The poem "Meinself Und Colt, "
which was written as parody on the
war lord" of Germany, Emperor Will
liam, created much excitement at the
time it was recited at banquet in
New York city by Captain Coghlan Of
the United States navy. Previous to
that it had been practically unknown,
but it was soon widely copied and ii
was a considerable time before the
author Of the verses could be located.
This poem was written under pecu-
liar circumstances, in Montreal, Can
ada, in October, 1897. AS the verses
were in the original, they were thirteen
in number, as printed above. The
occasion which called out the writing
was Emperor Williams speech on the
divine right of Kings and his OWL
special mission upon earth.
At the time A. M. Gordon, Scotch
man by birth, whose real name was
A. McGregor Rose, was member o.
the Montreal Herald staff. He had
been in the habit Of writing verses up
on different subjects and was looked
upon as a very bright fellow indeed.
The city editor said to him: Give us
a poem, Gordon, on the emperor. "

OPPOSES
THE EIGHT HOUR LAW
Secretary Taylor. of the State Fedora
ton of Labor, Says Proposed
Law is Bad One

THE American Federation OF Labor
is opposed to such legislation as the
proposed eight-hour law on which the
citizens of this state may be called to
vote on next fall" said Charles Perry
TAYLOR, secretary of the State Fedora
ton of Labor, at a meeting of the Cen
trail Labor Council of Spokane.
This species of law" said the
speaker, is an attempt to trap the
American worker into species OF
slavery. After the establishment OF a
minimum wage our courts would then
establish a maximum wage. Then
they would compel the workmen TO
labor for the standard wage. thus TAX
ing away the initiative power OF the
individual, which is the basis OF Tree
dom. 1t is far better for the workmen
to trust to the strength OF their own
organization to get advantageous con-
ditions of labor. Courts change and
the voters are tickle. Then, when
your legislative protection is broken
down you have no organization to fall
back on and are at the mercy OF your
enemies "

Looking for
Land?

ANY land in the Upper Wenatchee
Valley is a good purchase at present
prices. Think of what has been made
in the lower valley. At Peshastin land
is now selling for four times what it was
bought at four years ago. Ten years
ago land that sold for 5000 per acre
afterwards sold for $4,000. A small
investment in land in this vicinity is
better than bank account.

you about it:

ed the poem at that time. In the
second edition it was given in full
and signed "a. M. R. Gordon"
A few years after the poem was writ
ten Gordon's mind commenced to fail
and he was finally taken by a few Of
his newspaper friends to Notre Dame
hospital, Montreal, and for weeks he
lay as helpless as a child and unable
to recognize anyone. Finally he passed
away and was buried by those who had
so much enjoyed his society.

War Causes Serious Complications for
Exporting

The gravity of complications arising
from the general European war is dem
onstrated particularly in the conditions
surrounding exports. With most Of the
ships flying foreign flags and subject to
blockage or capture, the possibility OF
exports from the United States this
season is small indeed.
At no time in the history Of the
country has the need for American
vessels been seen more than at this
time-at no time has the lack of same
been so clearly evidenced. The North
western section depends upon its fruit
export markets to great extent. Not
only is this in a specific way, but gen.
orally, for the tying up OF exports will
throw millions of barrels Of apples back
upon our domestic markets thereby
hampering distribution efforts as a
whole.
The Northwestern Fruit Exchange,
in recognition of the gravity of the
situation and evident need for remedy
has begun to hurry protecting meas
urss, being adopted by legislation.
The following telegram was sent out
Tuesday night from its Portland office
to senators and representatives from
Oregon in Washington:
The interests OF Northwestern apple
and pear growers as we'll as those Of
every fruit grower in the United States
are vitality involved in proposal to admit
foreign vessels to American registry.
Exports of fresh apples from the United
States averaged for the last three years
approximately two and a half million
barrels annually, including boxes fig
ured at three to a barrel. All but an
insignificant proportion of this tonnage
has been transported in foreign bottoms
principally British and German. With
transportation available probably over
three million barrels including boxes
will find market in Europe this season;
without it this surplus will be thrown
back on domestic markets with results
probably disastrous. We urge fullest
protection for this important export"
To strengthen the plea for aid in
this direction, letter has been sent
out to all the Northwestern branches
of the organization. asking them to
urge their representatives in office to
take action Immediately along these
lines.
To newspapers, bankers, tradespeo-
pie and the general public the neces-
sity for relief of the conditions caused
by the present conflict cannot help but
prove apparent.

