Unguarded Gates.

Wide open and unguar ed stand our gates.
Named of the four winds, North, South East
and West:
Portals that lead to an enchanted land
Of cities, forests. fields of living gold' 81.
Vast prairies, lordly SUBMITS touched WITH
snow,
Majestic rivers sweeping proudly past
The Arabs date palm and the Norsehah
pine
A realm wherein are fruits of every zone
Airs of all cmes, for 10 throughout inc year
The red rose blossoms somew here-a ilch
land
later Eden planted in the wilds.
With not an inch of earth within its bound
But if a slaves foot press it sets him Tree!
Here it is written, Toll shall have its wage,
And Honor, honor, and the humblest man
Star level W III the h CHEST in the law, -
Ofsuch land have mef in dungeons dreamed
And with the vision Frightening IN their eyes
Gone smiling to the iagot and the sword
Wide open and unguarded stand GU, gates
And through them presses Wild notiey
Men from the Volga and the Tartar steppes,
FeaturceSs figures of the HoanG no.
Malayan, Scythian, TeutOn, kclt ana SlaV,
Flying the Olo Worlds poverty and scorn;
These bringing with them unknown Soas
and rites,
Those, tiger passions. here to STREET their
claws.
In street and alley W hat strange tongues are
these
Accents of menace alien to our air,
Voices that once the Tower Of Babel knew!
0 Liberty. white Goddess! is it well
To leave the gates unguarded? On thy breast
Fold Sorrow wis children, soothe the hurts OF
fate,
Lift TIE dOWH-trodden, but with hand OF steel
Stay those who to thy sacred portals come
To waste the gifts of freedom. Have care
Lest ON thy brow the clustered stars be
torn,
And trampled in the dust. For so of old
The thronging Goth and Vandai trampled
Rome,
And where the temples of the Caesars stood
The lean wolf unmo lested made her lair.

A Strong Protest against the Refer
endum.

The action of the chronic rumsellerS,
men who have for years pr1ded them
selves on their ability to defy the law and
enrich themselves violating the prohlbl.
tory law. now brazenly and dehantly
throwing open the bars before the new
goes into effect, is evidence OF their pur
pose to monopolize or control the busl-
ness in the event OF the laws acceptance
by the people, and in my Judgment will
drive thousands of the friends OF local
option to oppose the measure as they
are not the class OF men that good clti-
zens wish to see hold licenses. Men who
have made it their business to violate
the prohibitory law and who have MADE
fortunes in that business will disregard
the wholesome provision OF license law
with the same IMMUNITY il they can make
money by so doing. - From F. W. McGet-
trick S Interview in st. Adams Messenger.
No one who knows him will for mo-
ment doubt Mr.. McGettrck's sincerity
in his statement OF fact. When Mr.. Nc
Gettrck spoke these words he had st.

This is not a political question and party
lines cannot and will not be drawn. Mr.
McGettrick is not the only man, proml-
nent in the counsels of the democratic
party who has stepped from under and
washed his hands OF this open saloon
measure. Mr.. MCGettriCk already see S

and operations of The proposed law.

Kerosene as Fuel.

It is a convenient, but costly substitute
for solid fuels. Pound for pound, ker-
osene at fourteen cents the gallon or two
cents the pound is about four times the

and thtnts supply is limited and variable
About 60 600 600 barrels OF crude petro-
leum, weighing not far from 5000 900
tons was the total American product tor

coal OF all kinds in America was nearly
$50 600 900 tons in the same year.
About forty per cent OF American ker'
osene is exported to foreign countries, so
that less than 40 100000 barrels, or les,
than 100000 tons remain in America

Great Events of the Year.

The Year of our Lord 1902. has not
been very remark able for exciting events;
nevertheless it has been year OF o1stinc-
ton and achievement. Americans at
least may well be proud of the part their
country has PLAYED and is about to play
in the march of civilization. 1902 has
been year rich in promise for the future,
and the knees OF the gods are heavy with
the machinery of things to be. lie
Western Hemisphere is doomed to
be cut in twain and the waters
of the Eastern and Western seas
are to flow across the 1sthmus. Two
cables are to be laid across the floor OF
the Pacific to complete the electric glrdle
OF the earth. Two new transcontInental
routes for the iron horse will throw optn
to traffic and tourist the arid steppSs of
Asia and vast prairies OF North America.
The Harvesting OF the Nile will transform
the Egy ptian desert into a fertile land
Man has learned to hy-at any rate he
has invented a mechanical HippOgritf
which serves the purpose-to telegraph
without wires, and to travel under the
water. The year has witnt s;ed the
humiliation OF ancient China by the
leagued nations of civilization and has
seen the termination OF two devastating
wars--in the Philippines and South
Africa. The largest steamship in the
world has been launched; arbitration
has superse ded the sword and the dyna-
mite cartridge in International and IL
te1necine disputes, and newt If somewhat
erratic republic has been born in the Carb-
bean Sea. The world has suffered strange
calamties too. Vast volcanic eruptions
on the Equator have wiped out cities,
and the tale of minor events is long
