one year ago was a member of the staff
of the Montreal Herald A few months
after the poem was written it appeared
in the Montreal Herald over Mr. Cor

years ago that its author permitted me
to read the verses in the manuscript
wherein it bore the title of 'Meinself-

Herald it went the rounds of the ,ress
anonymously, and so often did it ap-

papers that Mr.. Gordon made collec-

Current Comment.
New National Issue,

From the Denver Post
me municipal ownership of all public
utilities has attained the dignity of Il ma
tlohal issue, as the question is agtated
throughout the land. The rights of the
pubic must be defended against the greed
OF corporate arrogance, and when in the
end the corporations will have to give
way TO the people they will have no one
10 blame but themselves for the result.
1t was under a mistaken policy that un-
conditional franchises We're granted here
tofore. and the time for correcting that
mistake has arrived. Corporations must
be put on the same level with private in
dlVlduais., and no longer must they be
permitted to receive anything without ad-
equate compensation for it.

HEN in doubt, lay the causes
w of this cold weather to the
sun spots. We haven't heard
much about these phenomena the last
two or three years, but it seems that
they are still doing business at the old
stand There is a Rochester, N. Y, sun
spotter who can predict the weather on
given day month in advance If
the weather doesn't come off according
to prophecy it is simply because the
sun spots get mixed To give the sci
entific explanation of the sun spotter:
"The outbreaks Of solar disturbances
are the unknown quantities in the svs-
tenn upon which these forecasts ere
founded. Such outbreaks alter condi-
tons, but in all long distance forecasts
such risks must be taken. The changes
incident to such outbreaks are not suf-
hcient in any one period to interfere
seriously with the accuracy of forecasts
for more than a few days. 1t will be
seen that this leaves the sun spotter an
opportunity to beat a graceful retreat
in case the consigned weather doesn't
reach its destination on time.

From the Springfield Mass. Republican.
Why is it that the American people to-
day have no outbursts of joy and pride
in victories Of the national arms in this
war in the Philippines? The reason is
clear to US all, partisans or critics, men,
bers of one party or the other, but fell
low citizens ALL We are ashamed of the
situation in which the republic has been
placed. 1t is time to call a halt. to get
our bearings. to exalt liberty and to pledge
freedom to all men as their birthright as
well as our own.

Talk That Shows Desperation.

From the Kansas City Times.
1t is getting to be quite fashionable for
expansion organs to call all opponents of
the colonial scheme TRAITORS 1t is to be
hoped that they will keep it up, for it
serves to emphasize the determination of
the administration to ride rough shod
over the people, If need be. to carry out
its expansion policy. Moreover, it shows
desperation on the part of the imperial
lists, which will deter a good many people
who let others do their thinking for them
from espousing lneir cause.

To be in the swim one must have one s
photograph taken by the new process,
which gives a raised surface like bas-re-
lief. For the lover who yearns to carry
his sweetheart's picture always with him
these new photos may be reduced to fit
into small focket.
The newest fad in these Iocket or watch
photos is to have a small magnifying
glass set into the cover, which when
opened releases the glass by means of a
spring and enlarges the portrait to a most
lifelke appearance.

this number three r married and
live IL this county.
