reasons why that city should be mad
the state capital suggests that Portland

gotten that and the presentation Of the
argument almost convinccs us that the

is another side to the matter. These
folks are all dead. They could not
render legislators much assistance in
the future. We also recall that prior
t. their deaths. LongfeloW. Reed and

fCrt on foot tc have the channel
dredged and Strengthened, and these
efforts have been more strenuous of
late, owing to the increasing naviga-
ton caused by the increased summer
travel in this direction and the fact
that the summer resorts about Booth
bay Harbor are growing in size and
popularity. During the past summer
steamers often. grounded on some of
the shoal spots AT low tide owing to
their heavy loads, but it was impossible
to put larger boats on the route on ac-
count Of the shallow water. one new
steamer is being built, however. for
the Bath and Boothbay route. which is
larger and draws more water than any
now in commission. but with the i'm
provements 10 be made about He'll
Gate, it is believed she will have little
trouble and will be the beginning of a
good-sized fleet of Stanch steel boats,
which will be able to carry passengers
with comfort and safety and to store
an enormous amount of freight.

y" great progress seems to have been
made thus far in the manufacture of
dcnaturcd alcohol but they are still
telling If wonderful things to be &C
complished in this line. For instance
they are calculating in Iowa that as
5000, 900 acres Of corn are annually
planted in that state. and as each acre
proIIces not less than 10 tons Of corn
stalks. and each ton of stalks produces
120 pounds of Standardization, the
state could annually produce II. 400, G0G
pounds of alcohol or / .Si4 900, 600 gallons
at Il value of say 40 cents a gallon and
this merely as a by-product. From
cornstaIks alone the state would be
able to obtain alcohol enough to run
all its factories and all its railroads
and street railways, and heat all of its
houses besides. 1t is time however
to stop figuring out the possibilities OF
the free alcohol policy. and proceed to
establish some actual results along
these lines.

Scarboro Stands BY Portland.

The Portland Express, along with 9TH
er Portland newspapers has attempted
to bclittle the significance of the
900 letters which the Journal published
not long ago from the leading men in
almost every town of the State, outside
of Cumberland and Kennebec counties,
opposing capital removal But now it
has begun the publication of letters
and interviews favoring such removal.
In its first instalment, which we pre-
sumo is to be followed up by others of
a similar nature. is people are heard
from and the value of their views upon
the subject may be imagined when it
is said that they all dwell in rural
towns within few miles of Portland.
In the Journals symposium on this
subject we purposely omitted the re-
plies from kennebec county but the
Express starts off by publishing the
views of people living in the section
which everybody admits desires the re-
moved. To be sure, several of the IS
PERSONS who were interviewed by the
Express on this subject are little
shaky Oh the matter especially when
the matter of expense comes up, but
ali of them agree that the possession of
the capital would be fine thing for
Portland, which, of course, is some
thing that nobody denies.
We wish. now that the Express has
gone into this line of business, that it
would publish daily instruments of
letters and interviews regarding CAPT
tai removal from every section Of the
State. The results would certainly be
interesting. but of course the Express
will do nothing of this kind. That
paper knows, just as all the Portland
boomers know. that there is no demand
for capital removal outside of Portland
and its immediate vicinity but that on
the other hard there is a general and
emphatic opposition to it throughout
every section of the State. The Ex-
press need not have wasted three valu-
able columns to demonstrate that
there are people in Scarboro and Cor
ham who would like to see the seat of
State government changed from Au-
gusta to Portland. That is granted.
But Portland and its suburbs are a
mighty small part of the great State of
Maine.

Changing Names Capital.
(\Vatel.yille SentinelD


Tomorrow the Senate viii vote on
the proposition to submit to the people
the question of changing the location
of the state Capital. There ought e
be no doubt Of the result of the vote
There is no more occasion for moving
the Capital than there is for moving
the State University. the State Prison
the Insane Hospital of any other state
institution. There is no more call, II
the capital were to be moved. to take
it to Portland than to Lewiston, to
Bangor. or to Waterville.
True. Portland has offered to con-
tribute toward the expense of the
change 1t is also true that Portland
is willing. yes, even anxious. to expend
a reasonable campaign found in pro-
noting the removal. but. it would
hardly seem reasonable that Maine
should expend two or three millions OF
money unnecessarily simply because
Portland is willing to throw away q
million.
The whole thing is a bad proposition
fl ON every point of view. 1t is bad
for Portland and bad for the rest OF
the State. There would be no danger
OF it receiving any considerable sup
port in the Legislature excepting that
il has attached to il the referendum
clause. which allows members. if they
care to do 50. to shirk the RESPONSE
bility Of deciding a question which
never ought to have arisen
The people do not want to spend
money to erect State House at Port
land Neither do they want to be put
to the trouble and expense Of voting
on the matter. They expect. and have
right to expect. that the men whom
they elected to transact public bust
ness for them will do it and not. sim.

No plans for the building at Portland

mate by reliable architects has been
furnished of the probable cost. The
fact that petitions are being received
By the Legislature almost daily re-
monstrating against the change would
90 to show that the conservatism OF
the State is against the outlay when
would be involved in the change. The
principal argument used in favor OF II
is tnat Augusta has poor hotel accom-
modations, but prominent citizens there
have formed a syndicate and raised a
large sum of money with which to
build 4 new hotel and remove that OBJ
iection.--S Springfield Republican.
That shows how an impartial observ-
or outside the state views this capital
removal proposition here in Maine. The
Republican is undoubtedly right i'll

posed change. 1t is wrong, however
in saving the matter of hotel accom-
