| Gov Arnold came 10 this country

wickshre. England Now. In that same
parish. stands a stone windmill very
| like the one at Newport. Later on.
after he had become governor OF the
territory in the new world, he natur-
| ally attempted to renew the likeness
of the tenderly remembered object or
his boyish delight.
| One More Exploded Dream.
When the governor called 1t my
stone-built windmill" he meant just
what he said-that IL was built and
owned by him, not built about the year
! 1000 by the Norsemen. but about 1870
by the chief magistrate OF the Plan
ltation of Rhode Island"
And so Longfellow must take back
seat. and all the glamour and ro-
! the Old Mill must take their place
among the exploded dreams Of the
imagination.
| And II is just as we'll that 1t Is so.
! Lief Ericsson and Verrazano were well
enough in their day. but did all wis
dom and virtue die with those old
rovers of the seas?
Give modern times and modern men
a chance. The old Is all right in its
way. but why decry the new?
Indeed, Is not the new, as a general
thing. the best?
This worship of antiquity is foolish
business. The best and grandest men
and times are those of the present.
The Norsemen were good fellows.
but the present-day Scandinavians arc
read and shoulders above their Viking
incestors in all really important
points.
Did not this same Longfellow, Of
blessed memory. also sing:
Trust no future, however pleasant:
Let the dead past bur yits dead;
| Act, act. in the living present.
Heart within, and God oerhead.
