And not the least interesting feature

Onthe Spur Of theMoment


A MetamOrph0sls.
Under the spreading chestnut tree
The village smithy stood:
The smith. mighty man was he
Industrious and good.
He did repairing in those days
At very slight expense,
And very seldom did the bill
Run over SO cents.
He lived within a humble cot,
And poverty he knew,
And luxuries that came his way
Were very. very few.
Then came the metamorphosis,
He's now a millionaire;
He has a mansion and yacht
And railroad bonds to spare
He doesn't tinker wagons now,
Where once he made a dime.
He charges $50 for
Five minutes Of his time.
The humble blacksmith Is no more,
He is a man of means:
He's running a high-toned garage
And thinkers limousines.

EDGAR A. POEs MOTHER.

There is something profoundly pa
thetic in the news that tho grave OF
Edgar Allan Poe's mother has been
discovered in old st. Johns church
yard in Richmond Her grave seems
indeed a place for a monument. but a
monument to defeated hopes. q dark
and sombre relic Of the reflected bril-
liancy Of her sons career. From what
soever high and quiet place she looks
down upon tho world, what thoughts
Of tho NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. her eter-
nal hours?
She was a gay and beautiful woman,
an actress. and she bore as son that
delicate and mysterious incarnation Of
wild creativeness. Edgar Poe. How
much OF her own gaiety and beauty
and mystery helped to mold the fra
sile prophet Of weird poetry who once
nestled to her breast? Does she re-
member with glowing pride that he
was a great artist and a fiery burning
soul. or does she shudder at the
thought Of her little son, befuddled in
his cups and shaming all her one-time
hopes for him? II she reconciled to
his failings for the sake of his gifts?
1t is hard to understand the sadness
that her picture brings to the heart.
Perhaps it Is because OF the quick
forgetfulness that swiftly covers q
human life. She has melted into time
like a painted November leaf drifting
down upon the dark surface OF the
tarn Of Auber. We remember her for
her sons sake. but not even In his
haunting lines is there aught to tell
Of her life. She was Poe's mother. We

lie buried q monument in her honor.
Yet We do not even know the color

doubt as to whether those who DO
vote get things straight-it might be
wise to consider a simpler and more
compelling expression Of publiolopinion.
T, Attorney General wickersham thinks
the trouble is in the Indifferent voter.
to exercise the suffrage under a PEN

amendments. His idea Is that In set

or dissent Mr.. Charles Francis Adams
has a clever plan for having the presi-
dental vote taken by mail. He would
use the post office machinery for cleo
ton purposes, ana so save both time
and money. His scheme would be
worked somewhat upon the registered
letter theory. Every voter would be
reached. and full and official record
established at small cost.
Another interesting proposal Is that
we hold our elections on Sunday. Per-
haps the idea is that the better the
day the better the deed. and so men
would not wander into devious ways
of securing votes. It would also save
a day, and perhaps the fact that Sum
cause a more intense interest in cast
ing a ballot
Earnest efforts are also being made
to simplify the machinery Of voting
The ballot is being shortened in order
to avoid confusing the issue. or the
voter. Tests Of new automatic ma
chimes have proved discouraginG. Even
the experts could not split ticket IN
less than forty seconds, and the ordi-
nary man took from two to three min

ever dubious.
The moral Of the whole agitation 10
that voting depends on the man. and
that we can't get . better system un-
til we got men who are moro intel
lieent and more keenly sensible OF
their responsibilities. OF what eignih-
canoe would be vote forced from

a voter refuses to come in person. Will
he be OF any value by mail? Will not
as many doubtful deeds be done on
Sunday as on Tuesday? About all that
can be done IS to educate a man until
he learns that It Is to his interest to
vote and to tell him how to vote wisely
and expeditiously. The rest lies with
him.
