written which may better picture to
the mind the incidents of the appali

now staggering the sympathy OF the

From out the desolation of the north

From its OBTAINING comrades breaking

Who made the dread appointment 1t
must keep?
Who traced it's awful course?

To the warm airs that stir in the
sweet south
A good ship spread her sails;
Stately she passed beyond the har-

Chased by the favoring gales.
And on her ample deck happy crowd
Babe the fair land goodbye;
Clear shone the day, with not single
cloud
In all the peaceful sky.
Brave men, fair women, little children
bright,
For all these she made room,
And with her freight of beauty and
delight
She went to meet her doom.
Storms buffeted the iceberg, spray

Across it's loftiest height
Guided alike by storm and calm, ii

Its fatal path Alright.

Eai, Ship and Iceberg Pale
"A TRYST''

Ever Death rode upon its solemn
heights,
Ever his watch he kept;
Cold at its heart through changing

Its changeless purpose slept.

Meanwhile with matchless grace,

Drew near the trysting place.
For still the prosperous breezes fol-
lowed her,
And half the voyage was DER;
In many a breast glad thoughts be-
gan to stir,
Of lands that lay before.
And human hearts with longing love
were dumb,
That soon would cease to beat,
Thrilled with the hope Of meetings
soon to come,
And lost in memories sweet.
Was not the 'weltering waste of water
wide
Enough for both to sail?
What drew the two together DER the
tide.
Fair ship and iceberg pale?
There came night with neither
moon nor star.
Clouds draped the sky in black;
With fiuttering canvas reefed at
every spar,
And wierd fire in her track.
The shin went on; wild wind gath
ering fast.
Drove her at utmost speed.
Brayely she bent before the titful
blast
That shook her like a reed.

Duly through wind and sea, one aw'

Scarcely her crew had time to Gluten

SO swift the work was done;
Ere their pale lips could frame d

They persisted, every one.

in that event the clause of the con- stitution on which the court bases it's decision would have retained the meaning it had when the people rat flied it. instead of seemingly taking on a meaning quite opposite and quite accidental so far as the responsibility for it's apparent meaning rests with the sovereign citizen who is supposed to be the maker of constitutions: in view of all these well known and in contestable facts the decision, to say the least, is nothing less than re- markable and quite on a par with that class of decisions that has caused people generally to lose confidence and respect for both courts and judges and has forced them to fashion the re- call and write it into their cOnstitu- tions as a means of self defense. However remarkable as this decision is in itself, it is even less astonish- ing than the unheard of disinterested- ness. the unprecedented mOdesty, the sublime devotion to the constitution, the high moral courage displayed by the court in assuming the right by authority of the constitution, the stat utes and precedents galore, and as sume the role of judge, jury and ad VOcate, rolled into one, and proceeds to try a case wherein each and every one of those three judges are con cerned to the extent of two years tenure of office and $10,00O each in the way of salary, and after full, fair and unbiased considera ton of the case in all it's aspects, boldly; bravelN cOurageously, fearlessly. conscientious ly, disinterestedly. after less than a weeks deliberation, in a written deci- sion occupying less than two pages of the Gazette, decide the case in their own favor.
 But, don't blame the court for this
