Der 24th:
QUEEN OF THE FLEET.
Not very long has been the time, proud queen,
Ere on this spot thy timbers first were laid;
Yet who can know when the first thought was
born,
Which now at length thy glorious form has
made.
A very little thought thy life began,
In that far distant time of which we write.
Slowly it grew, fed by times fostering care
With all that strengthens thought and gives it
might;
Till like flower bursting into bloom,
Thy form majestic greets our wondering eyes;
Fashioned in lines of perfect strength and
grace,
Thy tall masts reaching upward to the skies.
Ever their eager fingers upward reach
Toward the calm stiffness of the upper air;
And catch the whispering voices on their way,
Voices of earth and heaven meeting there.
Meeting and mingling in song of praise
To- HIM VINO maze Lne odICH anu SKY anu sea,
A song which circles all the world around,
In softest strains of sweetest harmony
Proud queen! thou art old oceans promised
bride,
On alien earth thy feet reluctant stand
Strike off the letters that have power to bind!
Thy feet set free-shall spurn the hated land.
The waiting river stretches eager arms,
With eyes uplifted in expectant pride,
The form majestic gladly to receive,
And take to oceans heart his promised bride
He'll cradle you in gently swelling waves.
Where'ere on that blue wilderness you roam,
His arms of love will hold you safe from harm;
There. on old ocean s bosom is your home.
If Neptune, riding on the pillows crest,
His trident raise and swift in anger smite,
And stir the deep calm waters of the sea,
Till waves are mountains to your shrinking
sight,
Fear not-there is power that controls
That holds the tempest in his mighty hand,
Though fiercely all around the wild seas rage,
Quiet and peace shall be, at His command.
Proud queen--thou art impatient to be gone
To sail in freedom DER the waters wide.
Fair river take her to your willing arms
Old ocean waits to claim his lovely bride.

HOW WE GOVERN FILIPINOS.
MIR. Taft's Description of American Rule
in Orient

Ill OIient.
William H. Taft, in Everybody's Magazine
The Philippine commission among its
earliest acts enacted rigid civil service
law of general application. An act was
free high school system and for the i'm
ers. A provincial government act was
passed which provided for the election OF
the governors of provinces by the vote of
the conncilmen of the various municipali-
ties in the provinces. Contemporaneous-
ly Herewith law was enacted providing
for the organization of municipalities and
the election of presidents Tor mayors)
and councilmen by popular vote. The
commission also passed an act organizing
a judicial system composed OF Supreme
Court and courts Of first instance having
general jurisdiction, sufficient in number
promptly to administer justice. A de-
partment of justice was also created,
providing for the appointment OF an at,
tornev general, solicitor general, and
sufficient assistants, the attorney general
of the islands being the head of this de-
partment.'
At first it was necessary to utilize the
Americans in majority of the more i'm
portant positions of the various depart
ments of the government thus establish
ed. This was so because it was vital, in
order to be of any real benefit to the
Philippine people, to substitute largely
American methods and ideas for the
Spanish system which had heretofore
prevailed The undertaking policy of the
commission, however, has been, as fast
as vacancies occurred which could be fill
ed by Filipinos as we'll as by Americans,
to give the former the preference. AS a
result of this policy, today three mem
bers of the Supreme Court of the islands
are Filipinos The attorney general of
the islands is Filipino. Fully half OF
the Judges of the courts of first instance
are Filipinos The governors of provinces
and majority of the provincial boards
are Filipinos All Of the municipal Of
ficials and at least IS per cent of the Of
ficials and employees of the insular gov
eminent are Filipinos.
In addition to all this, the Congress OF
the United States, by act OF July |, 1872,
established government to take the
place of the commission created by the
President. This government was com
posed of the governor general.wlho was
the chief executive-the original com
mission, which was to be the upper house,
and Philippine assembly, elected by
popular vote Under this act more than
year ago the popular assembly was
elected and inaugurated by me, as Secre-
tary of War, in person. And this is the
government as it at present exists IN the
Philippine Islands.

WINTERPORTS PURE WATER.

AUGUSTA, Me-, October 49, 1908
LEWIS ATWOOD, Supt,
Winterport Water Co.
Dear Sir:
enclose the results of the analysis of the
sample of water from your public supply, sent
to me on the 18th inst
The analysis shows the water to be in first
class condition to be used for drinking purposes,
as it is free from all evidence of sewage pollu-
ton. The water is not as highly colored nor
does it contain as much dissolvent vegetable
material as it usually does at this time of year.
This is due to the small amount of surface wash
that has entered it during the dry fall. AS a
result the water differs practically none at all
from the sample which examined in the sum-
mer. Very truly yours,
H. D. EVANS Director.

Chicago, Ills, Mar. 3-While the
city, state and federal authorities put
plans on foot today to stamp out an.
archy in Chicago, the police depart.
ment pursued with new vigor it's
search through the haunts of the radi-
Gals in the Ghetto for anarchists who
might ave possible connection with
the attempted assassination of Chief
of Police Shippy yesterday.
The net results of police activity
during the day was the rounding up
of nine suspects. Three arrests, which
the police considered important, were
made in the afternoon.
A man who gave his name as Harry
Goldstein, and who is said to be the
agent of the Edelstadt society, an
anarchistic organization at 427 Union
street, was taken into custody while
distributing hand bills of rabid an.
archist nature. Two other suspects
whose names were withheld, were ar
rested and subjected to rigid exam
ination at the city hall.
A clew secured early in the day
led to the arrest of Isadore Maron,
who for a time was believed to be the

bush, sister of the dead man. This
was later decided to be not the case,
but Maron admitted sufficient asso-

to warrant his being placed in "a

Another clew led to the arrest of
VIM. H. Abramovitz, 20 years old, a
Russian Jew, a student at the uni
versity of Chicago night school, and
employed as printer in the day time.
Others under arrest were held more
because Of their afifiliation with an
archistic societies than from any ex
pectation of connecting them with the
attempted assassination of the po-
lice head.
An organized movement against an
archists by the department began with
conference at the home of Chief
Shippy, in which the mayor and AS
sistant Chief of Police Schuettler took
part. It resulted in meeting being
arranged for tomorrow at which May.

GR0NNA Fights
FOR FARMERS

(
Washington, D. C. March 3-Rep-
resentatives Of various chambers Of
commerce and grain handling asso-
Citations appeared today before the
house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce to oppose the
passage Of bills providing for uni
form classification of grain and for
export inspection by the federal gov
eminent.
Representative Gronna of North
Dakota spoke in favor Of the bills.
He said the grain growers Of the
west have little complaint to make
against local elevator men but they
suffered heavy loss from lack Of a
uniform system Of classification,
backed. by federal inspection. which
would guarantee fair grading Of
grains at terminal or export points
within the United States.
Mr.. Gronna presented letters and
resolutions from the London Corn
Trade association and continental
and International grain boards and
committees to the effect that Ameri-
can grain is being widely discrimi-
mated against by European buyers
on account of lack Of uniform and
dependable system Of grading.

the changes made seven were For

who were not reelected were all for

by local conditions. Every member
of the new committee is Taft man.
