A unanimous report from the commit
tee Oh towns in favor of the division of
Cape Elizabeth seems to be assured, and
there is little room to doubt that the
bill will pass the legislature. Every
body acquainted with the facts of the
case has recognized for some years that
the interests of the two sections of the
town-the farming and village sections
had become SO different that something
must be done unless gross injustice in
taxation was to be perpetuated, and
when plan was sought for, division in
evitably presented itself as the only solu-
tion of the difficulty. A city charter
would not have done much good because
it would have had little or no tendency
to cure the fundamental difficulty, which
is diversity Of interests. The only thing
to criticize in the bill that will probably
be presented to the House is the SINH

larity of names of the two towns, Eliza
beth and Cape Eliza beth. There is dam
ger that names so near alike will give
rise to confusion that will be trouble
some. The names Cape Elizabeth should
be given to the southern town, for that
will be the Cape, but we are Inclined to
think that new name should be given
to the northern town. Perhaps Ligonia,
which is the name of one of its villages,
might be appropriate. South Portland
has been suggested but that would give
rise to a wrong impression.

Senator Hill found it decidedly up hill
work to defend the bond contract re-
Gently entered into by the administration
with the Morgan-Belmont syndicate, for
the very simple reason that that contract
really admits of no defense except that
the government was overmatched.
When bonds less desirable than the
latest issue are selling in open market
for III 1-2 tits useless to argue that
1p4 1-2, the price the syndicate paid, is a
fair price. But the administration had
the right to enter into the agreement,
and there is no help for it now. 1t is
only one more of the blunders of an adj
ministration which has been exceedingly
prolific of that sort of thing.

& The legislature will set very bad ex-
ample it it insists on passing the ten
year appropriation for the State College.
All ! appropriations, except in rare
instances, ought to be confined to the
term of the legislatures existence, that is
two years. When it goes further and at
tempts to fix an appropriation for a long
er period it is practically usurping the
functions of future legislatures. 1t is
committing the people further than the
people have authorized it to commit them.

. S some of the representatives still have
hope that Congress will pass some fnan-

remaining and with most of the appro-
priat:on bills yet to be acted upon the
hope is an exceedingly forlorn one
Moreover there is grave danger that if
Congress should pass financial
measure it would be worse than no
action.

for its cures of colds and Group Chamber
