To the Editor.
Dear Sir and Friend:
Can you let me know by putting a
piece in the Daily Kennebec Journal
if l have a right to lay logs. sticks,
or skids, outside of the travelled road,
in front of my barn or house to pro-
tect my lawn from travel over the
same tx64 -
Give the law in regard to what right
man has to the grass or hay that
grows by the side of the road that runs
through his farm. 49,
d. NJ. H.
Replying to the foregoing communi-
cation the Journal would say that If
the highway passes through our
friends land, then, unless the deed by
which he or his predecessors in title
acquired ownership expressly excludes
the highway, he owns the soil in the
same subject to the public right of
travel. If. however, his land is bound
ed by the highway, then (unless ex-
pressly excluded by the terms of his
deed as above stated he would, sub
ject to the public easement, own the
fee in the highway to the centre of the
same. In either case as such owner he
has the right to harvest the hay grow
ing on the highway within the limits
of his ownership as above stated.
With reference to the question of his
right to lay logs. etc. within limits
of the highway but outside of the
travelled road, the Journals under
standing of the law is that he has the
right so to do provided it does not in
any way obstruct the highway or the
bitches and drains along the same.
and that it does not interfere with or
endanger the right OF public travel. In
view of the provisions of Chapter 10 of
the Public Laws of 1913, requiring
written consent of the town authori-
ties before bridging over bitches and
drains. we think our friend would do
well in any event to secure written
permission from the selectmen or road
commissioner of his town and to OBJ
serve such precautions rs to the plac-
ing of the logs, etc. as they may sug-
gest.
Of course it is possible for an owner
of land by dedication or by deed to di-
vest himself Of all ownership in the
fee of the highway, but such cases
would be exceedingly rare in Maine,
and we have assumed that no such
unusual conditions exist in the case of
our friend.

He hopes however,

the shops rolls. He hopes however,
that none will be retired, but will
choose to quit liquor rather than quit
work. Milk vendors will make regu-
lar trips through the plant carrying
first aid to thirsty men.
Mr.. Burlington believes the enforce
ment of the dry rule will minimize
accidents and promote the efficiency
of the workers.
The great illinois Steel Co. thus
enacts a prohibitory law that can be
enforced. There is no question of in
reference with the enforcement of this
law by public sentiment" furnished by
the rum business. A man may cease
his personal liberty" antics that rob
his family. insult and menace his
neighbors, dull his mentality and re-
duce his efficiency, or he can get out.
The Illinois Steel Co.. Ike many 9TH
er great business institutions, is max
ing sobriety by law, against which the
rum trust and its newspaper tools
rave and froth at the mouth. But this
law puts it up to the workman him
self to decide whether personal lib
erty." or decency and good Job are
worth more to him. And 1t needs no
army of liquor deputies to enforce such
a law becuse it is the victim Of booze
that is dealt with, and not the rich,
resourceful and unscrupu-
lous liquor combination with which
public law has to deal

Editorial Comment.
Curious.
(Truth.)

New York suffragists have had a
parade as protest against the
"blighting of European civilization"
by the present war. Mrs. Harriet
Stanton Blatch says: Our great
grandchildren will feel the result of
this war. Art galleries and libraries
will be destroyed" But priceless
paintings, historic buildings, beautiful
churches have been destroyed for
months past by Mrs Blatch's fellow
suffragists in England. 1t evidently
never occurred to the New York suf-
fragists to parade with muffied drums
and in mourning garb to show their
grief at this wanton destruction. On
the contrary, they expressed great ad-
miration of the splendid courage of
those devoted women who were des-
troying the fruits OF civilization.
Curious, isn't It?

their quota Canada recently began
negotiations for the transportation of
$4,000 men to England. and thence to
the continent. Other troops will be
drawn from the Dominion. Australia
also is sending troops. Others will fol-

1t is the purpose Of Lord Kitchener
to act promptly. He desires to place
10000 men on the continent every
three months.
To Last at Least a Year.
From this it is apparent that he ex-
poets the conflict to last longer than
one year.
Indeed. no one here is willing to
forecast when the struggle will end.
1t Is believed in London that 1t will
continue until there Is absolute ex-
haustion.
For England to place 2.ooo, 900 SOL
diers in the field Is a colossal task
and gives an idea of the immensity of
the conflict. This means she will draw
into service every man of fighting age
that she can impress. 1t Is natural
