The Referendum may easily be
brought into contempt by invoking
it's provisions on too many matters
of legislation, as is sought to be done
this year. In the case of the State
House enlargement, the Portland
Press truly says:
"The Legislature decided after
mature elaboration, that enlarge
ment was needed, and it appropri-
ated $350,000 for the purpose. To
make up our minds whether the
Legislature was right, we have to
consider but two questions: Is 1t
necessary? Can it be afforded? Now
nobody know the conditions at Au-
gusta better than the members of the
State government and the members
of the Legislature. They have had to
occupy the public building there, and
they know how inadequate tfls
building is for the business of the
State, how crowded the offices are,
and how priceless documents are
exposed to destruction for lack of
fireproof storage. If the members OF
the Legislature are to be trusted as
men of truth and honor, the con-
templated improvements are needed.
In any event the man who lives at a
distance from the capital and who
may never have visited it and who
knows nothing of the condition which
the State House is in, except from
hearsay, should hesitate to set up his
judgment against that of his repre-
sentative. Finally, can it be af-
forded? OF course it can. The great
State of Maine can afford to house its
government property and protect its
archives. 1t cannot afford to neg
lect that"

Pishon's Ferry Bridge.

A conference was held last week
Wednesday, at the county commits
sioner's rooms at the court house in
Augusta between the county COM
missioners of Kennebec and Somerset
counties upon the matter of the con-
strnction of the new bridge at Pishon's
Ferry, authorized by the 74th Legis-
lature. Kennebec county was repre-
sented by County Commissioners
Levi T. Williams, Irving Il. Bradley
and William d. Haley; and Somerset
county by g. 7. Tibbetts of Hinckley,
Henry Crowell of Skowhegan and q.
I. Perkins of Madison.
The proposed bridge as has already
been stated is TO be 600 feet long and
will cross the Kennebec river between
the towns of Fairfield in Somerset
county and Clinton in Kennebec coun-
ty. The exact location as well as the
details of the construction of the
bridge will be determined by the
county commissioners of the two
counties. The bridge is to cost $50, 600
and of this expense the counties of
Kennebee and Somerset must each
bear the sum of $4,000, while the re-
mainder is to be met by the State, and
the three towns directly interested in
the construction of the bridge, Gin
ton, Fairfield and Canaan.
The meeting Wednesday was for
the purpose of preliminary conference
and later the county commissioners
Of both counties will visit Pishon's
Ferry and select suitable site for
the bridge and take up in detail the
matter of construction. The matter OF
damages to the owner of the existing
ferry between Fairfield and Clinton
will also have to be considered in con-
nection with the building of the brid pe.

Do this with your children.

School children should be fed plenti-
fully and frequently on Quaker Oats.
1t makes the best possible breakfast for
anyone who is to work with either brain
or muscle. It's easy to prove this in
your own family. Increase the daily
consumption of Quaker Oats and you'll
see an almost immediate improvement in
the health and energy Of those who eat
it. The regular size package of Quaker
Oats sells at l0c, the large family pack
age size at Csc; the family package with
a piece Of china 30c.
Breakfast on Quaker Oats every day.

Who Marches Next Memorial Day?
orohas raxt Memorial pave

Who marches next Memorial Day?
Speak up, brave comrades: let men say
"The Post turns out in force this year.
Grants veterans, Sherman's infantry,
Sheridans tireless cavalry,
Farraguts sea dogs without peer:
Tireless and fearless in the past,
Bear yourselves proudly to the last,
Though years fly fast and death draws near.
Who'll bear the dear old Flag-the bright
TrEcoloTed banner red and white
As sunsets glory, spotless snow,
ON whose broad field of heavenly blue
The golden stars of statehood true
Like hIyouac fires divineiy glow
It's but a wsp OF SILK: the star
Light a boy slight wand. You laugh:
They seemed so forty years ago.
Who'll lead us through the crowded streets
While comets blare and bass drum-beats
Help us to keep unwonted time
To martial strains that give new life,
To memories OF those years of strife
And trial in yon southern CLINE:
Wherein we poured out Youths sweet bloom
And Manhood strength like the perfume
That censers waste In fanes sublime?
Not the old colonel, tried and true,
Nor his stout major: in review
Or march they II lead us nevermore.
Some captain brave, lieutenant gay,
or sergeant proved in march and fray,
Succeeds to the command they bore:
When, waking from the spell of peace
In memories proud we felt surcease
OF pain and donned the blue once more.
In memories of brave deeds and men,
OF losses blending JOY and pain:
OF gallant lives given to death
Loyalty, cheerily as rain
Falls on the white-hot lava-plain
To perish in It's seething breath.
In charity, to those grief-worn
Watching in vain for their return
Ofwhom unknown" the record'saith.
Who speaks for us Memorial Day?
Whose burning words shall for say
Something that brings our lost youth near:
The hopes and aims of high emprise
That made life nothing in our eyes
And Honor more than Death or Fear:
Who shall interpret for us, now
That men to gold and pleasure bow
How love OF country was most dear?
Whom shall we miss Memorial Day?
Well Is 1t that long years allay
The burdens of the laboring heart
In joy or sorrow, for the list
Is long of loved ones we have missed
From camp and banquet field and mart:
In ancient foray, field or fray.
And peaceful death beds passed away,
They from our hearts were torn apart
God give them peace Memorial Day
Whereas His blessed Islands lay
In golden light, or purple haze,
Where deathless flowers and healing balm
For tired eyes, and holy calm
Await the brave whose fadeless bays
Growing immortal brows reward
Heroes whose lives were given to guard
The Right, through the eternal days.
What shall we say Memorial Day?
That we tread fearlessly the way
From Manhood's prime to Ages frost:
AS In the grand, grim past we trod
The wine-press of the Wrath of God
Regardless of the pain or cost
That still we prize Ger wealth and power
our fatherland, and freedoms dover,
For which such precious lives were lost.

the present agitation to abolish or

p Il do think. however, he continued
that it should be modified To some
extent in order to obviate these fatal
accidents as much as possible. To
this end, ! think the colleges and uni
versities of the country should get to-
gether this winter and go over the
situation carefully with the members
of the football rules committee.
Il have no doubt such a conference
would result in the discovery of some
means of preserving the autumn game
and yet eliminating the tragic fea-
lures that have made this season so
memorable
