Editorial Comment
No Mean ACCOMPLISHMENT
(The Christian Science Monitor

(The Christian Science Monitor)
a century Of newspaper service
represents no mean accomplishment.
And in attaining its own hundredth
birthday, the Daily kennebec tMeD
Journal has shown that il has steer
ed a straight course and wisely
trimmed its sails. In its first issue,
published on Jan. 8, 1925. was con-
tanned an announcement detailing
the principles and policies" which
were to form its foundation stones.
This statement. which was reprinted
in the centennial number, reads in
part:
In The composition of our paper,
we shall be careful in making such
selections as will not only amuSe the
evening tireside, after the labors of
business Of the day. but tend to ele-
vate the moral faculties. and render
the citizen sensible of the duties he
owes to his God and to his country,
and the important relations he sus-
tains in society. We shall exert
ourselves to give our readers the
earliest information of the proceed
ings of the national and state gov
ernments. of which it Is their duty to
be fully informed. We shall
emit, or only briefly notice. such
proceedings s are not deemed i'm
portant, and condense, as much as
possible. those which are considered
of primary interest to the commun-
ity; SO that our paper may con-
tain as much useful information as
its dimensions will admit.
1t were well if many another
newspaper today would shape it's
activities according to these same
ideals which have thus endured the
buffeting of so many seasons.

LOOK UP NOT DOWN

Look up not down, this morning.
but be sure first to protect your eyes
with smoked glass.
Look UP in spirit, too, there'll be
no need of smoked glass for the
spirit of man. Make the most of
this opportunity, for you may do It
without excuse to a busy world so
deliShting in jostling the star
gazers, though everyone should
know that stargazing is good for
the soul if one doesn't overdo it.
The fellow who declared he was
bigger than "Old Grant" has pre-
sumably passed on to further revela-
ton, but If there happen to be any
of his kind on earth it will do them
good to look at the eclipse.
Pretty smart folks we are to be
sure, but none of US can use the
moon to eclipse the sun. Even the
bigger than the big are pretty small
bits of dust in the universe when
looking at an eclipse of the sun, or
~ NV 't~i oi d SiedI frosty night.
Eclipse gazing Is being made a
popular event. That is good. 1t
really seems we need one oftener
than once in a hundred years. They
may become SO popular that eventu-
ally great excursions will be made to
those parts of the earth where an
eclipse is scheduled to occur.
However, we best attend for the
present to this one, about two
hours of it, beginning a few minutes
past eight o'clock this morning.

Yes, sir, as I mentioned in the
last story, Old Man Weasel had
caught hold of one of dear Uncle
Lucky's coattails. mo use now to
try to run away" thought the poor
old gentleman bunny. 'One cant
run fast and drag somebody else
along at the same time"
"Ha, ha," growled the wicked
weasel between his teeth. for he
knew better than to open his mouth
and let the coat-tail slip out, Now
/ have you just as sure as lollypops
grow on the lollypop tree"
But sometimes when we are most
sure of a thing something different
turns out Indeed it does. And this
is just what happened at that very
moment-Uncle Lucky hoped right
out of his coat, and away he went in
his shirt sleeves and pink waistcoat.
Head over heels sprawled Old Man
Weasel. so tangled up in the coat
that when he did get out it was
through the left sleeve.
Goodness gracious meebus'"
painted dear Uncle Lucky, on reach
ing the little white gate in the picket
fence around his ed-roofed house
on the corner of Lettuce Avenue
and Carrot Street, I'm glad it's
dark so that no one will see me

Newspaper Ideals

Belfast Republican Journal
On January Sth the Kennebec
Journal celebrated its one hundredth
birthday anniversary with a special
issue of fifty pages, containing a
wealth of historic information and
literary matter Of interest to Maine
people.
This newspaper has been a place
Where great number of young
newspaper men have received their
training and gone out to fine service
Most newspapers are to some extent
training schools for this occupation
following principles, which have
been so well observed in the office
of this old Maine Journal
Accuracy and truth. The peo-
pie buy newspapers for information
and they want absolutely correct in
formation The young newspaper
man will find it pays him to take
the utmost pains to verify his state
ments and to see events and char
acter without pgejudice. Mistakes,
inaccuracies. and misrepresentation
bring discredit On any journal.
1.-The journalist holds a position
of great power. If he lowers his
ideals as to the use of that power,
and makes his newspaper the SER
want OF money or selfish groups, he
degrades his noble profession.
3.-Community betterment The
newspaper man should encourage
education civic progress, religious.
and all good causes. BY so doing
his journal can exercise a wonderful
influence for the development of his
community along the best lines. He
is not likely under ordinary circum-
stances to acquire wealth, but if he
uses his power right, he will gain
the affection and respect of the COM
munlty to a degree seen in few
callings.

turned the knob on the kitchen door.
What is the matter? And where's
your coat?''. cried poor frightened
Little Miss Mousie. jumping off the
chair at the foot of the table. where
she had been patiently waiting for
dear Uncle Lucky's return.
"Whew!" answered the old gentle
man bunny, turning the key In the
lock and fastening the catch on the
window, Il called at the Old
tea. Dear me, Old Man Weasel al
most caught me in the woods. If |
hadn't slipped out Of my coat l
wouldn't be here. But my dear old
coat" and with a sigh poor Uncle
Lucky dropped into a chair.
Don't worry about that" almost
sobbed Little Miss Mousie. You're
safe. Who cares for the coat?"
II do" answered Uncle Lucky.
Besides, my wallets in the inside
pocket with 800 Lettuce Leaf Dollar
Bills"
We'll notify the Policeman Dog"
suggested the tiny mouse house
keeper, and the next minute she was
calling over the wire:
zone, two, three, Answer quick.
Policeman Dog with your hickory
stick
whats the matter?" answered a
gruff voice.
is it you, Mr. Policeman Dog"
cried Little Miss Mousie. And then
she told that kind protector of law
and order in Rabbitville all that had
happened to dear Uncle Lucky.
Leave it to me-" answered the
kind Policeman Dog. Uncle Lucky
shall have his coat and the 800
Lettuce Leaf Dollar Bills no later
than tomorrow"
How kind and good everybody
is sighed tired Uncle Lucky, as
Little Miss Mousie brought him his
old comfortable carpet slippers. II
declare. the world is full of kindness,
just like sunshine. Maybe a rainy
day now and then. but somewhere
the sun is shining" and he smiled at
Little Miss Mousie as she poured
the Turnip Tea. And in the next
STORY you shall hear what happened
after that.
