ELLSWORTH, Me, Nov. II, 1918.
To the Editor OF the American;
think the state highway commission
ers did Just right in selecting Bangor as
the place to give hearing on the state
automobile trunk line between Bangor and
Rar Harbor. That was a hearing; be-
ginning ON a decision.
l believe the highway commission Is big
enough to decide the best route to be es-
tablished. This trunk line between BAN
gor and Bar Harbor Is not Hancock
county matter, to be decided by 3 vote OF
the people of Hancock county. II 10 q
State matter; State road 10 be built for
and by the State, and must be decided by
the State commission.
II Hancock county were TO vote on this
route, then Penobscot county should vote
on it, too, for a part OF this trunk line win
be in Pcnobscot county. whichever way
IL goes.
This concerns the people of Washing
ton county, who may want to go to Ban
gor or to the western part Of our state, rs
they will not want 10 go twenty-five miles
farther by going by the way Of Biuehill
and Bucksport. Washington county,
then, should have q chance to vote, II Han
cock county Is to vote.

In a paper read for him by Rev. W..
F. Berry, of Waterville, before the
national convention of Anti-Saloon
league at Columbus, o., last Wednes-
day night, Gov. Haines discusses the
Maine prohibition law. Gov. Haines
believes that the federal liquor tax Is
all wrong. s'The fact that the federal
government licenses the sale OF liquor
and the State prohibits it,n he says,
''makes dual situation between the
two governments over the same
people. They are inconsistent, and
one or the other is right or wrong.
This is question for Congress TO con-
slider and in the near future. We
may need an amendment to the con-
stitution to prohibit the sale OF in
toxicating liquors, hut we don't need
an amendment to repeal the internal
revenue tax on hqcors or to prohibit
the carrying OF liquor advertisements
in the mail, and thus take the federal
government on. of partnership
with the whiskey and beer interests,
Nothing would strengthen the hands
of the State more than such legisla-
tion.n

that the national grange to-day rep
resented what Tammany did in New

Master Wilson was ''phant tool in
the hands OF State Master Jones, Of
Indiana, the Murphy of the national
grange. And Mr.. Gardiner, We in

We print this week a communica-
ton from H. F. Maddocks, OF North
Ellsworth, on the State highway CUES
ton. Mr.. Maddocks takes the ground
that this is State matter, not to be
decided by vote of the counties. His
point that, If Hancock county is to
vote on the route OF the Bangor Bar
Harbor road through this county, of
course Penobscot county will vote on
the part of the road in that county.
suggests an interesting contingency.
If Hancock county votes to go one
way and Penobscot county votes to
go the other way-what then?

These are the days when the barefoot
boy. rapidly becoming extinct, has rivals
for aquatic supremacy at the swimming
holes in boys who have never known the
JOY Of going barefoot and cutting their
feet into small. jelly-like cubes with
jagged glass. or getting their heels full
of stone bruises. But the swimming holes,
the real swimming holes, rapidly are dis
appearing. Next summer there may to
left no more OF the back-to-nature kind
OF bathing places.
Many. many years ago. according to the
old men who tell of the warm days ana
red-hot nights they used TO have in the
days gone past, there used to be a SWIM
ming hole for every boy. Possibly these
have dried up, but the fact remains that
the Municipal Bathing Beach, regarded
In boys circles as a sort of bathing trust.
is becoming more and more popular as
the old swimming holes are closed to
bathers.
In Georgetown there are still a few
swimming holes, although most Of them
now are used exclusively by boys with
bathing suits. On Rock Creek. between
the bridges at P Street and Massachu-
setts Avenue, there are two swimming
holes, the safest for the old-fashioned
kind of boy. There are several on the
Potomac, notably in the vicinity Of Ana
lostan Island. and on the upper river near
the Three Sisters.
There are a few swimming holes on the
Eastern Branch, and there are others at
Bladensburg and College Park. Md. But
the swimming holes are very, very few.
They will be succeeded. in a couple Of
