Long was a passenger and Groah the
pilot, was wrecked on the beach in the
sight of several thousand persons
Mrs. Long and Groah died at the Anna
Jaques hospital at Newburyport.
The plane had flown over Hampton
and Salisbury beaches on the course
which Groah used for his sightseeing
and stunt flights. 1t was only a few
hundred feet off the ground, over the
beach here, when it went into a nose
dive and came spinning down toward
the gaping crowds. The flyer did not
have altitude enough within which to
regain control and the plane crashed
on the beach.
Out of the crumpled wreck Mrs
Long was taken unconscious >and
barely alive. and was fastened to the
Anna Jaques hospital with the pilot
who appeared to be only slightly hurt
Both died within a short time, how.

I can see in fancy still
The white cottage on the hill.
The honeysuckle blooming By the door.
There the early beams Of morn
And softly crept along the kitchen .
Thefe were flowers Of every hue
hear. the drowsy humming Of the
And see the robins throng
pncs the rpe trim ane s1as
Whistlins down the grassy lane
To drive the patient kline to pastures
With a heart so light and gay
Sowing fancies all the way
In after years for memory's hand to
CLEAN.
Still the sunlight brightly falls
The honeysuckle fingers By the door,
But a sad voice in the breeze,
Softly echoed by the trees,
Is whispering. ."They will come again
no more"
Dear old cottage on the hill!
Art thou waiting. watching still,
With Longing longing for some dear familiar
Do the far-off early scenes
Shed halo DER thy dreams,
An afterglow that time can neer

Tideless time! thy cruel wave
Morning skies no more can lave,
But toward the unknown sea is flowing
Rolling backward nevermore

The ReIativity II Foreign Relations

The RsIativity 81 Foreign Relations
Much interest is manifested in the
prospective interview between Pres
ident Wilson and Governor Cox, the
Democratic nominee. Mr.. Cox is, by
all the signs. not Mr.. Wilson's first
nor second choice Cor his successor
and IL not exactly Of Mr.. Wilson's
opinion on all matters.
The news stories Of the proposed
interview deal largely with the diff
ferences between the two men on the
treaty and league. This may be only
natural, but questions Of foreign pol
icy have overshadowed domestic
problems pretty largely. for nearly
two years. It seems as If it were
nearly time to devote fair share Of
our political attention to our own af-
fairs. We have no intention Of ignor-
ing or belittling our foreign relations
but we do not believe they and they
almost alone, should become the CEN
ter around which American politics
revolve. Foreign relations have q
place, and a larger place in the fu-
ture than in the past, bat until our
own house is in order we are hardly
in a position to devote our chief tai
ents to our interest in the affairs Of
other nations.

Poverty Of Principle and Plsnituds
Of Piff1e

Poverty of principle is glaringly
revealed in the key note" of the
COMMITTEE of 4s" by resurrection Of
that frayed. bedraggled shibboleth
special privilege" Loose mouths
have spit that in the faces Of many
generations. Special privilege there
has been and will be until the millen-
ium: the fight against it is not con-
fined to any class or locality. 1t has
been nurtured and cultivated by
demagogues and political buns since
politics originated. 1t is the staff on
which the regime Of Lenin and Trot-
sky this Cay leans for support. 1t Is
what the Committee of 4s" now
seeks through so-called government
control of public utilities, knowing as
they do that those who might con-
troll politics would for personal ad-
vantage make special privilege Of ev-
cry one of these. ITO raise the cry;
to summon the people is our solemn
responsibility and our sacred duty"
o, yes. indeed!
Is it for this alone that pro-Ger-
mans and sublimated sore-heads ap-
peal to LaFollette? Read this from
the "key-note:" Consider the actual
Nnndjttnno ,rndnr which
After years of secret slavery the Re-
publican party and the Democratic
party come into the open and reveal
themselves to themselves and to the
nation as nothing but the right wing

Of prey"
y Astounding! But just for mo-
ment please consider the considera-
ton. Special privilege to be abol-
ished by government ownership Of
the basic resources Of the country.
Consider again that If this were done
these would pass under the manage
ment of a government run by these
slaves of the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties; in other words would
be run by those who have made of
the two great parties, which include
most Of the voters Of the land, 1.-The
right wing and the left wing Of the

Nice sort Of management, that!

