men, which the league is sponsoring;
and I reread letter from Mrs. Flor
ence Kelley received on January ~ IN
which she said, You will, / know, do
what you can to help along the Casey
Bill. 1t is in need of newspaper pub
licity and of letters to Senators and
members of Congress urging a prompt
and favorable vote. If it fails of pas
sage before March 4th, all the weary
work for it will have to be done over
again." and the idea of these women,
banded together for the never ending
fight for humanity, having even sex
relationship to the "neutrals" who
wished to preserve their neutrality"
was distasteful to me.
For the constant demands upon wo-
men today to declare for the right
against the opposition of evil, no wo-
man who has any public spirit, any
sense of her relation to the community
in which she lives, any awakened
spiritual conscience, but would resent
being called a "neutra" as she would
being called a shirk.
The suffragists are not 'neutrals";
they are red-blooded partisans for the
cause of righteousness. They are wo-
men, the country over who stand and
have always stood behind all the great
reforms; who glory in the fact that
they have convictions and are not
afraid to assert them; who are ready
and anxious to take the added bur-
den" of the ballot, should it prove an
added burden, in order that they may
have the added power to enforce re-
forms; and who scorn the idea of
shirking citizenship because they "are
already -burdened"
In the Hall of Fame" where stand
Esther, Aspasia, Cornelia - Ruth,
Naomi and the three Marys, there is
no place for "neutrals."
In the divine comedy Virgil leads
Dante to the Ante He'll and there ex-
plains the significance of the dwelling
place;
This miserable fate
Suffer the wretched souls Of those
who lived
Without praise or blame, with that ill
OF angels mixed who nor rebellious
stood
Nor Yet were true to God, but for
themselves
Were only-Fame of them the world
hath none.
Nor suffers; mercy and justice scorn
them both,
Speak not Of them. but look and pass
them by"

Daily Kennebec journal., 1917-02-07

Tuesday morning we heard many
compliments from the people OF Angus
IN for the street commissioner. Wheh
business men and employees went home
late Monday evening from their stores
and Offices. they found the Sidewalks
nicely cleaned off. and good walking
where they had expected to find drifts
and difficult travel. And on Tuesoay
morning the earliest abroad In the
stree, found the sidewalks in splenoio
condition for the early travel.
We wish TO add our commentator
20 the general approval that we nave
heard, and to suggest that the street
commissioner ir one OF our northern
cities has better opportunities to win
general public approval. or to earn the
disapproval Of the citizens on sidewaik
conditions alone than in almost any
other position. II he is thoroughly aLFe
20 this opportunity for making fnends
ana winning the gratitude of the citi-
ECnS, he can 40 81 Win is''S - ''
greater cost to the city than IL he con-
fined himself tc the business hours OF
the day for doing his work. After a
big storm. II the street commissioner
would always have his men and teams
out. in time to go through tho city
streets before the earliest shop-goers
set forth, he would be sure TO hold their
respect and approval.
Il Is suggested by a business man
that u would cost no more for dozen
teams two hours, than II would for SIX
teams four hours, and that many own
ers of teams W, uld be glad of the op-
portunity after a big storm and delay
of all kinds of business, to put on
teams for street service for an hour or
two I'm the very early morning. before
they berin their regular days work.
The suggestion seems a good one to
MS. and we pass it along for any good
that u may do. The street commits
sioncr has certainly made an admirable
start. after one Of the worst storms
experienced in years. and 1t may help
las feelings TO know that the general
public approves.

Two Loves.

One was a child's romance.
A girls bewildering dream,
Woven of fire and dew
And moonlight's silver gleam:
ot the fragrance of the rose
The glory of the stars,
The flash of sparkling waters.
The sunsets golden bars,
thing of smiles and bushes,
Quick thrills and throbbing heart
A strange. mysterious glamour
That bade the teardrops start
One was a woman's love-
Woven of many strands,
Richer than braided gold,
Stronger than iron bands:
A love that holier grew
Through all the changeful years.
That clasped close hands with Joy.
Yet wavered not for tears
A love that loved through all things.
Through sorrow, pain and DEATH
Through all the bliss and all the bane
To which life answerets!
