The expense OF the preliminary survey
and estimate for the proposed Hancock
Sullivan bridge having been provided for
by State and town appropriations, the
next Legislature will be asked to make an
appropriation for construction. Back in
1921 bridge was erected, through the ef-
forts of Col. Paul D. Sargent, who fought
in the Revolution. This was carried away
by the ice in 1929 and never rebuilt. Col.
Sargent had but limited financial backing.
BY means of lottery scheme, with
tickets sold in many states besides Maine,
he succeeded in meeting most of the pay
ments ON time. The bridge itself was to
be the grand prize. 1t was well con-
structed, for that day, with draw to ad-
init OF the passage of vessels. The foun-
dations were hemlock logs sunk about 100
feet apart, with sharpened ends and piers
built above to resist the homecoming ice.
Cross work at the top secured the spans
and stringers, and the bridge was sub
stantial and practical AFFAIR. In the SOS
stonework was laid for another bridge,
but the ice carried it away before the
woodwork had been placed.

The Art OF Withholding Facts

Senator FAN is right in saying that the long awaited
report" of the state department on Mexican matters
is disappointing. But it idle to hope that the
administration would allow anything to become public
that might embarrass it in campaign year
Practically all of the information that would be
really informative is suppressed, matter of COURSE
incompatible with the public interest" to give out
any official or confidential reports bearing on Mexican
affairs or at variance with the official attitude of mind
and prejudiced opinion.
The list Of nearly 200 Americans killed on both
sides Of the border result, directly indirectly,
of revolutionary disturbances in Mexico renfOrces, in
way the previous statements of senator FALL ex-senator
Root and numerous others discussing Mexican affairs.
But it conveys little, if any, information. The
state department is amazingly careful to qualify the
grim facts in every possible way in the interest Of
Mexico and to weaken the American much as
possible
Judging from the condensed account of the report
as transmitted by wire much of it might be brief
of Mexico in her defence, rather than official
report of executive department Of the United States
government to the congress. There are commitments
made there that never should have been made express

roneous that will arise to plague us hereafter, and
to reduce destroy the effectiveness of any inter

Something like this which we have
imagined has taken place in our solar
system. Around the sun at greater
and greater distances are arranged
series Of planets. On one of these
planets we dwell. 1t is our hilltop,
and when we see on other celestial hills
other planets resembling ours we have
an instructive feeling that they, too,
were built for homes
But we perceive that some Of them
have fallen into ruin. There is one
on a nearby knoll the Moon. which
presents a terrible picture Of abandon