No Punch to
New York Rent Laws

New York, July 1.-THE new state
rent laws are ineffective and have
not deferred profiteering landlords
from continuing rent gouging as
saults on thousands Of tenants in
New York City, according to Leo
Kenneth Mayer. chief counsel for the
Mayors Committee on Rent Profit
eering.
The landlords are adopting di-
verse methods to circumvent the new
laws, Mr.. Mayer declared, and have
been successful to a certain extent.
The three chief lodges employed
by the landlords as outlined by
Counsel Mayer are to:
? Notify tenants that their leases
will not be renewed unless they are
willing to pay exorbitant rentals. If
they refuse to meet this increase the
tenants are then ousted by due pro-
cess of the law.
Notify tenants that the premises
have been sold on the cooperative
ment, If they will pay the exorbitant
sum asked.
Show a higher valuation on their
property by inter-transfer of prop
erty through alleged sales and thus
be able to extract higher rental.
The first method, according to Mr..
Maher, Is the most popular but is
rather slow as it takes from one
month to one year to legally evict a
tenant.
The cooperative selling plan, he de-
clared, was one Of the new inventions
Of the landlords to exploit the tenant.
The transferring of property on the
pretense OF making a bona fide sale
and thus increasing the valuation Of
the premises is one Of the latest
lodges. Mr. Mayer explained. BY
this method, the landlord sells" to a
relative or business partner, then
buys" the property back again and
thus runs up the valuation. which
will command a higher rental under
the state laws.
The entire legal staff Of the rent
committee has been placed at the
disposal Of tenants in their fight
against the rent prof1teer. Land
lords who are inclined to be fair are
meeting their tenants in the offices
Of the committee and are arranging
new leases with their tenants on def
mite terms.
The rent committee which has been
in operation for Is months has ham
died more than $4,000 cases Of which
$4,000 have been settled in and out of
court. OF the remaining cases. 5000
are listed as hopeless and no settle
ment is possible.
There is a constant flood Of COM
plants into the committees office.
which is visited by about 5000 ten
ants every week.
The committees office staff Of sew
en-, according to Mr. Mayer. handles
more than 1000 complaints by mail
daily besides from $50 to 800 tele-
phone calls.
The committee which Is maintained
as a municipal department is making
an investigation Of these claims and
furnishing legal talent free Of charge
to oil worthy cases.

A Cure For leprosy7

The impossible has perhaps been
accomplished once more. It may be
too soon to make positive statements
but it is believed by prominent Mas
sachusetts medical authorities that a
cure has been found for leprosy. Two
men at the Penikese island colony
have been treated with chemulga oil,
the product Of an East Indian plum
tree, and in the opinion of the Mas
sachusetts deputy State health COM
missioner have been entirely cured of
the disease and more than that, rem
dered immune from further infection.
These men are to be frequently ex-
amined by a board Of physicians and
if found wholly free from leprosy,
will probably be paroled from the
island and allowed to return to their
families.
1t seems almost beyond belief that
a cure should have been found for a
disease which has bafiied doctors for
centuries and dragged it's loathesome
course over the bodies of countless
human beings. And yet. why should
it be thought strange that the per-
sistent will and tireless energy of
men who have elected to battle with
the hardest problems Of life should
not ultimately reach the goal sought ?
Medical miracles are not such rari-
ties to this modern scientific genera
ton. The advance Of medical sci
ence in recent years has been almost
as steady as it has been phenomenal.
Successful treatments have been dis
covered for numbers Of ills formerly
considered fatal and improved meth
DDS Of care have been evolved for
patients a1aicted with diseases of
whatever sort.
Should the present hopes and be-
liefs Of these physicians who are ex.
perimeztins on leprous patients
prove tokbe actually realized. another
momentous event Of importance II
the entire race will have to be re-
corded. All praise to those who labol
to decrease the list Of "incurable'
diseases!
