The s.

! FORETElL A GOOD BUSINESS
T. YEAR

n A good year ahead Of us is what
headers in business foresee- Henry
Ford predicts a normal year and re-
yards 1926 as having been rather alb
normal. Gary Of U. S. Steel de-
'clares that II business shall be de-
creased during the coming year 1t
will be our own fault, that labor
conditions are unusually good. The
head of the Federation of Labor
puts out an optimistic forecast.
President Edgerton Of the National
Association of Manufacturers reports
that ninety-nine per cent Of the AS
sociation's members are planning for
a bigger business in 1927. The
head Of the New York Central Rail-
road says: 1.-THE railroad situation
as whole is more satisfactory than
Il has been in long time"
From all over the country come re-
ports of similar nature. No man, OF
course, may foretell with certainty
Judge Gary reminds us that Many
things may occur to change the
business situation for the worse al
any time. Some of them may be pre-
yentable." We may be sure the
plans that are in the making for
good business year will contribute
to the assurance of the country.

After less than an hours illness,
Mrs. Miriam c. Weber passed quiet
ly away Sunday, December ID, at the
age of 81 year. The funeral service
was held at the Chapel. conducted by
Rev. j. G. Rogers Of the Methodist
church, Lewiston. and Rev. +. Il.
Jones OF this place.
Miriam Garland Hoag was ma
tive of Sandwich, n. H. and taught
for several years in New Hampshire
and Maine before her marriage in
1861 to Charles w. Weber of South
Durham, where nearly their entire
married life was passed. Six chill
dren were born to them, tw of whom
survive, d. w. Weber of Auburn and
Mrs. Mary w. James of this place,
with whom Mrs. Weber has lived
since her husbands death in 1914. a
lifelong member of the Society OF
Friends, Mrs. Weber was deeply IN
terested in everything which stood
for righteousness and progress. The
w. C. L. u, all benevolent and mis-
sionary work and the cause OF peace,
were dear to her heart. BY her Kind
illness and sympathy, she endeareu
herself to all with whom she came in
touch and many old and young feel
that they have parted with a wise
and loving friend.

COOPERATION IN DRUG RE-
STRAINT

The year 1912 was. quite a while
ago but nations ought to have men,
cries Of obligations that should not
b impaired by a duration Of four
teen years. Neverless this Govern
ment is forced to the conclusion that
such lapses occur. 1t is reminding
other members of the Hague Opium
Convention that it has evidence
showing they are not living UP to
their agreements with respect to the
production of narcotics.
Pursuant to this agreement this
country secured legislation and has
succeeded In restricting the output
OF these drugs. Having done this
1t finds the other countries have not
done likewise The evidence Of this
is very impressive by reason of the
smuggling from those countries,
which serves to nuilify our own
regulations.
As the result Of this situation our
country appeals to the other nation
members to cooperate with us. to
exercise control over their manufac-
turers of these drugs and suggests
that we have been enabled to follow
the raw product into the factories
and the manufactured drug out and
to learn into whose hands 1t passes.

WOULD HAVE A BIG FARM BOSS

What with a Will Hays at $4,000
per to tell the film producers what's
what, and a Judge lands to keep
matters in baseball straight the
suggestion comes that agriculture.
the most important factor in our
material progress, is worthy OF the
best advice, and however small its
present profits could well afford to
pay the price as it would reap the
benefit.
The suggestion is good, but 1t
needs another to go along with 1t,
and that is how those engaged in
agriculture may act as cohesively
and intelligently as the compar-
atively few producers Of the films
and the national game.
Undoubtedly agriculture might de-
rive as much Of benefit from leader
ship, able and capable, as do the
capitalists II farmers might find it
possible to unite in selecting the
best. The would be leadership
part thrust upon 1t by those most
interested in themselves than in
agriculture. It needs another var
iety. So do the rest Of us; such
captaincy would be good thing all
around.
A man, who for years has sue
! cessfully managed a 600-acre farm
in Tennessee, suggested this some
years ago and now renews the sug
gestion. Presumably If such an ar
rangement be brought about it will
come through the efforts of those
who may be termed capitalists in
| agriculture. From this the lesser
! should derive benefit and in time
! come to active share in the leader
| ship and the control of 1t. Evident
ly it may not be had as promptly
as was possible for the film pro-
ducers, the baseball magnates or the
| textile industries.

