Senator Fernald. Directing to the
World Court as it might result in
the call Of the flower Of American
manhood to fight and be slaughtered
on the battlefields of Europe" omits
mention Of the last call to do this
very thing. That call didn't come
from q World Court but from cir
cumstances over which the world had
not established any method for
avoidance.
International law has helped coun-
tries in some degree to lessen causes
for war. An international court
should help strengthen international
law: It should be an aid to peace.
Other courts and other laws do so
help.
It Is proposed to Join this court
without obligation other than to aid
in developing. to encourage the in
Auence and Interpretation Of inter-
national law. Surely we have not
avoided war by isolation under the
old order Of things and there is no
assurance that we shall be able to do
10 In the future. Why should we be
afraid of legal tribunal. the purpose
Of which Is to ascertain the right
and the wrong Of international con-
troversy? Are we that timid? The
World Court today Is already in
debted to some of our best American
minds and principles. We would in
crease such Indebtedness.

Jan. 8, 1926-"Christmas here" so
the oldtimers declared, was the best
ever" Outside it was a fine winter
day. Inside 1t was sunshine every
where. A multitude of presents and
loving messages from the dear ones
at home, made happy the hearts of
the veterans of all our wars during
three score years and more.
All in authority or with lesser dut-
les to perform, did their best to scat
ter happiness and content every
where.
1t Is, to be sure, a hard task tooadd
anything to the well-nigh perfect con-
ditions that exist here 365 days in
each year. but they did stretch things
out a little.
The great American turkey was every

bling after dinner. No present, from
anywhere gave greater satisfaction
than package of hand painted.

to the veterans by the children of the
Brunswick school. They cost malv
hours of patient, loving labor and

patriotism.

sided thing. In time of peace it
makes good citizens. In time of war
1t makes the American soldier the
swiftest and most effective fighter the
world has ever seen. This act of the

far forward into the future among the
generations and into the centuries
yet to be.
In another form 1t is the uncon-
querable spirit of Liberty that flung
defiance in Britians face at Bunker
Hill in 1876-that humbled her again
in 1912 and wrested from her. her
proud title of mistress of the seas. In
184S it chastised Mexico and an
nounced to the world that foreign
insult or aggression would not be
tolerated. In 1875 it settled a fam
lily difficulty of our own and chiseled
immortality into the gray lodges of
Gettysburg.
In 1898 a condition existed at the
front door of our country that had be-
come a stencil in the nostrils of the
world. There the American soldier
swept the veteran regiments of Spain
from their wire-enmeshed trenches of
Santiago, the while our jackies, those
fearless sons of the ocean, We're send
Ing her navies to the bottom of the
sea. A few years later the Hun had
strangle hold on civilization and a
cry came across the sea for help.
Fifteen millions of liberty loving
Americans answered the call and
saved the worlds civilization for the
generations that shall follow us.
This act of the children of Bruns-
wick once for all answers the mo-
mentous question, asked by the sur
vivors of all our wars, will our chill
dren fight to maintain for all time to
come, their heritage Of liberty as we
fought to secure It? They will keen it.

THE U. s. RAILROAD LABOR
BOARD

The Federal railroad board was. for
one thing. to afford the public rep
resentation as well as, railroad COR
porations on one hand and railroad
employees on the other. It came
about because 1t was thought there
was need of such representation. The
board apparently has not been quite
the success that was expected; that
the railroads and their employees seem
pretty well agreed that it's functions
should be left to them. Such an at
titude on their part Is not surprising,
but 1t leaves the public out without
assurance that its interests may
under such arrangement. receive any
more OF disinterested attention than
was given them under the old order
Of things.
It is somewhat reassuring to learn
that one prominent railroad execu-
tive, President German of the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific, thinks Il
should be retained. He recently
said: IT think the present Transpor.
Sntion Act should be left as 1t is. and
particularly do favor the continu'
alton of the present U. s. Labor
Board, although I know that in tht
minds of many railroad men q diff
ferent program Is proposed in this
regard"

Der, Little Reader. that the stage
coach was up against big log deeply
buried in the snow, as I mentioned in
the last story.
"Great Scott! We're stuck" an
swered the Old Dog Driver. "The
Billygoats can't move the stagecoach
and the Policeman Dog and can't
push It back, although we've tried our
best" -
Let me help" said the Big Brown
Bear, and leaning his shoulder up
against the rear of the old vehicle, he
shouted, "Heave, no! Push away! Once
again! Hip, Hurray!" And, would you
believe, over the buried log rolled the
front wheels, and away went the
Billygoats. pulling the old coach after
them.
"Many thanks, old friend" shouted
the Policeman Dog, jumping up on the
back steps. Come along with me.
The little rabbits are In great danger.
Danny Fox is trying to catch them in
the dear Old Bramble Patch"
With q jump clear over snowdrift,
the good old bear landed in the stage
coach, and closing the door, sat down
beside the Policeman Dog. "We'll soon
be there" called out the Old Dog
Driver. "The snow is not so deep
hereabouts." And he was right, for
in a short time he drew up alongside
the old rail fence. when out jumped
the Policeman Dog and the Big Brown
Bear. Followed by the Old Dog Driver
they hurried over to the little rabbit s
house in the bramble bushes.

paw,

Hopping into the kitchen. Lady Love
peered through the keyhole. "Oh. I'm

"Oh, how uneasy I feel" shivered
Danny Fox behind the kitchen stove,

Senator Fernald's decision to vote
against the world court does not re-
fleet the wishes of his constituents
or betray any sympathy with the
forward movement toward better

OF course the Republican platform
endorsed the World Court--the
platform on which Senator Fernald
was elected. Ones conscience might
even extend to the consideration of
fair play to constituents.
One thing is rather certain-if the
World Court is defeated by Senator
Fernald's vote, there will be a great
uproar in Maine for which we would
feel regretful We assure him that
there is not another political cam
paign in the old issue, that won In
the League of Nations. This is a
horse of another color altogether.

is that some of the opponents of the

SENATE AND THE TAX BILL

Whatever else may be thought by
way of comparison between the ma
tional House and Senate this much
is evident, the House is much the
larger body and presumably the more
unwieldly and less susceptible to
control. Notwithstanding such a
condition. It is interesting to note
that while the House was able to CO.
ordinate the efforts Of both Repub-
1icans and Democrats and the
Secretary Of the Treasury in agree
ment respecting a tax bill that should
go before the country as nom
partisan measure, the Senate is dis
posed to rip it up the back.
President Coolidge warned against
too deep a cut and the House agreed
upon an annual reduction of taxes to
the amount Of s325.ooo.o0o but Senate
Democrats are demanding. some an
other hundred thousand, and a few
favor a total reduction of half a bill
lion dollars. They object in effect to

prosperous years and would permit it
to extend over long period of time.
In other words they would pay inter-
est on bonds and use for present pur-
poses the money that might be used
to cancel the bonds.
Simmons. who hurt his party by
his vagaries regarding tax reduction
In the previous Congress, appears
just as eager to muss matters as
though the country had not rebuked
him. There is manifest a disposition
to delay the passage of this measure
which the country wishes to see out
Of the way before the middle of
March. It is not as though there
were new and untried principles at
stake. This matter of tax reduction
has been threshed over and over.
There can be no excuse on account
Of professed desire to enlighten the
country. It already knows that 1t
wants the House bin passed.
