! of goods sent from the United States
into Canada recall the fact that if was
just half century ago that the rul-
ing was made that goods passing from
Portland Me. TO any other part Of the
United States and passing en- route
through Canada must be locked and
sealed with the United States seal.
! 4 Bath young man who was arrest
ed one day this week in a netghboring
town charged with over speeding his
automobile says the Times. explained
to his friends who chafed him about
the episode, that he had been travelling
at moderate rate of speed until he
heard noise behind him that sound
/ ed like one OF Henry Ford's products.
They have faculty of wanting 70
pass about everything on the road and
I thought Id Just step on my car 50
as not to take his dust, he said. But
instead Of a Ford the peculiar noise
was that of a motorcycle and the driv-
er was a member Of the State highway
police.
When I wrote the item about the
big fish driving the thinkers in from
sea, I didn't think l would have posi-
tive proof Of the fact so soon writes
c. D. S. G. from Waterman Reach to
the Rockland C.-G. last Thursday
when Mr.. Shea and Mr. Elwel! went
to the weir they found a whale had
followed the fish nearly into the pocket
where the fish are taken out with a
dip net. Ebert Burton and his
brother Harley, both born and brought
UP on the coast. saw the big Ash and
believed it was so feet long. Mr.. FL
we'll goes them 10 feet better. Ed.
didn't want to lock horns with that
fellow for fear he would get his back
up and put the weir out of ccnlnlis-
sion. So he drove strong stakes at
the mouth of the pocket and the next
morning the big chap was out Of sight
It is barely possible our friend over on
Matinicus might have seen him pass
ing out TO sea. Mr.. Elwell told me
Sunday morning that he had told his
wife that they had caught nearly all
kinds of fish in the weir but a whale,
and now they had caught him.

CARDINAL GIBBONS.

The perspective of time is not needed TO de-
termine the lofty position that will be held in
history by Cardinal Gibbons. Nor will recog-
milton of his greatness be confined to his church.
All Christianity must claim Cardinal Gibbons.
for he stood for all that was best and noble
the teachings of Christ.
All Americans must regret his passing, for he
was one of the leaders in public as well as re-
ligious life. Endowed with high intellect. a
straight-seeing vision and charitable soul. he
exerted a powerful influence over the period in
which he lived.
At a critical period it was given to him to
help hold aloft the torch of patriotism. In the
time of world unrest that included our own
country, he stood for Americanism four-square.
Repeatedly he said: regard the Constitu-
tion of the United States as the greatest instru-
ment of government in the history of man.
That should be included in his epitaph.

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason.
AMBITIOUS WIVES

I've seen some husbands wet with
tears who might have learned to
sing and dance. had but their wives,
the dimpled dears. but given them
a decent chance. I'm thinking now
of Hiram Hick, who presses hard
against the names. and life's to him
a gilded brick because his wife has
social aims" She gives a party
every week. or riot of some other
kind; and Hiram sees his doubles
leak; she makes his assets hard to
find. A tea to honor Mrs. Jones may
be the proper thing to give, but
Hiram's shy a hundred bones, and
wonders why such females live. His
wife must have a costly gown ap-
propriate to each event; and Hiram
totters through the town, and
smokes a torch that cost a cent. He
makes good money every year. and
If his wife would mend her ways he
well might read his title clear to
Easy Street and happy days. But
she must trot with richer folk. and
mingle with the Upper Ten. and so
poor Hiram's always broke and sigh
ing for lost iron men. But in his
grief he's not alone; a million hus-
bands toll and spin, and every time
they earn a bone their wives go
forth to blow 1t in. A million. hus-
bands drudge and slave and toll
along on weary feet: = and if their
wives would help them save. they
all might dwell in Easy Street.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-03-28

At more or less regular intervals,
one hears references in print or pub
lie address, to ''the days when they
burned witches in Salem" 1t Is my
habit to inquire of those who make
these references how many witches
were burned in Salem. and I invar-
iably find that the men who use these
words SO flippantly do not know. and
have never looked the matter up, but
suppose that witch-burning was a
pleasant and frequent outdoor sport
in Salem and elsewhere in the old
colonial days.
The fact is that, so far as anyone
has ever shown, no person was ever
put to death by burning. on charge
of witchcraft in colonial America.
Twenty people were put to death
in Salem. 19 of them by hanging, and
one\ by compression. These twenty
are more than half of all that were
legally executed by the Puritan COL
onies. The total number of execu-
tions was 36. of whom nine were men
and twenty-seven women.
Only two persons are known to
have been put to death by burning
in the Puritan colonies, in both cases
the penalty was for murder under
peculiar atrocious circumstances.

rents for their privilege, make both
ends meet If they do not cell some
thing stronger than suds.
1t is too bad the county was put
to the expense of trial IN this case.
If this crime had been committed
south of Richmond the co,or-d gent
would no doubt have been burned
the same day he was caught.
Black man or white man, 1t would
have made no difference
If a man in the south interferes
with another mans wife, tits the
custom to use a As, and not often
is there the trouble of trial. These
things are sacred to the southern
