DENOUNCED AND YIELDED

Had we the distinction of being
Hiram Johnson we have no doubt we
should express Indignation in terms
no more measured than those used
by Hiram.
He appears to be the victim of a
dirty trick, which yet may result in
the embarrassment of the perpe-
traitor.
1t is refreshing, however, to find
that in this personal letter of his,
which he says was stolen, he gave
evidence of shrewd comprehension of
actualties. If he would always hew
as closely to the line and show as
clear a vision he might recover some
of the prestige which he admits he
lost by yielding and giving power.
position and political strength to the
very men I so often formerly de-
nounced."
1t may occur to the reader that it
is best not to denounce except on such
ample cause that it would not become
feasible to render support to those
denounced without strong evidence
that conversion had been exper-
fenced.

p. U. COMMISSION REFUSES
Jl1NEYS

Those disposed to criticise the re-
fusal of the Public Utilities Commits
sion to grant license for the oper-
alton of jitneys between Portland
and Old Orchard should first read
the statement accompanying that de-
cision carefully.
They also should take into con-
sidcration some facts on which this
decision may not be based, such as
the maintenance of the right of way,
which in the case of the jitneys
must be maintained by the taxpayers
as compared with that of the rail-
roads which must be maintained by
the corporations. In the first in
stance we built the roads the jitneys
wear out without making any ade-
quate return for so doing. This sure
ly has something to do with the
equities of the case, If not with the
decision.
Then there is the fact that the
Public Utilities Commission has il
within it's power to regulate the SER
vice of the railroads, the rates Of
fare which must be charged. Those
roads have to render service winter
as we'll as summer whereas the jit.
neys only propose to run during the
summer.
The Commission makes out a good
case without these facts. 1t is alse
in position where it must accept
responsibility for insisting on proper
service from the railroads.

The Story
(RY David CnrNl

(By David Cory
Now, let US put our heads TO-
gether. little readers, you and |.
Maybe we can remember where We
left off last week or shall | put on
my memory cap? Oh, now l re-
member what was happening. OF
course. l do. for wasn't Little Jack
Rabbit, watching the Farmers Boy
pull in his big kite? But, how
strangely that boy behaved First,
he would suddenly dash off to the
right. then, away to the left, then
run backward. next forward. Some
times he would let out the string and
then wind up again.
What is he doing?" thought the
little bunny boy rabbit gazing up in
to the sky where the big kite looked
but a little larger than the speck
which was all that could now be seen
of Hungry Hawk in whose claws was
poor, little Jimmy Meadowmouse.
you remember. OF course YOU do,
and so do |. I'm so worried for
fear that poor little mouse will he
eaten up by that dreadful old rob-
Der bird.
Just then, all of a sudden. the
Farmers Boy gave a yell of delight
and started to run backward as
fast as he could go. 1--WE got YOU.
I've got you" he kept shouting as
he pulled in the kite, hand over hand.
What do you mean" asked Little
Jack Rabbit, all a-tremble, hopping
about on one leg,
"Ive caught the old hawk in my
kite" shouted the Farmers Boy.
I'm pulling him down. you betcher!"

pops on a little table, invited him to
sit down.
I BY and by, in came the other
ravens. eleven in all. and perching
themselves on twelve little chairs be-
gan to talk to one another in bird
language, which, of course. the bunny
boy couldn't understand at all. After
a while, they all flew out of the
window to roost in big tall tree, for
it was growing dark and night was
coming on.
Twelve ravens sat upon tree
And from each eye a teardrop fell,
And turned into a sweet bluebell.
Pretty soon the bunny boy went
sound asleep in his chair and the
pretty maiden slipped into her little
white bed. Not a sound was heard
in the little house until the sun rose.
when the maiden put on blue dress
and the bunny boy hoped out
doors to look about until breakfast
should be ready. On seeing the
twelve lovely bluebells under the
tree, he picked them and brought
them into the house.
,'Ah," said the maiden. zone a piece

she plucked a rose from her favorite
bush and placed it by his plate. The
twelve ravens were greatly pleased
with the flowers. but would YOU be-
lieve it? No sooner had they placed
the flowers in the feathers of their
breasts than they changed at once
from birds into men.
Goodness me-" exclaimed the
bunny boy. greatly surprised, you
know.
After the twelve brothers had
kissed their sister they turned to the
little rabbit and said: Had you
| not gathered the flowers for our sis
ter we would still be ravens. How
may we repay your"
by always being kind to animals"
answered the little rabbit as he re-
snmed his journey of adventure.

