Poets take a good deal of license.
For instance, Wordsworth, perhaps
more than any other poet an exponent
of nature, in his poem "a SparrOw's
Nest" says this:
Behold. within the leafy Shade
The bright blue eggs together laidl
I Now, it is. Of course. unfeeling to criti-
else such a great mans work and rid
die such a pretty sentiment, but the
bare facts are that sparrows rarely
ever build their nests in any leafy
shade and never under any circum-
stances lay bright blue eggs, their eggs
being a dirty notified drab. 1t is evil
dent that the poets muse had no re-
gard whatever for archaeological facts

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE FOURTH DISTRICT.
(WAteFVille MALL


We referred recently to the strength al
of ex. Governor Powers for a seat in Con
gress to uocsed Mr.. Boutelle. Contrma-
ton OF the opinion then expressed is fur
nished by the story of the Bangor caucus
es out OF which the ex-governor comes
with more delegates to his credit tnan
we're secured by MIR. Beal VINO would nat
uraIly be expected to take them all II he
was to be looked upon as candidate
with any hope whatever or winning the
district AS a matter OF fact there Is no
strong candidate against Mr.. Powers.
MIR. Beal has only a local record in pol
ttics, with nothing in that or In his gen.
eraI qualifications to mark him as a man
tit for Congressional honor. MIR. Hall is
known outside OF q very limited section
only as MIR. Boutelle's CLERK, and the
practice of eleoting Congressmen's clerks
Co succeed them on retirement, as In the
case OF Mr.. Reed and Congressman AL
len, is not one likely to commend itself
to Maine constituencies. There are many
strong men In the Fourth District who
would like to succeed Mr.. Boutelle but
they have RETAINED from entering con-
settled before 1t began. It Is too bad
that the voters OF the Fourth District
shouid apparently allow the possession
of great wealth and political astuteness
to count more than statesmanlike quality
in their choice OF a candidate, but IL Is
their own business and II they are will
ling to see their district made to suffer
IN comparison with the others OF the
state in respect to the quality OF it's Rep
resentative in Congress, It is their own
business.

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

Booker L. Washingt on s recent visit to
Richmond, Va, to address a notable
gathering of white and colored people in
the Academy OF Music, was in dramatic
contrast with his first trip to that city,
twenty five years ago, when as n pennl-
less boy was making his way from mis-
home in West Virginia to Hampton to get
an education. 10 the course OF his ad-
dress he asserted that 1.-THE whites hear
and see too much OF the negroes who are
in the penitentiary and the gutter, and
not enough OF those who are In business
and in school"
Until the German emperor was made

charge of a patriotic organization OF
women, the Michigan Chapter, Daugh-
tiers of the War of 1873. General Alexan-
der Macomp earned "a better reputation in
that war than many OF our military COM
<nsnders, but the country has long since
prac ticaily forgotten him. For mis- VIC
tory at PlattbRrg, Sept. IL, 1914, he was
commissioned major general In the
United Statse army, and received vote
or thanks and gold medal from Con-
gress. On the death OF General Brown In
1885, MRoomb was appointed general-in-
chief OF the army, and held that position
till his death in Washington in 1871.
There is no monument to MIN anywhere,
except that over his grave, in the old
Congressional burying ground. He was

soon be subscribed.
At memorial services held In honor of
Frances Il. Willard in the Jefferson Park
Presby terrain Church, Sunday, Mrs.

mildly criticized the methods pursued by
Carrie Nation In Kansas. She said:
Frances Willard was an optimist. She
was so gentle that the destruction OF
property never occurred TO her. II liquor

as in Kansas few weeks ago, 1t would
have been done solely by the order OF the
owner, had Frances Willard had charge

Inc request which the board OF trustees

awakening at last to the need OF a

complainant In that case was treated with

called before them. The denial OF the ex-
eoutive surgeon was generally accepted as
sufficient and largely on the strength OF
It the institution was declared indicated.
Unless some very positive and satisfactory
assurances are forthcoming that gen.
uine and impartial Investigation Will be
made OF complaints laid before them
now, with the single purpose of getting
at the truth, the trustees are not likely to

The Wisconsin House OF Representa-
tivss has just adopted a resolution oppos
ing the passage of the ship subsidy bill,
by large majority. Here is pretty
strong indication that this measure is not
popular outside OF the seaboard states
Wisconsin is very strong Republican
state, and It's interests are Identical With
the other states Of the Northwest,
Strong opposition in Wisconsin signifies
In all probability, therefore, strong cppo-
sition in that region which is one OF the
strongholds of Republicanism. The par
tlouIar ground of hostility stated IN the
Wisconsin resolution is an alleged ten
dency of the bill to help the great navi-
cation companies without, at the same
time, assisting small concerns to pro-
portional extent. But in all probability
the feeling that a subsidy to shipping
would be OF no direct benefit to interior
states had quite as much to do
with 1t. Before the Northwest
can be expected to warm up
to this measure it must be convinced
that It will at least get some adequate
indirect benefits from 1t, through a reduo-
ton in the rates of ocean carriage OF its
products. The advocates OF the measure
claim that that win be one of It's results,
but the farmers OF the Northwest do not
yet seem to be convinced on that point.
