How could il be- too long,
When morn and eve and night and nocn

When every bough sends forth a TN.
And every passing ray

Not only bides the peerless grace

Who would the lavish gifts may trace
Through every lonely glen
As if the Giver fain would place
The banquet everywhere
TO glad each weary wanderers face
With Omedhing bright and fair
Man makes twixt walls a glittering show
And coin for toll q. MINDS,
And from the false ana fcVrTed glow
Come empty hearts and hands
True wisdom have we garnered? Mo-
Naught save the art to cheat;
From Natures trancing stage we 90
With memories fond and sweet
The fancics that We find and keep.
The echoes that we list.
Dear springs Of joy, soul treasures deep
Shall comfort when artist.
Yea though we SOW not yet We reap
As blossoms gain the dew,
And if we wake or if We sleep
Kind dreams the strength renew
June's gifts we know not-for the eyes.
Her largess-f0r the ears;
We know I will be a glad surprise
Whatever boon appears:
While Art her subtle magic plies
She often leaves strain,
But Natures joyous notes and dyes
Are pure as Summer rain.

Bishop Potter in returning from a
visit to England, tells the interviewers
that he thinks that there is a lot of
"gush" in all this talk Of friendly re-
lations between the United States and
Great Britain and that there is really
mo love lost" between the two coun-
tries Perhaps he is fright. and still,
as International relations go. probably
no two countries in the world are on
better terms or stand a better chance of
remaining so than this country and
Great Britain. There may be no love
lost. but it is certain that the two
countries are on a most amicable basis
and probably more so than ever be-
fore. and that they have absolute
respect and good feeling toward each
other. No doubt the "gush" business
Is occasionally overdone at diplomatic
banauets and similar occasions. as the
bishop says, but that certainly does not
do any harm and pleases those who do
the gushing.

The arrival in this country Of 300
600. 900 firecrackers of various sorts and
sizes makes the prospect of a safe and
sane celebration Of the Fourth seem
very remote. Many good people will
wish that the ship bringing such a
cargo had blown up during the pas
sage. To be sure, such thing would
have involved the loss of many lives.
but probably fewer would have been
sacrificed than will be when the fire
crackers are used upon the Fouth. and
there would have been great saving
to the nerves of millions Of people. A
reformed Fourth Of July may come
along sometime in the future. but 1t is
one Of those reforms that we must
wait for with patience. In some cities
there has been an advance towards it in
recent years, but in most places the
celebration Of the day Is about as bad
as it possibly could be. T.,

San Francisco Without Saloons.

One Of the best temperance and pro-
hibition arguments advanced for a long
time is given the world by the city of
San Francisco which has made the
amazing discovery since the fire and
| earthquake that it can get along very
nicely without saloons. Under the
once throughout the stricken city, and
which the citizens have repeatedly
protested that they want to continue as
long as possible, every place in the city
where liquor was sold was at once
closed and has since remained closed.
Through all these days and weeks
nothing Intoxicating has been sold In
San Francisco. and nothing That the
army authorities did towards protect
ing the city and it's people was so ef-
fective as their decree that no liquor
should be sold in the city. This clos
ing Of the saloons was most severe
blow to the criminal classes OF the city
ana prevented hoodlumism. looting and
disturbance as nothing else could have
done.
San Francisco will not remain per-
manently under the government of the
army officers, but it is already well as
sured that when it resumes the gov
eminent of itself and becomes itself
again. it is going to enforce very
different saloon system than it used to
have. The new San Francisco will
differ from the old in many respects,
and in nothing more than in this
respect. 1t has been determined that
the saloon license which used to be $50
will cost $500, and with such an in
crease in licenses. il is certain that
there will be a great decrease in the
number of saloons, and that there will
be much closer restriction and super
vision. San Francisco's saloons and
San Francisco's gaiety had been IA
much of the gaiety was alcoholic. No
doubt the new San Francisco will be
more grave and businesslike than the
old one. San Franciscos experiences
may well be a lesson to other cities.
The friends of free rum will find all this
very disastrous to their pet theories.

Much interest has been aroused in
Maine intercollegiate athletic circles
by the unanimous action of the Bates
students in refusing to endorse the
resolutions introduced ut a recent
meeting of the intercollegiate arbitra-
ton board. Says a Lewiston news
paper; This is an important action
on the part of Bates college and prac-
tically settles question that has
caused controversy for some time
among the Maine colleges. and
has threatened the severance of ath-
letic relations between BowdOin and
the other three. These resolutions,
which were turned down by Bates,
were drawn up at the instigatiOn Of
the University of Maine. and to all
intents and purposes are aimed at
Bowdoin with the intention of forcing
her into an agreement with the other
Maine colleges to allow the eligibility
of her players to be decided upon by
a board of arbitration. Bowdoin has
always strenuously declined to enter
into any such agreement, maintaining
that the right to pass upon eligibility
of any player rests with her alone.
and to the credit of Bowdoin it must
be said that her rules are efficient and
effective and that her standard of eli
gibility is as high as that of any other
college. Even Maine has to admit
Bowdoin lives up to her rules. The
action of Bates means practically that
the matter will drop where it is.
Maine has adopted the resolutions,
N ha vat fob In,
the chances are that she will reject
them. However, with Bowdoin and
Bates against their adoption the eff
feet will be to kill the resolutions for
to make them effective they would
need to be adopted by three of the col
leges. Bates action was partially one
of self preservation. 1t is known that
Bowdoin would be drawn into no such
agreement as the resolutions express,
and to sever athletic relations with
that college means financial disaster
to the Bates association. Besides that
it is recognized that Bowdoin'S athletics
are clean. and since Bates relations
with Bowdoin are good, and continu-
ally growing better. and since it was
regarded as unlikely that the adoption
of those resolutions would bring about
any special betterment to college ath-
letics in Maine, by vote of the asSo-
citation they were rejected. This action
is believed by most to be a wise one,
for even those who favor the princi-
pies of the resolutions, realize that to
adopt them at the present time will
only cause rupture among Maine col
leges and cause more harm than
good"

The Doomed City By the Sea.

We give a portion of our local space
to items concerning San Francisco, that
a few days ago was a hourishing city
Of 500, 900 inhabitants, and to-day is
practically wiped out of existence. The
assessed value Of the city was about
500, 900, 900, more than one half of which
is totally destroyed Nearly and perhaps
more than one half the population are
homeless and hungry. OF the number
of lives lost nothing like correct estim-
ate can be given. Some saw 1000.
Others 10000. The exact number will
never be known.
The dead were piled in the streets,
the wounded placed in buildings thought
to be beyond the reach Of the flames.
But as the wave Of fire swept onward
toward the hills the dead and wounded
were picked up and carried IN the arms
of soldiers and citizens and laid on the
ground, to be again carried farther up
to the higher ground as the flames a..
vanced, until they finally found r4st-
ing place on the green sward at Golden
Gate Park.
The hills back Of the city between it
and the sea are to-day covered with
thousands of homeless anj pc n 'es suf-
lerers who are without toOu or the
means to purchase it fit was in the
city. Most of these are women and
children, as nearly every man is either
a volunteer worker or has been pressed
into the service by the authorities.
An earthquake, and the city was DOOM
ed, baptism Of fire, and her destruc-
ton is complete Our nation weeps
and the civilized world mourns because
of this appalling calamity.