Republicans Open Fire
With Heaviest Guns
Seeeial to The Telegraph

Washington, D. c., Sept. 25. - AS
soon as the war revenue bill was called
up in the House yesterday the Repub-
licans opened fire upon 1T with their
heaviest artillery. The burden of all
the speeches made against the bill, by
which the Democrats expect to raise
S105, 900 in additional revenue, was
that the tax levy now is unnecessary
and the money sought could be saved
to the Treasury through retrenchment
in governmental expenditures.
The sentiment of the House was fair
ly well represented in the vote for the
adoption of the special rule. The en-
tire Republican side lined up against
it, and thirty Democrats also voted
against II.
The keynote of the Republican op-
position was voiced by Representative
Lenroot. of Wisconsin, who said:
There is about to be written another
chapter in the history of Democratic
achievement. It's title will be The
Hypocrisy and Incompetency of the
Democratic Party"
The Republican floor leader, Repre-
sentative Mann, said:
TT would be unfair for me to exult
as political proposition at the funeral
exercises of the Democratic party" He
predicted that the Republicans would
be in control again shortly after the
election in November"

LACK Of BIG HOTEL
LOSES CONVENTION
OF STATE DOCTORS
Medical Society Members Favored
This City, but Couldn't Stand
For Bad Accommodations

Lack of hotel facilities lost to Har-
risburg next years convention of the
Medical Society of the State of Penn
sylvania. This announcement was
made by the Harrisburg delegates on
their return home to-day from Pitts
burgh, where this years meeting was
held.
Harrisburg was the choice of 90 per
cent. of the delegates in attendance at
the Pittsburgh sessions and it was
agreed to come to Harrisburg next
year. Then someone inquired as to
whether there had been any improve
ment in Harrisburg hotel accommo-
dations. Harrisburg's delegates had
to admit there was not and the So
ciety reconsidered its action and Phila-
delphia was selected. DR.. Oenslager
said to-day:
Harrisburg delegates regretted the
necessity for giving up next years
meeting. The delegates were of the
opinion that Harrisburg could enter
tain a large crowd of visitors. but they
feared the hotels would not meet the
requirements of the physicians. 1t
was at our own suggestion that Phila-
delphia was selected.

was locked up for shooting his moth

to see his master by a couple of

told the aged woman that he wasn't
sure, but he'd probably be over to see
her next summer"

David Leaves Wildwood Lake
in Search of His Lost Love
At Least That's One Theory of the Big Swans Departure
Down Susquehanna River

Wildwood society, feathered, furred
and tinned, was all a-gog to-day again
over the latest escapade of David.
David, as is probably generally
known, is head of the swan family of
the lake; his responsibilities are grave
and many. Hence the scandal that
was stirred up when the discovery was
made that he had cody and even con-
temptuously ignored his wives Naomi
and Ruth and went out for a glide on
the Susquehanna.
The facts in brief are these: Some
time after s this morning David, who
had been last seen craning his neck
over the edge of the great conduit that
leads from the upper overflow of the
lake to the river, nearly a mile away,
suddenly disappeared. From the river
bank near CoXestown, less than an
hour later, Robert Coeyman spied the
great white swan on the Susquehanna.
Fred Swartz, Jr., saw the bird about
the same time and phoned the park
department officials. In due course
Assistant superintendent Hoffert hur-
ried to the upper end of the city via
automobile and captured David with

the aid of boat after a long chase
and returned him to the bosom of his
family Obviously that little spree of
David's was a closed chapter-from
all appearances.
But the social set at wildwood is
still agitated about 1t. Some of the
more quacking tongues have even di-
rected the finger of suspicion at
Mamie, the wild duck, outrageous flirt
of the lake. There have been other
reasons advanced, however. One is
that David, wearied of the surfeit of
love lavished upon him by Ruth and
Noami, sneaked away for little party
of his own somewhat down the Sus-
quehanna. Another is that his love
lor his first love and mate Phyllis has
never grown cold and he took the first
chance that offered, to follow her.
cine mystery of how and why Phyllis
suddenly left David year ago and
slipped down the sewer to oblivion has
never been solved).
Be this all as it may, the important
fact remains that David Is back again
with his family, none the worse for his
debauch.
