Portland (Me.) city fathers are today
looking over our park system. Fifty
years ago New England had no parks
Fifty years hence there should be a
connected chain of them stretching
from Plymouth to Brunswick, Me-
Boston Herald.
Why end the proposed system at
Brunswick? II such a chain OF parks
is ever established along the b beautiful
New England coast it should be ex-
tended clear to Calais. The shores of
Lincoln, Knox. Waldo, Hancock and
Washington counties are not surpassed
in attractiveness and grandeur by any
in the world and there is room enough
and reason enough for millions to en-
joy themselves there, every summer.
But iE a broader sense, our Maine coast
park system has already been estab-
lished by nature and there is little the
hand of man can do except to improve

later. as has happened before and since
his time. a larger salary drew him from
Bowdoin to Yale where he has since
remained. He has won information.

frame a constitution that can cover
every conceivable point of legal rela-
ton. If our constitution had con-
tanned a single statement prohibiting
human slavery the history Of the
United States would have been differ
ent from what it is. There were loop
holes in the Norwegian constitution,
and these loopholes have been the
occasion CT all the political quarrels
between Norway and Sweden for near
ly century. There was nothing in it
to provide for a separate flag or a
separate consular service, and there
was some indefiniteness about the Veto
ing power Of the King. The Swedish
nobility have taken advantage of these
loopholes. They have never been able
to look upon Norway otherwise than as
conquered country. But the rising
intelligence and national consciousness
Of the Norwegians have enabled them
to meet the Swedish nobility with firm
ness and determination. Through her
culian labors the defeats i'll the consti-
tuition have been mended; the separate
flag and the vctoing power of the King
were finally determined more than 4
generation ago. The last point-the
separate consular service-became the
rock upon which the union Is wrecked
Perhaps it is better so. Any one who
will study the national characteristics
Of the two peoples. must come to the
conclusion that they have never been
one, and never will be one. This has
long been realized by minds Of the
highest order both in Norway and
Sweden.
That. the two nations will go to war
seems improbable. The masses Of the
Swedish people are sensible and high
minded, and are fully aware that a
farced union will be a source of misery
to both. They may need each others
protection, and if so defensive alli-
ance can be established while each ma
ton developes it's own resources indie
pendent Of the other. Thereby I be-
lieve that both will gain in the long
run.
