Not by the wise are the great things done.
For the wise are pleased with the things
that are;
They've charted he course OF the morning
And know the name Of each separate
star,
And it's ever the way OF The wise to cling
Tenaciously to an o.den thing.
Who ventures away from tho Travelled road
To follow his dream into realms afar,
Shall walk alone with his heavy load
For the wise sit down with the things
that are.
into the new must young man go,
But the wise say back on the roads they
know
Yet ever the wise give way 10 youth
And ever the old must fear the new
For never men come 20 the final truth
or the end OF things which their SKIN
shall do.
And ne who follows his dream, and tries
10 better The world, shall teach the wise.
Heed not the wise when they toll you nayl
Youth be brave as YOU build the newt
What though you're sCotfed. AT day by day
You shall win II the dream be true.
Linger not whore the wise men stand
Progress waits on your willing hand

The Maine Election and Cox.

Editor World; In an editorial today on the
results OF the election In Maine YOU say, THE
state OF Maine has repeatedly gone democratic, -
! now ask YOU TO print figurcs-actual national
election fgures--from 1864 to 1915 showing
what Maine did You know Maine has not gone
democratic repeatedly and II my memory serves
me right II has gone democratic once or pos
sibly twice IN that time.
by the way, is Cox making any more
speeches? one would not Judge so from your
columns ~ the only morning paper In this
field 1t is incumbent on you to print the news
tmpartially. Your editorial columns are the

partial news service II n newspaper Is TO func-
ton properly
Aside from this, however you have fine
sheet Yours truly
AN INDEPENDENT VOTER.
Editors Note-The figures our correspondent
calls for are too space aiming. Let IL be
admitted that our justification for the phrase,
has repeatedly gone republican" Is based alto
g'ther on the fact that Maine in 1910 gave a
democratic plurality Of S,753, In 1919 a demo-
cratic plurality Of E62O, and in 1914 a demo-
cratic plurality of 3,177. whether the term was

Editor World; II would seem that the state
administration is overlooking "A wonderful OPP
portunity to direct the attention OF the country
to the undevelopcd resources Of the state. That
fact that taxation was suspended for one year
would be unique and absolutely conclusive
argument In fayou Of the introduction Of new
blood and capital to develop the untold re-
sources Of this wonderful state. The money
saved to the taxpayers would undoubtedly be
expended in improvements, which would aug
ment the taxable valuation OF the property OF

burden of federal taxation and II. G. l..

Oklahoma Politics

The second effusion from Luther
Harrison, democratic publicity man
ager, carries the alleged informa-
ton that huge sums OF money are
being used 10 defeat Scott Ferris
This second epistle Of the democratic
publicity manager is Of more inter-
est than importance, The fact that
an enormous sum OF money was eX-
pended TO nominate Scott Ferris 70,
the senate, and that sum even
greater is available to elect him
makes a "Jingling OF the guinea"
arouse the liabilities.
The facts are that ali Of the en-
sanized centers uf wealth in Penn
sylynnia and Oklahoma seem to be
backing the Ferris campaign.
Returns from the Maine state
election and from the Georgia pri-
maries have convinced some OF the
captains that the league Of nation
issue has been decisively defeated.
ana attempt to continue with il
means certain defeat, even in
democratic state like Oklahoma.
