Maine Gossip
The Old Tinker

elizabeth Powers Merrill.)
When was a child, the Old Tinker came
With his kit Of tools and song,
He sat in the low fashioned chimney seat
And mended the whole day long.
He mended the dippers and great tin
pans,
The coffee pot bent and gray.
He tinkered and tinkered and never
Till daylight faded away.
NY childish heart dubbed over with Joy
When he took the quaint clock down,
Carefully unscrewing the hands and face
With many a sigh and frown
Marvellous stories he told all the while,
OF days that would not return.
OF the wonderful lamp that Aladdin
How my childish heart did burn:
He told me the story Of Captain Kidd,
OF treasures beneath the sea!
He sung me song of Mandalay fair
OF pirates bold and free
He told me of giants and little dwarfs
In the islands far away.
OF the mountains that went right up to
Cod
Where all the good people stay!
The Old Tinker comes to the door no
more,
Other days are fast asleep.
And with them the dreams of my childish
mind
OF treasures ridden deep.
Sometimes when my thoughts go sailing
away
The Tinker comes back to me.
And hear those tales. and I see strange
AS in days that Used to Be!

An eastern Maine young man who is
working at getting out ship knees at
Bodfsh, on the line Of the Canadian
Pacific Railway, and who was among
those first called out in the draft, put
his case up to the district exemption
board in manly fashion. He said i've
been drafted and I've passed and I'm
ready to go. But I'm getting out ship
knees and I'll leave it to you to judge
whether am needed more in the army
as a fighter or to help supply the ma
terra. for ships" He was advised to
fill out exemption blanks and his case
Will be considered by the board, indi-
eating that they are half of the opin-
ion that he may be more useful in his
own work.

Associate Justice John B. Madigan
was in Dover Tuesday, among the
matters coming before him being an
application for admission to bail by
Algie Whiting and his wife, Lucy
Wittee Whiting, who are at present
confined to the county Jail awaiting
tie action of the grand jury upon a
charge of child murder brought against
them jointly.
The hearing was brief, no witnesses
being called and at one stage it ap-
peared that both would be admitted to
bail but upon the presentation by
Clerk of Courts Calvin W. Brown OF
the fact that Mr.. Writings first wife
is new in that vicinity and that her re-
peated threats against the present Mrs.
Whiting made it extremely probable
that some further violation Of law
might result if the pair were released,
the petition was denied. H. L. Smith,
ESQ, appeared for the petitioners ana
County Attorney J. H. Hudson for the
state. Judge Madigan also heard a re-
ferred action of forcible entry and de-
tainer between Abbot parties.

The road from Chappells to the river
is very good but that old hill on the
other side has just as many big rocks
as it had 10 years ago and they are
just as rough.
The roads in Greenwood are nc
better than the Newberry roads. II
going to Trinity, distance of ten
miles. we stopped to inquire the way
lit has been some time since We traV-
eled these roads, and a gentleman
who gave us directions said that Ii
was a peculiarity of the Saluda roads
to have a good many bitches across
the road and We found that he tolo
the truth. 1t may not be peculiar tc
Saluda, and We do not think it is, bu'
he is right about the ditcnes.
The crops are looking we'll and the
cotton Is coming to a good stand
though a good many farmers say tna'
the cold is killing the cotton. Mr.
J. 3. Scurry has the incest field o.
corn or the incest corn or both that
we have seen this year. 1t looks
good. And there are ether fields OF
good corn along the way.

oners at Andersonville. Davis be-
came impatient at the delay of his
trial. He had many admirers in the
North. including men as Horace
Greely, the editor, and many prom
inent Republicans. Finally It was ar
ranged to accept bail, and both sides
agreed on 100000 as the amount
The bail bond was signed by Mr..
Greely, August SchneM, a friend OF
commodore Vanderbilt, and fourteen
others. The court then discharged
the prisoners. This was in May, 1867,
after he had been held for two years.
The case against Davis was brought
up from time to time; and in Decem-
Der, 1853. there was a motion in the
United States Circuit Court of Vir-
glnia to quash the Indictment The
judges disagreed, but the general
amnesty proclamation by the presi-
dent on Christmas day, 1868, includ-
ed Davis. and as a result of it, In

