The Loud bill was discussed informally
Wednesday afternoon and at length Thurs
day forenoon, and while it had its advocates
IN the representatives of Portland dailies
there was very decided majority agains t
the measure. President Burleigh, who was
in Washington at the time, told of the efforts
made by the Maine delegation to secure
amendments that would remove the objec-
tlonable features OF the bill, and of Mr.
Loud's refusal to accept any amendments
whatever. There was, therefore, but one
course for the Maine Press Association to
pursue, and by very decided majority it
| adopted a resolution disappearing of the
bill. The resolution is given elsewhere
Mr.. Hunter of Pennington summed up the
| matter in few words when be said that the
Loud bill if enacted and strictly enforced
would kill off seven-ejghths of the country
papers.

A motion was made, but was voted down,
to abolish the literary exercises which lave
been a feature of the annual meetings since
the Association was organized. The older
members in particular opposed this innova-
ton and Mr.. Owen spoke of the essays and
poems as the most interesting features of
the annual reports. This is certainly true
of the contributions of the late E. H Elwell,
who exceled in both prose and verse and
there essays by other members which
may be read to-day with both pleasure and
profit. As to poets thL problem is more
ditficnlt; but the Association seems to have
found poet laureate in Mr f. IL Colley,
whose muse is of the rlsibe provoking
order. and provides capital afterpiece to an
essay that may be practical or serious in
tone. At the meeting last week the essay
lst aud alternate failed to appear. and Mr.
Colley came to the rescue with the follow
ing poem which made decided hit:
AN EDITORIAL STRIKE.
Once in days that are vanished,
To a city by the sea
There came band of editors,
A goodly company.
And within the halls of justice
They laid aside their cares,
And sighed in sweet contentment
In the city fathers chairs.
For nearly two score years these men
OF courage, Drawn and brain.
Had held their meetings roundabout
The good old State of Maine,
And talked of advertising
And making subscribers pay,
AS farmers talk of ploughing
And "how to make hens lay
No carking care or thought of Ill
Oppressed these knights of pen,
And the world was full of music
Like the sound of grand amen,
And the earth seemed safe at her moorings
And wars were but jingoes fads,
And the scare heads in the dailies
Were but patent medicine ads
When 10, feeling of sadness
Fell on that joyous band,
AS if that swelling harmony
Were marred by ruthless hand.
And then an ominous whisper
Portentious of ill-luck,
Passed from one to another,
"Our essayists have struck"
Now when that goodly company
Their head with grief had bowed,
They lifted up their voices
In lamentation loud.
Anu heHHeDecS waves were CfOu Dleu
AS they beat on Halowell's shore,
And the pines in Aroostook's forests
Shook Houlton with their roar.
Then the wise men, hoary headed,
Sought TO soothe the troubled throng,
Talked to them of arbitration,
Argued earnestly and long,
For the poor half-paid essayists
And historians all about,
Feared unless there were concessions
That the poet would Ego OUT
But when the poet rose to sing
Then was the tumult stlled,
Entranced they listened to his song
Until their hearts were filled
With joy again. And with one voice
They cried in loud acclaim,
Blame not the essayists for this strike,
The tariff bills to blame"
The Republican journal., 1898-02-03

We agree with Mr.. Owen that the literary
exercises should be retained, supplemented
if you please by practical papers and dis
cussion, but did not like his sighting refer
ence to the county historian. We believe
the county histories to be the most valuable
feature of the annual reports, and that the
county historians should be induced to
attend faithfully to their duties. A few of
them do; but the majority do not. If new
paper is started, however brief its existence.
the fact should be noted, as we'll as enlarge
ments OF existing papers, change of manage
ment, etc. This will furnish the material
for the future historian OF the Maine Press.

Last evening Deputy S. 7.

E. and w. "A. Blocker, father and
son, from Sulphur, charged with
an assault on Andy Smith and
Tom Cragen, both WynnewoOd
men, who were attending the pic

fight seems to have occurred, and
during its progress Smith and
Cragen were cut with knife, the
man Smith, it is feared, fatally.
The Blockers had hearing be-

A Deserving Enterprise.

The firm of Deveny Bros, on
Caddo street, have just completed
a handsome ice wagon for the ice
company at Shawnee, Okla. 1t is
almost a duplicate of the large
wagon now in use in ArdmOre and
built by this same firm. The sat
isfaction derived from the use of
the wagon here was the cause OF
this second job, and it certainly
reflects great credit upon the build
ers. showing the superiority OF
their work over that of more wide
| ly known establishments of th'
kind in Oklahoma.

The Election.

Ardmore's first legal election
was in order today. From list
of thirty candidates nine were to
be elected The various candi-
dates were early astir, and the ma
jority of them had on their work
ing clothes. At the polls business
was transacted with CELEBRITY and
dispatch, and at the close of the
first hour few over 200 votes had
been polled. There was the usual
wire-pulling incident to all elec-
tiOns and the earnestness with
which candidates went to work
showed there was prize at stake.
Especially hot is the race for Mayor
and Marshal, in fact other offices
are for the time lost sight of so
strong does the battle of the ballots
rage on those two offices. The
| day has so far been free from all
/ incidents of troublesome nature,
due in a great measure to the or
ders issued by Judge Bradford
closing all hop ale joints.
Pain was plainly written on the
cOuntenances of many candidates
this morning. The trip up Salt
river was dreaded. though many
will make it. We predict fol
each of them a safe anchorage
however, as the buoys of hope arr
floating thick in the shoals of mis-
placed confidence. 1t will be som,
time in the night, or probably il
the morning, before the actual re
suit of the election can be aScer
; tained. Until that time minute
will drag heavy as hours on tn
subdued majority.
At 4:3O O'Clock this Afternoon
there had been 1890 votes cast
4, and as the polls will be open fo
three long hours yet, the tOts
T. vote will not fall much short c
!. 1900.
