What South Must Pay

This may be an unpleasant statement,
but any one with ordinary intelligence
knows il is true one. And it is not
meant by this that one Of the prices
the South will have 20 pay is misceg

North does not offer this, and never did
offer il, and no negro OF common sense
aspires 70 Il or expects II in either sec

as diligent and fair N preserving sani-
tary conditions among the negroes as il
is among the whites. In the South the
negro must have as fair a deal in the
courts and before the law as the white
man. In the South he must receive as
fair wages for his work as the white
man. IT, the South does not see that he

For the first time I'm able
And willing to tell
Why it was that Troy fell.
1t happened that Helen one morning feeling
Too idle to work and too langud to play.
Her moods she made little attempt at concealing
She was out of job, as we'd put it to-day;
And So having nothing whatever to do,
She called out to Paris: 81 can't see, can you.
WIZ women don't share in the government, toe?
Now Pariss conduct had given some handle
Of late to scandal.
In fact most of Troy did not scrupe to say
That the Prince was slacker-had run from the fray
Though his friends said goddess had snached him ava!
So he answered-as men in his ticklish position
Will answer to-day-that the natural condition
Of women was weakness protected the right
To govern belonged to the sex that could fight
That only fighter deserved to be free
And Helen observed with some meaning: Il see.
Not liking her tone Paris shouted my Beauty,
You'd lose all your power; you'd lose your romance.
81 know" she replied, "but think it's my duty
To give palmer women a bit of chance
Andromache too when they put it to her,
Said she had to that to change was to err
And that things arranged very well as tney were
(Andromache CHANGED at this time to enjoy
A power which few other women have won.
AS the dozed wife of the hero OF Troy;
Whatever Andromache wanted was done
But poor lady it's said. that before she was dead
She had thoroughly altered her mind on this head)
But Hecuba the ancient queen.
Who never, never yet had seen
Aught but risk and shame and danger
To her dear-beloved Troy
In the gold-haired Grecian stranger
Kidnapped by her younger boy.
Hecuba wise and DID,
By her mother had been told
That when women vote they lose ~.
All the charms they ever had,
So she saw that she could use
Helen's latest. lightest fad
She could use it to destroy
Helen's self-the bane of Troy.
So Hecuba went to King Priam at once and ne wrote
(She still had her indirect influence left her, you see)
An edct bestowing on women the vote
A Hateful decree
At once DER Troy there a change.
Sudden. terrible and strange.
Helen in an instant's space
Lost her beauty and her grace
Grew in fact so plain of face
That men murmured with cold, pallid lips:
rs this the face that launched ten thousand ships
And Andromache just waited
For the edct promulgated
To explain she'd always hated
Home; she thought it antiquated-
Not her sphere at all, she stated
Paris who most people thought,
Never had exactly sought
Danger now could not be brought
To put on his armor bright.
Even Hector would not fight
All the heroes felt their knees
Shaking just like aspen-trees
All the women ceased to please,
And began to nag and tease,
And the babes of all degrees,
Left neglected in breeze,
Gave simultaneous sneeze
So the Waterman dropped the keys
Of the gates for things like these
Always happen, you will note,
Where the women have the vote
You don't think so? Really! Well,
You do not deny Troy fell?

George AIDE is fifty years old, and the
famous humorist says in an article he
has written for the February American
Magazine:
The first lessons learned were those
of political hatred. We studied our

primer. | know now that Samuel J.
Tiden was a courtly old gentleman who
lived in Gramercy Park, but in. '76 be

Of the Golden Circle! The traitors at
tended church and travelled the straight
and narrow way, but they could not cover
the blackness of their souls with boiled
shirts.
"We believed that if the Democrats
won, the blacks would be returned to
slavery, the rebels would be pensioned,
the earth would slip on its axis and the
whole solar system would be disarrang-
ed.

who wore the oilcloth uniform and car
ried the smoky torch? He is circulating

HILLS ALIENATION CASE.
Law Court Sustains Verdict Which Was
Awarded A. C. Hills of Union,

A rescript from the Law Court sustains
the finding of the jury in awarding a
verdict of $2l42 SO to Alfred e. Hills of
Union in his suit against S. W. Paul of
Searsmont for alleged alienation of the
affections of plaintiffs wife. The case
was tried in April. 1916, in Rockland and
aroused considerable interest in Knox and
Waldo counties where both parties are
we'll known.
Hills claimed, on the stand, that he
been employed as overseer at the Paul
Ranch in North Searsmont, farm of
1000 acres, employing from 20 to so men,
and owned by Boston capitalist, The
defendant was manager of the property
and was alleged to have spent much time
in the home of the plaintiff, which was
situated on the ranch, during the latter's
absence from home, as a result of which
alienation and separation followed
Numerous witnesses, including en-
ployes of the farm, were summoned to
co roborate the plaintiff S version of the
affair. and the defendant was likewise
supported by friends and other employees
who substantiated his claim that owing
to i'll health he remained at the home of
Hills in order to be in touch with the bust
ness of the farm; his own home being
mile distant.
The motion for a new trial was over
ruled. Charles L. Smalley of Rockland
for plaintiff; H. C. Buzzell of Belfast for
defendant.

The shortage of freight cars, which
has added materially to the high cost of
living and created coal famine in many
places at time when this fuel is most
needed, is directly due to the legislation
against the railroads in the past few
years. Their running expenses have
been so increased, and their earnings so
decreased, through this legislation that
they have been unable to keep up their
eq lipment to meet the requirements of
ever an average business, and so are I'M
able to meet the present unusual de.
mand for cars. AS an illustration of
how the railroads are legislated against,
William M. Bradley of Portland, presi-
dent of the Portland Railroad Co., told
the. committee on labor at Augusta Jan.
31st that if the bill decreasing the hours
of labor to nine hours day was passed,
it would cost his company S45, 200 more
a year for wages. Of course this and
all other burdens must in the end be
borne by the patrons of the railroads,
the people.

The Lewiston Journal recently pub
lished an interesting article on "Some
Old Stage Route Taverns in Washington
County," in which mention is made of
the stage route from Machias to Lubec,
distance of 80 miles. The writer says
1.-The headquarters of the mail route
was at the hotel kept by Mathews Clare,
still in its remodeled form known as
Clare's Hotel. in the shire town." But in
the early days the headquarters was at
Matthew Clare's home and stable on a
street beside the river just above the
upper bridge to Dublin" and what
later became, Clare's Hotel was a two
story dwelling house occupied by DR..
Harwood, the representative of Boston
capitalists in building a large dam
and two mills some d stance above
the falls, about which the other mills
of the town were located. DR.. Har-
wood was dentist and on returning to
Boston became one of the leading dem
lists OF that city. In describing the road
, between Machias and Lubec we are sur
prised that the writer above quoted
should have made no mention of Sec
ton known as a"natural road, "and which
is recalled as composed of hard packed
gravel, always smooth and requiring NJ
repairs.
