INSTANCE OF TOLERANCE

Although sixty-fve years have
elapsed since South Carolina seeded
from the Union and there has been
ample time In which to get proper
perspective Of those events we doubt
whether the schoolboy Of today
would ascribe a spirit Of tolerance to
the secessionists Of that State dur
ing the days Of the Civil War. Not
withstanding popular conception, in
once instance at least, the people
of South Carolina have left record
Of SURPRISING tolerance.
Here it is inscribed by them to a
foe: "Unawed by opinion, unseduced
by fattery. undismayed by disaster,
he confronted life with antique cour
age: and death with christian hope.
In the great Civil War he withstood
his people for his country: but his
people did homage to the man who
held his conscience higher than their
praise: and his country heaped her
honors on the grave Of the patriot
to whom, living, his own righteous
self-respect suficed alike for motive
and reward" Who would have
thought the 'hot-heads" would have
erected a monument bearing such
inscription over the grave of one who
loudly denounced secession as folly?
James L. Pettigru Of Charleston
was the man, who defed them. who
hated slavery and rebellion and spoke
his mind vehemently to the very
boards Of the rebels. But they knew
the man. they understood his SINGER
ity. they admired his courage and
when he died in the midst Of the
war the whole city paid tribute on
the day Of his funeral
One wonders what like under
standing. like respect for sincerity.
like tolerance Of opinion might not
do to effect solution of the contro-
versy in Mexico. Such an attitude
would be helpful anywhere.

GAS IN THE STOMACH
IS DANGEROUS
Recommends Daily Use Of Magnesia to
Overcome Trouble Caused by Fer
menting Food and Acid
Indigestion

Gas and wind in the stomach accom-
panied by the full, bloated feeling
after eating are almost certain evil
hydrochioric acid in the stomach,
creating so-called "acid Indigestion"
Acid stomachs are dangerous be-
cause too much acid irritates the deli
cate lining of the stomach, often lead
ing to gastritis accompanied by seri-
Gus stomach ulcers. Food ferments
and sours, creating the distressing gas
which distends the stomach and ham
pers the normal functions of the vital
internal organs, often affecting the
heart.
It is the worst Of folly to neglect
such a serious condition or to treat
with ordinary digestive aids which
have no neutralizing effect on the
stomach acids. Instead get from any
druggist just few ounces of Bisur-
ated Magnesia and take a teaspoonful
in a quarter glass of water right after
eating. This will drive the gas. wind
and bloat right out of the body.
sweeten the stomach neutralize the,
excess acid and prevent its formation
and there is no sourness or pain. Bis
urated Magnesia Gin powder or tablet
form-never liquid or milk is harm
less to the stomach, inexpensive to
take and the best form of magnesia

Editorial Comment
That Trial of Doheny and Fall

A new effort to expedite the trial
of ex-Secretary Fall. E. L. Doheny
and Harry F. Sinclair was made on
Monday by the special Federal
counsel. This is effort No. 2.034.
Encouraging progress is being
made, for it is now only two years
one month and eighteen days since
the indictments against Mr.. Fall
and Mr.. Doheny were handed down,
and impartial judges assert that
their outer defences are somewhat
impaired. Their attorneys show
signs of becoming faded in the prep
aration of demurrers, exceptions and
special appeals. Briefs in iopposi-
ton to the Governments motion are
to be filed to-day, and when they
are read the ground may be cleared
for further action in the spring of
1927, possibly the spring of 1923.
Counsel on both sides hope to cele-
brate the tenth anniversary of the
indictments (June so. 1880 by
pointing to the largest mass of legal
documents and the most remarkable
list of technicalities in legal history.