Nearer and nearer came the big
kite, as the excited boy carefully
pulled in the string hand over hand,
taking care to keep the string taut
lest by a sudden slip backward the
kite might untanglc itself from the
struggling bird. But the well made.
home manufactu red brown paper kite
resisted the buffetings of the en-
tangled hawk, and slowly descended
under the steady pull of the Farmers
Boy.
1t was now so near that he and the
little rabbit boy could make out the
figure of old Hungry Hawk pressed
tight against the frame, his wings
entangled in the face strings and his
tail held securely by the kites.
"Ha, ha," laughed the Farmers
Boy. IF l only had four hands and
my gun along, I'd shoot the old bird

Like enough. Never thought

BY this time, the kite was just
overhead. Billy breeze Was helping

ABOUT TIE COAL ARlsTocRACY

The aristocrats of fuel production
are those connected with the mining
of anthracite. Pennsylvania is the
only state in which it is being mined
extensively in this country, although
some is mined in the Rocky Noun
tains and West Canada. Wales,
Silesia, France, Russia have deposits
of it but the largest in the world are
said to be in the province of Shansl,
China.
MONOPOLY has controlled for sew
eral years the anthracite Of Pcnnsyl-
vana, even to the extent of pro-
tective legislation in that State. The
spirit of it undoubtedly perNades
those owning the lands, those oper-
ating the mines and the miners.
There is nothing standing in the way
of getting high prices for the prod
..uct from those who insist on burn
ing anthracite. Evidently the pro-
ducers are human enough to take ad-
vantage of it. Those who insist on
using it will have to pay tribute in
some form to this monopoly unless
the Government should take over the
mines, in which event they would
have to pay tribute in the cost OF
Inefficiency of Government manage
ment.
Investigation by the L. S. Coal
Commission shows that the cost of
labor in production of one ton of
anthracite increased from s1.62 in
1918 to 1897 in the first quarter of
1923, but while labor costs formed
els per cent of the sales realization
in 1913 it had dropped to 595 per
cent in 1923. Some operating COM
panies showed a margin of profit of
s1.o4 per ton as compared with $1.ol
- the last quarter of last year, certain
others a margin of $1.25 as compared
with s1.16. This is practically
equivalent to net before payment of
interest on federal taxes.
The Commission notes that "only a
part of the increase is due to in
creased wage scale. a part being at
tributable to the greater amount OF
labor necessary in later years to
produce a ton of coal, due to physical
changes in the mines, etc. Another
consideration which applies to labor
costs as well as other costs and to
sales realization is that the purchas-
ing power of the dollar was much
greater in 1913 than in 1923.
1.-THE labor cost each successive
year has either equalled or exceeded
the previous year except that, fol-
lowing the strike year 1922, the
labor cost for January March 1923
was lower"
Another committee that has been
examining conditions in New Eng
land urges that all the New Eng
land consumers should be assisted
in every way to familiarize them
selves with other fuels and learn how
to use them, and that all the New
England States Join in this move
ment to free the public from de-
pendence on anthracite"
Good advice and it should be
Needed.

One day as Little Jack Rabbit was
hopping through a great forest he
came to little house in which lived
a beautiful maiden and twelve
ravens whom she loved very dearly
because they were really her
brothers. They had been changed
into birds by an old witch and the
bunny boy, not knowing this when
he knocked on the door of the little
house was greatly surprised when
one of the twelve ravens asked, with
a deep croak. what do you wish?"
I'm a traveller" replied the little
rabbit land would rest my tired feet.
Can you not give me something to
eat and drink"
Il will see," answered the raven.
After little while he returned

delighted at seeing the. bunny boy for

except her twelve ravens.

HAVE WE COME TO THIS?

King Louis XIV of France de-
clared: II am the state"
John L. Lewis, President of the
United Mine Workers, (the title of
king being left to inference) makes a
declaration of similar import.
He will not arbitrate. He insists
that the miners demands shall be
met in full. Consideration of the
public's needs is ignored. No spirit
of compromise appears. To carry
that strike to success the public
must be menaced.
Regardless of that John L. Lewis
wants what he wants when he wants
it and is resolved to have it regard
less of consequences.
Has this great country. come to
that which France endured under
Louis XIV?

SAME BACKBONE

,4 - There is no right to strike against

So declared Calvin Coolidge. then
Governor of the State of Massa-
chusetts at the time when the police
men Of the city of Boston struck
leaving the city and the safety OF
the inhabitants to the mercy of the

Some appear to think he will act
in accordance with this in event OF
a strike of the anthracite miners.

croverdrawn. A strike of the anthra-

Ing there be an abundance OF soft

would constitute an undeniable men,
