"GOTT NIT UNS"

The Harvard prize poem to which Prof.
Mayer has made such strenuous objec-
ton to the extent of severing his connec-
ton with the college, is as follows:
No doubt We are the people; Wisdom's
fame
Springs from your cannon-yea from
yours alone.
God needs your dripping lance to
prop his throne;
Your gleeful torch His glory to proclaim.
No doubt We are the people; far from
shame
Your Captains who deface the sculp-
tured stone,
Which by the labor and the blood and
bone
OF pious millions calls upon His name.
No doubt We art the folk; and it's to
prove
Your wardenship Of Virtue and Of Lore
Ye sacrifice the Truth in reeking gore
Upon your altar to the Prince of Love.
Yet still cry we who still in darkness
plod:
"'Tis Antichrist We serve and not your
God!s

Looks Good to Augusta.

Augusta rejoices in the assurance
it's homes and offices Wednesday
morning. The hoped-for but half
unexpected shoe industry is to be To-
Gated here The Crossett Co., of
North Arlington, Mass, has decided to
install a plant to employ 500 hands
at the start.
We assume that there is no ques
ton that Augusta citizens will
promptly subscribe the additional
$4,000.
Already the stimulus to business
and industry is felt. Everywhere
within the city and it's surroundings
new plans are being laid. Budgets
are being revised, and new proposals
considered. Build now,' 'buy
now" repair now,'' are the inspira-
tions of the hour.
In Augusta and surrounding towns
business is bound to Immediately feel
the effect of the industrial promise.
Labor will find itself in demand from
many quarters. In Augusta things
are likely to hum in the next twelve
months.
Here a citizen will provide a tene-
ment to accommodate residents to
come; and there new business will
seek quarters. Real estate will be in
better demand and of increased value
Investors will see new fields opening
up.
Augusta should have a population
of $1,000 on Jan. 1, 1916. 1t is one
evidence of buster Maine. 1t is 4
good beginning when sound Industrial
concerns awaken to the fact that they
can produce and market their produc.
more cheaply in Maine than near tbs

tiers. Let other concerns take no.

Huuhes "UnavaiIabIe,"

The authoritative statement from
Washington (said to have been sent
out with Associate Justice Hughes
approvaD that the former New YORK
governor cannot permit the use Of
his name as a candidate for the
Presidency, would seem to halt the
rapidly growing hope. With Justice
Hughes a one-term declaration or Il
not-a-candidate declaration means
what it says. It is not of the scrap
of paper" or the string to it, kind
to catch favorable comment and
votes and then renounce. A Wash
ington dispatch says:
Justice Hughes wholly disapproves
the use Of his name in connection
with the presidential campaign. Not
only has he no desire to reenter
politics, but as member of the Su-
preme Court he is not available. He
is not a candidate in any sense and
cannot permit his name to be used"
Justice Hughes attitude now, is
said by his friends, to be the same as
it was in 1912, when many regarde
him as a compromise candidate. He
felt then that he had taken the Su-
peme Court bench as his 1ife's work
which he thoroughly enjoyed and he
much preferred the seclusIon and
dignity of the bench to the turmoil of
a political candidacy. More recently
Justice Hughes name has been
brought forward from time to time
and within the last few days Cover
nor Hatfield of West Virginia, while
in Washington, referred to the avail
ability Of Justice Hughes. 1t is un-
derstood the justice has recently
written several letters replying to in
quiries from close personal friends
saying he was in no sense candi-
date and disappearing the use Of his
name.

In discussing the Coe wife deser-
ton case, the Portland Express prop
erly spanks that type Of snealing
coward and then faintheartedly
smoothes it over with the following:
1.-The sympathy naturally goes out to
the young wife who cast her lot in with
one not enough of a man to realize
the responsibilities he had assumed and
live up to them. We shall much prefer
to take the more charitable view of the
case that young Coe must be mentally
deranged; that is, if the newspapers have
presented both sides of the argument
fairly"
There are many such deranged, but
wife's brother with a square jaw, a
good bicep and a scientific familiarity
with the manly art could take thu
"crazy'' out of one of them in about

A Cure.

From college in Virginia comes
man who tells of how he helped cure
a college mate Of staying out so late at
night when he had dates with girls OF
the town in which the college is situat-
ed. The young man was "cured" in this
way:
He was backing out of the door, re-
luctantly loosening his grip on the fair
hand. when his backing out" process
was suddenly arrested and he sat down.
The light from the door flooded out over
the porch. The young woman gave one
look, shrieked and fed.
At first he was angry, and then ne
laughed, but he was cured" His mate
had simply taken his bed from his room
and set it up and made it up on the
porch while he was enjoying his date.
BY the time he had carried it back to
his room, the first streak of new day
marked the beginning of the ''cure" for
the young man.

Finger Crushed by steam Roller

Charles Hoffman, aged 10, and son
of ex-Mayor Hoffman, of Angleses,
who was an engineer on a large steam
roller, which is being used by Contrac-
tor Kalback on the street resurfacing
work in Wild wood, had his thumb and
fore finger Of the right hand caught in
the cogs Of the machine while adjust
ing a valve, on Saturday afternoon. 1t
appears the glove he wore at the time
in some way became caught and drew
his hand in and to save his arm after
his finger was caught he jerked the
finger loose from the hand and then
bravely stuck to his post until he had
run the roller to a safe place and then
ran to the Emergency hospital and had
the balance of the finger amputated
and dressed.
