Character is the hardest problem ia

tered down to cOmmonplaces. When
pleasure substitutes for obligation
character takes wings for the barrens
and the future collects scraps from the
husk heap. When willpower becomes
anemic it takes orders from environ
ment ana vies with others in contrib

1t was. however, Capt. John

mae and Kennebec rivers. This
they divided, Gorges taking the
northern section. Meanwhile
GOrges had sent over IA small col
ony to the mouth of the Kenne- !
bee. but this settlement was soon
abandoned. The first permanent
settlement was made in 1925 ut
what is now York. Massachu-
sets objected to Gorges' claim
and finally annexed all the terri
tory up 10 Casco Bay and called
this northern section the District !
OF Maine. Maine was dissatisfied
with the rule Of the mother state
and by 1920 succeeded in being
admitted to the Union as the
twenty-third state.
Maine was the first state TO
adopt prohibition. In the begin
ming Maine was strongly Demo-
cratic. 1t was largely for this
reason that she objected to be-
ing ruled by Massachusetts
which was Federalist. Since
1856. however, Maine has been
decidedly Republican. Ii has six
electoral votes for rcsident.
The name Maine was 50 desig-
mated in the charter of 1889 in
which Charles l granted this
land TO Gorges. II had already
been commonly used by the sail
ors as distinguishing the main
land from the many islands
along the shore. The nickname
for the state is the Pine Tree
State. It's area is 5000 square
miles, which is practically as
large as the combined area OF
the other five New England
