THE ORLANDO FURIOSO.

The first edition of the Orlando Furioso, Of Lodovico Ariosto, one of the great classics of Italian literature, was published just four centuries ago, in 1516 Aristo, "the F'errarese Ho- mer," whose name is held in much the same veneration by Italians as is that of Shakespeare in English speaking countries and Voltaire in France, was born at Reggie, in Lombardy. 442 years ago today. In his masterpiece, the Orlando Furioso,'' he sought to celebrate in a great poem the origin of the house of Este. The loves and exploits of Bradamante and Rugger- iero, imaginary ancestors of that house. form the basis of his epic, the subject of which is the war of the Saracens against C7hrlemagne. In addition to his immortal masterpiece, Ariosto wrote a number of satires on the politics and rulers of his time, and his "Negromanto' and "zanotti' al- most entitle him to be called the father of Italian comedy. In his great work he presents a succession of varied and always natural pictures of the heroisms of the knights and the loves of ladies, and many of his si- miles are unsurpassed in simplicity and grace.

AUGUST SONG

will sing a song of August,
 Others sing of June, March and May and lady April,
 With her dripping shoon; I will sing a song of August,
 Locusts in the trees, Drowsy fields and drifting swallows
 And the drone of bees. I will sing a song of August,
 When the morning awakes, Like a maiden, clad in jewels
 Coming down the lakes. August, when the gray mists gather
 Drift and shift and wane, And the drench upon the laurel
 Flashes as fromi rain. I will sing a song of August,
 Sudden clouds that race, Like a troop of mighty shadows
 Over Heavens face, August, when the hush of monday Shatters, and rent Gleams/a dazzling, endless minute,
 Down the Armament. I will sing song of August,
 When the stars. alight, Glow liked ripping sapphires.
 In the robes of Night; August, when the katydids
 And crickets by the streams, Chant the tired truants march
 Over the road to dreams. Q

ROUMA.NIA COMES IN.

The Allies are now reaping the fruits of the unexpectedly quick recovery of the Russians, of the wise insistence of General Joffre upon the retention of the army at Saloniki and the conyer- sion of that city into base of oper- ations against Bulgaria and Turkey Rumania has been drawn in and Greece will almost certainly follow the example. These accessions are of de- cisive significance. Neither of the two new helligerents, if there are two, has proposed to take any chances. Their readiness to participate can be inter preted only in one way. The war is won It is only a question of how large the victory will be. The Ru- manian government must be acting on the knowledge that Austria Hungary is on the verge of collapse, and that military pressure steadily exerted over a more extended front will break down the resistance of the Austro- Hungar- ian army and permit the occupa tiol of the territory coveted by the neigh |bors of the Dual Monarchy.-The New Republtc

w. w. JACOBS, FAMOtJR AUTHOR, WAS A CLERK
 FOR MANY YEARS

William Wymark Jacobs, the Eng fish novelist, who has a large follow ing on this side of the Atlantic as well as in his native island, was born in London 5 years ago today. After re- ceiving an education in private schools he secured an appointment as a CIVIL service clerk. He was engaged in the savings bank department where he remained from 1883 to 1889.
 It was while he. was still holding his government clerkship that he made his first ventures into the realms or literature. Although his work was lit tie short of drudgery, and young Ja- cobs had lived an uncommonly un- eventful life, his earliest work and much of his. later fiction dealt with the exploits of red-blooded men of ac- tion. In his leisure hours the aspiring author haunted the London water front, and listened with open ears to the thrilling and amazing yarns spun by the tars. These sea yarns, some- what embellished by the fervent inn agination of the author, formed the groundwork of his literary success. The first book bearing the II; me of W. w. Jacobs as author was Many Car goes,' which was published 20 years ago. It was followed in 1897 by "The Shippers Wooing,' land in 1898 by "The Sea Urchins." These early works were SO successful that MT. Jacobs re- signed his clerl<ship and devoted his entire time to literature. Shortly af- forwards he married Miss Agnes Eleanor Williams, who has given him two sons and two daughters. Besides his many popular sea tales, he co1lab- orated in the writing of the play, Beauty and the Barge"

HALE URGES ALL MAINE MOOSE TO. VOTE FOR WILSON
Plays Progressive Party Lead CTS for Treachery to Their
 Followers.
Especial to The Farmer.)

Dover, Me, Sept. S-Matthew Hale Progressive National Committee, in an address here last night urged Maine Progressives to help secure the re- election of President Wilson by voting the Democratic ticket at the state elec- ton next Monday.
 "We have no candidate of our own, thanks to the treachery of our na- tional leaders to whom we had in- trusted our interests" he said. We have, however, a great responsibility toward the Progressive movement in this coming election; for the result of the election in November, as is con- |eeded by Democratic and Republican leaders, depends on the Progressive vote We now have it in our power to re-elect MT. Wilson or elect MT. Hughes. How shall we exercise that power?
 Some tell us this no longer is an open question, because our vote al- ready has been delivered to MT. Hughes. This is not true, because the Progressive men and women of this country are not the kind whose vote can be delivered by small group of political bosses and Wall Street capi- talists, acting together to- defeat the wishes of the rank and file of the party, as made manifest by the Pro- gressive National convention last June and by the action of many state or ganizations since then"
 MT. Hale then diecussedi the quail fications of both candidates and their views on national questions.

