WALDO COUNTY W. c. T. U. CON-
VENTION.

The annual convention of the Waldo
County Woman's Christian Temperance
Union was held in Comet Grangelall, Swan
vile, June 18th, with large attendance.
The hall was beautifully decorated with
flowers, and a portrait of Miss Frances E.
Willard had a prominent place. The exer-
cises opened with devotional service led
by Mrs. NJ. c. Staples, and after the roll
call and appointment of committees, Miss
Alice G. Kane, to whose untiring efforts
in which she was aided by many of the
ladies of Swanyille-the success of the con-
vention is largely due, gave most cordial
address of welcome. Mrs. Abbie G. Hussey
of Waldo made a fitting response. Remarks
were made by James Cilley of Waldo, W.
L. C. Reynolds, Esq, of Searsport, T. G.
Smart of Waldo and Rev. A. j. Lockhart of
Winterport. The reports submitted from
the various departments showed continued
progress and were most encouraging. A
helpful and inspiring message from Mrs.
L. M. N. Stevens, State President, was read;
also an instructive letter from Mrs Rollins,
State agent of the Union Signal and Crusa-
der Monthly. Mrs. w. Ii. Twombly led
the memorial service, and the morning ses-
sion closed with the nooutde prayer by
Miss H. n. Millett.
After picnic dinner in the grange din
ing hall, the convention was again called to
order and an executive meeting was held.
This was followed by a devotional service
led by Rev. Alberta l.. Brewster. The drill
by the school children of Swanville which
followed was very pleasing feature, and
elected hearty applause. The children
were all dressed in white, carried prohibit
tion banners and sang prohibition songs
while going through the intricate move
mentS of the drill with remarkable pre-
cision. The old board of officers was re-
elected with the exception of the secretary:
Miss Emily F. Miller of Searsmont presi-
dent Mrs. Carrie Weymouth of Troy,
treasurer; Mrs. Lillian Parsons of Belfast'
secretary; Mrs. Helen A. Carter, Belfast,
musical director. Mrs. Parsons succeeds Mrs.
Georgia Tyler Woods of Troy. The resolu-
tons adopted endorse Sheriff Amos +, Car
Teton for reelection and declare against re-
submission and the election of re-submis-
sion men to office.
AT the evening session very cOfuldl au-
dress of welcome was given by Albert 7.
NickerSon of Swanville, who spoke of the
pleasure it gave the village to welcome the
delegates and of the honor conferred upon
it by the convention. The address which
followed by Rev. Alberta Z. Brewster was
| full of forceful thoughts and encourage
ment She is an earnest speaker and her
words thrilled every worker with spirit of
enthusiasm, and all felt after she was
through speaking that the future looked
bright and that the w. G. 7. u is stronger
than ever

LECTURES BY VIM, D. HAYWOOD.

VIM d. Haywood of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners, and whose trial for the mur-
der of Ex-Governor Stunenberg OF Idaho so
aroused the hosts of labor from ocean to
ocean, is to deliver two lectures in elaine
this month; one in the Arcade at Rockland,
Saturday evening, June 9th; the other at
Utopia Park, on the electric road between
Thomaston and Warren, Sunday afternoon,
June 2Sth. In all the large cities where Mr..
Haywood has spoken immense crowds have
gathered to hear him, and no doubt many
people of this part of Maine will avail them
selves of the opportunity to see and hear

Belfast, June 10, 1908.
The writer of this communication is evi
IDENTIFY unfamiliar with the conditions or
the water front; and so far from the item
in The Journal having been written with
out the slightest investigation it was the re-
suit of observations extending over more
than thirty years and of consultations with
business men who feel the necessity fol
such a landing as advocated The landing
10 which we referred was one maintained fol-
north side of the steamboat wharf for theil
boat business, and they had a perfect right
and were fully justified in charging for its
use. They could hardly be expected tC
maintain a public landing at their own ex
pense. AS to the landing of the Duplex
Roller Bushing Co. it was not taken into
consideration at all, as it was supposed te
be devoted exclusively to their own busi
ness, is fenced in, and with so many signs
about of "No Admttance," etc., few woulG
venture to make use of il. We are glad tl
know that it may be used by visiting yachts
men; but it would not meet the require
ments of such landing as our business
men wish to establish and which we hoped
to see in operation this season. Editor

RIVERS AND HARBORs.

Directly and indirectly mostly indi- rectly. the Philippines have cost the United States more than a billion of our money. and if war shall come from our possession of them. the cost will be many times multiplied. The late Thomas B. Reed opposed the acquisi- tion of that oriental land for many reasons. chief of which was that our own country was in the infant state of material development
 The waterways convention in session in this city last week reminded the country of Mir Reeds theory of de- Nelopment at home ere We exploit things abroad. We can hardly imag- inc the mighty works that might have been wrought if the billion We have dumped in the Philippines had been de- voted to our waterways. The navy need not have been half SO big. The army need not have cost half so much. The pension roll that grows like Jo- nah's gourd, need nor have been quito so prodieaI Of expenditure.
 Had that billion been expended on our rivers and harbors, We would have fourteen foot channel from Chicago 10 New orleans. from Pittsburs 10 Cai- TO. In addition, a ship canal would have separated north and south Flor ida. Another canal through the Dis nal Swamp would allow the mariner to shake his finger al the dangers of Hatteras. The Chesapeake and Della ware bays might have been connected hy canal on which could float the biggest ships. There are many other like enterprises that might have been bought with the remains of that billion.
 It is silly thought that the im- provement of rivers and harbors in jure railroads. The contrary is the truth. Facility of transportation stim- ulates production. and whatever en- hances production makes work for rail- roads.
 What have made our country so great and powerful are cheap lands cheap foods. cheap transportation. and
