A call at the State Capitol Tuesday
discovered a large crew busily engaged
in grading and terracing the new
capitol grounds the work on the north
terrace being nearly completed.
The finishing work upon the exterior
walls of the new north and south

spaces between the blocks of granite
with cement The base of the huge
dome has been finished with copper
sheets and the dome itself is being
covered in with metal overcoating.
Plasterers are hustling inside and
have on for the greater part the first
coat of plaster. Some Of the work is

private office and Council room which
will occupy the corner of the third
floor just below. From these rooms
a superb view of the kennebec valley

A Call on Secretary Of State.
As the Journal man has once before
observed the people of Maine would
be surprised if they could make, as is
the Journal mans daily duty, call
at the States offices, for they would
find their public servants actually at
work and working hard from early
morning until supper time. Many OF
the officials. heads of departments and
oftentimes their subOrdinates come
back in the evenings to labor over
their official duties.
The public idea that a public office IS
an easy Job, "a soft snap is not true
the Journal man finds as he cruises
around the Blaine House and Capitol
Everybody is busy over multiplicity
of tasks.
The Journal man had an idea that a
Secretary of State was lordly sort
of individual in broadcloth and patent
feathers enthroned in an easy chalr
smoking Havana cigars. Entering
Secretary of State Browns office We
found that gentleman IN an easy
office chair il is true but busy as a
wood sawyer signing hundreds Oh
small checks He had already been
in that chair four hours hard at work
and would be busy until five in the
afternoon.
During the Journal mans call, and
he was there some half hour at work
on CORPORATION news, Secretary of
State Brown in addition to his routine
business was kept answering some "a
long distance telephone calls. we
discovered that a Maine Secretary of
state has no easy Job. He must have
tho natience of Job and the robust
l,,,1 hnt
iob and fiji all the demands of his Of
fee
If is so all over the capitol and in
al, tho rooms at the Blaine House.
The neople of Maine pay their pubic
servants less and get more out OF thei''
for their money than does any other
state.
Even to get at the Governor man
hoe ,o have q call for six o'clock in the
morning.
