Mr.. Manley's Suggestions Respecting
Fort Western

Editor kennebec Journal:
Mr.. 0annett's offer to the city to
give, in memory of his late mother,
the money necessary to buy Fort
Western and the land opposite, and
to restore Fort Western to its origi-
nal condition is truly magnificent.
and comes with especial grace and
ntness from the great-great-great-
grandson OF James Howard the first
resident Of Fort Western. The wide
spread expressions of gratitude for
Mr.. Gannett's generosity and civic
pride are evidence that the city Will
at once take the steps necessary TO
avail itself of this great opportunity.
When this question is brought up for
action before the. municipal officers.
and before the Necessary statutory
proceedings are Instituted by them.
there should be considered the further
question of condemning and taking
the Riverside Hotel property, when
does not come within the original
bounds Of the Fort Western tract
and therefore is not included in Mr..
Gannetts gift All the land AMI
buildings on the river bank, west of
Bowman street. including the stables
and land which Mr.. Gannett's desires
to give to the city, are taxed on a
valuation Of 5000 which would ir-
dictate an approximate value of about
$4,000. for the Riverside Hotel prop
erty. Certainly the city can w,a af
ford to make that small expenditure
which would go SO far towards max-
ing respectable and decent the an
proach to the East side. The condi-
lions surrounding the City building
and the East end of Kennebec bridge
have long been a e: esore and an Of
fence. Mr.. Gannett has made Il
possible for the city to change them
ct comparatively small expense. Tho
words old Fort have long been
synonymous with Gerision and dis.
gust, but Mr.. Gannett now makes .
possible for the city to transform
them to Fort Western and fas n sus-
sestion) Howard Square, historic and
honored names. We shall never
have as good an opportunity to get
this Riverside Hotel property, which
1t Is believed. once belonged to tho
city. We must not let it slip.

tion of Lewis Cleaves. but ii will also
be used by the men and women Of
the neighborhood.
The building has been made posi-
Bile through the gifts Of the people
of the community. 1t will be located
on lot given to the community by
Sumner Packard. situated west Of
Lewis Cleaves residence, with a 40
foot front on the strAt and running
back to the railroad track. Mr..
Packard has shown fine community
spirit in giving the land and it will
be appreciated. The building will be
"a feet long and Is feet wide and 10
foot posted with ten foot porch in
front. The building will have a fine
fireplace built of field rock with the
chimney Of the same style. There
will be a 40-foot lawn in front.
There will be a supper at the East
Winthrop Baptist church Friday
night Of this week which will be for
the purpose of raising more money
for the Scout house. Up to the pres
ent time 5000 has already heer
raised for the building but as more
money will be needed it ia the plan
OF the committee to raise as much as
possible at the supper Friday night.
Work on the building has already
commenced and as the boys them
selves are doing a large pat of tho
work it Is safe to say that within a
months time it will be ready for
scout meetings.

The Treaty Situation
<nk YY.-rA


1t Is not wise to take too seriously
the threats and counser-threats IN
the controversy over the treaty OF
peace. Each side is sparring for po-
sition. Yesterdays action of the SEN
ate In defeating reservation 10.
against which the League to En-
force Peace properly made emphatic
protest, gives ground for hope that
saf,er counse,s will eventually pre-
vail on both sides Of the debate.
The President ought not to pigeon
hole the treaty. ana we doubt very
much II he will do SO. although MOTH
ing is more in accord with his own
method Of conducting a campaign
than to assert that he will have his
own way or tip over the applicant.
But he has yielded in other things.
and will be likely to do SO in this
instance
What an everlasting pity It is that
some strong hand cannot give guild
ance to a situation which in the bus
mess affairs Of the world would
readily admit of honorable adjust
ment! AS a nation we need Ieau..-
ship in our foreign affairs. a leader
ship which will transcend the petit
ness Of partisanship of the Presi-
dent on the one hand. and the con-
flicting groups of senatorial opinion
commingled with political and other
personal aspirations. on the other.
evolving a national policy which
shall be expressive of the will and
purpose OF the American people.
What an opportunity. May we no.
yet rise to it.

strong appeal along lines of religious
development much discussed the past
few years. Leaving to individual
choice questions Of form and sere-

united service and offers itself as the
medium through which all agencies
for good may work together in each
community. It looks at religion as a
