AVERAGE OF ONE PERMIT

November, 1918. building permits
issued from the office OF the build
ing inspector amounted to S26.jS5.
This figure. officials say is the low
est mark reached in the last ten
years, since June. 1910, when the
permits FOR that month ran to SEA

With removal OF governmental re-

MAINE ROADS.

Maine roads are from three to four
suit of weather conditions last winter and
this spring. Ordinarily at this season of
the year the majority of the roads of the
State, outside of the improved roads and
those in the immediate vicinity of large
centers of population, are almost impas-
sable
This year, however, practically all of
the main thoroughfares of traffic, as well
as the majority of the principal cross
roads, are perfectly safe for automobile
| traffic.
Of course, as yet, very little road work
/ has been done, as the early spring found
the local town patrolmen quite unprepar-
ed. This situation, however, is being
rapidly remedied and many of the towns
have started on their spring repairs and
dragging.
With-the State Highway Department
the situation is different as its patrolmen
have been on the State highways for
several weeks, and they are rapidly being
brought back into summer condition.
The main highway between Boston
and Portland is now i'll excellent condl-
ton. The State highways along the
coast to Rockland and Bangor, as well as
through Central Maine to Lewiston, All
gusta and Waterville, are also perfectly
passabe The local roads to the Sebago
Lake regions, where the famous fishing
season is now just beginning, are also In
splendid shape for this season OF the
year.
The touring season in Maine will be
the earliest on record. Never before in
the month of April have SO many auto
mobile licenses been issued as this year.

THE CHEMISTRY OF CHARACTER.
First published long ago.l

First published long agol
John and Peter and Robert and Paul,
God in his wisdom created them all;
John was statesman and Peter slave,
Robert preacher and Paul-was a
knave.
Evil or good, as the case might be,
White or colored, or bond or free
John and Peter and Robert and Paul,
God in his wisdom created them ALL
Out of earth's elements mingled with
flame,
Out of life's compound of glory and
shame,
Fashioned and shaped by no will of their
own,
And helplessly into life's history thrown;
Born by the law that compels men to be,
Born to conditions they could not FORE
see,
John and Peter and Robert and Paul,
God in his wisdom created them all.
John was the head and the heart of his
State,
Was trusted and honored, was noble and
Peter was made meath life's burdens to
groan,
And never once dreamed that his soul
was his own;
Robert great honor and glory received,
For zealously preaching what no one be-
lieved,
While Paul of the pleasures of sin took
his fill,
And gave up his life in the service of i'll.
1t CHANGED that these men in their pass
ing away
From earth and its conflicts, all died the
same day;
John was mourned through the length
and the breadth of the land,
Peter tell meath the lash in merclless
hand;
Robert died with the name of the Lord on
his tongue,
While Paul was convicted of murder, and
hung,
John and Peter and Robert and Paul,
The purpose of life was fulfilled in them
all.
Men said of the statesman: 'How noble
and bravev'
But of Peter, alas!-"Heis only slave!'
Of Robert: '"Tis we'll with his soul, it is
WE'LL"
While Paul they consigned to the tor
ments of hell
Born by one law, through all nature the
same,
What made them different, and who was
to blame?

God in his wisdom created them all.

CURRENT COMMENT,
The Warsaw Slave Market.


There appeared recently ON the walls of
Warsaw the following proclamation:
"The Government suggests that moth
ers having children should send them to
Germany to be brought up and educated
Mothers who are willing to make this ar
rangement will receive the sum of $50
marks for boy and 100 marks for girl.
No other aid will be given"
The proclamation was signed by Cover
nor General Won Beseler.
Germany is suffering from huge drain
age in population. The death rate far ex-
ceeds the birth rate, the former having
risen tremendously and the latter declin-
ed in alarming proportion. This explains
the brutal bid to Polish motherhood for
its children.
A bow is worth so marks more than
girl to Germany, because boy can be
made soldier in time, while girl can
be only mother. The cool commercial
ism OF this discrimination in price stamps
the plan for what it is-a shameless
traffic in human flesh Our only wonder
is that flat rate should be offered rather
than one based ON weight, physical con-
dition and age.
Note the cruel lash of the final SEN
tence: "No other aid will be given: In
plain words, eff you will not sell your
children, then you and they may starve
to DEATH"
This is Germany.-Chicago Evening
Post
