A really curious question has been
raised by the Boston Herald. Why, it
asks, does Maine man always speak
of his part of the country as 1.-THE state
of Maine instead of calling 1t simply
Maine" as a New Yorker would say
New York. or a Nebraskan "Nebras-
ka?" AS an ADEQUATE answer to the
inquiry 1t says: Maine was not one of
the original states. but up to 1920 was
n part of Massachusetts, 1t was then
known as the District of Maine In
1920 Maine achieved her independence
and became separate state of the
union. In their consequent elation the
people of the new state began to speak
of the state of Maine, as distinguished
from the old District of Maine, and the
expression passed into current speech.

Council had invited the President 10 come
TO Montgomery. he thought the city
should pay some of the expenses.
The only thing Acting Mayor Mcintyre
said was that he understood the CONNER
cial and Industrial Association was TO
raise the funds for the entertainment OF
For some time past there have been
frequent expressions OF dissatisfaction by
citizens over the announcement that
President Roosevelt will spend 80 much
time at Booker Washington's school at
Tuskegee and will only be here for two
hours.
FROM Iuskegee comes dnOtner com
plant that the President has given Wash
Ington's school the most part of his time.
Recently the Presidents Secretary wired
Mayor Lewis at Tuskegee 10 see Booker
Washington and arrange for a programme
for his entertainment. This nettled the
Tuskegee Mayor and he wired back that
the city OF Tuskegee wanted 10 entertain
him separately and distinctly from Wash

IL was some time before an answer was
received to this wire. but IL came, saying
the President would give Tuskegee about
one-half hour OF his time.
This Is the first opposition TO President

will be passed at the next meeting but n5t
without strenuous opposition from Alder
man Sulliven. who says: This money
should not be taken out OF the pockets OF
the taxpayers OF Montgomery and can
