his birthright of patriotism. 1t is shock
ing that such things can exist while we
complacently look on, deaf to their
ominous significance.
AN analysis of the cry of these false
prophets reveals il as menace to law
and order. To their minds every po-
liceman is a tyrant and any army Is
threat 1t is these elements that hold
officers of the law up TO ridicule. and
weaken the cause of good government.
1t should be the plain duty OF every
good citizen to support our selected OF
ficials of the law by word and act and
create IN the minds of coming genera
tions, both by example and precept,
respect for authority, without which
government must fail.
"It has been truthfully said America
is the melting pot OF mankind, but IT
must be fully recognized that all these
divergent elements should be made into
reliable citizens If we hope to fulfill the
glorious promise of our past We hold
out hope to the downtrodden, and offer
an asylum to the oppressed, but they
must not BRING here destructive propa-
ganda against this Government for
which our fathers have fought and died
In assimilating these elements 1t is
especially essential that we teach them
our national tongue and our own ma
tional ideals.
"Proclaiming constructive freedom and
liberty for all, we, cannot tolerate the
license of harmful purpose in any. We
should especially condemn those socie-
ties which encourage crime or under
take to deprive any citizens not of their
organization or belief of his rights to
liberty and the pursuit Of peace as
guaranteed by our Constitution.
There are countless panaceas that
offer immunity against destructive IN
fluences. but the remedy is actual train
ing in citizenship. There is no way to
emphasize and impress the youthful
mind that will bring greater results
than through some outward physica.
effort. In any event, we must teach all
citizens what America stands for and
encourage them to strive for the full.

amid the applause OF the native sons,
that zone doesn't find many New Eng

Grounded In Democracy.
THE reason for this" he said. sis
that the people of Maine are better
grounded in the fundamentals OF our
institutions than those of almost any
other State. The people OF New Eng
land know that democracy does not
mean that the Government owes the
people everything, but that the people
owe something to the Government.
II believe New England and the peo-
pie OF New England are the greatest
factors that support our institutions Ii
through some catastrophe all New Eng
land and it's descendants were wiped
out OF existence our institutions woulu
rot on their foundations
The reason for the kind of men and
women that Maine has been sending out
in the last century lay, Dr. Gray said.
in the field of physical geography our
stern and rockbound coast, or. to be
precise our sterner and more rockbound
coast. the long and severe winter. the

Climate has something to do with
the character. Had the Pilgrims landed
in Southern California we might have
had less occasion to celebrate their

Referring to a 26 per cent. increase
in attendance at public schools, two
and -a-half times multiplied high school
attendance and an eight times multiplied
college attendance in Maine in fifty
years. DR.. Gray ppphesied that the

for great statesmen, and / would rather
have the statesmanship OF some OF those
common sense rural gentlemen than the
era aftmanship of some of the continental
persons who are performing on 'he pun
lie platforms of to-day.
The former Governor Of Massachusetts
deplored the key hole diplomacy
adopted by America toward some OF the
international questions and stronsly
urged that America take part III 'ne
various controversies. at least TO the ex-
ktent of lending its advice to help stapii-
ize the situation, instead of merely act-
ing as q ''listener-in.'
..T-he European problem Is to an ex-
tent our own problem" he said. our
obligation rests upon the fact that we
went over there and fought their ilsn''
If America had served notice tnat sIie

appeal of the Emperor OF austria Ior
peace might not have fallen on deaf ears.
h,t we sent our men over there and that
animated them with new courage ana
.hev continued the fight. Now we should
do more than merely stand by and
listen"
The speaker also warned against the
ever Increasing burden of taxation. He
pointed to Italy as a nation of beautiful
ruins" because the Roman civilization
crumbled to decay under unreasonable
taxation. and pictured the possibility OF
England succumbing in a like manner.
America" he said is not immune
from something Of that sort. The
Government is devouring the resources
of the state In it's struggle to get
revenue, and Is even reaching out TO tax

represented, and all the ques-
tions which could possibly be
raised were at the time Of these
hearings fully discussed. and
the conclusion of the Labor
Board was reached after ex-
haustive consideration Of the
facts before them, and they
also considered all other facts
that seemed to be relevant.
Detailed information as to the
reasons for their conclusions
is contained in the opinions Of
the Labor Board.
This railroad has accepted
and put into effect in good
faith every increase granted to
its employees by the Labor
Board. 1t has obeyed every
rule of the Labor Board affect
ing it, and, consequently, en-
tiers the situation with abso-
lutely clean hands. As above
stated, it has done nothing to
evade the Transportation Act.

In this state of affairs it will
DE observed that the employees
are asked to consider striking
against the rulings of a consti-
tuted Governmental authority
acting entirely within that
authority. It is hard to un-
derstand how this railroad can
do anything in this case except
carry out the decision of the
Labor Board. | feel sure that
public opinion will not coun-
tenance a strike on such a basis
and that disaster only can en-
sue if such a course is persisted
in. l earnestly believe that
this Is also the mature Joog-
ment of a great number of OUR
men.
To all students of the con-
ditions of the times it is thor
oughly apparent that this
situation Is only a contjnua-
ton Of the inevitable adjust
ment which is going on in all
wages which were increased as
a result Of war conditions

Commission has just put into

effect a decrease in rates,
which must be met by some
decrease in expenses. The
railroads for the year ended
December 3lst, 1921, earned
1910 on the value of their
property as established by the
Interstate Commerce Com
mission. and for the four
months ended April 30th, 1922
which is the latest date for
which we have statistics, they
only earned 1880 on such
value. Surely this cannot be
considered by anyone as an
adequate interest return.
Railroad employees know that
in their own investments they
rightfully demand a much
higher rate Of interest than
this.
The Chesapeake and Oh o
Railway Company desires to
work on the very closest basis
with its employees, realizing
that such a state of affairs
produces a much better re-
suit n every direction than
can a contrary policy 1t
has therefore been my desire
to bring about such a rela-
tionship between the employees
and the Company that will
produce the best results in the
operation of the railroad, be-
cause the splendid feeling that
cooperation and mutua es-
TEEN always create S bound to
result in financial and other
consequences Of a splendid
nature.
Many of our emp Dyes have

a great many years with the
greatest harmony. sincere
ly trust that they may work
with the Company a grca,
many more.
In the event Our men do take
drastic action, it is, of course,
incumbent upon the Manage
ment to operate the railroad,
in order that the public may
be served.
