CAPE COTTAGE PROPERTY.
Is Now Reported to Have Passed Into
Caterer Robinson's Hands.

1t was reported yesterday that the Cape
Cottage property-whioh the PRESS
mentioned yesterday morning. stating
that it had been purchased by Hon.
James P. Baxter-had again changed
hands having been conveyed yesterday to
Mr.. George Dana Robinson the well
known caterer. 1t was said that Mr..
Robinson would devote it to a seaside
park, erect an elaborate restaurant build
ing and pavilion and lay out the fields in
tennis courts. The restaurant, it was
said, would have large front piazza
enclosed in glass, when in stormy
weather, meals could be served, and the
ocean watched while the spectator was
protected from the weather. 1t would
also be great convenience in winter as
it is the intention to keep the place open
all the year round 1t was reported also
that the Cape Electric road was backing
Mr.. Robinson in the enterprise. The
Goddard property is not included in the
purchase.
Mr.. Robinson was down the bay last
night but his son said he had no knowl-
edge of his fathers having bought the
!. property. g.

Are You Included in This.

Talk about town seems to indicate that
everyone is going to Fabyans next Sun
day on the Maine Central excursion.
Heretofore the road has, we believe,
Withheld it's cheap rate excursions to the
mountains until after the summer travel
was about over and in consequence there
has not been many guests at the big
mountain hotels which in themselves add
much to the pleasure of a visit as, of
course, everyone likes to go to a place
when it is in the heighth of its success.
The White mountain houses are now
full to the roof, making it particularly
gay, and it is commendable in the Maine
Central railroad in offering our citizens
and summer guests an opportunity Of a
visit by the excursion next Sunday.
The trip through the Crawford Notch is
by far the most attractive in this section
of the country Of which one never tires
as indicated by the fact that the trainmen
who run there every day in the year are
always looking forward to that part OF
the run which takes them through Craw-
fords Notch, as there is always something
new In the aspect Of the mountain
scenery which is constantly changing.
Reference to our advertising columns
show that the special train leaves the
Union Station at 10 a. M, which is g
later hour than ever before in order that
those who go shall not be compelled tc
lose their Sunday morning rest.

and he who would attempt 1t would
have no money to waste on elected rep.

1t would weaken party spirit and
probably make an end Of party gov
ernment.
1t would put stop to the wholesale,
reckless legislation which Is now
rushed through our law-making bodies,
much Of which serves only to make
mischief. Is it not true that to-day
most reforms lie in the direction OK
repeating laws already on the statute
books, rather than in making new
ones?
But you may say the people are not
capable of deciding such questions.
True enough. We admit our ignorance.
But neither are we capable Of electlng
wise men to Office, men able to decide
these questions for us. What proper
tion of the people who voted for state
legislators on Nov. 8 knew anything
of the character and ability Of the men
fer whom they voted? A few knew
something Of them personally, few
others knew something by hearsay,
while the rest voted for them simply
because they were the party nominees.
Party nominees! Selected, then, in all
probability, by a clique Of the least
trustworthy men in the community.
No. We are not wise enough or patri-
otic enough to legislate for ourselves.
but I believe that we could soon learn
how II we had chance to do it. How
much did we know about national
finances two years ago? We have had
the benefit OF compulsory education on
that subject of late, for by some
strange process the last election turned
itself into a referendum on the money
question. 1t has been rather agoniz-
ing to our spirits-much Of what we
have learned with so much pains Is not
true. But after all we are wiser than
we were, and think that the average
man is now about as capable OF legis-
lating on financial questions as the
financiers we have been sending to
Congress for the last twenty-five years.
He couldn't make worse mess or IL
