The Wind From Maine.


wind that's from the rocks and sea
and scented by the pine
Sweeps through the sycamores today,
and where sequoias line
The ranks Of giant sentinels that guard
the western slopes,
The balsam of this briny breeze brings
heavy hearts new hopes.
The mountains and the rivers cry the
message that Is Names
To men whose pride was shattered,
and their desperation wanes;
Again their hearts are raised to look
the future In the face
For Maine has been the clarion that's
heartening race.
Twas shame that sunk the souls of us
to depths we never knew
In days our flag was honOred In the
harbors where 1t few,
When nations paid us homage, for
they knew our hands were white.
Ere blood Of our own countrymen had
stained them like a blight.
And now again our songs we sing Of
deeds that we must do
To make the dream that passed away
come marvelously true;
For the sturdy souls that breathe the
pine have brought to life again
The faith that fills nations heart
that feels the wind from Maine.

PUBLIC OFFICER SHOULD
STAND LIKE A ROCK

Government under pressure
Is not American Government.
Whenever pressure Is applied to
any public officer he ought to
stand like rock and say: Here
otand until we substitute rea-
son for force. 1t Is not an
American doctrine to IegisIate
first and investigate afterward.'"
MIR. Hughes In His Speech at
Portland, Maine.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1916-11-03
Mr.. WILSON YIELDED PART
~ TO FEAR, PARTLY TO
HOPE OF POLITICAL
PROFIT.

President Wilson yielded to
the dictation Of the heads Of the
Brotherhoods, and made no eff
fort to find out whether the de-
mand was right or wrong. He
made no effort to find out wheth-
er Ii could be complied with
without raising freight rates. He
made no effort to find out all
the equities In the case; those
affecting the men, those affect
ing the stockholders, those af-
fecting the shippers. He took
his orders from that one of the
parties In interest which he
most feared. He insisted that
the law be passed without in
quiry. And then he deferred the
operation of the law until after
election, which, Of course, could
only have been done for political
reasons. The question
at issue was not that Of an eight
hour day at all. The question
was whether President and Con-
gress should enact law, with
ont investigation and without
knowledge, to give increased
wages to certain portion of
the body Of wage earners. The
labor leaders on this issue, with
out regard TO the right or wrong
Of the matter, first coerced the
President, and then with his aid
cOerced Congress. The question
at issue was not one of the hours
of labor. 1t was one of wages.
And it was settled by the Presi-
dent and Congress without in
yestigation and without knowl-
edge. The settlement was due
partly to fear, and partly to hope
of political protit.-FrOm the
Speech of Colonel Roosevelt at
Battle Creek, Michigan, in Be
half of Mr.. Hughes.

DEMAND WAS NOT FOF
EiGHT-HOUR DAY.

Gi1rI -HOOh OAr.
ut is said that the Judgment
Of society has made the demand
for the eight-hour day. This was
not an eight-hour day, and the
Judgment of society had nothing
to do with the proposition laid
before Congress and passed by
Congress. The proof Of this Is
found in the bill itself, which
proposes an investigation to find
out whether Congress had any
business to do the thing which
II was asked to do, and which
II did do."-Mr. Hughes In His

nately II is not without engaging quail
ties. There are those. mostly beyond
the city limits, who can thrill TO such
a sentiment as Were all going back
20 Kansas City for a breath of fresh
air" and there are those who can laugh
az IL
Hodge plays for believers and skep-
ties. II you can't take Fixing Sister"
as a comedy, you may find it amusing
as a burlesque.
Lord haggett IS perhaps the most
villanous scion of an effete European
aristocracy whom William Hodge ever
set out 70 foil. This deyilish Londoner
with his slick city ways rad no trouble
whatever in fooling two unprotected
women from the urban centre OF Mis-
souri,. He stole cigars, he cheated at
roulette and bridge, he made love 20
both women and he tried to effect a
loan Of sl25,000 with no more security
than a mythical Haggett Manor. OF
course, the women could not be ex-
pected 20 know that there was no
such place as Haggett Manor, as the
miscreant had shown
them photographs OF the place.
But Hodge. or John Otis. 20 give his
NAA ANA4e y d NNN oillaA
10 be fooled by any such clever trick.
Although not so stated in the play, IL
may be inferred that Otis was the
sort of person who would not rashly
buy the Brooklyn Bridge from a
stranger, even though the man pointed
il out 20 him.
Otis suspected Haggett from the first
act. When he discovered that the Eng
lishman was trifiing with the affections
of his sister Otis was somewhat an
noyed. Later, upon finding out that the
London lord was also after the hand
Of the woman he loved, the ero became
angry. In fact, Otis was so irritated
by this time that even a little thing
like the discovery of wires under the
roulette wheel added 10 his quiet but
all consuming rage. Imagine anybody
but person from Kansas City expect
ing to find a straight roulette wheel!
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-10-05

However. the author has put in one
false touch in regard to the gambling
He maintains that il is just as painful
20 lose your money 20 a lord as 20
commoner. This We deny. Five years
sgo we met Christopher Mathewson
for the first time in poker game, and
IL was with almost an ecstatic feeling
that we gave + in a check for S4.e5.
Otis has fun with Lord Haggett be-
fore he finally exposes him. Somewhat
unfairly, he secretly removes the wiz
ing from the roulette wheel, and the
lord loses money, and when the gaming
party is at its height fake raid IS
engineered, also by the connivance OF
Otis. In the last act the Englishman
is exposed and everybody returns TO
Kansas City and happiness.
Hodge retains his ability 70 put lines
over effectively in his droll. quiet man
ner, but il must be admitted that his
bad trick Of blinking IS growing upon
him. The play, o. course, is devised
with the single thought Of Hodge.
Forcible feeding you might call Il. Not
more than once or twice IN the course
of the evening is anybody allowed 20
score off the hero.
In one respect Hodge is not so
homespun as usual. John Otis allows
himself 20 appear at party in full
dress suit OF evening clothes. Daniel
Voorhees, Pike would never have coun-
tcnancei such a weakness.

TRESPASSERS
DESTROY SCHOOL PROPERTY

Some young hoodlums, old enough
to know better, trespassed upon the
Phoebe school grounds last Wednes-
day evening and demolished the tet-
ering boards recently installed on the
school grounds for the amusement of
the younger children. The board
has been advised who the young mis-
fits are and it is probable that some
drastic action will be taken, unless
the young people or their parents
pay the expense of making repairs.
The public school grounds is no place
for moonlight spooners, particu-
larly those who fancy that they can
go, in and demolish public property
at their will There is a law COW
ering such cases and it is likely to
be applied if any more school prop
erty is damaged or destroyed
