Fear Jack London is Lost in the Pa
CifiC.

CHIC.
The editors of Woman's Home
Companion, for whom Jack London is
sailing around the world in his little
boat Shark, state that he Is now over
a month due at Tahiti of the Society
Islands, for which place he sailed
from Hilo, Hawaii, on October 9th.
The gas engine with which the
Shark is equipped was not working
well when Mr.. London left Hawaii,
and it is supposed by his publishers
that he has experienced some more
trouble with it, or that he has en-
countered the doldrums of the Paci-
flc, by which the little forty-five-foot
boat might be buffeted about for days
or weeks, to be dropped at length
into a sea dead calm. For such are
the equatorial doldrums.
London sailed from San Francis
co on May 4th and reached Hawaii
about a month later. He is accom-
panied on his voyage around the
world by his wife, captain, an en-
gineer, one sailor and two japanese
servants. London expects to spend
seven years on his voyage and to sail
completely around the world, stop
ping at interesting places wherever
he goes.

Gail Former Owosso Rector. rs

At meeting of the vestry of St.
Johns church last week the rector
announced that he had obtained the
consent of the Bishop of Chicago to
resign his present charge in order to
accept the rectorship of st. Paul's
church, Riverside, to which he has
been unanimously called. Mr..
Cooper, in the course of his address,
expressed his sincere appreciation OF
the many kindnesses he had received
from the people of st. Johns, and
the pleasant relationship which had
existed between himself and the ves-
airy and warmly thanked the members
shown him. He felt, however, that
after careful consideration of the
matter from various standpoints, his
duty was clear, and consequently re-
auested that early action be taken
upOn the resignation rendered, as h
wished to be settled and at work in
ais new field before the beginning of
Lent We have since learned that
the gestry has reluctantly and with
much regret complied with the rec
tors request, assuring him of the es-
TEEN and affection of the parish for
himself. Mrs. Cooper and family.
MIR. Cooper came from the diocese
of Michigan to st. Johns church
nearly two years ago, and has sue
seeded in bringing the parish to its
present prosperous and harmonious
condition, and since his resignation
has Become known there has been
genuine regret expressed not only by
esis Own parishioners, but through
out the community generally.
When Mr.. Cooper came to Chi
eago. che official diocesan paper con-
safned the following reference to
him:
REV. r. Octavius Cooper is a

His parents were both English, his
father being graduate Of Cam
bridge University and an honored
clergyman of the church of England.
The priesthood, the army and the
law have been the chosen professions

came to the United States something
aver eighteen years ago. Was rec
tor Of Emmanuel church, Detroit,
for nearly six years, also of st.
Marks Toledo, Ohio, for four years

Christ church. Owosso, in the do
'ccse OF Michigan where he has since
continued until accepting his pre-
sent charge of st. Johns church,

Riverside has long been recog
niged as one Of Chicago's most beau
4iful suburbs and the Episcopal
church has fine property, and in
cIudes in membership many of the.
city's most prominent professional
and business men. Mr.. Cooper will
leave Irving Park during the first
week in February.-The Jefferson

A GOOD WORD FOR MAINE.
Live in Maine.

Live in Maine.
You may discover a granite quarry
on YOUR land like that Cornville man,
or you may find diamond like those
occasionally reported from Maine hill
towns, or you may pick a three hun
dred dollar pearl out OF brook clam.
If you are not lucky in these respects,
why not raise $4,000 worth of potatoes
and wheat as they do in Aroostook? If
you don't like to work for what you
eat, why, they are catching pollock
with pitchforks at Popham.
Then somebody is liable to discover
an undeveloped water power and build
city in your back yard, or run an
electric railroad across your premises.
If you own any pasture land you can
put up canning plant and raise blue
berries.
Besides, it doesn't seem to be very
safe to live out of Maine. There might
be an earthquake. And thef's Okla
homa-or is it Texas?--under water,
and Mt. Aetna is spouting hot lava
over her confding neighbors. In
Curacao they have bubonic plague and
in New York they have nature fakirs.
The moral of all this is obvious. Live
in Maine where there is nothing more
dangerous than mosquitoes, summer
boarders, and the ghost of the Fish
That Got Away.-Lewiston Sun.

Is Prohibition in Maine q Failure!

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL:
In my letter of May 18th, asking each
reader of The Journal to send to me at
my country place, Stamford, Connectl-
cut a written answer to the question
| as Prohbi in Maine failure?" |
omitted to say that the facts obtained
| in nv investigation would be submitted
| for verification to a committee appoint
ed. if possible by the residents of Maine
who do me the honor to reply to my
question. A friend who publishes one
of the most widely circulated neWspa-
pers in Maine writes that replies to
questions similar to mine have been
SO perverted from their real intent that
our people are rather shy OF putting
themselves on paper.
That being the case it is important
that this inquiry should be made use
of to the fullest extent possible, for
the reason that the facts cannot be per-
verified in any way whatsoever. Before
the results of the inquiry are made
public | shah submit the evidence to
the committee. | would suggest as
one member of that committee Mrs.
Lillian NJ. n. Stevens of Portland,
President of the W. G. I. L., and, as
another member, Mr. Charles Il. Jones
of Chicago, Chairman of the Prohlbl-
ton National Committee. II these
two are acceptable three other mem
bers may be named by each reader OF
The Journal who replies to my CUES
ton.
If anyone can suggest a better plan
for insuring an unprecedented inquiry
and a verdict that shall be accepted as
conclusive ending of the controversy
over Prohibition in Maine | shall be
glad to have him write to me at STAN
ford, Connecticut.
