A movement is on foot to erect a
memorial to Rev. Francis f. Clark.
founder of the Christian Endeavor So
ciety. and Boston has suggested it be
erected in that city as the only proper
location for such structure. Boston
may be the centre of the Christian En-
Gelvor population but that does not
mean that il should be entitled to the
memorial which it is proposed to erect.
What city deserves it more than Port
land? Could anything be more fitting
than that such a building or mOnu-
ment or whatever it is decided to erect.
should be located in the Maine city
where Father Clark first conceived the
idea of the society, where it was first
organized and where it got its first
strong hold upon the religious world
and then broadened out until now it
covers almost the entire world? Says
the Portland Sunday Telegram: I'VE
believe that if Father Clark himself
were to be consulted in the matter he
would say Portland is the place whic..
he would select for such a memorial.
Few cities are any easier of access
than Portland, none could furnish any
more beautiful surroundings for such n
memorial than the Forest City and
none deserves more to have the honor
Of pOssessiI g such structure than the
city in which the great association
first saw tGe light of day. 1t would he
well for our local societies Of Christian
EndeavOr to bestir themselves and see
to it that Portland is not deprived OF
something which rightfully belongs to
it. Do not let Boston or any other city
have this memorial but get to work
and see that it comes here"

Those BuckfieId Bushes.

In the cours. of one of his valuable
communications to the Maine Farmer.

speaks in terms of high praise for the
enterprise Of the voters in the town of
Buckfield, who have appropriated $500
for the purpose of cutting the bushes
by the sides of the town highway. The
entomologist thinks that Buckfield is a
progressive town and one which is do
| ing valuable service for its residents,
AS we'll as setting a good example for
other towns to follow. The very SEN
sible Kennebec Journal takes the ops
pOsite view, claiming that bushes by
the roadside are better to look at than
bare rocks and blackened stumps. Sc
| long as the bushes do not interfere
with the road. the Journal thinks they
| should be permitted to stand.
1t depends upon the character of the
bushes. Ii they consist of red cherry
and chOkecherry saplings. the ento-
mologist is right. The greatest men,
ace to the Maine orchards comes from
the wild cherry trees which spring up
on newly cut over lands, and by the
sides of country highways. No matter

cases, however. the grOwths by the
sides Of roads in the country consist OF
slender gray birchcs, with now and

mingled with raspberry and black

more beautiful to look upon than a

assortment of herbage. The leaves of

shrubs are very pleasing to the eye.

more cheerful to behold than a group

bushes.
The Journals argument that bushes
are more pleasing than stunhps and

because they are bushes. must have
money to throw away. In view Of the
fact that this Bucxfield incident has
been brought forward as a shining ex-
ample by an Official who has been Sc
l-cted to care for the welfare of Maine.
it may be we'll for some enterprising

This is not a great year for railroad
building. According to the Railroad
Age, the trackage laid during the first
half of 1905 in the United States
amounts to only 1884 miles, compared
with 1897 in the same time last year,
and 1921 In the first half of 1903. No
new track was laid in New England
and Texas was the only state in which
over 100 miles was laid. Technical
journals continue to keep close ac-
count Of steam railroad extension
when it has ceased to amount to much
form year to year: but a similar re-
cord of street or electric railway build
ing is still lacking. although here is
where the activity in railroad building
is now largely centered.

who. after leaving school. had gone into
the West to seek opportunities for
greater advancement than We're presented

civil engineer in which he steadily rose
from one grade of work and responsible

ton of chief engineer and vice president
of the great Rock Island system. From
that his appointment to the work of di-
recting the construction of the Panama
canal the most important engineering
problem of the century. came as a nat
ural result of the great ability he had
shown in all the previous professional
work of his life.
Slowly and surely he had all these
years been proving his integrity and
showing the fitness for the greater work
that has now come to him. The man
from Maine is the man who has been
called to this gigantic task. 1t is les
