What William Shows Us

VERY FINE LAW YER, gentleman who
has recently been mentioned in connection with the
Ohio governorship, writes us:
"Taft's term in the White House has done more
to open the eyes of the people to the folly of turning
the government over to lawyers and judges than any
thing else which has happened in generation
Yes, sir! From evil cometh good, often very
often We get those delicious lady fingers cakes
from ancient eggs, and from Bill Taft we get ire
mendous demonstration of just exactly the sort of
man not to make president. We sure owe it to Bill
to say that in this respect he has done the country
service unequaled by predecessors in particular or
collectively.
But our government is pretty largely govern
ment by courts now and to follow logically our Ohio
correspondent it is bad thing to put lawyers the
bench.
Bad government by lawyers, good government
by laymen. This is sound argument, rational deduc-
zion. And we may eventually get around to curing
some OF our ills by such substitution
not with consent of the lawyer Ohioan or otherwise
however.

The Times Daily Short Story

dipped his hand into the sea and
began feeling until he came on
what he sought. 1t was the great
chain that held the anchor of the
Inflexible. Then, leaning over,
holding his boat stationary with
his left hand, which gripped the
hawser, he began filing beneath
the water.
Half an hour later he laid the
file aside and felt the chain with
his hand. In the strong steel
there was the smallest indenta-
ton. He hurried his work. 1t
would take him all night, and it
must be completed by dawn.
Day broke at last as Piret
reached the shore. He did not
hesitate, but went from door to
to door, awakening the inmates,
whispering to them. AS each man
heard he took his musket from
beneath the floor where 1t had
been concealed and hurried after
the fisherman. But before the
mists had risen from the face of
the sea cries of distress came
ringing over the waters. Then
came another sound, well known
by all; that of a ships timbers
grinding upon that rock bound
wall.
Suddenly the curtain of the fog
rolled. Hard on the rocks rolled
the stranded hulk Of the Inflex-
ible. The giant waves broke over
her, her guns rolled helplessly
upon their chassis, pointing sky
ward and seward. One moment
the villagers paused in awe, the
next their muskets crashed out
a thunder of doom to the inva-
ders, black in the rigging.
Jean Ptret had baited his lob
ster pots to good purpose.

By BRETON BRHzfW

I'm sick of the mountains,
The lakes and the plain,
And even the seashore
Just gives me pain.
I'm weary of places
Vacationists roam;
I'm weary of loafing--
want to go home.
I'm bored with the hammocks
That lazily swing,
I'm sick of the brides
That MARBLE and sing.
I'm sick of flirtations
As frothy as foam;
1 long for the city
want to go home.
I want to be busy
Where life Is athrob;
1 want to be hustling,
Get back on the job.
The summers near over,
And up in my dome
This carol is ringing
II want to go home!"

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-"In
three generations America will
be the greatest monarchy the
world has ever seen. She is,
eight now, rushing with all her
might toward such o develop
ment with the unchecked growth
of her mighty plutocracy and the
continuous upbuilding of her
mighty army and her mighty navy
the two chiefest bulwarks of a
predatory wealth and landed
aristocracy. The time is fast ar
irving, these things plainly seem
to point, when a king will finally
be demanded to rule this land-a
king about whom the satellites,
mOnied and titled, may revOlve,
and who, by pomp and cerecony,
may deIude the people as to their
REAL rights"
Kier Hardie, member of the
English parliament and most fa-
nous of all British socialists,
paints this as possible picture
of future, near-future, American
politics.

gence, made the statement to me
calmly and forcefully. This IL
Hardie's fourth visit to the
United States and he says he
feels sure now that such a roy
alistic regime as he pictures
MUST and WILL come to pass
here unless the workingmen oil
this country begin AT ONCE to
REALIZE and to TAKE THEIR
RIGHTS. He says:
American people are no diff
ferent than English people and
although they haven't a king now

power with militia, navymen,
guns, powder and armored cruis-

away before the king arrives. and
when he does the people will be
flattered by him then Just as the
English people are flattered by
him today.
"Will the American nation al

