Those Portland papers cannot get
over their habit Of knowing things
which are not SO on the subject OF
capital removal. The Portland papers
of Thursday morning told their read
ers that the report OF the committee on
public buildings and grounds would be
presented to the Legislature or that
day. They gave the full details rs to
the nature and sicncrS OF the two re-
ports to be presented. The Portland
evening papers Of the same day as
Sured their reader; that the report hal
been presented at the forenoon session
and gave the same interesting details
AS matter of fact the report was not
presented at Thursdays session, nor
even at Fridays session, and for OBJ
Vious reasons cannot now he presented
before next Tuesday afternoon at the
earliest. In this as III other matters
the Portland boomers are too previous.

divided on the question Of removing the
capital 10 Portland, but that does NOT
signify that the vote OF the Legislature
will be at all close. The cost of build
ing a new State House in Portland
would take millions that are needed
for roads. schools, hospitals, etc. If
any one has doubts about the great
cost of fine public buildings we would
refer him to the new Cumberland
county court house now in process rf
construction.

Because this paper has held that a
court house for Cumberland county
and a State House for Maine are diff
ferent things and that the cost of the
latter would not fail to be four or five
times that of the former, the Portland
Advertiser calls us illogical. The
Advertiser has curious ideas of logic
in this capital removal business

The Portland Jamboolixity.

The State House at Augusta long
ago outgrew the deeds of the State
departments and the Legislature
Portland Press.
Plainly those Portland editors are
getting lost in the muddle befuddled-
ness of their acknowledgements
Journal
"Jamboolixity' sounds like a good
word-almost equal to boojum and
shark. AS to the condition of the
State House we have the evidence OF
Governor Cobb that every many of
the rooms in this building are over
crowded and inconveniently arranged,
and lack even the ordinary requisites
of good light and air.''-Portland Press.
Does the Press still contend that the
evidence which it quotes tends to show
that the State House has "outgrown"
the needs of the departments? Isn't its
explanation a case of befuddledness
worse befuddled? AS to ''jambOoliXty,'
it is really a simple little compound
which applies to the Portland situation
at the present time. For the benefit OF
the rcmovajists-whoa are so busy tell
ing how a four million dollar State
House can be built for million that
they have no time to figure out other
things-let us glance at the elements Of
which the word is composed.
The first syllable, 'ja1n," suggests
the little game of the Portland BOOM
ers to jam their scheme through the
Legislature with only one side of the
case heard, scheme which was very
promptly and properly foi!ed; the Sec
ond syllable, "boo," is taken from
the word "bamboozle," which des-
cribes the "ofier" of Portland to give
$500 O0O-or is it $750,O0O?-in counter
felt money toward building a State
House in that city; the third syllable.
elk" suggests the vigorous licks
which the Portland lobby las been put
ting in day and night trying 10 win
votes from legislators who know Well
that capi,al removal would be against
the wishes Of their constituents ana
against The interests of the State; the
fourth syllable, ''ity," is from tho words
city" and pity suggesting the great
pity that good city like Portland
should try to nave the seat of State
government made matter of barter
and sale in the hope of capturing the
State House for the qualification of is
local pride and the advancement Of its
commercial prestige. "Jamboolixity' is
Just the word for the Portland situa-
ton Even the Press admits that it is
a good word ana the l.tc:;!t of Maine

Just SO years ago the first day Of

Al that time looms did not have any

ent Mrs. Hodgdon is the oldest tex
tile worker in the cotton mills Of Maine
in point of years that she has been IN
plovcd. Although Sh" has worn
glasses at her work for 25 years sh"
sys she can see to do her work as well
as ever, and it is seldom that she
makes a mistake. She enjoys the mill
work and declares that when not at

tory with the hum of sEindlcs seems
like home to her. During the years
she has been employed she has never
nad a dispute with any of her over
secrs and was never discharged or sent
out Of the mill for any cause what
ever.
The attention of the voters III the
country towns of Maine is called to the
following circular letter sent out by
State Highway Commissioner Paul D..
Sargent. 1t contains some good advice
to them: 1.-THE time is drawing near for
town meeting and l desire to call at
tention of the voters to the short sight
ed and extravagdnt policy practised
in many towns of clecting a new man
to the office of road commissioner each
year. 1t should be remembered that
road commissioners generally receive
their education III matters of road
building and maintenance from their
actual experience after being elected
to office. This being 50, it certainly
behooves every town now enjoying the
services of a competent man as road
commissioner to see to it that that man
is retained in office. No business en-
terprise would long succeed with a
change in management every year.
Why then should we expect efficiency
and economy in our highway depart
ments with Il change in the head of the
department each year We hope the
voters will think this matter over
