Could he really have been called upon in advance to take this his propounded side of our con troversy.

 In exultation over my opponents fanfasis I must exclaim: The Idea! Of course it is not new but decidedly an ancient one, that cannot stick in our days All fitting is done by un- conscious nature or by natural laws, those slow processes that cannot be duplicated by any consciousness, godly or not. The equilibrium of the universe for instance, is absolutely self-adjusting. A deity, big enough to watch the details of the infinite universe is practically unthinkabl'e. Man, homo sapiens,' the only con scious being that we know of, ac- knowledges willingly that job of that kind is too big for his earthly limitations Man is likewise the only being that can have any consciou,; purpose with any act of his, unless some of the higher animals possess such qualifications in lesser degree. do not mean giraffe, but man saving St Bernard. Scarcely how ever would my friend submit to this last chance to win by admitting to have been prepared by this admira ble animal for his specific and pur Ioseful station on earth. Consequently iif he does not, he must accept un conditional surrender on at leas1 two scores to his none in my favor That he will acknowledge to be dowr and out is out of the question.

 And now you might like to know whom I refer to; but in that line there is nothing doing We shall botl laugh, I can assure you after the controversy has been definitely set tied, and I have no doubt that the handshake and grips of the monkey wrench and the steel cog, often per formed before, will be as heartily and firmly indulged in now as any time in the past.

and make substantial improvements
to the present highway running
through Edegcomb, and thus accom-
modate travel to Boothbay Harbor
and the islands and give all through
least as per cent Of the total volume,
the benefit Of the shorter and safer
route.
This location has been studied by
federal engineers for several years
past and the engineers representing
the Bureau of Public Roads have
agreed that the state highway ought
to go by the direct route. This has
been submitted to the federal gov
eminent as a federal aid project and
1t has been approved by the govern
nient as a project. This would mean
that substantially one-half the cost
of construction would be borne by the
federal government, SO that the ex-
pense to the state of building the
short route would be practically no
more than the expense of making q
state highway on the present route.
and it will never be possible to make
a safe road on the present route with
any reasonable expenditure.
Everyone familiar with the loca-
ton knows that the road Is series
of curves and grades with liberal
amount of lodges. Due to the fact
that property is improved .on either
side Of the highway. 1t will be next
to impossible to make changes in
alignment or grade without the pay
ment Of very heavy damages.

State Highway
COmm.'s Stand on
Road Building
At EdgecOmb

When the State Highway Commits
sion submitted it's list of projects for
1924 at the last session Of the Cover
nor and Council. the question OF
building State Highway ID, in Edge
comb. a length of LOS miles, was taxi
en- up.
1t was ascertained that the project
favored by majority of the highway
commission was that for building a
new road from the end of the lang
bridge between Wiscasset and Davis
Island across Davis Island and an
arm of Sheepscot Bay to connect
with the west end OF the improved
road running from Edgecomb to
Damariscotta. In other words, this
project is what has been called the
Edgecomb cutoff.
This project, as indicated, is LOS
miles in length and would carry all
through traffic between Portland,
Brunswick. Bath. Rockland and Ban
gor points over comparatively
straight road one and enc half miles
shorter than the present circuitous
route across Davis Island Folly
Bridge and through North Edgecomb.
During the discussion the question
was asked by Gov. Baxter as to the
cost of improving the road on its
present location and the reply was
made that the estimate for doing this
work was about $4,000. 1t was also
brought out in the course of the dis
-ussion that without doubt the pres
ont highway through Edgecomb could
DC very much improved at an expen-
diture of possibly $4,000, so that
travel over the roads as at present To-
Gated would be decidedly more agree
able and comfortable than 1t is at the
present tine.
The highway commission voted
some time ago to build the cutoff

Our deeds are born of dreaming;
America Is today what little children
imagined in their play. Our histories
have been a recital of armed con-
flict. The books we have used de-
vote IS per cent of their pages to
the glory of war. and only rs per
cent to the development of our re-
sources and the progress of peace.
We dwelt upon the heroism of war
and the courage of the soldier. There
was q charm in those pages, and
many a time under the spell of a
brave spirit l was fired with the am
bition to become a soldier. The
boys of Lexington, Concord and
Bunker Hill challenged admiration.
The hercism of Nathan Hale, of
Molly Pitcher; the daring and
romance of Paul Jones; the courage
of Admiral Farragut and all the
others stirred enthusiasm and ad-
miration. The example Of men who
have given their lives for their coun-
try is inspiring and / would not de-
tract one iota from their glory. But
I hope we may not fail to hold up
before the coming citizens the ideal
of service and that there is romance
and fascination in serving our fell
low men.
Now while Europe is distraught,
while the world is wondering what
will happen, we are trying in America
to develop the psychology of peace.
Perhaps we need it less in America
than in any other country. Our peo-
pie are naturally peace-loving peo-
pie. We have followed the admoni-
ton of Shakespeare, Beware of en-
trance to a quarrel but being in
bear't that thine adversary shall be
aware of thee" We have never
violated Il treaty. We have never
knowingly abrogated agreements
with out national neighbors. Just
now the international tangles are in
herited from the great war which
has in all probability sowed the
seeds of discord for q hundred years.
Shall the time ever come when we
can forgive our debtors as we
would have them forgive us that
we may close up our books of dis
cord:
The Wish for Harmony
Perhaps it is fairer to say we are
striving to find a way for America
to help the nations of the earth to
forget strife. We are accused of
being idealistic and sometimes
other countries see in us Interior
| motives but America has no "aXes
to grind" America wants to live in
harmony with the nations of the
| earth. America realizes it's tremen-
dous power and influence among the
nations and wants to WELD that
power and influence like a godly man
will WELD his power and influence
for the good of his neighbors.
In July. Edward A. Box announced
his 100000 prize for the best plan
