The Pro- German Socialist Party.

Solomon W. Bates, prominent attorney
of this city and a leading Socialist. has
resigned his membership in that party
for the reason that he does not desire to
appear to be lacking in patriotism. Mr..
Bates in a statement said he was con-
WINGED that Socialism in this country had
gone hopelessly wrong and he could no
longer follow in its train. His letter OF
resignation is addressed to Miss Katrine
Brewster. secretary OF the Portland local.
Portland Press.
MANY Of our readers know of Charles
Edward Russell and are familiar with his
writings in some degree, They know
that prior TO the entry Of the Cniteo
States into the war Mr.. Russell was one
Of the comparatively few enlightened and
hroadminded men who gave standing
and following TO the Socialist party But
as Mr.. Bates has done, Charles Edward
Russell left the party when 1t took a
stand for sedition.
Returning from Russia as a member of
the commission sent to that country, Mr..
Russell points out the danger of peace
propaganda in the United Stotes. The
German intrigue in Petrograd bases its
most effective work upon reports of peace
agitation in the United States The Rus
SLAMS are told that America contemp plates
desertion of the new Russian democ-
racy. Mr.. Russell describes the effect OF
peace propaganda bluntly:
One peace resolution offered in the
United States Congress today is
greater asset to the kaiser than
thousand men on the firing line. Any
Socialist that does not understand
that this is the last final decisive
struggle between autocracy and de-
mocracy is too blind or too dull to
understand anything about socialism.
Loyalty to the United States gov
eminent in this crisis is loyalty to
every Ideal of improvement to which
we have subscribed. and lack Of
support is treason to every article Of
every creed of reform.
AS Mr.. Russell further observes:
II the men who are engaged In this
peculiar peace propaganda are !gnor-
ant OF the effect Of their work. they
are too hopelessly ignorant 10 be al
lowed to take any part in public life
and should be retired from It instant.
H. Ii they are not ignorant OF tia

Thomas w. Lawson of Massachusetts,
the famous flnancier and writer, has
seen the light. He has written let

thizes with them for having planted
lawns, ETC., now that there is every
evidence of bumper crops and no pro-
vision made by the state for canning
the excess vegetables.

says: In answer to the many calls for

Maine Gossip
Where Youth Abides.

elizabeth Powers Merrill)
When from SPANS shores Columbus
launched
His ships-equipped for dangerous quest,
Their prows set for a land unknown, z.
sailed, with him, to North, to west
When first l saw these radiant shores
Methought they were like shores Oh
heaven.
Such forests, made of singing leaves!
The gold of morn, the purple even!
Here would find the Spring OF Lie
And waken beauty, love- and truth.
Here would I drink eternal draughts
To bring me back my days OF youth!
I sought new fountains hour by hour
Drank of their waters day by day.
OF waters clearer than maids eyes;
But youth. from me, had passed away
One night when stars spoke to my soul
And light winds quivered over me
/ heard a Voice which said-"O Man.
Youth lies not over treacherous sea.
1t is not found in forest wild.
In scented grove. on mountain side,
The fount thou seekest is Within
Drink thou from that eternal tide!

From those I love, write them the
truth
Beloved. not in Old World or New.
But in mans soul the Fount of Youth.

the fields was working havoc with
the crop.
