Heavy Loses Made
Maine Central Cut
K. & L. Train Service

Rockland, Me-, Jan. 12-That the
Maine Central Railroad met with a
ret loss of $1,913,OOO in the first II
months of last year, and that it hand
led 100000 tons less of freight in
that period, was made known by
Vice Pres. George T. Hobbs during a
hearing here Wednesday before the
Public Utilities Commission.
Complaint had been brought by pa
irons of the Knox s, Lincoln Division.
who ask for the restoration of the
train which formerly left Rockland
at p. M. and arrived from Boston
at $50 P. NJ.
"It costs the Maine Central more to
run the two present trains than it
did to run three trains five years ago,
said Mr.. Hobbs.
1.-THE railroad has saved $2,520,0OO
in the IL months mentioned, partly
through the reduced volume of traffic
cost and as soon as we are able to
earn fixed charges. taxes and operat-
ing expenses we will gladly restore
the service on all branches where
curtailment has been found neces-
sary," continued Mr.. Hobbs.

TOLD THAT HE is APPRECIATED

Edward Page Mitchell. to whom
some of the old Bowdoin boys have
been heard to refer as ed. Mitchell
who wrote Phi Chi" and who left the
whispering pines" with the class of
II, must have enjoyed a very pleas
ant evening last Saturday when he
was the special guest of honor at the
twenty-first annual dinner of the
amen Corner" at the Waldorf AS
toria. Not all of the few who have
spent half century in newspaper
endeavors are so favored as to have
their work appreciated and the ap-
probation so recorded. But AIitchelrs
! accomplishments are exceptional any
way.
Martin Glynn of the Albany Times
Union denies the report that Mitchell
was born in Maine and says: "Mr.
Mitchell was born on the mythology
cal hill of the MUSES., where dwell
those nine beautiful maidens, with
golden bands around their locks, per-
sonifying the gentle arts of life. But
even Glynn does not deny that
Mitchell's alma mater is "Old Bow
doin," which also is honored in the
tributes paid to him. And, among
the many, this from President Hard
ing is something to be cherished by
him who has been conspicuous in
American journalism for half a cen
fury, but also by the college from
which he must have received some
what of inspiration: land the best OF
all the good things that may be said
for him is that he has always stood
for the finest newspaper ideals and
the most unselfish and patriotic pub
| lie purposes"

You simply must keep your kidneys

from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and is
harmless to flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activ-

the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless: inexpen-

should take now and then to keep

IRELAND's LINE OF CLEAVAGE

The information received from Ire
land indicates that a line OF cleavage
between the practical and the i'm
practical is being drawn in that
country, between those who want a
chance to work out their own saliva
ton in the best way now obtainable
and those who want to yociferously
want until until the end Of the chap
ter. DeValera declares the cleavage
is "between those standing for de-
pendence and those for independ-
ence." This he might well have am
plified to signify cleavage between
those who stand for dependence on
themselves and those who would be
independent Of all restraint or re-
sponsibility,
Arthur Griffith has been chosen
leader of the former and canon
DeValera inherits leadership of the
latter. The choice must now be
made by the Irish people. AS we see
it, Ireland will be fortunate if the
sentiment expressed by that doughty
fighting blacksmith, John Mckeown
prevails overwhelmingly. He said
in the Dali that if DeValera's plan
was "the national unity I fought
for, I'm a fool" We hope the Johr
McKeowns, the men who want
Irishmen to control the affairs OF
Ireland, to make it country of theil
own, to put the mark made in Ire

ing is the call. A provisional gov.
eminent must be- organized to take
over the work of governing and as
sumo the responsibilities, which will
be many and perplexing. A consti
tuition must be framed: delicate
negotiations must be had with Ulster
which will be greatly embarrassed
unless patience and intelligence ant
spirit of fair play are demonstrated
by those into whose hands the powe
in Ireland has now come.

mended for the position. He has had

ton of the board of public works was
the result of the unrest of the tax

expenditures.

Editorial Comment
Preiudqinq the Conference
On. Y. Tines

Most men are not willing to pro-
nounce a verdict upon the Washing
ton conference until the evidence is
all in. They are waiting particularly
to see what is finally done about ST.
IBERIA and china. But no such hum
drum hesitationS stay condemnation
by our most advanced thinkers. They
hasten to declare the conference
pitiful failure. They mourn over it
meaning that they really rejoice over
it-as merely one more demonstra-
tion that the nations are still in the
control of statesmen who will not
follow the reckoning hand Of the new
world order, and who continue to de-
pend upon intrigue, deceit and mis-
cradle compromise, all making for
oppression and the denial of the as
pirations of the millions who follow
the vision" Everybody is by now
familiar with the jargon which these
tremendously progressive intellec-
tuals use to convey the idea that they
are dissatisfied with everything that
others say and do.
Their philosophy Is gravely satir-
lied by The Villager in an imaginery
dialogue between First and Second
Citizen,O the E,lzabethan model. 1t
is the Second Citizen who sets forth
the principles on which liberal liber-
alism renounces the Washington con-
ference and all its works. The fun
damental rule is that you should
never do anything you can; you
should always try to do what you
know you can't" In this way one
comes to see what is meant by
ideals" There is also moral dis
tinction to be noted: whatever gets
done is wrong; whatever is only
talked about being done is right"
And here comes in the eXhilaration of
being a radical: "All you have to do
to be judged noble is just to talk and
take care that you never put any of
your ideas into practice
This flippant treatment may pain
cur political futurists, who were new
err famous for fumor. But when SOL
emn and oracular gentlemen burst
into print, little ironic laughter is
the indicated way of dealing with
them,
