summer
hotels now owned by the road be
disposed of as soon as a suitable
price can be obtained for them. The
hotels are large and popular. One
is on Moosehead Lake; the other at
Rockland. The railroad also is in
possession of land at Bar Harbor not
available for railroad purposes. This
ownership recalls stories of plans
once made for the erection Of a great
hotel at the famous resort. The
stockholders committee favors sell
ing this land as well as the hotels.
The action of the committee is not
based upon any intimation that the
hotels are not elf-sustaining. In
stead, it is maintained that the rail-
road should get its capital out Of
the business in order to apply it to
purely railroad purposes.
Hotel ownership by railroads is
not peculiar to Maine. II is an es-
tablished policy of railroads in Eng
land. 1t is included lin the activities
of the Canadian Pacific. IL has been
resorted to in the United States.
There are circumstances under which
it is a logical accompaniment of the
operation of a railroad There are
cases in which business for the rail-
way is undoubtedly fostered by the
provision of suitable place for rest
and refreshment for the weary trav-
eler or the sightseeing tourist.
But there are many summer hotels
in Maine. They are found on the
shores of nearly all the hundred har-
bors. They stand on the wind-swept
hilltops of interior sections of the
State and by the shores of it's many
lnkes. Probably these conditions
were taken into account by the
stockholders who made the report
advising the railroad to dispose of
it's hotels. There may also have been
the feeling that Maine would benefit
as much from the extension of its
railroads as from the maintenance of
railroad hotels. There are within
the state great areas of rich land re-
mote from transportation facilities.
Projects for the building Of independ-
ent railroad3 in Aroostook and WASH
ington counties have recently been
launched. Even in these days Of the
motor truck. there may be opportuni-

Sound Business Sense

WV" vi II L iooiiS/
The insertion of a clause calling for
good moral character n new contracts
with motion picture stars indicates
that Mr.. Hays is earnestly striving to
make good in his now job. Whether
the clause is of his Gcvising or not
it is merely the product Of sound
business sense.
The motion pictures differ from any
other great American industry in that
their appeal is as much to children as
to grown men and women. What the
children are today the country will be
tomorrow. 1t is contended that as
long as the pictures are clean it
makes no difference as to the char
acters of those who appear in them
But this is dull reasoning.
The president of great bank was
lately forced out of office because Of
unpleasant notoriety he had gained
on the outside. No man of bad moral
character could be elected to any i'm
portant office in the country. Motion
picture people known to lead disso-
lutte lives will never he popular with
the decent minded, VINO compose the
great majority of American citizens.
The future of the motion picture in
dustry is secure if the pictures are
kept clean and those who engage in
it behave themselves. The men who
direct it will contribute to the public
welfare by hiring only persons who
know enough to keep out of scandals.
incidentally they will save money by
avoiding contracts that may in the
future have to be kept, although pub
lie opinion will not permit the dis
semination of pictures in which no.
toriously badly behaving actors are
featured.

ASSAULT is ATTEMPTED.
Aiken County Man Arrested on
Charge.

Aiken, Sept. 23.-Wlll Ripley, a
white farmer, about thirty years old
was placed in 3iken Jail late last night
upon the charge of attempted Grim
inal assault en- a fourteen-year-old
white girl, daughter of neighbor in
the Palmetto Farm section, nine miles
from Aiken. The child was on hel
way to get milk from nearby farm
house when she was met by Ripley
on the road and asked if she wished
to ride back home. When she con-
sented and was about to enter the
vehicle Ripley is alleged to have
seized her and dragged her off the
road to the woods. The screams of
the girl brought Mr.. Bombright
Given, owner of the Palmetto Farm,
to her aid. Upon the arrival of
Deputy Sheriff Nollie Robinson to
arrest Ripley the prisoner had to be
struck to the ground before he would
submit to arrest. He is unmarried
and is said to have been drinking
when the attack on the child was
made. The victims clothing was torn
to threads in her struggle. Though
the people of the section are very
Indignant over the affair, they seem
satisfied to let the law take its course

cational displays. Clemson College
under the direction of President W.
NJ. Riggs, will install an exhibit re-
quiring approximately 5000 square
feet of space, while the home demon
stration exhibit, under the direction
of Miss Christine South, will require
a similar amount of space. The pre-
mum exhibits in the agricultural and
horticultural departments will be
more numerous than in the past and
the same is true of the displays in
the art and woman's departments.
In keeping with the high standard
of the educational features, the man.
agement has arranged an amusement
program extraordinary. Harness and
running races are programmed daily,
while between the heats of the races
visitors will be entertained with a
complete circus program, including
stellar acts of daring, skill, and come
dy by stars of the Sawdust arena.
Five days will be devoted to horse
racing. On the closing date, Satur-
day, October %, professional auto
races will be staged. Among other
famous drivers, Sig Haughdahl, cham
pion dirt track driver of the world,
will appear. The Johnny J. Jones
shows, with its myriads of tented at
fractions and riding devices, will be
found on the Joy Plaza. Each night
stupendous display of fireworks will
be presented. The combined amuse-
ment program is the greatest ever
attempted in South Carolina. The
fair ground proper will present a
most pleasing appearance. On every
side Towering embellishments will
greet the eye, while permanent walk
ways shaded with stately palmetto
trees will lead to the exhibit buildings
and various points of interest. Wis
itors will note with pride the magnifi-
cent new buildings and the many
park improvements. The manage
ment gives assurance that everything
will be in complete readiness for the
opening day-Monday, October 23-
and is preparing to entertain vast
crowds during the entire week.
