History Of the New York
Bar Harbor Through Trai,.
NaterVille, July


| The kcnncbcc Journal:
The running of such a train was
first brought az i'll the Portland Board
of Trade, of which | was for many
years president and afterwards in the
State Board Of Trade, and was so Sc
riously considered that finally COM
mittec was appointed consisting of
Edward j.. Kicker DR.. Wheeler, who
succeeded me az president of the Port
land Board, and myself, to sec what
could bc done.
Tnc first year the committee was un-
able to accomplish anything, but con-
Stant bringing the matter before the
public in which it was bitterly opposed
by Boston hotel men, resulted in the
then president of tho New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad agreeing
to meet the committee on a certain day
in Mr.. Tuttlc'S office in Boston. LuciuS
Tuttlc then being president of the Bos-
ton & Maine Railroad. So persistent
were the committee in presenting their
views, the president of the New Haven
road finally consented to try the cX-
pertinent and remarked that he
thought one Pullman sleeper, an ordi-
nary coach, and Il baggage car would
bo sufficient for tho first trip
The result was. inasmuch as the
committee had meanwhile secured the
names of prominent people likely TO
ratrontzc tho train and advised them
If its running. that the very first trim
resulted in the train between New
Mi
sections. and Of it's subsequent success
the peoM" of Maine are aware. Indeed
the train had 50 induced the estab-
lishmcnt Of camps in the State tha.
with the tourist travel the trim out Of
New York on the night of June Goth
this year resulted in the train being
ran to Portland in II sections.
Not only has the establishment OF
ms train resulted in success but IT
has been the means of the putting on
Of an all-the-year service between Now
York and Portland. that train being
known as the State of Maine Exprcss.
The New York-Bar IIarbor train is
run cast Of Portland over what is
known as the back route" of the
Maine Central, for the accommodation
or the travel to and from Poland
spring; the twin cities Of Lewiston and
Auburn, the former being the second
city IN size in Maine; for campers in
ana around Winthrop; for patrons of
inc elegant hotel at Belgrade Lakes.
and for campers in and around Bo1-
grade and Oakland; Waterville and
points east being accommodated no
matter by which route it is run.
The establishment of this train Iator
made II necessary to run a connecting
faln between Portland and Rockland
ana between Oakland and Knco. and a

Editorial Comment

Boston Herald, }


The people Of this country are in
danger Of starvation, The indus
tries Of this country are in danger of
stagnation because the railroads are
unable to transport coal from non
union mines in West Virginia and
kcntucky; because the United Mine
Workers, a labor monopoly, viii not
produce coal in the anthracite mines
of Pennsylvania and Will let no one
else produce the coal; because the
same labor monopoly in Illinois, In
diana and Ohio, aided by statutes
which il has caused 10 be upon the
statute books, Will neither mine coal
not let others mine coal President
Lewis Of the United Mine workers
notifies the Governor Of Michigan
that even if the state should take ov-
er the mines the state can produce
no coal until Lewis permits. Gov
eminent ownership means Lewis die

suppose the presidents Of the rail-
roads, the Chesapeake &, Ohio, the
Norfolk &, Western, especially, and
the presidents Of coal mines had

saving what Gomrnrs, Lewis and
Jewell have said and are saying; had
stopped and were stopping coal pro-
duction and transportation as Com
pe's, Lewis and Jewell and others

Would the railroad presidents and the

Saw Own Car Leave Yard

An unsuccessful attempt was made
early Sunday morning to steal the
runahout automobile Of Harry Haws-
ley Of Green street, Saco. When Mr.
Hawsley looked out of the window
early in the morning he noticed that
his machine was moving slowly. A
second glance revealed TWO men
pushing the car from the yard, where
he had parked it the night before.
He opened the window and shouted to
the men. whereupon the two men left
the car and ran across the street to
where an automobile bearing n Mas
sachusetts license plate was stand
ing. They jumped into the automo-
bile. which was evidently their car.
and started up hurriediy and disap-
peared toward Boston.

restrain interstate commerce. Some
body is restraining interstate COM
merce. there is no doubt of that fact.
Thirty thousand cars loaded in one
nom union county last month, less
than 10000 cars at the present rate
this month. Somebody is to blame.
Grand juries by investigation could
find out who is to blame; who is con-
spring to cause this restraint of
trade. Instead of debating with Ia
Dor leaders whether they will let coal
be produced let engines and cars be
repaired and let trains be run, these
men should be treated like other men.

ton with the course of President
Harding in the strike situation, that
I'VE are rapidly drifting toward ir-
responsible government"
sponsible government is not
that government chosen by and re-
sponsiblc to the people. IT is usurp-
alton Of the functions of government
by persons representing certain spe-
cial interests. We have had a good
deal Of that in the past fc ' Years.
There is nothing of record to show

THE DISABLED VETERAN

We believe the country, when it
thinks about the matter is practi-
cally unanimous that adequate care
should be provided hy the Govern
ment for the disabled veterans. As
to tho wisdom Of complying with
all that has been sought, that must
be left in quite degree to those
in charge. Naturally one would ex-
pect some of these demands to hc
unreasonable. ON the other hand
one at all acquainted with the un-
winding Of official rcd tape would
expect the evils Of bureaucracy to
creep in to the administration Of
the relief. 1t appears that in some
of the states the state institutions

though there is said to be evidence
that in some instances at least it
has not been profitable to the wards
In other words it is doubtful if the
disabled veterans have been getting
all that belongs to them, not getting
in all instances that for which the
Government pays, because of faulty
administration OF the relief.
This should not be. And without
