A QUESTION ABOUT
4REWERlES

We assume 1t has been source OF
wonder among Maine people that 90
tangible an institution as brewery
might continue in these days defying
the law by making high powered
beer. But then, Maine people don't
know much about breweries what
ever knowledge they may have OF the
brewery products.
AS most readers of the newspapers
are aware Governor Pinchot OF Penn
sylvania is supposed to entertain po-
litical ambitions that do not meet
with the entire approval of Secretary
Mellon of the Treasury Department,
nevertheless the former has asked OF
the latter that Pennsylvania authori-
ties should be given an opportunity
to be heard by the Federal author'-
ties before the latter grant permits
to breweries within that State. He
seems to think there is force in the
words: "the Congress and the several
States shall have concurrent power.
He is not alone in that view.

B. & Ms Extension
Gas Car Service

BOSTON, Nov. AN early extern
sion Of the use of gasoline and gaso :
line electric motor rail cars ana
trains by the Boston and Maine Rail-
road, with service projected On APP
proximately 500 miles of main line
and branch line, was. announced TO-
day.
The first cars of an order for Il
motor rail cars and 5 auxiliary
coaches involving an expenditure OF
nearly half a million dollars, are now
enroute, and will be ready for oper-
alton shortly. Others will be deliv-
cred within the next two months.
This order is the largest ever plac-
ed by an American railroad for
equipment of this type, although sew
eral of these cars are now in use by
many roads. With the gasoline
driven rail equipment which is now
being operated, and auxiliary coach
es which are available for this serv-
ice, the Boston and Maine will have
20 such cars or coaches. In addition,
a standard mail passenger coach or
baggage smoker coach can be used
with each Of the gasoline electric
cars.
This new equipment Is to operate
in main line service experimenting
otedtl Trains 10 all SAtCit WHICH iS
said to represent an advance over
present practise by the railroads Of
the country. Faster and more fire.
quent schedules will be possible
eventually. At the same time, these
| motor rail cars with their economies
of operation on lines of light traffic
density, will also be assigned to serv-
ice on secondary main lines and
branches having reasonable amount
of traffic.
On branch lines as Improbable as
those on which the Boston and Maine
has filed petitions for discontinuance,
it is said, the motor rail car pro-
VideS no real solution of the problem
of making both ends meet, because
the business available is too small to
pay for the costs of a service which
includes track maintenance. Motor
coach and motor truck service on the
highways is proposed as the only
means of substantial economies on
such lines where any new service is
warranted"
Locomotive engineers will drive the
motor rail cars, and the train crews
similarly will be men from the rail-
roads regular service. With one ex-
ception, they will seat from 81 to IS
persons each in addition to baggage
and mail space, and the auxiliary
coaches will hold as many as IS per-
sons.
y Brill gasoline electric car, IS feet
long, seating 90 persons, the largest
ever built, is included in the new
equipment now under construction

Let me see. and let me ponder.
Didn't we end the last story at g
very dangerous point? Guess we did,
Little Reader for just as / began this
one the old wolf beat on Peter Pigs
kitchen door with such force that the
knob dropped to the kitchen floor.
Bang, it went, frightening Il little
mouse in the pantry.
"If Mr.. Wicked Wolf once breaks
in the door, We are lost" cried poor
Mrs. Pig tiptoeing into the hall to
peek through the little side win
dows. All of sudden she spied in
the distance, although it was quite
dark. Little Jack Rabbit, hopping
along in his khaki suit his KNAPP
sack bouncing up and down - his
back and his red-striped candy cane
swinging from his left paw.
Opening the door very gently, Mrs.
Pig screamed at the top of her voice,
mir. Wicked Wolf is beating in the
kitchen door. Please get the kind
Policeman Dog" The next minute
around from the back of the house
came Mr.. Wicked Wolf, but just too
late. for, with n bang, Mrs. Pig had
bolted the door.
"Botheration!" exclaimed that wick
ed beast, and then. oh dear me, he
spied the little rabbit. "Off went the
old wolf forgetting all about the pig
family. And away hoped the bunny
boy just as fast as he could go. But
Mr.. Wicked Wolf had long. fast'legs
and by and by, and all too soon,
he came close to the little rabbit.
"Ha, ha." snarled the old wolf, his
hot breath almost burning the bunny

big jump and two little hops, he
landed on the steps right in front OF
the Circus Elephants Log Cabin. At
the very same instant thet big kind
animal opened the door. He had
meant to look up at the stars, but
he didn't. No stree. Instead, he
picked up the. little breathless bunny
with his big strong trunk just as
Mr.. Wicked Wolf went Bang! against

