of New England Needs

(Special to the Kennebec JournaD
Poland Springs, Oct. 7-Discussing
the topic. New England and What
Is the Matter With It, Waiter >.
Wyman of Augusta. president OF the

the close attention of the Rotarians
of the eighth district at the luncheon
at their annual conclave held here
this noon. Development OF foreign
trade and the electrifying of our rail-
roads and other industries We're men
toned by Mr.. Wyman as means by
which the prosperity of New England
might be advanced. -..*
After introduction touching on the
pleasure of speaking to the Rotary
Clubs in New England and particu-
larly at Poland Springs and COM
ments on the comparatively new
fashion Of having business men speak
at such occasions rather than men
particularly fitted for public speak
ing. Mr.. Wyman spoke of New Eng
land and what is the matter with 1t.
He told of his personal interest and
some incidents of his lifetime BUSH
ness in Maine and other parts of New
England.
He spoke of the tremendous COM
petition that is now being brought
to bear against our various indus
tries. such as lumber, cotton. paper.
shoes. etc. and said that even the
extreme South end Of Florida is now
competing with Maine as a summer
resort. He spoke of the regrettable
slump in population that has taken
place in our rural New England
towns and how the shoe. cotton and
nf hnt. i,,I t,.in l,n of oil
by competition.
been developed by individualism. by
the spirit of pioneering and the am
bition which actuated the early set
tiers and business men of later gen.
erationS. anC to some extent those
same causes are now working against
New England's interests. New fields
of activity are attracting the men
who might be devoting their energies
to building up their home towns. He
called attention to the fact that with
in circle of 500 miles radius. taking
Portland, Maine, as center. there
are more than 30,00O,O00 people and
that no other center in the country
has greater population except pos
sibly st. Louis
MIR. Wyman talked at some length
on the possibilities of foreign trade
development by New England on ac-
count of it's many good harbors and
extensive sea coast, and what might
be done to keep New England money
at home BY electrifying our railroads
and other. industries and supplying
the energy necessary to drive them
from water powers now running to
waste, thus saving large part of
the money now paid out by New
England for coal and other fuels.
AS an illustration of what might
be done by fixed determination to
accomplish something in New Eng.
land Mr.. Wyman told the story of
Roger Babson and his early struggle
to establish the Babson Statistical
organization and the Babson Insti-
tute at Wellesley Hills. Mass. He al
so told the story of the Rickers at
Poland Springs and of a farmer
formerly in the employ Of one of his
associates who. starting with a cap
ltal OF 500. and one bull calf %
years ago. is now prosperous farm
er with $4,000. of property around
him.
