A Reply to "Difficuit August"

Or. f. Whittier, Caribou. Me.)
There is no rhyme for August?
At least you find it So
But sure. my friend, | think you must,
Have overlooked one though.
On yonder pillar there's bust.
Twas put there long ago,
The time | think was in August,
But l don't really know
There you can see the streaks of dust
In winter there is snow.
The summer sun again, trust,
Will melt the snow away:
And sutry days of next August
Will have again their sway.
So THIS l say to you my friend
And it is only just
You MUST RECALL what you just said,
No rhyme for DEAR August.

"Playina Horse"

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge sees
no lack of patriotism in criticising the
President. Speaking at Worcester.
Mass, the other day, Senator Lodge
said:
I'VE have had loss Of employment.
loss Of revenue, increased taxes and
no reduction in the cost Of living.
That was where the Democrats landed
us when the war began. Apart from
the artificial trade conditions created
by the war, that is where we are to-
day. l feel that the time has come to
speak frankly. With the old toast.
My country, right or wrong we are
all familiar. fail to see why 1t
should be extended to cover the Presi-
dent.
Our foreign policy is not deserving
of commentator.
THE Mexican trouble was with US
when the war came on. We had al.
obligation either to abstain or to in
terfere effectually. This nation did
neither. 1t ordered arms out of the
country, and then at Vera Cruz we in
tervened. We used the South Ameri-
can states in that emergency and ap-
parently we are about to try that
program over again.
Nothing is worse than perpetual
talk and nothing done.
Il appreciate the difficulties Of Sc
lecting the right course, but what l
condemn is our attitude in failing to
go in or stay out Some 200 Ameri-
cans have died in Mexico. We have
done nothing but talk.
There must be no party in our
foreign relations. Our foreign poll
cies become dangerous beyond words
if any attempt is made to placate any
set of voters.
do you appreciate that a vote to
sustain the Democrats means a vote
for the party which through its
President last December sneered at
the idea Of preparedness"
With these words Senator Lodge
helps rescue a great issue from the
engulfing waves Of an hysterical
propaganda which Democratic politi-
clans have created and maintained for
partisan advantage. knowing their
foreseeing a like result with their for
eign policies, the Democratic leaders
that of sustaining the President. The
President has thus far done nothing.
tanned? In all our foreign revelations,
as conducted by him. there appears
he requires to be sustained. While,
as Senator Lorge points out, if this
false issue is permitted to gain
ground, the President and his party
will be justified in interpreting the re-
suit as vote Of confidence in their
domestic policies which have pro-
duced nothing but disaster.
1t is time for the people of this
country. Republicans especially. to
know that Democrats are trying to
play horse with them.

The shipping Of British gold from
Halifax to New York by way of Ban
gor recalls to one Bangor man, says
the Commercial, the original inten-
tions Of the builders of the European
and Northern American Railway,
from the Canadian provinces to Ban
gor which was to provide an avenue
of travel for transatlantic passengers
from Canadian ports to New York. 1t
was thought that all travel would take
this route because the slow speed Of
steamers at that time made it short
er route than all the way by water.
Fast steamers made the via Bangor
route unable to compete. however, UNI
til war time came and makes it i'm
possible for British men Of war to en-
ter New York harbor. If the shipments
of the gold continues this road will
assume an importance approaching the
intentions of its promoters.
