The TITANIC Martyrs
ark was the night, yet calm and

Dark was the night, yet calm and
still
The broad Atlantics breast,
No sound to break the silence, save
The seas means of unrest.
The whispering wavelets lap against
The mighty iceberg's side,
Where swiftly through the waters
dark,
The doomed Titanic glides.
Two thousand souls are wrapped in
sleep,
No thought of fear or death,
To say that numbered were their
hours,
Intruded on their rest.
Straight at the mighty icebergs side
The doomed ship makes her way,
She strikes, recois, then staggers
back,
Her great hulk wrecked for aye.
Then oh, that sad heart rending
scene,
OF wild, dispairing cries,
Men force their wives into the boats,
Nor heed their pleading signs.
Six hundred mothers, sisters, wives,
The lifeboats fill, and then
They sail and leave on that doomed
ship,
Full sixteen hundred men.
Down, down she settles in the sea,
Their death is close at hand,
When DER the silent ocean floats
The music of the band.
Across the dark but quiet sea,
From sixteen hundred Threats,
The hymn, Nearer, my God to Thee
Out DER the water floats
A fearful roar and down she goes,
From human sight for aye,
The ocean closes DER the place
/ Where the doomed Titanic lay.
But with the spirits eyes / see,
A white robed band arise,
The passing of those martyred souls
To God, beyond the skies.
Nina Temple.

question as to the price that tub
sugar would bring in the state this
season, he said:
ANY price would name would be
mere guess but basing the price Of
sugar upon the price that is being
paid for syrup, | would think the
farmers may be able to get IL cents
pound for their best sugar. But it
being a short crop year no one can
tell what shape the market will get
into. Sugar and syrup both may go
higher and there does not seem to be
enough to go around this year"

NO cHEsrNuTs AFTER 1916
Experts Say Disease viii Have De-
stroyed All the Trees.

Albany, April 27-Chestnuts prob
ably will not be found in this sec
ton after about 1916. according to
the State College of Agriculture. The
trees in the Hudson Valley as far
north as Dake George at least have
been ravaged by what is known as
the chestnut bark disease, and 1t is
the opinion of experts that little or
nothing can be done to save them.
In fixing the approximate date of tot
al determination in 1916, the State
officials allow for the spread OF the
disease to advance as rapidly during
the next five years as it has since
1904 when it was first discovered in
this section. The blight may be rec
ognized in winter by these character
istics:
Sunken or swollen cankers or
bosses, reddish brown in appearance,
on limbs or trunks of trees.
Abundant development of suckers
at the base of cankers or the base Of
the tree, noticeable especially when
leaves are off.
By clinging of burs.
The same indications of disease
are present in summer. and in addi-
ton the leaves dwarf, wither or die
on the branches, in the crown or in
many instances all over the tree.
Last summer survey of the State
was made to determine the scope of
the disease, and this revealed the ex-
tent of the possible damage and led
to the conclusion that the chestnut
trees in this section of the State in
all probability are doomed to be
exterminated within a few years at
most.

A lady said a few days ago
THE men should turn politics
over to the women for they would
not do so much grating.
Alas is it a fact? If so let the
ladies hold the reins, and bid
them Godspeed. However, the
men would be very cowardly to
throw down the traces and ac-
knowledge that they were not
capable of withstanding the offer
of a few measley dollars press
ure.
Next Tuesday your vote counts,
and you should make it count
right, so when our self support
ing men are elected to their
coveted goal they will know that
they have been elected we'll and
proper, and realize that their
acts are the basis for future
Office prospects. Every voter
should vote next Tuesday if it
costs him or her $500.

Denver Ministers Condemn
Pearce in Sunday Sermons.

"Many Denver ministers have seen
the affidavits made out against Sec.
retary of State, James B. Pearce by
indignant women to whom, or to whose
daughters, Pearce had offered insults, y
said DR.. Elmer f. Higley, pastor OF
Grace NJ. E. Church in Denver. 1.-THE
makers of these affidavits are, many
of them, personally known to us. II
was the seriousness of the contents OF
these afiidavits that suggested the sub
ject of civic righteousness
"Of the disgraceful scenes enacted in
the state house, those that have taken
place in this particular Office are a
shame to the state. Girls who have
been the victims of this man, or the
mothers of the girls have swore to
these statements. His vile character
and his unworthiness for high Office
is proved conclusively."
DR.. Rollin H. Ayres, pastor of the
Warren Methodist Episcopal church,
also chose Pearce's misconduct as the
subject for his sermon, denouncing
the secretary in bitter terms.
