The winkin' stars at play:

The breeze sing on his way,
CaresSin all the purity leaves
Till they iluttered shyly-much

AT some mans lOyin touch.
I've watched the flowers drinkin' up
The fresh and early dew,
A-holdin' of it like cup
Till | got thirsty too.

With their tinkln' spell of song
Where the golden sunshine gladly CLEANS,
AS they dance their way along.

Mr.. ManIey's Letter.

A letter from Hon. J. Fl. Manley is
published elsewhere in this issue, in
which he very frankly states the rea-
sons that impel him to withdraw from
the gubernatorial contest. Mr.. Man.
ley's health has not been of the best
the past winter, and while it is now so
much improved that he has been able
for some weeks past to he back in his
office and transact business affairs, his
physician feels that he needs n period
of rest from business and political ac
tivities in order that he may have Il
complete and speedy restoration to his
old-time strength and vigor. After
careful consideration Mr.. Manley has
felt it due to himself and to his family
to act upon this advice. His many
friends will join in the hope that he
may speedily regain his full measure of
health and strength.
Both as Il business man and as a po-
litical leader Mr.. Manley has been Il
persistent and untiring worker. Few
men have possessed in a greater degree
the executive faculty, and the scope OF
his activities has been an EXCEPTIONAL
~ broad one. He has indeed led
strenuous life, and out of his busy
years has allowed himself little, if
any time, for rest or recreation.
For many years he was chairman of
the Republican state committee and
served through two Presidential cam
paigns as Il member Of the national
committee. He has served four terms
as a member Of the Maine House OF
Representatives and one term in the
Senate. During his last term in tn"
House he presided as Speaker over its
deliberations. His business interests
have been many and varied, bringing
him into close touch with the life of our
state in many different phases. Few
men have ever had 50 large a personal
acquaintance among the leading men
of Maine AMI few have ever possessed
III Il Sl''t''i ue5t'S 'i!t tlciitii VI III
sonal magnetism, that is SO powerful
in the formation of friendships and in
the imprnssmg of ones personality
upon those about him.
Mr.. Manley feelingly expresses his
gratitude to the friends who have sup
ported his candidacy and the earnest
hope that The Republican party may
continue in the future as it has in the
past to guide the destinies of our state.

Lessons from the Baltimore Fire.

The history of modern civilization
has repeatedly demonstrated the fact
that no lessons affecting the public well
fare are learned more slowly thah
those which pertain to ordinary pre-
cautions against ravages by fire. so
long as matters are going all right the
average citizen is apt to be very IN
different to the whole question, either
trusting to luck, or banking upon the
adequacy of his insurance. Let big
confiagration come, however, entailinS
heavy business losses, and lmmedlate-
~ public neutrality-suspicious. I'M
pervious to argument or appeals
stimulated to the boiling point. Every
one who can by any possibility be made
target for criticism comes M
mediately under fire. All this is. per-
haps, better than no arousing to the
Importance of the subject of adequate
fire projections; but it comes AT the
wrong time. A time of peace is the
proper time in which to prepare LOT
war, and so a season of comparative
immunity from fires is the best III
which to proyide necessary safeguards
against their ravages. There mas long
been an orinion that safety from fires
was chiefly a question of water supply
and pressure; but the public is graGu-
ally being educated up to the fact that
such protection is found primarily. in
proper methods of construction. Some
of the most common methods of guard
ing against fire in this way, We're clear
lv stated at the recent Board of Trade
banquet by Hon. George T. Macomber,
whose wide experience in the adjust
ment of fire losses specially qualified
him TO speak on this subject. Just now
fire experts are carefully considering
the lessons taught by the big Baltimore
fre-a most expensive test; but one
which has very clearly demonstrated Il
number of important facts.
In that fire the wooden buildings,
and those of old-faShioned construction
burned like finder. Buildings with
cast iron columns were disrupted by
the expansion of such columns under
heat: but the salvage on steel frame
buildings WILL in many instances, be as
high rs 20 ner cent.
1t is said that Baltimore would have
saved Il loss of sS0,OO0,0 900 if it had long
ago condemned and torn down the
buildings of old-fashioned construction
which were directly responsible for the
spread of the big conflagration. 1t is
evident that a more careful inspection
of building methods, and more gen.
eral condemnation of established fire
traps. will be enforced in the big cities
in years to come than has been the case
in the past. What the big cities do on
a large scale smaller ones should stand
ready to do upon a scale proportionate
to their size and the number of their
fire risks.

know how to meet the public courteous

man kindness in their compositions:
they love human fellowship. and radiate
some of the cheer that comes from :,
warm human interest. Olney indeed,

from her in past contests-in which
Maine has contributed fully as many as
