The road information contained in
this weeks bulletin 10 of more than
the usual interest and is given below:
To Bar Harbor:-The official detour
route to Bar Harbor. via East
Eddington. Clifton and Otis into
Ellsworth is in good condition and has
been thoroughly signed with direction
and caution signs by the Bangor
Auto Club. Work on the main high
way. via Holden and Dedham, Is go
ing on at East Holden and this
stretch may be avoided by taking the
road in East Holden leading to
Egery's Mills and thence to the main
highway at Phillips lake. This de-
tour is narrow and calls for careful
driving, particularly at the railroad
crossing.
To avoid Hermon:-To avoid the
rough travelling in Hermon go out

leading to the State highway In Car

Is necessary to go right around and
this takes one out on the Island Falls
road taking up Route IS at 120 miles.
This detour is two miles longer but
the better roads and the fine scenery
paws for the extra distance. Ten
miles this side of Houiton the new
trunk line is met and this is a fine
thoroughfare. Reports have gone forth
that the Aroostook roads are bad as a
result Of the rains but a reliable re-
port says that they have never been
any worse than other roads in Maine.
The Haynesville road is reported as
being in bad shape and should be
avoided in favor Of Route IS.

INSIST UPON TT

NoUNCILMEN LYNCH, BOWMAN
~ AND TAYLOR placed themselves
before the public in a favorable
light yesterday when they took the
first steps toward compelling the OBJ
structionist members to join with them
in the completion of the public i'm
provements which, for political pur-
poses, the two minority councilmen
would hold up.
The meeting of Council brought out
no good excuse for delay. The Re-
publican members showed conclusively
that there is money at hand with
which to do the work the people have
approved and that the Gorgas reso-
Tuition is ill-umed. to put it mildly.
The Mayor displayed a lamentable
Ignorance of the improvement loan
proposition, admitting that he didn't
know the amount of money authorized.
and Mr.. Gorgas showed no reason why
he should not proceed at once TO coun-
tersign the warrants and permit OF the
prompt protection OF that section of
the river sewer which still lies exposed.
The Republican members showed
every disposition to be reasonable.
Notwithstanding that the City Solicitor
had justified their course in an opinion
rendered the Board of Public Works,
they were willing that he should be
permitted to repeat his views to Coun-
ell direct Doubtless the opinion re-
qUested will be forthcoming promptly.
Then leniency should end. The Re-
publican members should insist that
the work be done and done without
delay. If Mr.. .Gorgas and the Mayor
choose to remain obdurate in the face
of legal opinion, no time should be lost
in calling upon the courts to prevent
uncalled-for delay of the urgent public
work involved.

AN INLAND LOCATION

TINE Baltimore American urges
that the proposed headquarters
and experimentation station of
the new Edison invention board be
located by the government at Harper's
Ferry. The American calls attention
TO the ancient importance of that
place as a munition center, of which
1t was robbed by the John Brown
raid, and bases argument IN favor of
its rejuvenation largely on historical
grounds.
But there is another and much more
important reason why the government
should have large arms and NUM-
tions factories and headquarters far
from the seashore in some such easily
defended location as Harper's Ferry
of which there are hundreds even
better in other parts Of the country
and that is the necessity of keeping
them safe from possible attack from
land or air should a foreign enemy
ever gain foothold on our shores.
Some time the interior OF this country
may be called upon to repel an in
vader. If that time ever comes it will
/ have no time to erect new factories.
The necessity will be ever present for
"a constant and unobstructed flow of
munitions and arms to the front. In
that case the interior factory would
be Of InestfmsbIe beneft. The thought
is we'll worth consideration.

ONE YEAR BEHIND
cleveland Plain Dealer :

cleveland Plain Dealer.1
The United States Supreme Court
adjourned the other day for the sum-
mer months. the adjournment marking
the completion of twenty-five years
under the Evarts law, which estab-
llshed the nine circuit courts of appeal.
One OF the motives for establishing
these subsupreme courts was to relieve
the highest court of the pressure of
work that was keeping II perpetualIy
behind In its work. In the Twenty-Five
years, 1t Is announced, the court has
come two years nearer catching up
with It's docket. It was three years
pehlnd when the Evarts law was en-
acted; 1t Is only one year behind now.
/ This Is some progress. However
II appears to leave much still to be
desired.
Broadly speaking. there can be nc
real reason why any court should be
even one year behind its docket. Jus.
tice is not promoted by delay. No one
gains, unless IL be the advocates of an
unsqund contention. The honest liti.
gsnt loses. the court loses and societ,
loses.
Court delays are one of the fruitful
sources OF discontent with the proc.
| esses of law. But IL the highest court
IN the land sets the example of beins
SO habitually behind with its work thai
II makes 1t point of virtue when 1,
comes within twelve months of catch.

AssIMILATING THE INDIAN


49,
according to special report on the
indian population of the United
States and Alaska soon to be issued by
the Bureau of the Census, there were
265.6SS Indians in this country in
1910, representing an increase of IT.
430. or per cent. over the number
reported in 1890, when the bureau
made its first enumeration of the
race.
Tho report, however, will show a
much lower rate of growth for the
Indian population than for the white,
an increasing admixture of white blood,
decreasing vitality of full-blood In
dians, indicating a tendency to disap-
pear altogether: increasing attendance
at school and decreasing illiteracy. an
increase In the percentage of the self
supporting and finally a decrease in
the number of reservation Indians.
No better tribute could be paid to
the character of the Indian than Is
contained in these statistics. The In
dian is being assimilated by civilized
America He is adjusting himself to
changed conditions.

IN THE WARS VAST ARENA
Osowec Which Guards the Important Railway Ap-
proach to Bieostok

from the German border, and about
so miles from the trunk line artery.
From Ostrolenka, three branch rail-
ways join the main line.
From OSowiec, q railway passes
south, through Bielostok and over
the Petrograd line, over a
Warsaw Wilma branch line, through
the fortress Brest Livotsk, upon the
trunk line Warsaw Moscow, to
Kholm, a station on the railway
Warsaw-Kiev, passing through Lublin
and Kholm.
The little village of Osowiec, with
its single street and struggling
farms, has little other importance
than its military strength. 1t is sit
uated on the right and lower shore
of the Bohr River. The field works
front toward the northwest and fall
back to the river. Just across from
Osowiec, upon the left, and higher
shore of the river, is the larger viii
lage of Gonionds, to which the de-
fensive works are continued The
Bohr is navigable here, and part of
its shore is steep and easily defend
able. Osowiec is one of the more i'm
portant frontier Russian fortresses."
