The city fathers Of Belfast are prov
ing their capacity to manage the city
affairs in a farsighted manner by TAX
ing steps to provide park system for
the city. The average Maine city is very
slow to consider and act upon matter
of this sort, and all too late the most
of them will wake up to find that the
opportunity for securing such system
at small cost has gone by. The time to
get the most returns for the money in a
movement of this sort is before the
city has become so extended that real
estate all about it commands high
price. Belfast's example might we'll be
followed in this city, where there is to-
day unoccupied and unused land to be
had, which, later, may be beyond the
reach of the city's fnances.-Water-
vile Mail

mothers, who have taken the initiative

auspices, held Tuesday evening, sub

effect for white supremacy" This
movement, it is understood, meets with
the approval of Senator German, and
will if he receives the Democratic nom

placing in the national platform "a
clear and positive declaration on the
