MAY SUCCESS GO WITH HIM

President Coolidge returns to
Washington from his summer So
journ-scarcely vacation: the cares
Of state abided with him, though
tempered by pleasant and healthful
surroundings. May success attend
him. 1t is essential to getting
done what the President sees the
need of doing. There are many OF
us, not restricted to one political
party. who see eye to eye with Pres
ident Coolidge on many of the i'm
portant matters with which he Is
called upon to deal.
We want this country to enter the
World Court and are willing to trust
to his judgment respecting the con-
ditions; we want the continuance Of
his program Of economy and trust
him to recognize any variations
which may be found best; we want
his common sense and courage of
conviction to be in flrst-class condi-
ton when applied, as they must be,
to many knotty questions, such as
the budget, the reorganization OF
overlapping departments Of the pub
lie work and consequent overburden-
ed pay-rolls; to questions of avia-
ton, debt funding: and we want the
assurance afforded by his level-head
when If ever the coal problem be-
comes acute.
May success go with him. There
need be no fear that even the fitness
OF it might be such as to overburden
his sense Of personal Importance; he
has demonstrated noticeable immun-
ity from that obsession, which has
wrought mischief with many a pub
lie offlcial. He has given ample as
surances that 1t will nowise inter-
fere with the teamwork, which he
recognizes as essential to the doing
Of things.

COMING UP NEXT MONDAY

Maine voters are to have the privi-
lege on Monday, next, Of expressing
an opinion on two proposed amend
ments to the Constitution, under
which, II approval be given, bonds to
the extent of three million dollars
may be issued by the State for the
construction of a bridge across the
Kennebec at Bath; also bonds for
six million dollars for carrying out
our plans for highway development.
The third question submitted to this
referendum Is whether Engineer
Cooper should be permitted to build
one end of his proposed giant power
development from the tides OF Fundy
on Maine land. il he may also get
permission from people on the other
side to locate there the other end OF
the construction and be able to raise
enough millions with which to n
nance the greatest power project in
or adjacent to this country.
We do not believe Maine will play
the part of dog in the manger in this
matter. II the plans be carried to
successful completion Maine will
share in the profit and She will not
necessarily commit herself to the pol
icy Of shipping power out Of the
State, We have seen advanced no
good reason why the voters should
hesitate to grant the permission
which Mr.. Cooper seeks. and there
are several reasons why they should
do so.
With regard to the development OF
our highway system to be had from
the proposed issue of bonds we have
seen no cause to doubt the wisdom
of such an investment, for such it is
il properly handled. AS to that, we
believe no State in the Union has re-
ceived better value for the dollars
it has expended in highways than
has the State of Maine under able
and sensible management, which We
hope to see continued. The money
for this should come from the users
of the highways and provisions have
been made for doing this which are
proving satisfactory. We agree with
those, however, who believe it un-
wise to reissue our highway bonds,
but that is not a question before the
voters at this time. 1t is one, how
ever, we think they should keep IN
mind.
With regard to the bridge at Bath
we wish. for one thing. that We
knew whether three million dollars
would build it. We have no doubt
that tolls could be made to pay for
it if these be continued, however
much it may cost: neither do we
+ have any doubt but succeeding leg
islatures will be asked to make 1t a
free bridge. Furthermore, there can
be no doubt about the justice Of the
plea OF the people of that part of the
State for better facilities. They I'M
questionably should have q bridge
across the Kennebec. The travelling
public should have a bridge and
should help to pay for it. Undoubt-
eddy it would encourage tourists to
come, builders Of summer homes to
come. These interests naturally are
intensely opposed to any delay in the
construction Of such thoroughfare,
which in the nature of things must
be had now or later in one form or
another.
Along with the privilege afforded
the voters of Maine by this referen-
dunn is the obligation to have an
opinion and go to the polls and ex-
press ii.
