worst rhiDg for Good Roads.

"Perhaps the worst thing which could
happen to the cause Of good roads," says
Form and Fiveside, would be the build
ing of all those now needed, with no pro-
vision for keeping them up after their
completion NO permanent road is per-
manent in the sense OF not needing re-
pairs and upkeep. A concrete roadway six-
teen feet wide can be kept in condition for
twenty years or more by the expediture
OF from Us to S26 per mile year. There
is probably no road, permanent or tenn
porary, which can be kept in really good
condition for less.
Some charge for maintenance there
surely will be on every permanent road.
When issues Of bonds for better roads are
voted on, this matter OF maintenance
should be provided for.
'sIn many cases the permanent road will
be far easier to maintain by the ordinary
tax levy than were the old, unimproved
highways. In such cases the new road,
instead OF adding to the local burden, win
tighten it.n

The retirement OF Henry Ford from
the peace expedition is generally &C
cepted as the beginning of the end OF
this widely advertised, perhaps seri-
ously intended but visionary scheme.
knowledge of just what has taken
place in the peace party is obscured
by many conflicting reports, but this
very fact seems confirmation of the
report that ''many men of many
minds" aboard the peace ship were
unable to agree upon a program of
operations, and dissolution OF the ex-
petition has begun. Mr.. Ford is re-
ported seriously i'll. He has left the
party, but continues his financial sup
port, turning the movement over to
the Women's International Peace
association. His retirement is fol-
lowed by the announcement of Mrs.
Inez Milhoiland Boissevain, one OF
the leading women in the party, that
the plan was doomed to failure, and
she had Withdrawn. The peace
propagandists will probably straggle
home from Europe, and the war will
continue to a natural conclusion
Peace proposals must come from
within the warning nations, not from
without. This country and Other
neutral nations stand ready to grasp
the first opportunity that will oper
the way to mediation.

Eight Million Woman workers.

Eight Million Woman Workers.
In the Jannsry Woman's Home Cow
panson, Secretary Of Labor Wilson, in des-
crihing the new federal employment bu-
rezu, says:
To-day there are, in round numbers,
about 40, 100000 persons ten years OF age
and over engaged in gsinful occupations
in the United States. OF thess, about
8, ooo. 600 are woman.
upon the constant employment OF
these millions there depends the we'll
being of the average family in this coun-
try. The wage-earner is, ia four cases out
OF five, Q man, because statistics show
that about every fifth salaried individual
is . woman. AS the average man has one
or more women depending upon him for
more or less long time, it is obvious that
the question OF the permanence OF his
employment is as vital TO the fair sex as
that OF the average working woman.
When q woman loses her Job the
economic loss may AFFECT her alone; when
q man loses his job the loss will be apt to
reach others beside himself, because the
average American family, according to the
latest census, consists of i've persons"

A Farmer Who Moved TO T0Wn.
In Farm and Fireside is the story OF =
farmer Who sold his property to livs in the

He found, however, that the city man pays
dearly for these Injuries.

was Just as hard for the city man to get
up at O'Clock inIthe morning as 1t was
for the country man to get up at 5. Why
so. Because he must not relax; be is
ever on duty. He must smile at This per-
son and that person. He dares not notice
anyone's peculiarities, or oddities, or un-
reasona pleness. The result IL he must
find his relaxation in the evening; there
fore the family rarely gets to bed before
10 or II O'Clock, and in the morning
finds him just as sleepy and far less re-
freshed than found him on the farm.
"we found going to work for somebody
else every day in the year-except Sunday
and perhaps . two-wee vacation under

suit our country spirit OF freedom. We
came to know that our friends saved

ably hard TO separate luxuries from

The postof,ice Primaries.