"These are the questions I am
eager to see answered. want
to see the working people of Ann
erica have too much intelligence
to neglect their rights and pass
them over to an aristocracy.
s'There is only one way they
can conserve their rights. And
that one way Is to redistribute
the centers Of wealth so that they
cannot go on increasing automat-
ically and delegating, int propr-
ton, more and more power to the
owners of these pools and. de-
crease In proportion, the power of
the people who are creating these
pools.
1.-THE way to redistribute this
wealth Is to establish municipal
and state ownership OF public
utilities and the means of produc-
ton. And to do this, the work.
ing class must put itself in con-
troll of municipal councils, legis-
latures and national congresses.
"Royalty-hero worship-is a
diseased form of insanity, and
Americans. the workers Of Ameri
can, should not succumb to 1t,
even to the final symptoms that
announce its coming. Instead
they must rouse themselves, form
their own party and never agin
allow themselves to be governed
and exploited by an oligarchy-
rule by a few self-chose ego
lists"

THE LOBSTER POTS
BY Harold Carter

Jean Piret flung the oars into
his boat and pushed off from the
shore, followed by the curses Of
the Breton fishermen.
Traitor" shouted one. 1.-THE
English gold is dearer to thee
than the honor of France. Go,
catch they Holsters for the Eng
lish commander"
Piret made no reply. but
glanced up the bay to where, an
chored in the swift tides, the
British battleship Inflexible, a
man-of-war of three decks and
ninety guns, doomed like a men
acing specter against the mouth
of the harbor. Next he looked
back upon the little fishing viii
lage, SO lately devastated by the
red-hot cannon balls of the in
vaders. He paled and muttered
into his beard.
go, then, accursed one, catch
thy Holsters for the English!
cried the fishermen, shaking theil
fists at him as he pulled out.
Their anger was natural. The
English supply ship had not come
in, and Jean Piret's Holsters and
fresh fish, which he sold to the
English officers, formed a wei
come change from the unvaryins
rations of half mouldy pork, pick
led in brine. He alone of all the
Breton sailors took out his boa
nowadays. In him the love OF
gain seemed to have supplantet
patriotism.
AS he neared the battleship
however, his eye clouded. He
glanced along the bay. No pilot
had brought her hither, nothing
save sheer luck had guided hel
through those swift tides and
rocky barriers. Once she set sal
or lost her anchor she would be
swept to destruction upon the
needle edges of the submerged
rocks. over which breakers con
stantly were foaming.
"Ha, Piret, have you fish fol

deck as his boat pulled by. 90

"Under those rocks there ar

sponded. indicating the direction

Amundsen later not only materially
added to the information already cabled
by him respecting his journey to and
from the south pole, but also discussed
the question of whether it is likely that
he was preceded by his English rival,
Captain Robert f. Scott. He said:
81 saw no traces whatever showing
that Captain Scott had been at the
pole, but it is possible that he had been
there and had left some unsubstantial
memorial, which had afterward been de-
stroyed by the storms.
''The chances, however, are heavily
against this theory, for during the
three days that l was there the weather
was calm and still, and think that is
the prevalent condition.
"There was nothing but the vast
level plains of snow, and hence there
was no possibility of erecting a perma-
nent cairn of stones.
'The season was very favorable, and
therefore it is exceedingly likely that
Captain Scott did reach the pole later
if not sooner than myself. L most sim
cerely hope he did arrive there, for he
well deserves success.

To Celebrate Century of Relative
Freedom From War.

1t must be remembered that the year
1915 will be the Tooth anniversary, not
only of peace between Great Britain
and the United States, but of the end
of the Napoleonic wars. Despite the
conflicts which have marked the last
100 years, these are as nothing in com
parison with the almost unbroken series
of bloody wars beginning way back
in the middle ages and coming to an end
at Waterloo. AS compared with the
centuries that precede it, the 100 years
ending in 1915 constitute century of
peace of the steady advance of Justice.
This great dominant fact should be cele-
brated at San Francisco in order that
men may turn to the future with even
greater hope and promise.-From "The
World IS Peace and the Panama Pacific
