tonight. First one society turned us down
and then another, and I do not know how
I many more told us that we were not
wanted, but the manager of our expe
ditions, Mr. James H. Howes, was not to
be easily discouraged, success crowned
his efforts, and we are here tonight; and
what is more, we are glad to he here, and
more still, we intend to make you people
glad we are here.
Now we of Belfast are always proud of
Brooks. It is with pleasure and satisfac
tion that we point to Brooks as one of the
most thriving and enterprising villages of
our county. We are here tonight to take
inspiration from your enterprise, to fur
ther and encourage that enterprise, and
to tender*our assistance wherever it may
be rendered.
We know well many of the people of
yourtown. Theirfaces are familiar ones
on our streets. Brooks is loyal to Bel
fast. We cannot express to you too
strongly the gloom and sadness which
fell upon all of us when a few years ago
the death of your late A. E. Chase came
over the wires. He was well known in
our city. A. E. Chase was one of the
salt of the earth; his word as good as his
bond, a friend to every one and loved
and admired by all who knew him.
We of Belfast recognize the interest
which you good people of Brooks take in
your own town and in the growth and
success of your own affairs. We do not
for a moment belittle that interest,
neither are we here to steal away your
trade; rath, r to urge you as patriotic
citizens to patronize vour own stores and
purchase from them everything possible
to be obtained. We know that if Brooks
grows in industries and trade, population
and agriculture, your town will become
a greater adjunct, ally and assistance to
our city.
Un tne other hand, it Beirast grows
correspondingly, it will become of greater
assistance to Brooks. Such a growth in
Belfast would be reflected in an increase
in value of every piece of property in
Brooks and in greater opportunity for
every citizen of Brooks.
Then why are we here? What are we
about? What is the ultimate object of
our aim? It is this: We are aiming
toward a general uplift and awakening
of the whole county and indirectly the
State itself. We are presenting for your
consideration the importance to us all, to
each town in the county, of a union of
all the towns and city for our mutuat
progress, growth and welfare; a league of
the same in sympathy and spirit; an as
sociation of all to promote thoughtfulness
one town toward the interests of another,
and mindfulness of our mutual affairs.
That which benefits one town works to
the benefit of all. That which pulls down
one town injures ail the other towns.
Man is born into this world, lives a life
of usefulness or uselessness, as the case
may be, and passes on into the great be
yond. Here we leave him; for I am not
here to preach a sermon or analyze the
future, but to deal with the present. As
I said, man lives a life of usefulness or
uselessness. The man who stands on
your street corner, neither seeking nor
desiring work, is about as useless a mem
ber of the animal kingdom as can be
imagined. And, too, the man who lives
wholly on the accumulation of his fathers
without adding thereto or bettering the
world therefrom is not much better than
the other fellow. We shall be known and
remembered by the imprint which we
make and leave on the sands of time.
The Waldo county of tomorrow will be
the imprint of the activities of the gen
eration of today. The future of Waldo
county depends on us of today, you and
me and each .one of us. Then what is
that future, that imprint to be? Are we
travelling forward, in a circle, or back
wares Certainly we are not standing
sti I, for that is contrary to the laws of
nature It has been said, ‘‘It may be of
iittle importance to determine where we
are, but it is of the utmost importance to
determine whither we are going. Set the
course aright.” It is of importance to us
! in Walds county first to determine where
we a:e, and then set the course aright.
Let us for a moment see where we are.
I submit to you people here tonight,
when the population of Waldo county
recedes 2,060 in population, when the
whole State has only 3 per cent, or 25,'flOO
more, and over 12,000 more abandoned
farms than ten years ago, surely some
thing is wrong somewhere, somehow
I was at a meeting recently of the
State Chamber of Commerce and Agri
cultural League, where the president of
this organization in his remarks said in
substance: “We boast of our great State,
of its natural resources, its natural sum
mer resorts, its fertile soil, its wonderful
water powers; we point to our State with
pride." “But," said he, “that is all
wrong. We should rather be ashamed of
our State, not of its natural advantages
and resources, but of the fact that we. as
citizens of this generation, have not made
more of them.” And he is surely right.
President-elect Harding said the other
day in his Texas speech, “Who dares to
prophecy in quaffing from the cup of
optimism what the future has in store?
One needs only to see this mystic valley
with its possibilities not yet touched to
see where prophecy falls short.” May
not this be equally applied to Maine?
Who dares to prophecy the future of
Maine? One needs but to see our un
touched resoul css to see where prophecy
falls short. He said Texas was ample for
an empire of 50,000, 00 of people. May
not Maine be ample for an empire of
many millions of people? He further
said, “1 like to think of an America
whose citizens are ever seeking the great
er development, enlarged resources and
the widened influence of the Republic.”
Do not we of Waldo county like to think
of a Waldo county whose citizens are
ever seeking the greater development,
enlarged resources, and the widened in
fluence of this county in the counsels and
activities of the State?
We expected to have with us tonight
the Secretary of the State Chamber of
Commerce and Industrial League, the
Dower behind the throne in that organ
ization, who would have told you many
interesting things regarding what this
society has done and purposes to do in
tne State. They are calling for $40,000
apportioned among the different counties
to carry on their work and Waldo Couniy
has agreed to contribute $600 of this
amount. Some of this, perhaps not a
large amount, should be contributed by
Brooks, for Brooks will benefit with the
rest of us in the expenditure of the
money.
One thing they expect to do is to dou- !
ble the population of Maine in the next
ten years. Wnat part then shall we of I
Waldo County play? What is to be done
here to correct the conditions that have
obtained? flow are we to increase our
population, industries, agriculture and
trade? Is there any reason why the pro
ducts from the farms of your town can
not be increased two, three and fourfold?
The land is surely here ready to give up
its wealth. This is for you people of
Brooks. Belfast can assist you, 1 ut
yours is the major work. Is there any
reason why the City of Belfast should
not be twice its present size? Certainly
its natural advantages for a City of much
larger proportions are not excelled. That
is lor the people of Belfast to do, the
gentlemen here to-night. You of Brooks
can assist us, but ours is the major work.
It cannot be done by sitting in the chim
ney corner after the day’s work and for
getting the tomorrow. We must think
and plan for the tomorrow, that its ac
complishments may be greater than
those of today. Tins is a large and wide
subject and I haven’t time tonight to en
ter into a further discussion of it. I am
passing it on for your thought and con- j
sideration.
There is, however, one factor gnawing
at the very vitals of our prosperity, to
which I wish to particularly call your
atteution—the mail order houses. They
assist in no way in our development; are
not interested therein; in fact, prefer that
we remain where we are and pay to them
a yearly tribute. Following with the
thought of Lincoln, when you send a dol
lar to a mail order house, the mail order
house has the money and you have the
goods, whatever they may be—you do
not know tntil you get them; but when
you pay that dollar to your local mer
chant you have Doth the goods and the
dollar in yovir town. Every dollar sent
to a mail order house carries with it a
certain percentage of profit. All profit
means additional capital. Additional