What may be accepted as as q demo-
cratic view Of the postofice primaries in
augurated by Senator johnson appeared
in the Bar Harbor Times OF Dec. Is.
While the Times is independent in poll
tics, Editor Sherman is true-to-the-Iine
democrat. This is what he has to say
about postoff1ce primaries:
Hon. Charles r. johnson. United States
Senator from Maine. is generally acknowl-
edged to be one Of the most Influential
statesmen in Washington. he not only has
the confidence Of his own party, bat his hon
esty, sincerity and ability 10 recognized by
all. His desire not to be called . political
dictator or boss has. however, got him Into
peck Of trouble in his home State, the result
of which viii probably be apparent when the
votes are counted next September.
Before he went to Washington, Senator
johnson let it be known that the people Of
the various towns and cities Of Maine must
get together At the proper time and select
their candidates for postmaster. At first
thought this seemed to be fair and reason
able thing to do, bat when it came to putting
the plan to . test all kinds Of trouble de-
veloped-
In Bar Harbor there were nine candidates
for postmaster. senator johnson insisted
THAI the democrats must hold primary and
choose . nominee for the ONCE. There are
only about 800 enrolled democrats in town.
and il . primary had been held it Is dou btful
il half that number would have attended. Bat
suppose 100 had come to the primary and
voted for their favorite candidate Every as
pirAnt for the office had some friends and in
fkeiy at aH heen nh
alike, twenty-ihree votes might have been a
plurality. Does any reasonable person think
that such an important Office IS this should
be 6iied in such . manner.
The leading democrats Of the town and q
most strennousiy to Senator johnson against
holding 3 primary. but 50 welded to his pet
plan was the senator that he kept . republic
recommended the only candidate who voted
in favor Of the primary.
Ellsworth, our next-door neighbor, is now
all stirred up over proposed primary, and
bad blood is developing which will work great
injury to the democratic party.
A primary was held in Dover last Saturday
to decide who should be the postmaster there.
Although the polls were kept open from 2 to
5 o'clock. only forty votes were cast. Moses
Ames receiving nineteen votes. Gilman Gould
twelve and John Aver nine. Bion b. Ander-
son, another candidate, refused to have his
name used in primary. Mr.. Ames may be
the best man for the Office, but nineteen votes
in q big town like Dover isn't very weighty
evidence to prove his claim.
This is only fair sample OF what is going
on all over Maine, minus details Of the rows

BAR HARBOR ODD FELLOWS.
Formal Dedication of Handsome
New Home of Island Lodge.

New Home of Island Lodge.
No more important or impressive event
in Maine Odd Fellow circles has hap
pened for years than the formal dedi-
cation OF the new lodge home OF Island
lodge at Bar Harbor last Thursday night
by the grand master Of Maine Odd Fell
lows, John E. Bunker, himself a member
of the lodge. Mr.. Bunker had the assist-
ance of nearly every member OF the grand
lodge. Guests were present from all
the various Odd Fellow and Rebekah
lodges Of the vicinity.
The impressive dedicatory ceremonies
began at p. m, and lasted about an
hour. The first step was the building of
an altar, and the symbolic stones were
brought in by the heralds in turn, first the
arge white base, representing Purity. then
the various colored stones representing
Friendship, Love, and Truth; then to
finish, the notices of the encampment,
Faith, Hope and Charity. These were
lain in place with appropriate ritual work,
some of the most dignified and impressive
ever seen here.
Then, in brief form, but every word of
it fraught with meaning, Grand Master
Bunker pronounced the hall dedicated to
the purposes for which it was built, and
handed back the keys to the noble grand.
The heraIds proclaimed from their various
stations the dedication, scattering in turn
pure water, fruitful seed, fire and flowers
throughout the lodge. Following prayer
by the grand chaplain, Rev. w. A. Rich
mond, Of Fort Fairfield, the ceremonies of
dedication were closed.
Following the ceremonies came speeches
from representatives Of Island lodge, Mt.
Desert encampment and Unison Rebekah
lodge, as we'll as from prominent visitors,
and an address by Grand Master Bunker.
A banquet was served at the close OF the
DR.. ). II. Patten, than whom
no man has done more to secure the COM
pletion Of the handsome new building,
