Lake Eden Notes

Herbert Smalley and wife from Morris
vile, with friends. were visitors here last
Sunday.
Mr.. Bishop and Mr.. Hebb from John

when it does not pour. SO far it is a
warm storm.
Mt. Norris Hotel has changed hands
again. 1t is not expected to be repaired
in time for fall travel. o. d. and Mis-.

ametet; go to 597 Washington street, Bos-

Mondays sunset after the rain was the
most gorgeous ever. The dark green of
the frs, the singular blue-green of the
poplars, the bright red of the water-ma-
pies or white naples, the shaded from
red into green of the rock naples, the
yellow Of the birches and the brighter
yellow of the white birches, the bronze
beds of ferns and the fringe of small
shrubs more or less tinted, that border
the beach, all perfectly reflected in the
mirror of water, was a sight not to be
described by words. neither forgotten by
the beholder.

The Discovery of the Pacific

Iii S just four centuries since Vasco Nu-
nez de Balboa, in the year 1913, looked
from mountain peak in Darien and saw
the waters of the Pacific Ocean, of which,
a little later, he took possession in the
name of Spain.
His glimpse of the mighty western sea
could reveal little of the future, not even
the death which should so ION close his
adventurous career. AS little of the de-
tails of the future could such a glimpse
give to-day-but surely the story of the
next four centuries will be filled with
great events.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The idea of the maStership of
man over woman has changed to
the idea of equal partnership
and right between man and wife,
and the loftiest type of family
life that | know is in the homes
where that equality is accepted
as a matter of course. Votes for
women will not cure all evils. If
| thought that Id take 'em away
from men. But in no state
where suffrage has been tried
has it done damage, and in ev-
cry state it has bettered social
and industrial conditions. All
the arguments against it are du-
plicated in the arguments against
manhood suffrage a century ago.
Our democracy is based on the
theory that the average man
shall be the controlling factor in
the government. Our whole eff
fort is toward that. We have
made the average man the mas
ter. All we propose to do now is
to put his partner alongside
him.-Colonel Theodore Roose-
