Steam power in place of sails, and the
general use of the donkey engine on
shipboard, have done away with the old
time stanty that put vim into the pulling
and hauling. But Mr.. Lincoln Colcord Of
Searsport, the port of deep-water COM
RnaDders, who is the son of seafarer
and has been aseafarer himself, has in the
June issue of the American Magazine,
shanty apropos of the opening of the
Panama Canal, "Good-by, Cape Horn"
which has all the virility of the old-time
sea sorgs, as witness the first verse ana
chorus:
Fifty sail O. noble ships threshin' round the
Horn,
Lean and handsome clipper ships, liftiu' by
the fore,
Swoopin' like the albatross, ridin' like the swan
Well, you won't see them no more.
oh, you won't see them no more, a-swingin'
south,
With white surge underneath the bow,
Rscin' through the gale, crackin' on the sail,
For to get there, never mind how.
Then it's good-by o Cape Horn! 1--WE lovedyou,
too)
With hey-yah! And good-by!
For the times are changed, and the courses laid
anew.
Oh! Good-by, Cape Horn!

Bryan secured Wilson's nomination at
Baltimore, and in payment of this politi-
cal debt, and to prevent possible split
in the Democratic party, he was made
Secretary of State; place for which he
had no qualifications and in which he
has made this country laughing stock
abroad. Bryan is responsible for the
plank in the Democratic platform de-
claring for a single presidential term.
He was laying his corn then to sue
coed Wilson. When the President made
known that he was opposed to national
prohibition Bryan rushed into print to
declare himself in favor of it, thus max
ing bid for the prohibition vote. Since
then he has been awaiting his opportun.
ity to get out of the Cabinet on an issue
that would further his presidential as
prations. He thought he had found it
in the second note to Germany, and has
followed up his theatrical exit from a
position he should never have occupied
by daily statements through the news
papers designed to embarrass the adj
ministration in its negotiations with Ger
many. Further than that it is said that
he proposes to take the stump to advo-
cate his personal and peculiar views. 1t
does not seem that he can have many
followers; but whether few or many, all
true American citizens. regardless of
political affiliations or past predjudicas,
South as we'll as North, will give the ad-
ministration loyal support in demanding
that the rights of neutrals shall be re-
spected and the rules of civilized warfare
observed.

1t is not worth while to attempt to
give the recent war news in detail. 1t is
more contradictory than usual, and one
does not know which side to believe.
First the Russians are on the offensive
again and have killed and captured thou
s ands of Germans; then ditto as to the
Germans. At the Dardanelles the Allies
h ave advanced and have been driven
back. In the west it is the same old
ST DRY of trench fighting. The only real
definite news seems to be the torpedoing
of steam ard sail craft and fishing boats
bv the German submarines.

At Lynn, Mass, on Flag Day, ten
thousand people at an open-air meeting
heard Senator Henry Cabot Lodges ad-
dress on the flag, in which he said:
"We cannot afford the humblest citi-
zen to suffer wrong or injustice; we can
not allow American lives to be taken
illegally or wantonly without seeking re.
dress, for if the flag does not protect the
citizen, the citizen will not protect the
flag"
On the evening of that day there was
a Flag Day service in the First Parish
Unitarian church of Portland, and in his
address Rev. Charles R. Joy, the pastor,
said that he would rather see the flag of
Germany or Japan floating over the Cap
itol at Washington than have the country
at war, and he declared for peace at any
price, holding that even war in self-de-
tense would be wrong. He would prefer,
he said, to see the Stars and Stripes torn
to shreds and scattered to the winds
rather than sacrifice an ideal, and he ad-
vocated sending all the battleships to the
scrapheap. He expressed the hope that
the flag of the United States would be
torn down and the flag of the United
States of the World raised in its place
over the Capitol.
1t is said that the members of the
Portland Lodge of Elks present listened
to these remarkable statements Sin
silence, broken only by signs of restless
ness.''

For many weeks "Ruggles of Red
Gap" by Harry Leon Wilson, has held
its place in the list Of ten best sellers in
fiction, most of the time at the head.
Many of the "best sellers" can be fifty
characterized as rot, but fortunately
they are as ephemeral as mushrooms.
But "Ruggles of Red Gap" does not
cone in that category, nor IS it to be
classed with the "Quack Novels" of
which Owen Wister treats in the June
number of The Atlantic Monthly. There
must be entertaining as we'll as serious
reading, and many will enjoy the por-
trayal of Ruggles, an English valet, and
of the people with whom he was thrown
in our western country.

President Wilson has been severely
criticised and censured because of his
"Watchful Waiting" Mexican policy,
for which no defence can be made. Re-
cent developments indicate, however,
that it was not his policy but Bryan's,
and while this adds to the general re-
ioicing over the resignation of member
of the cabinet whose unftness for the
position is generally recognized it cannot
restore the lives and property of Ameri-
cans destroyed in Mexico because of the
unwarranted interference Of this coun-
try to depose President Huerta and in
stal in bis place the notorious cutthroat
and bandit, Villa. Had this country fol-
lowed the example of Great Britain and
recognized Huerta, all this trouble and
loss of life and property would have
been avoided and Mexico would not be
today in a state of anarchy. We should
not have sent fleet to Vera Cruz to de-
mand an apology, to return without it
after sacrificing more lives of our people.
The Mexican muddle evidently should be
charged up TO the ex-Secretary Of State.

Perhaps it is shorter hours and higher wages.
