WV. II. TAFT IN sK0WHEGAN
Continued from First Page


rected by Elmer f. Towne furnished
additional music. The Introductory
remarks were made by Carleton Z.
Merrill, who said in part:
Young ladies and gentlemen:
As | look out upon you
question if the gentleman who
is to address you has often spok-
en- before a brighter and more in
teresting audience than these boys
and girls representing the
schools of Skowhegan and Madi-
son. Therefore | would assure
you that | take as much pride in
Introducing you to President Taft
as | do introducing President
Taft to you"
AT the Opera House in the evening
a large and very attentive audience
listened to the address which was the
choice of Skowhegan people out of
the list of several which Mr. Taft de
liyers. He told what the Monroe
Doctrine was, as announced in the
message of President Monroe to Con-
sress and dwelt particularly upon its
limitations and implications. He
also devoted quite a portion of the
address, which lasted about one and
quarters hours to topics upon
Preparedness. The discourse through
out was scholarly collection of facts
combined with original ideas upon
current events of national Importance
He was introduced by A X. Butler,
Esq, who courteOusly said:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
When the history OF Skowhe-
gan is written, the one event in
the life of the town which will
stand out more prominently than
any other. will be the gathering
of this evening. On this Occa-
sion we are permitted to listen
to an address by one who has
been so closely identified with the
affairs of our Nation for many
years. that his name is as famil-
lar to each of us as is the name
of our next door neighbor His
legal training, his experience ON
the bench and his service as the
head of the Nation, have peculiar
ly fitted him to discuss that great
principle of our government the
Monroe Doctrine. which is the
subject of this evenings address
Mr. Taft and f. W. Cram of Bangor,
who accompanied him here were en-
tertained at the home of F. ".
Briggs during their brief stay in
town, both taking the special train
for Wateryille after the lecture. Mr..
Taft could not have remained longer
in Skowhegan, however much he may
have wished to do so. as he WAS
scheduled to speak at st. Johnsbury.
Vt. on the following evening. A
special train from Wateryille brought
a number of down river people to lis
ten to the address while many up
river citizens came by trolley from
Madison. Taken all in all it was an
event which will not be soon forgot
ten in the town. neither should the
efforts of several of our citizens who
were responsible for Mr. Tafts APP
pearance be overlooked. as it was
through their activities that Skowhe-
gan was honored by one of the Unit
ed States most prominent personages
of the present age.

dealing with actual invasion. Now
all our talk of preparedness is
against a theoretical enemy. one that
quite possibly will never materialze.
Nevertheless. >the last verse of the
poem has a message for the present
times and We will let it tell its own
story.
A voice in the darkness, a knock at
the door,
And a word that shall echo for ever
more.
For. borne on the night wind OF the
past.
Through all our history to the last.
In the hour of darkness and peril
and need,
The people will wal,en and listen To
hear
The hurrying hoof beats of that
steed.
And the midnight message of Paul
Revere.

LongfeIIow Historically
Correct

Every New Highlander loves the
Landlords Tale" more often spok-
en- of as Paul Revere's Ride. The
long headed plan by which Paul and
his friend schemed to spread abroad
the earliest news of the British
march from Boston to Lexington and
Concord, during the night of the
Eighteenth of April, in 49, has a
quality in it that appeals in most
striking way to our patriotic spirit
and love of history. In reading It,
one may bring to mental view Bos-
ton harbor where the hated man-of-
war, Somerset, was the principal fig
ure on that night when Revere
waited impatiently on the north bank
of the Charles for the light to show
in the North Church belfry. Tuesday
of this week was the Hist anniver-
sary of Paul Reveres famous ride. II
We now had the same problem TO solve
of warning the inhabitants of every
MluulUStA AllidEt anu la III VI sunni
threatened danger, We should prob
ably do it by telephone. If there was
a possibility that some sympathZer
of the enemy might hear our CON
versation and give us away we should
get out on the road with an automo-
bile or motorcycle. We should get
tie same result which Paul did with
much less inconvenience, but the in
cident would lack the picturesque
framework for Longfelow's stirring
verses.
One may yet go over the exact
route which Revere followed in his
ride and a visitor to Boston could
hardly devote time to better purpose
About IS years since, in company
with William NJ Baily, once we'll
known Skowhegan youth, the writer
climbed the tower of the Old North
Church, by the trembling ladder steep
and tall, said to be the very one upon
which Paul's friend climbed with his
two lanters. 14l years ago. The old
building still stands, an object of al
most sacred interest to any lover of
history.
1t has been widely reported that
the night of April 18th, 1775, was not
moonlight night, as Longfellow
states in his poem Those who have
questioned the poets accuracy in this
respect claim to know that the moon
did not rise until three or four a. m.
on the morning of the 10Th. Curious
to learn the real facts in the case we
recently submitted the question to
the Boston Public Library Their
reply establishes beyond question
that the moon rose at 9.45 p. m. on
the evening of April IS, 1775. Just
as the moon rose over the bay"
would therefore Indicate that Paul
rowed across to the Charleston shore
about 10 O'Clock.
The story of Paul Reyere's ride
gains renewed interest from the fact
that we are now talking much about
the same problem that Revere and
his comrades had to face Be it re-
membered, however, that they were