capita] means increased demand for la
bor. Increased demand for labor means
greater opportunity for all. Shall the
profit of that dollar, that additional capi
tal, that demand for labor be retained
and exercised in Brooks, or sacrificed to
Chicago or New York? Have you thought
of it in this way? Do the mail order
houses contribute to your taxation, or the
support of your town and county ex
penses?
When you think of sending to a mail
order house consider these things and
don’t do it, but take your catalogue to
your local merchant and give him an
opportunity to supply you the same or a
better thing at the same or a lesser price.
Again, for goods" which you cannot ob
tain from your local merchants, which
they cannot affo.d to carry for lack of
quantity of demand, come to Belfast,
your shire town, which claims and should
have your preference.
What we need in Waldo county is team
work, the pull-together spirit, and the
persistency exemplified by the crow.
I am informally instructed by the Bel
fast city government to call your atten
tion to oui public park, a little way below
the city on the shore, and invite you to
make it your park, to make it your stop
ping place for lunches on automobile
trips, or a drive-in place to enjoy the
grandeur and scenery of our harbor and
invigorating breezes from the shore.
Probably another year special accommo
dations will be provided there for your
convenience. Use it freely. We shall
hope to meet you there, mingle with you
there, and become better acquainted, that
we may be amalgamated into one uni
versal family of the county.
In closing I ask you to have faith in
your own State of Maine, your own
county of Waldo, your own town of
Brooks, the merchants of your county,
your fellow men, and above all your
selves.”

subject, “Aspiration.” Church school at

this hour, and parents are urged to co
operate with the superintendent, Mr.
Zenas Hartshorn, and the officers in mak
ing the school grow. The religious edu
cation of our young people is of vital
importance to the future of the nation.
The responsibility of seeing that our boys
and girls receive this religious instruction
devolves upon the parents. What sort of
an America is the America of the future
going to be? Is it to be a nation which
has cast aside all moral restraints and
lost its grip on God; or is it to remain
true to those great religious principles
whic^ have helped to make it great? It
is for the parents to dec de.
The Men’s Forum will meet on Sunday

will %peak on the subject: “The Real
Function of The Schools.” Let all the
men plan to be present. It will be worth
while.
The subject of the stereopticon lecture
next Sunday evening will be “In The
Great Smoky Mountains.” It is said
“One half the world does not know how
the other half lives.” Plan to be present
at this service and learn something of
the conditions under which people live in
other parts of this land. It will perhaps
be a revelation to you. A warm welcome
is assured.

be of the serious situations now con
fronting the people, both abroad and in
America. He closed with an earnest ap
peal that in these unstable times that his
hearers should hold fast to that which
was permanent, the word of God. That

forever. The service closed with bene
diction by Mr. Vaughan.