he sent the old wolf flying through

concerned particularly about the re-
lisious faith Of the inmates who oc-
cupy thu best beds. Neither are the
creeds and dogmas held by the con-
yict who happens to be the prison
monitor. a matter to get wildly excit-
ed about.
What the citizens OF the State are
interested in is to know that order
and discipline are maintained at this
penal institution. If prisoners are
beating up one another, IL free inter-
course between male and female
prisoners Is permitted. IL dope and
liquor are brought freely into the
place, IL convicts are allowed to leave
the place for a nights debauch to re-
turn in the morning. then they do
want to know why this license pre-
walls, If 1t has prevailed, and who is
responsible for 1t.
These latter charges were what
were stressed by Governor Brewster
in his prepared statement to the
members of his Council, but the affi-
davits themselves reeked with asser-
tions about favoritism due tosthe re-
ligious faith of the different convicts.
What was the reaction? 1t was a
perfectly natural one, "This is a re-
ligious row." remarked the average
person on reading the affidavits, or
ut is Khan stuff" or something like
that Similar conclusions were re-
fiected in the newspaper stories OF
the affair. A Boston paper lying be-
fore us carries this headline in inch
and half type, "Klan Fight In Pris-
on Expose" The story following
agreed with the caption. Did the
Khan compile the affidavits? Did a
Klanner want to be warden Of the
prison? Klan this and Khan that.
The injection of this element into the
investigation made 1t impossible or
at least difficult to get at the facts.
The Khan business overshadowed
everything else.
Yet the situation demands a close,
fact finding. impartial investigation
If the charges summarized by the
Governor in his statement to the
public are true, or If they are mea-
surably true. discipline at the prison
has collapsed and should be restored
by those whose Job it is to maintain
discipline. We don't know what au-
thority the Council had to conduct
the investigation, but someone had to
1T, for the charges could not be ig-
nored. But their job was to find out
whether the stories about rum and
dope and association of men and wo-
men prisoners and assaults were true
or false. Basing their inquiries on
the sworn statements that they had
before them, they could not handle
their job the way it should have been
handled for the reason that this re-
lisious business overshadowed the
real considerations involved in the
case.

The Old Guard
(Tha p,,hlic I ,adRar


rs (The Public Ledger
In any community that is rightly
constituted there is a group of per-
sons settled in life and seasoned in
judgment whose opinion really
counts and whose experience Is valid,
no matter what contemporary here
sizes eddy and fluctuate, about them.
Young people may rail at them as
stupidity orthodox, conservative and
modifying. They may be damned
and dismissed with the sweeping
word Victorian" a term that really
connotes a great deal that is worth
keeping. Yet they feel that even if
they are misunderstood they must
still proudly keep the faith with cer-
tain ideals that it once seemed worth
while to set before themselves for, the
light of life. Like the Old Guard If
military chronicle, in the words of
time -incrusted adage. they can die
but not surrender.
The minds of the oncoming genera
ton may be scornful and the hands
and feet of youth be restless, but
there Is always the patent and in
eluctable fact that the Young Guard
must take hold when the Old Guard
lets go. Presently the recruits,
VhVthSh LhCy w
not, must step into the places of the
fallen; and a. they go on, in time
they. too. will be regarded by their
juniors as the Old Guard. The fair
question Is whether at an equal age
they will show an equal wisdom. Will
they, too, see life steadily and see 1t
whole? Will they passionately care
for anything inaudible, invisible; will
they serve ends removed from their
own selfishness; will they look up to
crowns that are higher than their
heads. as Bunyan's muckraker for
ever refused to do? What will be-
come of art and literature and Sci
ence in their hands? What will they
do with the trust of life itself?
The Old Guard, because they ira
vailed and endured to conserve what
the present enjoys and the future in
herits, have n right to expect those
who arc coming upon the scene 10
take up the burden and carry it as
they did in their time.

THE CAMEL AND THE TENT

Being told of what happened to the
original occupant of the tent when
out of the kindnes of his heart he
permitted the camel to thrust Its
head within, and being left to infer
that he was driven out entirely, new
ertheless there persists the notion
that the camel might have been held
in restraint, although it doesn't u.s.
ually happen that way.
Turning from the problems Of the
ancient dweller in the desert OF the
Orient to those Of more modern in
sistence one is, or may be--all de-
pending on viewpoint-impressed by
what is taking place with regard to
Federal control of the countrys ar
fairs. A circular letter from the
American Association of State High
way Officials comes to the desk. This
informs us that the postal service OF
the public highways in this country
has passed the millionaire mark
and reminds us that Uncle Sam Is
cooperating with the States in the
construction Of only 100000 miles OF
road, or more than q million miles
less than he is using.
Looking carefully on this propa-
ganda It may occur to some minds
these undoubtedly will be termed I'M
progressive in certain Quarters--that
the tax payers of the country having
established all over the land rural
routes with carriers to distribute IN
noticeable degree the goods Of the
mail order concerns, they are now
being told that it Is their bounden
duty to build roads for these carriers
to travel upon. Following this logic
is it to become incumbent on them to
provide enough residents to afford
work for the rural routes?
Such questioning. in a sense. Is far
fetched, but doesn't it illustrate the
tendency of governmental affairs?
When those rural routes were estab-
lished wouldn't one have said: II
Uncle Sam will do this for me we
will see. that his carriers have good
roads to. travel over and will keep
them passable the year round?
The country is committed to GER
tain amount of Federal highway de-
velopment. From this it may not
probably turn back were there not,
and we believe there are. good rea-
sons for the enterprise. But the line
certainly should be drawn somewhere.
or the camel will occupy the entire
tent and the country be iiving-in its
mind if not in fact-by the grace Of
Federal bureaucracy rather than by
the grace Of God.
