SWAP OLD FORTS FOR NEW

Whoever first limned the portrait
of our Uncle Sam evidently had in
mind certain of the characteristics
usually accorded to the traditional
Yankee. This appears to be some
what true to life, as he is now pro-
posing to sell some of his old his
toric forts and with the proceeds
procure new ones or improve on what
he already has.
Under recent act the Secretary
of War may determine what forth
fications are unnecessary and report
these to Congress for sale. This
has just been done in respect to
several included among which are:
Fort Wayne about which the city
Of Detroit has grown. Fort Hayes
In the city Of Columbus. o.. situated
on valuable real estate from sale
Of which the Government expects to
get tidy sum, and Camp Upton,
N. Y. which that State is said to be
DESTROYS of obtaining for State park
purposes.

LET'S HAVE 1T SETTLED

In the Journals Letter Box column
of Wednesday mornings paper Hon.
W. J. Thompson Of South China
succinctly asks what many undoubt-
eddy will regard very pertinent
question: SHALL the State of Maine
keep faith with its citizens" in re-
spect to the construction of Augusta
Belfast highway, Route 1902?
We believe he represents the SEN
timent of the residents along that
route. who have patiently waited for
State relief over the period of a
dozen years, over two successive
bond issues; who have promised to
cooperate ~ giving material gen.
erously. and who. no one may sue
cessfully show. are not deserving OF
the aid which they seek.
It would now seem incumbent on
the proponents Of the proposed Fed
eral highway straight to Somerville
to show that by means Of this these
the resident may by any practical
BILE plan receive such facilities fol
travel as they in justice should
receive: also to show that some OF
the most attractive scenery and sum-
mer resorts in this State may as
we'll be reached and accommodated
Certainly the proposed trunk line
will have nothing to offer the sum-
mer tourist in the way Of scenery.
Let's have this matter settled as
soon as possible. In all fairness that
should be done.
