Late Pope Benedict
Was An Ardent
Militant Feminist

Paris. Feb. 13-(By MaiD-The
late Pope Benedict XIV was a Mill
tant feminist and many times ex-
pressed the opinion that women had
great mission in the world and for
Christianity in particular. but he was
as outspokcn in his criticism as he
was in his praise when some trait in
woman did not meet with his approv-
al.
He thoroughly tlisliked short skirts
According to a story which has just
come from Rome. the Pope noticed
one day crossing the court Of St.
Damaso, a woman who had called at
the Vatican on some business with
the -~Secretariat She was wearing
the latest Paris style of skirt which
barely covered the knees.
Turning TO one of the Bishops near
him, the Pope said: Il really cannot
understand some women. They have
no respect for anyone, not even the
Pope. In the days Of my youth l re-
call that all the young girls, my sis
ters for instance. were pestering their
mothers to put them in long skirts.
Now it appears that all the old wo-
men wish to wear short ones"

Duty Of Republicans Is Plain
(The Republican JournaD


Two weeks from next Monday the
voters of the Third Congressional
District of Maine will choose a man
TO represent them and voice their
sentiments in the House of Repre-
scntatives. Hon. John E. Nelson is a
citizen of character. ability and force,
and, we believe. will measure we'll up
to the notable efficiency Of his pred
ecessor. Hon. John A. Teters. This
is strong Republican district. but
the Republicans should not be caught
mapping. The number of votes cast
for Mr.. Nelson and Mr.. Viles in the
recent primaries were less than the
Democratic vote for governor in 1920
In fact the vote for both these gen
tlemen was a little less than one
quarter of the Republican voting
strength of the district as indicated
by the result of the election of Gov
ernor in 1920. In the last state cleo
ton Waldo county cast 1855 votes, for
Mr.. Parkh6rst and 1852 for Mr.. Nc
lLtire. In the recent primary cleo
ton the total vote for beth Republic
can candidates was only 1881. At the
least. Waldo county should give Mr..
Nelson $500 votes. The duty of the
Republicans of Waldo county is plain.
All up for Hon. John E. Nelson.

WE'VE GOT TO FACE 1T

When we were in the midst of that
great emergency. the war, we real
lied to the full the embarrassment of
an inadequate merchant marine and
we said: never again" We poured
money into sh:pbuilding without
stint. Peace found the Government
saddled with burden of poorly con-
structed shipping. Into the bearing
Of that burden the country poured
other millions, at one time around
sixteen millions month. We are yet
putting in money we cannot expect to
get back and must continue to do so
as long as there shall continue Gov
ernment management of that feet.
No one doubts these facts. No in
telligent person can doubt the need
Of American shipping to carry our
commerce and to serve in time of
great national emergency as the Sec
ond line Of naval defense. No one
Of all the government ownership
theorists has had the hardihood to
openly favor the continuance of a
Government feet.
These facts being incontrovertible,
likewise the further fact that under
present conditions-and we do not
want to lower the standards of the
men who man the ships-we are un-
able to compete successfully with
other countries whose standards are
lower, what do we propose to do
about it? There is no evading the
issue. If we don't adopt the right
method and do it quickly the oppor.
tunity is lost. Beating around the
bush will only aggravate the trouble.
The President has stated the case
fairly and we believe wisely. His
plan assuredly will be less expensive
than the impractical one now in ef-
feet. 1t has to meet the age old op-
position in this country to direct SUBJ
sides for our shipping. That preju-
dice will be played upon by our sea-
faring rivals. They do rot wish the
plan advanced by the President to be
approved.

A SENSIBLE RESOLUTION

Here is some good common sense
that was included in a resolution
passed by the Harold T. Andrews
Post Of the American Legion, as re-
ported in the Portland Press Herald:
"Whereas, certain individuals rep
resenting themselves to be ex-servlce
men now living in Portland have
written letters to our newspapers
condemning Congress and the Presi-
dent of the United States in language
un-American for their failure to en-
act compensation, and, whereas, these
letters have aroused considerable
comment, and many people believe
they are typical of the sentiments of
the members of the American
Legion"
Therefore. be it resolved, by the
Harold T. Andrews Post of the
American Legion, that, while re-af-
firming it's belief in the justice of the
adjusted compensation bill, this post
does not subscribe to the bitter
vindictive. Bolshevistic attitude OF
these letters or to the methods of
their writer's, and repudiates as con-
trary to the spirit and ideals of the
American Legion, both the letters
and the men who have written them"
On tho other hand it is but fair
to say that the great majority of peo-
pie do not approve abuse of the ex-
service men who want a bonus. They
react to this just as others would do
in their places. They are not any
greedier. any more disposed to loot"
the treasury than are those who OBJ
ject to the bonus. We would expect
most of the objectors were they in
the shoes of the ex-servicc men to be
fully as insistent, and very likely more
SO. Moreover all this does not prove
the bonus logical or illogical, practi-
cal or impracticable There are gen.
erous. representative Americans who
sincerely believe the bonus wrong in
principle and unwise in application.
Ihey have right to support their
views by argument, as have the men
who want bonus. And when all is
considered neither has any right to
abuse the other.

Maine Central in the past to take the
public into it's confidence in all things.
1t may not have seemed wise to let
the people know all of the difficulties
and troubles which the railroad man
agement were confronted with. The
directors of the property have prop
ably felt that the railroads interests
would not be advanced by COMPLAINTS
cisms were to be made. one OF them
would be that the railroad officials
have not been in close enough toueb
with the people of the State. This
ing which should exist between the
Maine Central Railroad and the people
it serves has not been emphasized q
enough. We believe. however. that
more distinct effort in this direction
will be made and. ii it is made. it will
help materially in extricating the
Maine Central from whatever difficult
ties it may be encountering and in the
long run it will contribute materially
to its prosperity.
Our railroad is wonderful bust
ness proposition. 1t serves all IN"
people of the State, on the whole \
very prosperous state. and one whicA
preston which has been so marked IN
ether sections of the country. Maine
has many fourishing, industries at
this moment. 1t has many mills and
factories which are turning out what
might be considered normal quantity
of goods. At the very lowest point
in business depression Maine. taking
everything into consideration. has
been doing better and its people have
been doing better. than the majority
of the other states. The railroad
which serves these Maine industries
cannot fail to be a success. Event
ualy the Maine Central is certain to
regain the great prosperity and divi-
dend earning capacity it was so just
ly famed for having before the war.
The stockholders committee which
has just been named to assist the rail-
road management in certain directions
is composed of very able men who en-
joy the confidence of the people. 1t is
almost certain to be of material help
to the railroad management and the
fact that it was appointed indicates
how dcsirous the directing spirits of
the railroad are to cultivate closer
relationship between the company and
the public which it serves.

A committee of the Maine Central
stockholders has been named to con-
slider some of the problems confront

representative business men from
various sections of the State and it's
