We are having hard luck with our
canals. The Panama canal is closed to
navigation by landslides at time when
it is most needed for commercial traffic,
and now a number of marine experts
have declared that the Cape Cod Canal
is unsafe for navigation in its present
condition and that the construction OF a
lock or system of locks is needed to off
set the powerful sweep of the tide
through the canal. Capt. James H.
Pierce stated last Friday afternoon at
hearing before the joint board of Har-
Dor and Land Commissioners and the
Public Service Commission at the State
House, Boston, that the current in the
canal is SO strong that the Boston Tow
boat Company would not use the water
way on its own business and that the

CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much blood disease
as scrofula or rheumatism. 1t may
be relieved, but it cannot be removed
by simply local treatment. 1t causes
headache and dizziness, impairs the
taste, smell and hearing, affects the
voice, deranges the digestion, and
breaks down the general health. 1t
weakens the delicate lung tissues and
leads to consumption.
Hoods Sarsaparilla goes to the
seat Of the trouble, purifies the blood,
and is so successful that it is known
as the best remedy for catarrh.
Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens
and tones the whole system. 1t builds
up. Ask your druggist for Hoods,
and insist on having it. There is no
real substitute.

discourage g financial conditions, has
maintained its organization and effici-

In the estimation of visitors, if not OF
the citizens generally, our shade trees are
first among the attractions of Belfast.
Many of them have attained an age
when decay sets in, FASTENED perhaps by
many years of neglect, and in the recent
equinoxial gale at least six large trees
were blown down and many others lost
large limbs. This mortality in our shade
trees will naturally continue, and if the
vacancies are not filled by planting-and
trees do not grow in a blythe time
may come when we will miss the CRATE
full shade in summer, the glorious au-
tumnal foliage, and that which entities
our city to the appellation of Beautiful
Belfast. These trees are for the most
part outside of where the "front yard"
fences used to stand, and are thus within
the street limits, and it is generally rec
ognized that they are therefore city prop
erty and not to be cut down or moved
without permission from the city officials.
If the ownership is vested in the city the
trees should be cared for as other city
property-de wood removed, pruned if
necessary, and the work should be cone
by or under the supervision of an ex-
perienced man. That the trees are of
real value to the city can hardly be ques-
toned even by those insensible to their
beauty. The Bridgton News recently
published letter from lone of Bridg-
toms estimable summer guests" who
said:
l have repeatedly brought persons to
Bridgton for their first visit and | have
never taken them from the train to the
post office without feeling it necessary
to apologize for the tree!ess condition of
the street. First impressions you know
are lasting. l am sure that the excep-
tional prosperity of many of the towns
on the Boston & Albany R. R., is due to
the landscape gardening about the depots.
Everyone passing through CIR arriving
gets a pleasant first impression that
never wears out.

spirited ladies that did many creditable
things during its active existence, en-
ployed forester and had all the trees in
the city gone over. For many years the
Sc niors of the Belfast High school have
planted tree at graduation, but our i'm
preston is that because the trees select
ed were not what they should have been,
or were not properly planted or cared for,
many of them have died. Last spring
the Womans Club inaugurated what they
intend to make an annual custom and
planted the Williamson tree on High
street where there was vacancy. We
have thus called attention to our shade
trees with the hope of arousing public
interest in caring for those we have and
in replacing those which succumb tc
storms and decay, that our city may con-
tinue to be recognized as beautiful Bel
fast"

There is general regret amo-g the
well-informed that the new constitution
for New York should have been voted
down in the election Nov. End and by a
majority of 100000. The constitution
was the work of Elihu Root, one of the
abest men in this country many con-
slider him the ablest-and the Boston
Journal says of it:
The constitution was almost marvel
of careful craftsmanship. In lodging
radicalism and Tending off conservatism
it came about as close as it could to a
really progressive course. Economy and
honesty were written into it. 1t provid-
ed better control of State expenditures
by budget system, shorter ballot,
the elimination of spoils, fairer taxa
ton. These and other reforms were
badly needed, and now they are lost prob
ably for the best part of a decade.
