PEDDLING WORTHLESS ROCK

Perhaps the coal situation needs
more conversation, more conference
between miner and operator. more
interference on the part of the ma
| tional government, more of this talk
on the part of those who do not know
what they are talking about. But
the state chemist Of New Hampshire
makes a statement which should be
acted about.
He declares that in many instances
25fo in weight of the coal bought by
consumers in that state is not coal
at all but slate. Talk about your
'overhead," your cost of transporta-
ton, your cost of delivery and all
that applied to hauling rock around
the country and delivering it-and
collecting pay for it.!
What would be said-and done-if
Maine farmers mixed twenty five per
cent of rocks with their potatoes and
sold by weight? Yet we see no rca-
son why they should not be permitted
to do this as we'll as the sellers of
coal. How many more laws. and en-
forcers of law do we need to regulate
this matter?

VETERANS BUREAU

No one is proud of the way the
Government mismanaged the relief
for disabled soldiers in the beginning
and being the Government it is not to
be supposed to have attained perfec-
ton yet. Nevertheless all the evil
dence shows a wonderful improve
ment since the President insisted
this service should be made effective
and Congress supplied the means to
make it so. Also it appears the
President made a wise selection in
the person of Colonel Charles r.
Forbes as Director of Veterans Blu
reau.
Colonel Forbes has made, this
week, statement respecting the
work which has been accomplished
1t should receive attention for it is
essential to the success of such en-
terprises that the public keep in
formed respecting what is being done.
For one thing it is evident the
Government is not sparing any
money in it's effort to render service
to the disabled. The people do not
wish it should. There is no murmur
from the taxpayers on this account.
Already there has been expended a
grand total of s1,25o,930, 729.9o. Of
this s212,724533.37 has gone for vo-
cational training; s2S2,2S6,GO6 for
insurance; s300,141,766 for COM
pensation; s2S2,049,11o.33 for allow
ances: s35,0S4.37S.4S for marine and
seamen's insurance; s99,566,243.oO for
medical and hospital service; and
s47,07S,092.25 has been expended in
the administration of the relief
Colonel Forbes admits the end is
not yet in sight and when the Bu-
reau was established 10 take over the
work it became necessary to broaden
the scope of rehabilitation and there
are not enough to care for the voca-
tional population, which is estimated
to reach a total of 100000 to 100000.
He declares: mo stone has been left
unturned to provide the disabled
veterans of the World War with every
possible advantage and statements to
the effect that the Government has
been derelict in its duty show an abb
solute lack Of information of what
has been done"
OF what has been done he men,

The Increase in Freight Business.

CRailWay Gge)
The increases IN the number of
carloads of freight shipped have been
so substantial and persistent since
the opening of the year 1922 as to
constitute very persuasive indica
ton that general business is reviving,
Not only did the number of car
loads of freight shipped increase in
every week from that ended January
Z to that ended February 4. but in
each of these weeks the total ship
ments were larger than in the cor
responding weeks of 1921. The total
freight car loadings in the four weeks
ended February 4. 1922, were 2,956.-
166 rs compared with 2.S12,637 in the
same weeks of 1921. an increase of
144,1e9. While the total number of
cars loaded with freight in these
weeks was somewhat less than in
1920, it was larger than in 1919 and,
in fact. seems to have been larger
than In other previous years.
THE most significant feature of
this increase in shipments was that
1t was due to an increase in the num-
Der of cars loaded with most kinds
or commodities. In the four weeks
ended February there was an in.
crease, as compared with the same
weeks of last year. of $3.50 cars in
shipments of grain, 2460 in shipments
of livestock. 1865 in shipments of
coal. 129,476 In shipments of NOR
chandise. and 1862 in shipments OF
miscellaneous commodities. Ship
ments of coke showed a decline OF
ll,ooe carloads. shipments OF forest
products decline OF Ass carloads.

Editors Letter Box
Concerning the Bonus.

To the Editor of the Kennebcc Jour-
| nal:
| am an eX-soldier of the Goth
Division with two years service, IS
months in France and nine months of
continuous action. l was on all the
fronts with the division. namely
| Chemins de Danes, Toule, Chateau
! Thicrry, st. Mihiel and the Argonne,
have been gassed pretty bad and am
in poor physical condition on account
of it. l have just heard of a piece
in your paper that was handed to
you by the Rev. Mr.. Phalen, stating
that he should not think the soldiers
would wish for a bonus, or if they
| did they were not very patriotic, or
words to that effect. l wish to say
that in my estimation, that if a
bunch of men going over to a foreign
country and starving, freezing, dying
from wounds and gas, is not proof of
their patriotism there is no such
proof in the world and that George
! Washington, and all the rest of the
characters in American History are
all jokes, and the country is joke
all the way through.
| 1 also wish to say that it takes a
real man with courage to enlist in the
American Army during a war of that
/ size and kind. Just before l joined
/ there were good many patriotic
takers both high AMI low including
| lawyers. mill owners, and business
men who did not have the great and
glorious chance to take a chance. but
anyway they talked and that helped
out.
| We could never get along in a case
of that kind without few brave and
conscientious windiammcrs to help
| tho cause along. They were noble
men those, the only chance they
ever took was that % putting their
bronchial tubes on the hum, making
an impression on the public. 1t is
the likes of them with their vicious
propaganda that is fighting the bonus.
! If that bonus does not go through
and that clique don't get q little bet
ter sense of honesty, justice and COM
: mon decency in theil blood it is
| liable to throw a suggestion against
J the 1nlnuS VI tile VI wv
! possibility of a certain class in this
country being insincere in their own
| patriotism, selfish, FLOODED, and
cold hearted. and that suggestion is
liable to sink in and become an es-
tablished idea. This is not local
sentiment either. for have Travelled
from Calais. Maine, to Calexico. Cali
fornia, seen them dying from gas,
wounds, shell shock, insanity result
ing from service and starvation on
account of inability to get work or
inability to work after they do get it
and no one cares a d guess. 1t
looks that way to me.
