LOYALTY TO PARTY

That personal interests should not
be placed above the interests of the
political party, was the advice given
by Judge George L. Emery of
Biddeford, chairman of the Re-
publican State committee, who at
the meeting of Sagadahoc county
Republicans Thursday at New
Meadow Inn looked straight at
Sheriff Oliver and condemned the
running as an independent of a man
defeated in the primaries for the
Republican nomination for sheriff
and said to have had the backing of
Mr.. Oliver in the June contest.
In Sagadahoc County" said
Judge Emery, are you going to
support an Independent ticket and
divide your party because of small
personal and selfish motives that
candidate did not win? Are you
going to listen to the rumors that
some man is circulating for purely
personal reasons? We all know that
no matter how inconsequential those
remarks may be, they are enlarged
upon as they are retold.
This is personal" he continued.
as he looked at Sheriff Oliver. 1T
is for the interest of the Republican
party and do not blame any candi-
date for what | say. We have sup
ported men as Republicans for
years, ana Just because their candi-
dates are defeated in the primaries
are YOU going to divide the party ?
If your candidate ran in the
primaries and was defeated, take it
like a red blooded American and
stand behind your party"
In these words, Mr.. Emery merely
reiterated the thought often ex-
pressed that candidates should con-
slider the primaries as they would a
party caucus and should abide by
the result. I'VE should stand for
ed" asserted Mr.. Emery" and If a
man was defeated he should be big
enough and man enough to fight it
out at the next primary and not on
an independent ticket"
Candidates defeated in the prima-
ries should take home the lesson
contained In the statements of
Senators harrington and Brewster,
each declaring that he will give his
full cooperation to the other candi-
date If the result of the recount
shows that the other candidate is
entitled to the Republican nominal
ton for governor. In other words,
either candidate will accept defeat
as gracefully as victory, That, in
deed, is a real test of strong man.

INCREASING TROLLEY LINE

What have the electric railroads OF
the country been doing TO meet the

road companies been quietly looking
on and doing nothing while their
business has been taken over in

Have the managers been content TO
merely raise the fares. which act In

Railway motors used twenty years
ton. and cost from 1920 to Sl75 per
motor annually TO keep in repair.
The Introduction of modern venti-
lated motors has reduced the weight
from 80 to 40G6, and the cost of
maintenance ranges from SIS to $35
per motor annually. or a saving of
several hundred dollars annually for
each car operated.
In 1922. two motor manufacturers
sold 5000 modern motors, ranging
from 25 to 10 HIP. the total weight
being 14.S20.OO0 pounds. and the cost
approximately $9,400,00O The same
number and size of the old type mo-
tor would have weighed 24,S50.000
pounds. and the cost would have been

be carried on the tracks, Si,150.000
less investment. and an annual saw
ing in fixed charges Of about $500
600 and at least as much more saved
In operating expenses.
These lighter weight motors have
also enabled car builders to construct
a much lighter weight car. requiring
less maintenance charges and less
power to operate. so that today a
modern car weighing $4,000 pounds
will carry as many passengers and
not cost any more than the old "a
900 pound single truck car. A dou

cost any more than the old car which
weighed $4,000 pounds.
improvements In air brakes have
not only reduced the cost OF opera
ton and weight, but the extension in
the use of compressed air, formerly
used only for brakes, has made pos
sihle the one-man safety car. The

automatically opens the power cir
cult. applies the brakes. sands the
rail and unlocks the door in case of
the operator becoming incapacitated.
has proved a most convincing argu-
ment in favor OF these one man cars
The adoption OF this type of car has
added from s17,0o0,ooo to s1S,00O,Ooo
to the net earnings of more than 400
electric street railway companies
which use it. and the same principle
OF one-man operation extended to
city and interurban cars has effected
a. further saving of about s4,000,oo0,
and at the same time has permitted
these railways to furnish service at
a reasonable rate. which provides for
an adequate return on their opera
ton. and is also low enough to at
tract the riding public.

The juices Of apples. oranges, figs

which have proven the marvels OF the
medical world for many diseases.

Editorial Comment
SuperpoWer

CThe New York Hcrald)
A technical sUbcummiSsion Of the
Northeastern Superpowcr Committee
has brought in its report. 1t APP
pears to lind the expressing scheme
fer q single sUperpower system
embracing the New England and
Middle Atlantic States at least
theoretically practicable, and ono Of
the most allurine of Mr.. Hoover's
modern romanCCs is another step on
the long and difficult road to ful-
tillmcnt. The engineers believe that
giant power would save 10000, GOO
tons of CNal n year. lower the costs
of power production and put cleo
tricity on the farm, and inasmuch as
they estimate that the areas de
mand for power will increase by
one half in the present decade it
seems likely that necessity Will
force US to something of the sort
sooner or later.
AT the same time a Western pro-
fessor is pointing out that tho
hopes Of hydro electric development
are exaggerated. He makes the I'M
answerahle observation that there
is n limited number of Waterfalls"
and calculates that our total
potential supply Of water power
would not suffice in tho course Of
the next twenty or thirty years for
our manufacturing requirements
alone. white coat cannot replace
the black variety al tho present
rate: but it is the virtue of tho
superpower idea that it can draw
upon all sources of power and use
them with an economy beside which
our present methods seem highly

While the yellow Bird perched on his
knee.
Come. sing us a song" said the great
big man.
The song OF The Lost Little Ne"
At once the dear little yellow Bird
began to sing, about little boy who
longed TO be a great big man. Always
when roaming through the woods, he
would call TO the bears, begging them
to teach him how 10 grow up strong.
The great furry animals would come
out of their dens and caves and, sitting
Up on their launches, would answer:
Eat magic honey"
But where shall I find the magic
honey" the little boy inquired.
"Oh, that YOU must find for Your
self" the bears would answer.
All through tte days, the little boy
went searching for the Magic Honey.
At last. one night, weary and hungry,
he law down to sleep under a big
spreading elm. AS he slept a kind old
mother bear whispered.

Gordon has also bought the Chapman

when Raymond Belliveau, nine, son
of John A. Belliveau of IS St.

drowned while bathing with some
other boys near the Somesville

upon a time some of the early set
tiers along the Saco ran into an
Indian canoe upsetting it and
causing the death by drowning of a
child. Thereupon the chief pro-

saying that three white people
should be drowned in the Saco
every year. So far as known at
least that number of lives have been
claimed by the river ever since.
