Obadiah Gardner Of Rockland.
American chairman Of the Interna-
tional Boundary Commission. and
party recently made an automobile
trip through a part Of central Maine,
over which Mr.. Gardner is very en-
thusiastic. although he has seen
most Of the beauty spots of the
United States. The following ac-
count in the Rockland Courier
Gazette is well worth your time:
The itinerary was from Rockland
up to East Union over Quincy hill
and along the east side OF the
Georges river to North Appleton.
thence around over the west side or
the river to Searsmont village and
on to North Searsmont and Center
Montville. From Center Montville
they took the road to South Freedom
and turning to the right they went TO
the top of a high elevation from
which they found wonderful view.
In the clear air they could plainly
see all of the Rangeley Lakes, the
White Mountains and the salt water
all up and down the coast. Coming
down from the elevation they ran
out on the Belfast road about two
miles and taking another turn and
utilizing an abandoned road which
was partly grass grown they came
upon view which was ever Superior
to the other one that they had seen
just before entering Freedom. II
was necessary to make use CT another
little used road in getting down from
the elevation but it was we'll worth
the trouble.
From there they ran across onto
the main line of the Waterville and
Belfast road, swung to the left again.
going over several other elevations
and on to Brooks, thence 10 Morrill,
and Belfast, and taking Congress
street out of Belfast, came down on
the east side of Pitcher pond. strik-
ing the trunk line about a mile the
other side of Duck Trap and thence
down TO Camden and West Rockport
and home.
The two places where we got the
views of which l have spoken were
the most wonderful of anything OF
the sort that l have found in my
riding in New England" said Mr.
Gardner and he added that it would
lie well worth the while of summer
visitors and home people as well TO
try out this trip.

Same Old Prtense.

Maine. the pioneer prohibition State.
Is making tremendous fuss because
national laws compel her to actually so
we're aiaays ss ose tRe eoanfly
They were only occasionally enforced.
and then only for brief time. They
served year after year to furnish par
ties with a campaign issue. but they
did not prevent thirsty citizen or
stranger from getting all the drink he
wanted. The State was not able to
make herself go dry. but she ought not
to have the bad taste to get cross be-
tional drought. the same as the rest of
us.-Philadelphia Press.
When will some of our pipe dream
ing. and romance-swallowing neigh
bors of the big cities discover that
the stories Of T. NJ. Gilmore and the
wholesale booze men Of Massachu
sets describe the grievances of and
deal with only their own element
and that THAT element is not
Maine? Big city newspapers have
repeated the pretense Of the booze in
terests so often that they almost be-
lieve their own sophistry. Maine is
not making a fuss, but is nightly
pleased that at last the federal gov
eminent is no longer in league with
the rum crowd to violate Maine laws.
Maine resents the first lie in the
above quotation as she does the 9TH
ers. Maine WAS unable to enforce
her laws with all the booze makers
and sellers of the country and the
federal government conspiring to de-
feat every move for enforcement
But today Maine stands on an equal
footing with other states and laughs
at such falsehoods as the above
quoted. while plying the disposition
that inspires such utterances by an
otherwise reliable newspaper.

ever might be the desirability Of
treating the Covenant and the Treaty
proper a. separate matters, a. q
practical proposition this could not
be done and a majority Of senators
could not be mustered to effect the
separation. Even some senators who
would willingly vote to separate the
Covenant from the Treaty. point out
that the method of making reserva-
tons is much easier and simpler
quite apart from the question Of
whether a majority would be willing
to separate the two subjects.
AS is we'll known the reservations
which find most favor include one
refusing to consent to the tenth
article Of the Covenant, another
making it plain that the United
States can withdraw from the League
on two years notice without any
Ifs" or lands" about it, and another
preventing any interference in the
internal affairs Of the United States
toward purely American questions.
There is sentiment also for a reser-
walton of the most explicit sort on
the question Of manufactures so as to
make it completely out of the ques-
ton for any power but Congress to
say whether the United States shall
undertake to become the guardian
Tor another nation.
The gossip about the Presidents
attitude becoming conciliatory and
showing willingness to allow
changes in the Covenant, remains
gossip. The President in his initial
address upon the subject has shown
no disposition to modify the instru-
ment to meet the demands of OPP
ponents. He apparently has full
confidence that the people of the
United States are so strongly for the
trial Of a league as preparedness"
against war. that they will force the
Senate to ratify as received.
The acknowledged failure Of the
Knox resolution is encouraging to all
who have faith in the Covenant and
particularly to the President If
the opponents of the Covenant enter
their fire on Article Y the defence is
prepared with ammunition. 1t will
depend very largely upon the pro-
visions Of the article itself. of which
the opposition appears to remain in
strange ignorance.
For many reasons the period
through which the Senate is engaged
in the formal consideration Of the
Treaty and the Covenant will be one
Of intense concern. Notice has been
served from the White House that
the President intends to make
series Of speeches through the coun-
try for the purpose OF forcing the
ratification OF the Treaty including
the Covenant for the League Of Ma
tons without change. The ratifying
body is divided. We have reason to
believe about two to one for and
against the Covenant. Long weeks
are likely to pass in discussion before
the final vote. Meantime the Presi-
dents utterance of yesterday and
the speeches he has discovered in his
system, will be analysed by senators.
