EN- VOYAGE.

Whichever way the wind doth blow,
Some heart is glad to have it so;
Then blow it east or blow it west,
The wind that blows, that wind is best.
My little craft sails not alone;
A thousand fleets from every zone
And out upon a thousand seas;
And what for me were favoring breeze
Might dash another with the shock
OF doom upon some hidden rock.
And so / do not dare to pray
For winds to watt me on my way,
But leave it to Higher Will
To stay or speed me: trusting still
That all is well and sure that He
Who launched my bark will sail with me
Through storm and calm, and will not
fail,
Whatever breezes may prevail,
To land me. every peril past,
Within His shelt'ring haven at last.
Then, whatsoever wind doth blow,
My heart is glad to have it SO;
And blow it east or blow it west,
The wind that blows, that wind is best.

AFTER NOMINATION.

The exact text of Supreme Court
decision quoted to justify primary bolt
ing indicates that man is free to re-
pudiate a candidate if he be found un-
worthy. This clearly implies after the
primary. 1t does not justify mans
going into primary with the pre-
determination to help to name candi-
date and then knife him, despite his
doingnothing subsequently to deserve 1t.
The decision referred to reads: 1--WE
add in concluding that, while not the
case in this instance, the voters who
discover after nomination that an un-
trustworthy man has been nominated
should have the right to vote and elect
another, at least until statute Is
adopted to the contrary"

the suns rays through a lens lgnited

hour. Noon marks were common be-
fore the peasants door. Noon marks

In this country there is a growing
love for sundials. In those charming
country cottages" and castles that
border the salty cliffs along the New
England shore, gardening has been
brought to an harmonious art which
may very well be compared with that
of England and the ravishing beauty of
the old world gardens. The writer of
this recalls such garden beyond New
port, R. l., at Grey Castles. Hedged off
from the park-like beauty of wandering
paths and winding roads, little my
Lady's own garden"-a place of trim
rose trees and dainty paths as zona
Gale once wrote of a garden path,
seemed just big enough for pair of
violets to walk down! In the center
of the whole delicious bouquet stood
the sundial thing of beauty, re-
minder forever. Beneath the columned
pedestals the bent body of a slave sup
ported the dial-subtly conveying the
truth-even to that heavenly spot of
demure peace-that one and all are
slaves to time.

peace. At the opening of Sunshine

The text of the statement follows:
During the day of Sept. 2S, our

TOST0P DUMPING
OF CHEAP FOREIGN
PRODUCTS IN U. S,

Washington. Sept oS.-Legislation
is being considered by the administra-
ton to prevent the dumping" OF
cheap foreign products on the Ameri-
can market at the conclusion of the
European war. Some high officials be-
lieve the end can be accomplished
without a revision of the tariff.
There is believed to be serious dan
ger that after the war European con-
Germs will attempt to recover lost
ground by flooding the United States
with goods to be sold at less than the
cost of production.
Foreign goods. it was pointed out
by officials today. cannot be shipped
to the United States unless the in
voices are signed by American con-
sular officers abroad. An effort is to
be made to find a way to prevent the
signing of invoices in cases where it
has been established that the goods
are to be dumped on the American
market at prices less than the cost Of
production.

Enjoin Corn
Flake Co. in
Gov'n't Suit

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 2S.-The Kel-
logg Toasted Corn Flakes Co. Of Bat
tie Creek, is permanently en1olned
from fixing the resale price on its
product, by a consent decree announc-
ed today in United States district
court here in the governments anti
trust suit against the Kellogg con-
Germ. The decree takes effect after Oct.
Is Of this year and is considered
highly important because it establish
es a precedent against the fixing of
resale prices on food products. The
government brought suit against the
Kellogg Co. in December, 1912, alleg-
ing the defendants had no legal au-
thority to fix the resale price Of their
property or to suggest or warn job
bers that If they refused to carry out
the fixed price they would be cut off
from further supply of toasted corn
flakes. The defendants contended they
we're not violating the law inasmuch
as the notice to jobbers concerning the
resale price was printed on car
ton, containing the product which had
been patented with the notice there
on. The patent, they claimed, made it
legal for hem to handle their product
in that way. According to the decree,
however, the company is not only per-
manently enjoined from fixing the re-
sale price, but it must also refrain
from using on its cartons or boxes the
notice concerning the fixed price.

1t was between 7.a0 and 7.45 when Mr..
Laham. standing behind his counter and
talking to a customer, looked up to see
two Negroes enter the store from the
rear. The first Negro was very tall
shorter and stouter.
Here, what are you doing here?
Where did you come from?' asked Mr..
Laham. He saw the mems clothes were
covered with dirt. and thought they
might have been lying during the day in
the blind alley behind the string of
stores.
We've been playing in the pool room,
and they threw US out in the yard re-

ham. not yet satisfied. He then went to
the pool room next door and inquired
whether there had been any Negroes
playing there and whether they had been
thrown out in the yard. The proprietors
knew nothing about any Negroes.
AS Mr.. Laham left his store he heard
the first Negro shout over his shoulder to
the other. Come on, we can get out
through here" When he returned after
only minutes absence he discovered
the Negroes had gone, probably down
to Temple street and down that thor
oughfare.
Meanwhile the customer who had been
talking with Mr.. Laham was dispatched
to notify the police of the incident, al
though of course Mr.. Laham at the time
did not know anything of the tragedy
which had taken place in the big hard
ware store nearby.
The police came and received from Mr.
Laham the information which set them
at once looking for the two Negroes
suspected and resulted in the capture
of the two men in Lewiston and Portland
this morning.
