POLITICS AND THE HOME FIRES

Whether New Englanders are to be
permitted to keep the home fires
burning the coming winter may be
seriously affected by politics out in
the state of Pennsylvania, which is alb
surd when one comes to think Of it.
The news reports convey the idea
that a possibility for putting some
body in a political hole" is an i'm
portant factor in arriving at con-
clusion whether there. shall be a coal
strike; that Governor Pinchot Is
seeking Senator Peppers political
scalp; that a move in the game
would be to involve the Federal Gov
ernment in the coal controversy. The
last time Pinchot interfered it aided
the miners to secure higher wages.
None need be surprised If there be
found a little of foundation for these
reports. No Federal finger may in
terfere in anything, 1T seems, with
out giving rise to a suspicion, toe
often we'll founded, of being manipu-
lated by political wires. Here's one
good reason why we should be chary
Of Government interference in mat
ters where it may not be absolutely
essential. There are other reasons,
but this one will suffice for now.
Pretty fetched, isn't it, to have
our fuel bins, our home comforts and
the contents of our pocket books so
subjected to desire on the part OF
some politician in far away state
to put something over an adversary
AS might be expected, President
Coolidge wishes to keep the Govern
ment's hands off the coal controver-
sy. We hope he succeeds. While there
might be equity, in event of strike
which the Government could and
should secure for public advantage
President Harding's plea to the rail-
roads TO speed Up transportation was
an Illustrative instance the parties
to the controversy attempting to in
volve the Government should be
made to understand that it will inter-
fere only to protect the public, that
the methods adopted will disregard
the will and pleasure Of the wrang-
ling parties.
Were it possible for the Govern
ment to take over the mines and
operate them to the exclusion of both
operators and miners, it doubtless
would afford many great satisfaction
But once having taken hold the let
ting go would be difficult. This has
been illustrated in Italy where Mus
solini took hold, accomplished a great
task and now the people are begin
ming to get restive under a dictator,
We don't want dictator in this
country, even though he bring relief
for a time. 1t will help much more
to turn to the use of other than an
thracite fuel than to look to the Gov
ernment to keep our bins stocked
with the kind of fuel we may prefer.

and pretty soon, not so very long.
Daddy Longlegs, all breathless and
dusty, stood beside him. All Of a
sudden mischievious Billy Breeze
began to blow so hard that poor
Daddy Longlegs found it almost i'm
possible to stand up. With his small
body raised so high in the air on his
stilt- legs, he found it impossible
to keep his balance, and the next
minute a strong puff carried him off
his feet and up against the Old
Stone Fence.
"Are you hurt?" asked the kind
hearted little rabbit, hopping quickly
over to the poor old gentleman in
sect, whose little red cap had fallen
to the ground and pocket handker-
chief blown right out of his pocket.

"You ask me my hardest battle"
said Dave Patrick of Saco. well,
sir. the toughest experience in my
career was trying to get enough to
eat, and never shall I forget it II I
live to be as old as Methuselah. In
1866. when l was boy of seven
years. my parents sent me to the
farm of a friend CD of theirs in
Casco village to work for my board
l surely got plenty of the former,
but, believe me the latter was way
below par from what a youngster re-
quires.
THE women folks had no time to
prepare meals, being busy making
articles of clothing to sell, that be-
ing the custom in those days, and
the men, folks, who worked in the
shingle mill, had to take pot luck
with what they got to eat, so you
can easily imagine how ! Jared. !

One reason for the increased travel
through Maine this year is no. doubt
due to the increase in traffic by mo-
torists entering Canada at st.
Stephens. Many Of them are bound
to st. Stephens, st. Andrew. st. John,
and other sections along the coast IN
the maritime provinces. Up to June
80, 927 automobiles had crossed the
bridge from Calais to st. stephens
this year, whereas only 59S crossed
last year.