SENATE RATIFIES PURCHASE TREATY
 FOR DANISH ISLES
Votes for Treaty Without Roll Call-Attempt to Reduce
 Price Killed.

Washington, Sept. 8.-The Senate last night ratified the treaty providing for the transfer of the Danish West Indies from Denmark\to the United States for the consideration of $25,- 900, ,000.t Senator Norris moved to re- duce the price to $10,00O,000. but the motion was defeated by large ma-. jority. ,
 There was no roll call anl less than half a dozen members, including Sem ators Norris, Jones and Clapp, voted against it.
 At 5:15 o'clock the Senate went into executive session to consider the treaty. It was the purpose of the members of the Foreign Relations Committee to ratify the, treaty, and then recess until S:30 or 9 o'clock, when the report of the conference on the Revenue Bill was expected.
 At 8 o'clock an argument arose be- tween Senators Stone and Williams on, the one side and Jones and Norris on the other. It was contended that a legislative day, when fhe rules pro- vide for, had not elapsed since the committee reported tn treaty favor ably. To answer this argument the Sendle duJOuTIlcu lHSlcdo Ol TCCcSSlllS for few minutes, so as to meet on another legislative day.
 Four bells rang, indicating adjourn ment, and the doors were opened. Soon Senators realized that adjourn ment' had brought confusion. Sena- tor Smith of Georgia claimed 1egis- lative day had elapsed since the treaty was reported and that the record showed Sept. and that no other leg islative day could come on that cal- endar day. Senator Stone refused to discuss the matter ot the day of the month.
 The Senate met again at S:30 and neither the Vice President nor Sena- tor Clarke, the President pro tenn, was on hand. A note from MT. Clarke auth orizing Senator James to call the body toherder and proceed with busi- ness was read by the clerk. No preacher was present to open the day with prayer, although Sergeant at Arms Higgins had sent runners cut to get some one to pray.
 The moment the gavel fell Senator Stone moved an executive session. Senator Smith of Georgia protested, saving that the record showed leg islative day on Sept. '. and could not show another. Senator James put the Stone motion and the Senate re- sumed the consideration of executive business behind barred doors, and changed the record so as to read ''re- cess'' instead of 'adjournment."

OUR COURTS AND POLITICS.
Congressman Hefiin Deplores a Ten
 dency Toward Tainted Justice.

If our fathers in the early days were so careful to guard the Supreme Court against partisan influence and political ambition, with what scrupu- lous care should we guard it now. when sinister interests appeal more to the power of the purse than to the principle of the patriot. When they seek to coerce the voter, make barter of the ballot, and undertake to buy the highest office within the gift of the people. Sinister interests with po- 1ftical influence in too many instances have been able to work their will in local courts at the expense of justice and to the detrirnent and great injury of the citizen involved. Now, if any citizen, however humble and obscure, feels that the constitution has been violated and political influence and partisan prejudice have operated ito deny him justice, he can go to this non partisan tribunal, beyond the reach and taint of partisan considera- tion and there receive justice.
 That court is the rich mans rock against improper judgments. the poor mans shelter against judicial tyranny, the city of refuge for both capital and labor, and the peoples mighty strong hold of justice against injustice. The feeling of respect and appreciation on the part of the people for our Su- preme Court and their abiding faith in its integrity and in it's love of justice have done more to inspire patriotism and strengthen the republic than any other influence in the country.
 ...I have heard of a state in this Union where it is said that one of the Supreme Court judges was ambitious to be governor. One day a case of considerable Importance came up for consideration. The parties on one side of the suit were men of great po- litical influence, and it is said that this judge expressed friendship for their side, took charge of the case. wrote his opinion, and later announce ed his candidacy for the office of gov- ernor MT. Spencer, if this precedent which drags the Supreme Court into politics, is established, and we say to our SupRIne Court judges. hereaftef you are at liberty to court political influence and seek political office, fear that some time some judge may play politics at the expense of justice and sacrifice human rights upon the altar of political ambition.

of the real character of the man, who has enslaved her heart, and how later she finds him making ardent love to her pretty and innocent step-daughter, whom she saves from ruin at the cost of her own reputation, forms a story brfnful of thrilling incidents and dramatic surprises. \
 Wonderful Madame Petrova, justly acclaimed as the most gifted emo tiona1 artist, now appearing on either the stage or the screen, again makes her bow to Metro audiences in this distinctive production from the Den of Aaron Hoffman, picturized ex- clusiyely for the Metro program by Popular Plays eand Players, under the direction of Francis J. Brandon. In every Metro screen production in which Madame Petrova has appeared. this famous star has achieved a real triumph of art and in this, her latest contribution to the silent drama, she has set a new high mark. Her two most recent successes were What Will People Say?' and "The Soul Market and her many admirers will find in Playing With Fire" all that delighted them in these two superb photodramas as we'll as many new and novel effects and tense situations which belong exclusively to the pres ent production. MT. and Mrs. Sidney Drew will furnish the comedy with their very latest laugh, Sweet Char ity," and another big thriller of the detective order will be "'HThe Great Python Robbery" Bentley's com pIete orchestra will be there as usual with a brand new program of new and popular music.