We do not believe that this nation
is called upon to send to our new al
lies all it's wheat-or try to send 1t
and have it sunk in the sea-and let
its own people suffer. That is not the
kind of charity that the Bible teaches.
These nations have afflicted them
selves and We are not bound to bring
our own people to want in order to
help them. And enough food is be-
ing sunk In the ocean to feed the
world, and food is going 70 pe scarce
not only across the seas but here at
home if this thing keeps up. If those
who govern US and who have been in
authority over US have lost their good
minds is it not time for the people
themselves to take a hand, It Is all
q pretty theory to give liberty to the
world but what good will liberty to
the world do US or the world if we
starve ourselves. We started in this
thing to clear the seas and now We
are going to give liberty to the world
While we are doing it it is our duty
to our own to see that our people
have bread The Charleston Ameri-
can well and truly says:
Whatever has taken hold Of the
mind Of those who govern US. surely
it is time for the people to take a
hand. Do our lawmakers know the
suffering through which our people
are already passing Can they rec,
the pangs which already gnaw IN
hunger at the stomachs Of the poor!
Lost in the heights OF Capitol Hill,
with luxury on every side of their
marble and mahogany quarters, fiat
tered by the benedictions of the Bal
fours, these "boys from the farms
that we have sent to represent US, are
literally beside themselves. Like a
puff Of smoke they put seven billions
in taxes on the backs of their poor
cnstituents when bacon Is selling at
40 cents a pound and when ali the
wheat In the world even at $500 a
bushel is being sunk on its way to
England

We have never censured politi-
clan who happens to hold position
and has patronage under his contrI
for giving the positions to those who
are his political friends. That is but
natural. But at this time when there is
stress at home and when the nation is
in war and there is need for every
man to do his part and the govern
meut is calling for every man to DO
his bit it does seem that those IN
authority should be big enough TO
rise above little petty politics ana
know no faction. 1t may be that onry
those of one faction are competent
to serve In positions of honor and
emolument. If that be true then
they should fill the ranks Of the pri-
Yates as well. The governor has said
for three years now that be was in
favor of doing away WITH faction
alism, and yet so far as we have
been able to observe 1t Is true has
found position for those only who oe-
long to bis side Of the house. And
1t seems from the letter OF Congress
man Nichols that he has been 70
washington and requested the war
department to turn the whole war
situation in this State over to HIM.
and in contravention Of the statute
in such case made and provided. And
it is also stated that he has ignored
the adjutant general and the COM
missioner Of agriculture, in all ap-
pointments made.
Now we do not want any office or
position and have no personal inter
est in the matter except as a private
citizen. 1t is not enough as The State
says to go ahead and go to work. We
should work together and under or
ganized authority and there should
be no factional lines in this crisis.
And there should be no differences
among ourselves. There should be
no factiona or any other partian-
ships in this time of peril at home
and abroad. We need the help ana
the cooperation Of every one Of what
ever political or partisan afflliation.
In fact this is a time to lay aside all
differences.

Congress is now hearing protests
attacking the war tax bill as unfair
and threatening many industries. II
Is easy to vote bonds, but 1t is little
more difficult to pay the tax to pay
the bond, or even the iaterest. The
men who are reaping the benefit from
this war and who are making mill
lions out of 1t are the ones who
should pay the greater part OF the tax
to carry it on.

1t is very strange to us how some
who applied for training at Ogle-
thorpe were accepted and others
turned down. There must have been
some small politics played some
where. or very great partiality. We
know some who have not been ac-
cepted who in our view are very
much more qualified for positions OF
leadership than some who were
taken. We cannot understand how
any one who has been honored By
his fellow citizens can in crisis like
this which confronts the nation may
little politics. We may be mistaken.
and we hope we are, but it looks very
much that way to US. II We nave
done injustice to any one by reacnlng
such conclusion we shall be very
sorry, and hope that the reaching Of
such conclusion will not work any
injury. - Ga
It rather seems to US that Mr..
Hoover must have been reading The
Herald and News, he talks so sensi-
bly, about the food condition and what
should be done and about the specu-
lators being responsible for the pre-
Hailing prices that 1t sounds natural
like.
T is not the sea-, Of foodstufs
that has caused the Increase in the
prfce, bat rather the speculation that
has been going on. And the govern
ment is going on talking about 1t and
fixing to regulate until 1t comes time
for the producer to market and then
most likely something will be done to
put down the price and the producer
will not reap thesbeneit of the hign
price. There Is really no reasonable
reason for the high price of food
stufs except the interest OF the spec
ulator. When the government takes
him by the nape of the neck and
throws him over the battlemenrs o.,
the battery then it may lay claim to
having done something for the benefit
OF the government and may expect the
loyal and true support OF the man
who produces. Mr. Hoover we'll
says that he is assured that the
American farmer did not receive over
s1.e5 for his wheat, and today it is
selling at 1926. What we want is
something that will keep the specu~
lator from boarding his millions out
of the necessities of the producer and
letting the man who produces the
wealth and the bread Of the country
share just little in the profit.