a very large number of people living
in the cities in which the question
naire was used have Church letters
from the country or the small town
from which they came. Furthermore,
ii Is in the city that the Catholic
church has its stronghold. Also it is
in the city that the immigrant popu-
Jation is greatest. All Of these ele-
ments readily account for the ap-
parently high percentage Of church
members living in the cities. and they
Justify the figure given in the re-
turns from the questionable. 1t
would probably be shown upon a
close analysis thar the figures for
church membership in the city would
exactly coincide with those given In
the answers to our QUESTIONABLE
1t Is a striking fact, however, that
while the percentage in favor of re-
ligion in general is so strong-much
above that indicating church men,
Iership - apparently the churches
have not capitalized on this interest.
IL proves that in our great cities there
is a large opportunity for the church
to demonstrate its value. even to
those who are committed to religion
and who, naturally should be SYM
pathetic toward the doctrines for
which the church stands.
The returns from the question
naire also show us that religion in
America is on the whole very con-
sentative. The people are not both
cred very much by the doubts of the
high brows" and wise guys" When
it comes to religion they are as old
fashioned as ever. The churches in
this country which are making the
strongest appeal to the people are
those which hold to the q time re-
Iigion-much as this fact Lhay dis
gust the people who are troubled by
so many religious doubts Of their own.

NOT AN INVITING PROSPECT

General Juan Vicente Gomez is
called the president of the republic
of Venezuela. AS matter Of fact
he is said to be absolute dictator OF
country that knows about as
much respecting the essentials Of
q republican form of government as
the average schoolboy knows about
the Einstein theory.
General Gomez, it Is said, has ex-
hibited excellent judgment and fore
sight in picking out in different
parts of the country choice lands to
be used aS plantations and cattle
ranches-by Gomez. Then he pro-
ceeds to build good roads to these
the taxpayers footing the bills and
the work done by conscripted labor.
A novel method of CONSUMPTION to
which he resorts is giving in some
village free exhibition of the
movies and then conscripting the
Iaborers who go to see them, as he
deplores idleness, 1t seems. Just
what the people of Venezuela will
amount to after a long period OF
that sort of slavery remains to be
seen. The prospect is not inviting,
And this is in country that was
saved for the Venezuelans by the
Monroe Doctrine.

head, he followed the scent left by
the hurrying feet, until all of sud

with a fine wire netting.
Hello" said Old Man Weasel, peer
ing in at a frightened little squirrel.
Climbing up on the top the old weasel
found a little door hung on leather
hinges 'Ia, ha," he laughed, COM

Editorial Comment
Whose Ok is Gored?

\
When the United States recog-
nized Adolfo Diaz as President of
Nicaragua, that was Imperialism"
When Mexico recognizes Or. Juan
Sacasa as President of Nicaragua,
that is "anti- Imperialism" Thus runs
the argument of those who oppose
American policy in Central Amer
lea. When the United States inter-
venes in Nicaraguan politics, that
is, ipso facto, evil. When Mexico
intervenes, the action is benevolent.
A legaliStic case can be made out
for either of these two Presidents
DR.. Carlos Solorzano was elected
President in November, 1924, with
Dr. Sacasa as Vice President. This
Government was overthrown by
General Emiliano Chamoro, DIR.
Sacasa fleeing to Mexico City.
These are the principal facts,
The American Government and
some Nicaraguans contend that the
country was without a President and
that it fell to Congress to elect one.
Adolfo Diaz was elected. The Mex
lean Government and some Nicara-
guans maintain that when President
Solorzano was driven out Vice Pres
ident Sacasa remained his legal sue
cesSor.
One may choose his own argument,
But the main point is that Mexico
and the United States have openly
clashed in Central America and are
striving for the preponderance of
influence. 1t is quite easy to argue,
on principle, that neither the United
States nor Mexico should mix into
Central American politics. But to
say that Mexico should be let in and
the United States shut out is an
argument of another color and one
which the washington Government
has every reason TO gainsaY

ATHLETICS NEEDED BY MOTOR
lists

The manufacturers of sporting ana
amounted last year to the value OF
forty-two and a half million dollars,
a gain of seven per cent over the
previous year.
What with the increasing need OF
athletics this showing is gratifying,
for it should be generally apparent
that we must have athletics to offset
the injurious effects of excessive
automobiling.
A well, known auto-motive au-
thority calls attention to several per-
tinent facts among which are these:
the driver of car isn't exercising
his body or enlarging his lung ca
pacity; his spine is bent, his
shoulders hunched and he breathes
poorly. He doesn't take in the all
which blows In his face. Yet all the
while he Is engaged in nerve.
wracking, nerve exhausting and
facilitating occupation, the effect OF
muscle and nerve tension without
relief.
And so this auto-motive authority
urges US to walk abroad in the
glorious out-do with a knapsacl
strapped to the back, following the
lure of the wandering trail. Fee
the exquisite sense Of fatigue that
comes from muscles hardused and
breathing dust-free air. and he de-
clares that "one dose Of a good stiff
outdoor hike Is worth a million miles
Of Rolls-Royce exercise"
Really we are beginning to Learn
how 1t was they had fun in the days
before the advent Of the motor-car.
