claims of our Club for sowing the first |
seeds FOR this line of work, In our |

pers on this subject which / dare say
caused each member TO look about their
home block and contemplate the remov-
al OF distractions to improvements.
NeighborhOOd gossip on the subject dis
covered other hearts alive to the work.
So IL became apparent that two or three
Christian women had the street east of
the Methodist parsonage upon their
hearts for improvement. The greatest
obstacle here was not the work to be
done. nor lack of money. but the legal
right Of n family to hold ground and a
fence I'm the street because said fence
had been there over fifty years. Right

RESPECTFULLY REFERRED TO
BORAH

In plea being sent out for sup
port of the American Relief Admin
istraton in Russia the chief of the
communication division tells of the
pitiable plight of little children wan
dering around the streets at Moscow,
"toddling along in a kind of stupor,
stopping to press wistful face
against a shop window or creeping
under a cart for SHELTER" raking over
garbage for food and congregating
like little animals. The relief work.
ers are trying to get clothes and food
for these.
Another description from the same
source describes a lady of about
sixty years applying for work. She
could speak and translate Russian,
English, German and French lam
guages, refined, cultured woman.
She was clad in rags, had no stock
lngs and only worn out shoes of
man upon her feet. She had starved
and struggled and yet her condition
is said to have been better than the
majority of Russian women, most of
whom have no shoes at all.

existing in Russia under the czars.

ton possible. And in all that he has

nize and take into fellowship.

THOSE STOCK DIVIDENDS

The reports of dividends in the
textile industries naturally excite

operatives. Manifestly industries

ment to workers must make some
money and there will be lean years
as wei as fat years. Not all tho
textile industries, it will be noticed.
are declaring dividends notwith-
standing the opportunity the war af-
forded. On the other hand some of
the dividends may cause a feeling of
discomfort among the employees.
They will do we'll to have in mind
a feature brought out by an English
employer. He had cut wages and
his employees threatened to strike.
He called them into conference,
Showed them the accounts and con-
vinced them that under the existing
wages the concern was going behind.
But. they said, what about the profits
YOU made during the war. He retort-
ed: Where in hades would you be
If there had been no profits:''
One fairly may infer that in many
Of these instances where a stock
dividend is issued consideration is
had that this disposition of the earn
ings is not subject to a rake off by
the federal government, although
this doubtless is by no means the
only consideration. The capital is so
kept in the business, which in order
to pay dividends must continue to
run and earn profits thereon. If
nifty per cent stock dividend is issued
every holder of ten original shares
gets five more but on the day they
are issued the fifteen are worth no
Wore than were the original ten
shares. The profits are still in the

stockholders. and in most instances
they could have sold the original ten
shares for as much as they could get

Editors Letter Box
Wants Each To Do Par:

Augusta, Me-, Dec. 18th. 1922
Editor of the Kennebec Journal,
Dear Sir
II see from my house by the side
OF the road, By the side of the high
way of life, The men who pass with
the ardor of hope. The men who are
faint with strife. But turn nos
away from their smiles nor their
tears. Both parts of an infinite plan;
Let me live in my house by the side
OF the road and be friend to man.
II know there are brook-glad-
dened meadows ahead, And noun
tains of wearisome height; That the
road passes on through the long at
ternoon, And stretches away to the
night. But still I rejoice when the
travellers, And weep with the stran-
gers that moan. Nor live in my
house by the side of the road, Like
a man who dwells alone"
Now the above words of Sam Wal
ter Foss, being part OF my creed,
my religion would be vain If I did
not subscribe so in response to your
appeal in behalf of those stricken
people on Capitol street. and will
wear my old last years rags and re-
frain from buying a single Christ
mas present in order to do so, for
l am feeling most wretchedly poor
just now, owing to the fact that l
have recently paid out $500 to car
penters and painters, the plumber
and electrician, for doing $500 worth
of work on my house which took
them only a few hours to do, caus-
ing me the loss of about $500. Now
this loss on that little job of repair
ing is $50 more than what the City
paid me for taking care of two parks
six months the past season. Now
the reason why I do not demand
higher pay for this work so it would
l have had to pay for work done for
me is because my reason has not
yet been dethroned by uncontrol-
la BILE greed, frenZied finance. Com
perism, nor my conscience scared as
with a red hot iron. Now if a man
who is working for wages that are
within reasonable bounds can afford
to give $40 the workman here above
mentioned ought to be able if he
has not consumed his big wages up
on his own lust. ought to be able to
give twice that much for those
stricken people. And the oculist
ought to be able to give three times
that amount.
Respectfully
A. X. SPAULDING.

CONSERVATIVE VIEW OF PRO-
Hj0lTlON

A certain allowance must be made
for disagreement among honest men
respecting even q fact, much more
respecting a problem in process OF
solution. Accordingly it is not sur
prising that there is a difference of
opinion among people with respect
&c prohibition. Yet it is conspicu-
cusly worthy OF note that wherever
there 10 a decent Observance of the
lew the number in favor of it great
~ exceed those who are opposed.
There was an outcry to the effect
that one result of prohibition was
shortage OF labor in the mining dis
tricts. The manager of the Calumet
& Hecla in Michigan, answering an
inquiry Of the Engineering and Min
ing Journal-Press. declared there had
been an exodus of workmen on that
account. though admitting fewer ac-
cidents and a decrease in loss of time.
On the other hand the manager of
the Calumet & Arizona stated the
general effect of prohibition had been
good: accidents have decreased and
savings have increased. The heads
of At least Ave other large mines in
various sections OF the country re-
port the effect of the prohibition law
generally good. All see a decrease in
accidents. Some complain that
where the law is poorly enforced the
introduction Of "hooch" has caused
some trouble but the poisonous quail
ity sold by the bootlesgers has dis
couraged drinking to quite an extent
and the sale of that kind OF stuff is
on the wane in many places.
The Journal-Press summarizes the
situation this way Favorable to pro-
hibitiion): Increased efficiency. fewer
accidents, less time lost, lower labor
turnover, greater individual savings.
greater comforts and Injuries, better

sing. poisonous liquor, home brew

view Of the testimony that in many
