DAILY KENNEBEC JOURNAL, MONDAY, JULY IL, 1926.

Little Jack Rabbit loved the Bub-
bling Brook. 1t was such a hustling
little stream. Like himself, it was
never still: down from the mountain,
around the hill, across the meadow,
through the lea, ever on to the Big
Blue Sea. There, "Remmy," my old
typewriter, has clicked into poetry
with its iron keys, forgetting in its
hurry to make a pretty verse.
Below the Old Mill Dam the will
lows and naples touched tops over the
deep pool which this merry little brook
had followed out to hake a happy
home for the Water People Along one
side it had cut deep into the rough
rocks and flowed black and swift IN
der the overhanging lodges. Mr.. Merry
Suns beams hardly twinkled through
the great oaks and naples that crowd
ed the black alders knee.deep all along
the edge.
On the other side the water made a
half-circle back against a sandy bar
that glistened beneath the shallow
water. Here Mrs. Sunhsh at this time
of the year had followed out a nest
in the sand, and after carefully remov-
eggs.
AS the little rabbit hoped on his
way, looking for an adventure, his
knapsack bouncing up and down on his
back and his red-striped candy cane
swinging from his left paw, he stopped
to watch the mother sunfsh swim
ming back and forth in front of her
nest to guard 1t against enemies.
All of sudden, just like that, quick
as the wind that blows off your hat,
sounded the Farmer Boys whistle,
loud and clear.
Dear, oh dear" sighed the little
rabbit. Il hope Mrs. Sunfish won't be
caught" and he hid behind a bush.
The next minute the Farmers Boy
stopped at the edge of the pool and
laying his fishing pole on the ground,
opened his box of earth and worms.
He had no fine fishing rod fitted with
silvered reel. No, indeedy. That very
morning he had gone to the birch
jungle for his fishing pole. But he
knew what he wanted,-a young tree,
as large as his thumb at the butt and
tapering straight and clean Is feet to
the tip. This he had cut and trimmed
of its branches, fastening to it 10 feet
of stout cord. After tying the end to
a hook, he slipped the line about three

ABOUT MOTOR FUEL

Probably there is no occasion for
uneasiness in this country should
the report be found correct that the
German Dye Trust has perfected
plans for making a motor fuel from
coal and is getting ready to produce
within a year a fifth of the quantity
OF motor fuel used in that country.
The possibility Of such production
has long been known to science but
the manufacture at cost, which
would enable it to compete, has not
heretofore been found practicable.
Indeed 1t is to be hoped the Ger
mans have accomplished this. The
demand for motor fuels is yearly in
creasing greatly In volume. In the
first four months Of this year the
consumption Of gasoline increased
by 20 per cent over that of like
period last year. Also there are
good grounds for believing that the
supply is being exhausted. although
this is denied by some authorities.

i The President has a good word to
say for Congress also commentator
of the work done by the Administra-
ton leaders. If readers will review
the record Of relations which Presi-
dent Coolidge has maintained to-
ward Congress from the beginning
of his administration they must con-
clude ne has been consistent through
out.
From the first he has insisted that
aside from their joint responsibilities
the executive and legislative depart
ments of the Government each have
exclusive responsibilities. 1t Is the
duty OF the executive to acQuaint the
legislative branch with his reasons
respecting proposed legislation. He
cannot and should not attempt to
hold himself completely aloof. To do
so would cause mischief and the
making Of erroneous claims respect
ing the attitude Of the executive. But
the executives influence should be
exerted in full recognition Of the
rights and responsibilities Of the leg
islative branch. In this respect we
believe President Coolidge has done
all that should have been expected Of
him.
He has exerted influence on Demo-
Gratis as well as Republicans in the
congressional bodies by the force of
his reasoning. His Secretary of the
Treasury in like manner so clearly
presented the tax situation as to COM
mand certain amount of support
from members of Congress of the
opposite political faith. The result
has been that this Congress really
accomplished more in the way OF
legislation and with less fuss and
political bombast than any peace
Congress within our recollection. OF
course 1t did not do all it should, nor
all that the President wished it to
do. Such an accomplishment will be
little short of the millennium.

Better Make Up His Mind
(The puh1ic T.edoeI-l

General Andrews is IN excellent
official. 1t is an open secret that he
has not liked his difficult job,
Nevertheless, in the hard task of
prohibition enforcement he has made
a good record. Probably no man
could have done better under exist
ing circumstances. However, he is
handicapping himself and hurting
his own usefulness by his threats to
resign. The general may find some
of the work more than distasteful.
He may dislike to know that his in
vitations TO social affairs are so ar
ranged that he may arrive after the
cocktails are served SO his official
feelings need not be outraged. He
may want more legislation very
badly and be resentful that Congress
did not pass it. Yet these reasons
hardly justify his "offagain, on
again" tactics. The old-hen that is
forever hopping off the nest and
back again hardly ever matches
many chicks. 1t will be much better
all around if General Andre US will
make up his mind and keep it made
up, one way or another.

Names Awakening

NFOTlldnQ fIeSS j1SId I0b
When the awakening of Maine oc-
Cured it was pointed out that the
one thing which was necessary to
make the movement a success YVES
the enlisting of all the people of the
State in the effort to make the best
of what Maine has to offer, and to
realize something upon the great
assets which a bountiful Nature has
SO lavishly bestowed.
This, ii was declared, would be the
most difficult task to be performed.
Maine folk are believed to be slow
to enthuse over anything. II they
could be brought to an appreciation
OF what might be accomplished by
united effort it was said the rest
would be comparatively easy.
The special edition of the Sun
day Telegram and Press Herald
which was published on July gives
the best possible illustration of what
progress along this line has been
made within the last two years. In
this edition appeared advertisements
setting forth the attractions and ad-
vantages of many Maine cities and
towns. In some instances these ad-
vertisements were inserted by the
communities and in other cases by
the uniting of few public spirited
and enterprising individuals or
firms. But in each instance they
were inspired by a desire to help
the community and the State.
NO newspaper that has been is
sued in Maine in many years has
been so full of valuable information
as was this special edition. The
general tone Of all these advertise
ments proved that the uniting of the
people in common cause has been
we'll commenced. 1t was such a
mass moveent that was wanted to
insure success and it now seems to
be well established.
Maine people understand that only
a beginning has been made. In
creasing the States recreationaI
business was the initial undertaking..

Lantern Hats
Pullman Train

Saco, Me, July 10.-Poiice are in
vestigating the cause for the placing
of lighted red lantern beside the
tracks Of the Beach street railroad
bridge at o'clock this morning. The
signal brought Boston and Maine
Pullman train to a sudden halt and
members of the crew found no rea-
son for the incident. TWO youths
were later apprehended in the vici-
nifty and denied any connection with
the lantern. They were arraigned in
court on vagrancy charges and es-
capped with a lecture.
The police thought that some one
placed the lantern near the tracks to
slow down the train so it could be
boarded by non-payinE passengers.

Editorial Comment
The Progress Made Possible
(The Railway Age

-l6GV
1.-THE kind of progress that makes
it possible to pay high wages could
not be better illustrated than from
the history of the railways of the
United States. The average annual
wage paid by them in 1906 was
$4,000 and in 1925 il was $1,639.
There was largo increase in COM
modify prices and the cost of liv-
ing, but it may conservatively be
estimated that the average wage re-
ceived by our railway employees in
1925 would purchase 50 per cent
more necessities, comforts and
Injuries than their average wage of
1906. They also benefited by a re-
duction in excess of 20 per cent in
the number of hours they worked
YEARLY.
