Something Doina in Maine.

There is always something doing in
Maine. The Pine Tree State instead of
sinking in its corner of the Union or
waiting for something to turn up is
ever turning up something for itself.
At present it has more railroad mile
age under construction than any other
New England State with the general
purpose of development of the water
borne trade of Eastern Maine. The
new port of Stockton is being construc-
ted, a multitude of workmen labOrinS
on wharves and warehouses. Stockton
will be the outlet of the railroad system
which now traverses the ArOostoOk up
to the Canada border. To facilitate its
work the Bangor e Aroostook is erect
ing shops at Milo Junction on scale
that will make the plant a not very lar
distant second in New England to the
New Ravens great establishment al

ton Transcript.
OF course. there is always something
doing in Maine. The State has never
vet shown a disposition to sulk in it's
cession go by. When it is not leading
in the construction of new railways,
as the Transcript points out to be the
case at the present time, it is leading
in something else. This is the spirit of
its State motto which it has proudly
lived up to for close to a century.
These are prosperous times in Maine,
and it is booming ahead in a way that
may we'll cause the rest of New Eng
land to take notice. The greatness of
our State. the vast extent of it's re-
sources and it's almost unlimited posi-
bilities for development are yet but lit
tie understood by the outside world,
and the people of Maine themselves are
only just beginning to realize Them
Maine, within the past generation, has
come to be known throughout the land
as the summer playground and the au-
tumn hunting ground of the nation.
Within the next generation, while
keeping this distinction. it will also be
known for something better still, name
ly, lis rapidly increasing Industrial and
agricultural activities. What the
Transcript points out is only one chap
ter of what is to be long and glorious
story.

the frame Of the cider mill, he invited
his neighbOr. Robert D. Bisbee. to join
in the performance. Mr.. Bisbee was a
rigid temperance man, and the invita-

was decidedly opposed to cider making.
while, OH the other hand, he hated to

he finally decided to attend and join in

Rockland has mystery on its hands
and the Opinion man thus spreads it
forth for the world to solve as best it
can: "A well known gentleman en-
gagged in one of the learned professions,
entering his office on the second floor
of the Farnsworth block, the other
morning. noted Il pronounced but not
altogether unpleasant odor 1t forcibly
reminded him of something he had
smelled in the remote period before the
Sturgls bill was enacted, and after
some rumination he distinctly remem-
hered it. 1t was beer-not Uno, but
the real thing, as the Lewiston Journal
calls Ii. He was somewhat puzzled,
since he had not had any beer in his
office for quite a spell-and then it re-
manned only short time. Everything
in the rooms looked the same as he had
left them the night before. and he
could not trace the origin of the odor
till, perhaps in despair, he raised his
eyes to the ceiling. and noticed that it
was damp and discolored., ImeStiga-
ton showed that the forbidden fluid
was leaking down from the rooms
above. What had occurred there is
not yet disclosed. And the mystery is
intensified by the fact that the only
tenant on the third floor who advertises
in the papers. is Nelson Dingley Junior
lodge Of Good Templars. Were it an
aerie of Eagles, the problem would not
be so puzzling, though those joyous
birds are not supposed to be in the
habit of letting their beer leak out.
The Good Templars are not supposed to
use beer in their mystic ceremonies;
but then, it is a secret society. and who
knows? Can Brother Newbert furnish
us with an explanation of that beer
phenomenon without violating his obli-
gation?''

through its elimination. What ne
shows is that football exerts an infiu-
ence upon both those who play ana
those who watch, which. upon the
whole, is healthy and admirable; that
it is d valuable help to the physical de-
velopment, which before its advent
used to be so much neglected.; that 1t
strongly tends to the cultivation of the
manly virtues; that it affords an out
let for youthful exuberance which
otherwise might find less innocent
vent; and that the causes of such adj
verse criticism as is not inspired by
ignorance or prejudice are readily sus-
ceptible of remedy. Coming from
such an authority as DR.. White this
judgment will be good enough for
most of us. We urge our readers,

The Critics of Football Answered.


The Journal publishes elsewhere this
morning. an interesting and timely
article which appeared in the latest
number of the Outlook, by DR.. T. Will
liam White of the faculty of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, in which the
critics of the game of football are
frankly met and vigorously answered.
The appearance of such an article in a
publication of such standing as the
Outlook guarantees it a wide reading
and makes it certain of respectful con-
-sideration upon all sides. In fact, the
dispatches from Washington i'm yester-
days papers said that as result of the
publication Of the article, DR.. White
had already been summoned to Wash
inSton for IL conference on the subject
with President Roosevelt, whose great
interest in the game has been frequent
i manifested, this fall
DIR. White is not by any means d
blind and unreasonng enthusiast over
the game, but as Il medical man, an
educator and q lover of manly sports.
he is moved to defend it against the at
lacks upon it which have become fash
ionable of late. His reply is largely
directed against the criticisms of
President Eliot of Harvard. He takes
up DR.. EliOt's charges in detail and
shows where much in them is wrong
and baseless. He has a great advan-
tage over DR.. Eliot and over most
critics of the game, for that matter, in
having gained his knowledge of the
game at close quarters. He has fol-
lowed it at close range for many years
and knows its many advantages and
igood points He deprecates the criti-
cism to which it has lately been oc-
! casioned, and in a very fair and tenn
perate spirit, but nevertheless with
convincing force. he reviews the whole
ground covered by the controversy.
1t is DR.. Whites opinion, as it must
be the opinion of most reasonable peo-
pie who base their judgment on their
own observation and reflection and do
not unthinkingly follow the hue and
crv. that it is with football as it is
with most other things in a world
where perfection is SO seldom encoun-
tered. 1t has it's drawbacks. 1t is
not wholly free from undesirable
features and it lends itself to abuses of
which those who practice it are not in
variably innocent. DR.. White does
not excuse the exceptional misconduct
which has served to provoke the cur
rent censure. He admits that in the
big games which have come to be such
important notable events of the au-
| time an unnecessary roughness and
that the strong desire for victory
tempts some men to indulge i'm tactics
which are not defensible and by which
victory is more likely to be lost than
won. He does not excuse these men.
He condemns them unreservedly and
ne lays stress upon the fact that they
are their own and the games worst
enemies.
Yet as the result of his own expert
ence and of calm and careful ex-
animation of the various objections
"hicn the game has elected he is led to
the conclusion that the merits of the
game far outweigh its faults and tina,
our civilization would be the poorer
