The Flowers.

In a far, immortal morning-in the first
sweet dream of Spring
The flowers of all the gardens heard the
stars of Morning sing.
The glory of the story of the coming of
the Kingi
OF His footsteps on the hills
BY the holy wales and nils
And heard the aurcOlcd angels, In the
far clouds trumpetinG.
For His welcome" quoth the Flowers,
Tin the splendor of the light,
A coronal all kingly, OF roses red and
white,
The red for kingship with the King who
tramples down the Night
And the white. for Love that lives
That is wounded and forgives,-
A coronal-a coronal unutterabiy bright.
But the Roses answered. weeping: We
have thorns of wrath and pain
That wounded once the King white
brow, and SO would wound again,
Till its crystal would be crimsoned, as
with REDEEMED drops of rain:
But the Lilies, pure and white
The thoughts of God in Light,
Let them crown him-for the Lilies on
His dreaming breast have lain!
Then glory fell upon them, and peace
divinely sweet:
1.-The King, the King is coming! ana we
heard the worlds heart beat,
And the lilies read their litanies OF Love
before His feet!

This Weeks Great Convention.

This is the day for the opening of the
Repubican national convention in
Chicago, and there, for the past few
days. the Republican leaders have
been gathering from all parts of the
country to do the will of the people. In
many ways the convention will be
notable one. Never did the repre-
sentativcs of the great party meet in
national convention when they were so
thoroughly in accord as to the men to
be named and the work to be done. 1t is
more Of grand ratification meeting
than a convention, and the glorious
thing about it is that the gathering of
the American people at the polls next
November will also be Il ratification
meeting endorsing and approving its
will present and second the name of
President Roosevelt are IL guarantee
that the convention will be rich in
oratory. and it is a matter of pride to
us here in Maine that the first of the
speakers. the man to present the name
Mr.. Roosevelt, Is Il native of our own
State Ex-Governor Black of New York.
But although it is SO well understood
on all sides what will be done this
week, nevertheless the most intense in
terest will follow the proceedings of the
convention, and it's doings will be care
fully read by every intelligent citizen.
This interest is stimulated, moreover,
as there is an uncertainty as to the
no worry upon that score in view OF
the amount of splendid material from
which n selection can be made. Nor is
there any national uncasincss over the
platform which will be framed. Its
chief feature will be its endorsement of
the present administration. The work
and policies of that administration are
known to every man, and upon this
record the Republican party is willing
to go before the country in the coming
campaign. 1t is upon this record that
the fight of the campaign will mainly
be wagcd, and it is this record which
makes the results of next November an
assured Republican victory, as far as
anything which is to happen in the fu-
turc can possibly be called assured.

"The III.Gotten Riches of Rhodes"

One commencement orator INDUCES
in snecrs at the expense of those young
Americans who have won the Rhodes
scholarships and are going to Oxford.
He says they should be ashamed Of
themselves to accept the benefits of tile
''ill-gotten riches Of Cecil Rhodes"
Perhaps this commencement orator
means well, out if he gets to question:
ing the origin Of the money with which
a great part of the good is done in the
world, he will soon be Laundering i'll
libraries, hospitals or colleges whose
endowment funds are not more or less
tainted, and u great many sons and
daughters of rich people would have to
reject their inheritances if they took
this view of ill-gotten gains.
AS far as the Rhodes scholarships are
concerned, the recipients of them will
probably not get much in a strictly
educational way which they cannot
get dI NOME, lOr tile StttiludTu VI w
ford is no higher than that of our own
best colleges and universities, but they
will get the vast benefits of travel and
of experiences away from home and
amid surroundings rich in the scholarly
traditions of centuries. AS far as
Amcricanism is concerned, we believe
they will come home better American
citizens for their residence in England
and their study at oxford. Their
years abroad will give them breadth of
view and tolerance of spirit, and they
will not be the kind of men who would
be guilty of the petty narrowness eX-
hibited by the speaker referred to
above

You can see at Bowdoin many rooms

by the work of the men who call her

right to a foremost place among the
truly great colleges of our land. Bow

mission; she has not like certain large
universities, employed advertising
agencies to boom" her merits by the

education that would bring out the

a rich crank out in Illinois has just
established a college to which no stu
dent less than 60 years Of age will be
admitted. 1t is co-educational insti-
tuition and the co-eds will be under the
same age of restriction. The idea is to
allow those people who were deprived
of college advantages when young to
get them in their old age if they can
afford it, and where they can be by
themselves and not have to attend an
ordinary college or university for young
people where they would be out of har-
mony with their associations. 1t is a
rare day when somebody does not think
up some new wrinkle along educational
lines, but this seems to be the limit. 1t
is not stated what provisions have been
made for this colleges next fall foot

A German Landlords Mistake.

The landlords in Germany, as well as
strange IDEAS about their rights. Ac-
cording to a Berlin correspondent, who
claims to have the story straight, the
landlord of leading hotel in that
city sent in bills for beer to Miss Susan
Il. Anthony, Mrs. May Wright Sewall,
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait. Mrs. Gill
man, Mrs. Harper, DR.. Anna Shaw
and several other American leaders in
the International Congress of Women
who Were his guests. The women, of
course, had neither consumed nor o.
dered any of the stuff, as they are total
abstaincrs, and naturally protested
vchemcntly. 1t seems the Berlin idea
is that as long as the bar is there it
must be patronized by the guests and
they have been charged accordingly,
irrespective of sex or principles. If
bill Of mere men they would probably
have paid it with all meckncss, al
though they might have been total alb
staincrs they would have worried for
fear that the story would get out, but
these women were made of different
stuff. They not only refused with
much vigor to pay the bill, but they
carried their point and then Sprea d
broadcast the story of how the land
lord had imposed upon them. Berlin
landlords have yet something to learn
about American women.

Pcary's Plans for the Future.

The great explorer, Robert l.. Pcary,
In whose work Maine takes personal
interest and of whose achievements we
are vastly proud. is now spending the
storing up health and energy for the
great final effort which he proposes to
make to reach the North pole. No eX-
pIorer has ever chung to his purpose
with more persistency than Commander
Peary, and If he does not succeed in his
purpose it will be because no mortal
man in these times and under existing
circumstances can do what he seeks to
accomplish. No explorer has had
more experience and no one has actual
ly accomplished more in the North for
the advancement of science. He refus-
es to believe that the handicaps which
have brought him to standstill on his
previous voyages cannot be overcome,
and with the advantages of his past
successes and failures, he does not
question but that he can reach the
longed-for goal in his next attempt.
In a recent interview he says that the
objective point, which he proposes to
reach by vessel with the expedition
next year, is the north coast of Grant
Land, which is IS degrees north. or
within degree, II minutes of the limit
of his former progress by both vessel
and sledge. The prospect of success
depends upon the point at which the
start of the sledge journey may be
made, for that must be accomplished
between February and the end of May.
