German Prince Keenly
Questions Lisbon Reporters

Lisbon, May pap by MaiD-
The wife of the former Crown Prince
of Germany, Princess Cecelie, ac-
companied by two of her sons, Will
helm and Louis Ferdinand, passed
recently through this port on her
way to the Canary Islands where she
is to spend some of the summer
months.
The party endeavored to travel in
cognito on board the steamer Cap
Nord, but Louis Ferdinand, impatient
at being denied the freedom of the
ship. wandered out on deck one day
and gave the secret away. The party
occupied a suite of rooms on the up
per deck, and all the members of the
family kept much to themselves. This
confinement bored Prince Louis, and
he sought human contacts in the
smoking salon. He attracted consid-
cradle attention, and finally fellow
traveller approached him ard said:
How like you are to the second son
of the Crown Prince,"
II have been told this before" an
swered the young man, "but / must
say that can't see it myself, and the
idea does not please me, because
am a republican"
The princes questioner, a fervent
monarchist, potested and began to
praise the royal family, whereupon
the astute prince, who evidently had
been sounding iublic opinion, dis
closed his identity.
Thus the incognito was broken.
and after that the two boys mixed
freely with the other passengers.
Crowds of curious people lined the
Lisbon docks when the Cap Nord ar
rived. The German minister was

SPLENDID SPIRIT OF COOPER.
ALTON

Residents along the line of the Au-
gusta to Belfast highway have given
a splendid demonstration of the
spirit of cooperation.
Their offer freely to give to the
State of Maine under certain condi-
lions gravel and rocks sufficient for
the construction of the highway, ma
terial estimated to be worth more
than $4,000, is as one Of the MEM
bers of the Commission expressed it:
can unheard of proposition"
Had the Legislature, previous to
the last one, been able properly to
have continued the highway policy
the State might have been In funds
whereby it could take advantage OF
this offer. Possibly a way may now
be found to do this. Whatever comes
of it, those donors Of material are
entitled to the highest commenda-
ton for their public spirit. 1t shines
in contrast to instances, few we are
glad to believe, where residents have
overcharged the State for material
it had to have for their highway.

ON EXPLOITATION OF
EOlJNDLINGS

Statement is made that great num-
bers of foundlings are being sent out
from the large cities to the farms OF
the West and South. This would IN
yite the imagination to picture the
poor children taken from unwhole-
some surroundings to the wide open
spaces where the bloom of health
may replace the city pallor ana
nourishing food eaten with the zest
of healthy hunger may make them
strong. But this conception runs up
against another part of the state
ment to the effect that these chill
dren are being adopted by farmers
without scruple or sense Of obliga-
ton to childhood, who would make
of them little serfs in the fields.
If that be so-and the fact should
be determined-there is need of in
reference, but how go about IT..
someone asks. 1t is not easy to tell
just how, to lay out plans respecting
all the procedure, but surely this
country is not lacking for avenues
through which to direct public senti-
ment against this thing. There are
innumerable civic organizations
scattered up and down the land, each
of course with it's problems but yet
susceptible of further devotion:
there are many individuals who seem
to be devoted to crusading. Another
slogan need not embarass them;
practical effort might improve their
technique. Through these avenues
is it not possible to arouse and sus-
tain a public sentiment that will see
to the correction of this evil?

IT don't know how to thank you"

way, in a day or two, and then I'll

ny. "Id rather you'd send barrel
of lollypops to the orphan asylum in

children have SO little happiness.

ONLY ONE WAY TO DO 1T

Of the 25 Republican senatorships
to be submitted to popular vote In
November, 1926, there are probable
tiles of lively contests in twelve OF
these, whereas the Democratic seats
to be filled are now regarded as
safe for the Democrats, although a
lot may happen in eighteen months.
Outside those whose intimate con-
Germ it Is to build up the Democratic
organization we doubt whether there
are many Democrats who in their
hearts would not like to see the poll
cies Of President Coolidge applied to
governmental affairs and fairly tried
out. But how may this be done?
Surely not by electing Democrats to
Congress, nor those who style them
selves Republicans on election day
and for the rest of the time gang
their own gait.
1t is none too early for those who
would have the President sustained
to begin efforts to assure him sup
port, to nullify the schemes of OPP
ponents and bloc buccaneers. There
must be effort in perfecting the Re
publican organization. as that is the
medium through which the support
must come. And while we are about
1t 1t may help to remind the voters
of the necessity. of respect to party
obligations If we would be served by
competent team work instead of suf-
fering from confusion worse con-
founded.
