OF revenue through a more or less
beneficient exploitation, as the Span
iards attempted to do in their time
as a colonizing nation, and as the
Dutch are doing today in Java and
their other East Indian possessions.
there is not the remotest desire on
the part of any real American, not
withstanding the fact that the grea:
natural resources of the islands
would render them susceptible to
such exploitation should the rigor OF
rule that is imperative 10 the sue
cess of such a policy ever be insti-
tuted. But that these islands, with
no modification of the humanitarian
policy we have pursued from the first
day of our occupation and TO the con-
tiEued economic betterment of the
people themselves, can be developed
to q point where they are capable OF

that will be required by the United
States for some centuries to come is
demonstrable by simple mastering

in the states of Illinois, Montana,
Oregon. Tennessee, California and
Massachusetts. Its object is to pre-
vent the employment of men under
false pretenses in case of labor
troubles.
Representative Gallagher of Bangor
favored the law and argued that it
would be of benefit TO all concerned
where labor trouble exists as often
great hardships are inflicted not only
To workmen but to their employers
where they are hired without being
told that strike exists and often trans
ported long distances.
Mr.. Thompson stated that he had no
particular objection to the law but
questioned its Constitutionality as the
legality of the Massachusetts law is
now being tested He also questioned
its effectiveness as it would not operate
outside the State where it would be
most needed.

Wharf Privileges at So.
casco Without Opposition.

Opposition that was manifested, two
weeks ago, to the granting of wharf
privileges al South Casco on the shores
or Sebago lake in Cumberland county,
seemed to have entirely disappeared
when the matter again came up for
hearing at the session of the commit
tee on interior waters, Wednesday aft
ernoon.

manager of the Sebago Lake, Songo
River d Bay of Naples Steamboat Co..
which is seeking the wharf rights, ex-
planned to the committee that since the
last hearing. he and l.. w. WEIGH of
Raymond, enc Of the lana owners at
this point, had come to an agreement
so that the steamboat company would
be given right of way over the land
to the county road from the wharf.
The question of the handling of freight
came INTO the discussion and both Mr..
GooGridge and Hon. Howard Winslow
explained that the steamers did no
freight business at all
Two other matters dealing with Sc
ba6u Lake were also brought I'D at
this meeting and for both of them Mr..
Goooridse did the talking. One act was
in regard to the use of Songo lock.
This provides that regular passenger
and mail steamers-which are those of
Mr.. Goodridge's lines should have the
right OF way when entering the locks.
The manager of the line explained
that because some people with a grier-
ance against the captains or the line
had interfered with the steamers.
trains and mails had been missed and
the company and passengers had been
put to the greatest of Inconvenience.
The third act about Sebago lake
concerned an appropriation of $400 for
1918 and $500 for 1914 to aid in naviga-.
ton on the waters of that body. Mr.

Representative George r. Kimball of
Bridgton appeared ip behalf of the bill to
secure protection to the fishing in High
land lake and Woods ponds in Bridgton.
He explained that the lake has bass and
pickerel and large salmon, but that it is
hoped to secure protection against fish
ermen who take excessive catches, espe-
cially in Woods pond, where white perch
may be had at times in almost unlimited
numbers. He said that the pickerel and
bass do not seem to lessen the supply OF
fish in either pond. He said in reply 10
the question from Mr.. Austin of the com
mittee that he thought a general law, if
such is prepared, would be satisfactory
to the people of Bridgton.