ATOMIC AND OTHER ENERGY

Where now man must seek his
bread in the sweat Of his-or the
other fellow's-brow we are about to
have atomic energy as a substitute
for our coal and waterpower 1t Is
said; in other words set the atoms
to work and sit down and twiddle
our thumbs.
This should be perturbing. for have
we not been warned Of the perils OF
idleness? Do we not know that mis-
chief turks at the elbow which rests
idly by? Isn't it high time we looked
about for other Indictment to activity
than merely keeping warm, fed. and
buying gasoline or electricity to pro-
= pei US?
But We have not atomic energy yet
developed, and when it is. possibly
the development will not be i'm
mediately available. Were it to be,
assuming 1t to be as potential as
the predictions would seem to lead us
to think, what bosom Of destruction
would topple power investments all
over the world, what drastic changes
in civilized methods would ensue!
The picture battles imagination-un-
less 1t all comes about as in the case
of steam, Of electricity. the gas en-
CINE, the telephone, the radio. The
stage-coach was accorded time te
adjust itself by obsolescence; the
mails yet carry letters in competi-
ton with the messages by wire.
But to get back to the predicted
imrninence Of atomic energy, no less
distinguished authority than a noted
Italian chemist, DR.. Umberto Pom
lilo. addressing the Institute Of Pol.
itics, Tuesday, declares that the day
OF the great scientific revolution Is
drawing nigh, that those working or
the problem Of atomic energy ir
various countries agree that the solu
tion will soon be had. He may be
mistaken. We better not give VI
earning our bread in the sweat o!
our respective brows, il we wish t
eat. Also we best keep in mind thai
every new invention seems to re-
ouire that man shall hustle all the
harder-not to exist, but to get wha'
he wants.

CONFERENCE AND COMPROMISE

In some respects 1t appears that
England at the close Of the war was
as greatly embaras Led by conditions
as were any Of the Allies. While
Italy accepted dictator, and France
was said to be on the verge OF doing
so, and In Spain and Poland die
tators came to the front, we heard
no intimation that England would
resort to any such expedient. While
certain Of our American observers
in italy returned home almost II not
quite convinced that perhaps this
country stood in need Of a Mussolini,
no prominent Englishman became
obessed with such a notion. The
fact that relationships are sure to
result in tyranny is clear to the
British mind: the Englishman's dis
trust Of such methods is ingrained.
Referring to a recent vote in the
British Parliament In which the Gov
eminent won over both Liberal and
Labor parties by more than two to
one Herbert N. Casson writes the
Boston News Bureau that this shows
the stability Of the Baldwin govern
ment; that there are 81 other govern
ments IN Europe and most Of them
may be classified as perishable. an
spite of one crisis after another-in
spite Of an industrial depression
which has grown worse instead Of
better, Britain has maintained de-
mocracy as usual: XXX. He finds
Ramsay Macdonald, out Of nine
months experience as Prime Minis
ter. swung toward conservatism; the
Liberal party broken into half doz-
en- fragments; the Labor party near
ing the rocks; Lloyd George losing
influence; that "the historic British
policy, no matter what party is in
power, is to do nothing until a dead
lock arises" Then there is con-
ference and a compromise; that this
method of "muddling through" has
proved very successful in Great
, Britain; that Mr.. Baldwin is a
typical Englishman; that he sis the
central dominant figure today in
Great Britain, and behind him are
all the vast reserves of British CAPT
, tai, character and experience"
Would our American leaders of
business, eager to get things done
| quickly, impatient of muddling, pre-
fer Baldwin to Mussolini? We doubt
it-while Mussolini continues sue
cessfuI.

FITTING RECOGNITION

President Coolidge has found here
in Maine road-builder eminently
fitted to represent this country at
the International Road Congress.
Chief Engineer Sargent knows how
to build roads and our State high
ways are evidence Of that fact.
Maine has reason to be proud of
what has been accomplished on her
roads, all things considered. Es-
pecially should consideration be
given to the climate, to the limited
all-year population to pay for high
ways over which two million summer
visitors may travel When such con-
sideration is had it may well cause
our visitors to marvel that so much
excellent improvement has been
made. Moreover we haven't been
applying politics to our highways, or
we would not have accomplished all
this.

What Prohibition Has Done In Port
land

(Portland PreSS-Herald)
Here are some figures, taken from
the records of the County of Cum
berland, which -prohibition!sts
would do we'll to consider.
In the last Is years, since 1908,
there have been 70,53S arrests for
all causes made by the Portland po-
lice department. For the first nine
years, from 1908 to 1915 inclusive,
there were 4S,5SS arrests made by
the Portland police. During the
last nine years, from 1917 to 1925 in
elusive, there were 21,950 arrests
made.
In other words more than twice
as many arrests We're made during
the first nine years than were made
during the last nine years.
In the first nine years, from 1908
to 1916 inclusive, the prohibitory
law was not very well enforced in
the city of Portland or in Cumber-
land County. There were periods
during these years when the saloons
were regulated" and when liquor
was easily obtainable. 1t was then
that the arrests were more than
twice as numerous in Portland than
they were during the following nine
years when the saloons were closed
