London's Dock Strike.

The other day announcement came
from London that q strike Of dock labor
ers in that city had been adjusted
through an increase in wages granted to
the men, and fears. about possible food
shortage were allayed. Now comes word
that the strike has been renewed, other
trades than the dockers themselves having
been encouraged by the success OF that
class to demand higher wages. Nearly
fifty thousand men employed in handling
goods imported by sea to London are
consequently idle. and London Is al
ready feeling the effect In a lessening OF
the food supply, which at best is good Tor
only a week IL not renewed.
This strike Is of sinister significance.
The lockers and their allied trades of
London are shockingly Ill paid. Owing
to the introduction of machinery on the
docks employment Is given to only about
one-half the number Of men formerly
used in handling freight. with q conse-
Quent oyersupply In the labor market
and a falling of prices under competition.
Some Of the large companies owning
docks maintain permanent forces and
guarantee continuous employment to q
certain percentage of their men, but the
average wage, with all idleness included
in the reckoning, Is something less than
a pound a week. The docker who is not
on a permanent ROLAND he Is largely
in the majority-must look to other en-
ployments between jobs on the docks,
with the chance Of losing dock job
while looking for another. The labor
exchanges organised by the government
recently have helped somewhat In pre-

losing labor chances. but there is little

And now it appears that after a
time Mr.. Williams cooled off. The man
of Lincoln no longer filled the eye and
heart Of the man of Dedham. What
caused 1t? Did Mr.. Williams return
to his first love. the gold standard?
Or was he unable to follow Mr.. Bryan

But the separation seems not to have
affected Mr.. Bryans appreciation of

man of Lincoln last month. the name

not have included Mr.. Williams had he

The Post Office Pen.

How few are the years and how swiftly
they go
And how many the changes we see
In the places so dear that we once used
to know
When youth was so buoyantly free!
The buildings so quaint in the old-fashion-
ed street
Have vanished, and so have the men,
And you sigh, as intending your home
folks to greet,
You pick up the post ONCE pen.
'Tis ink-stained and splintered. One end Is
all frayed
Where teeth have been pensively closed.
It shows the same patches of rust it dis
played
When of yore on the desk 1t reposed.
It scatters the ink and plows into the
page
And it squeaks the old tune once again
That you heard as a lad when you came
to engage
The aid of the post Office pen.
A welcoming thrill surges warm through
each vein.
The landmarks have all passed away.
The hum Of the trolley, the shrek OF the
train
Have drowned the old summertime lay
OF the birds and the bees in the meadow
nearby.
All, life was all different then.
And cannot restrain an affectionate sigh
As gaze on the post Office pen.

William Pierce FRYE.

Not with surprise but with keenest re-
gret, will the country hear the news of
Senator Fryes death. Able, accomplish
ed, incorruptibIe and patriotic; loyal in
all the relations Of life: diligent In pur-
suit of good ends: untiring as public
servant in forwarding and guarding the
interests not only of his own state, but
all the states, William Pierce Frye early
won and long held the confidence and ad-
miration of men of all parties He failed
at no point He succeeded in a con-
spicuous way at all points. For years he
was leader in a body and from sec
ton famous for men Of commanding in
telectuaI powers. He was completing
there his fifth full term running, with
mind still clear. purpose high, personal
popularity undiminished, and only his
physical strength impaired.
AS The Star stated several months ago
in a tribute to Mr.. Frye, the younger
members Of the Senate have known their
distinguished associate largely by repu-
tation. While his interest In public bust
ness continued, and his advice In COM
mittee showed the range of his knowledge
and the breadth of his view, his part in
the debates grew less and less, until bod
iIy infirnity cancelled it altogether. He
had been silent in his seat for a long
time, while topics which In his vigor
would have tempted him to his best ef-
forts were inspiring others to their best.
The old warrior looked on and enjoyed
the clashes, but took no part. His sword
was sheathed
But when in his prime and under the
proper inspiration, the Maine senator
x,ra - fine fair enthusiastic fighter, Pop
ular opinion differentiates between the
ment in oratory as in other things; and
the Yankee orator as rule lacks the
fire and ,neglects the rhetorical embellish-
ments of his southern brother. Mr.. Frye
was an exception In fettle he was most
excellent before an audience, whether in
the matter or manner OF his delivery.
Far above the mere declaimer. he yet
knew the arts of defamation, and when
they had a proper place In discussion
could apply them in felicitous and effect
i've way He might, indeed. had he
chosen, have gone into either the south
or west, and taken his stand among the
most eminent political campaigners OF
those sections.
Mr. Frye's place in the history Of his
own state, where many men of Eotable
gifts have lived and wrought, will be
conspicuous. He possessed combina-
tion of gifts making for permanent fame
large intellectual endowment. a sturdy
character courage Of both kinds, and
staying qualities that nothing ever dis
mayed or put to rout.. Taken altogether,
he was an American Of the best Amen
can estate.
