AS THE SHADOWS LENGTHEN
Henry Cabot Lodge)

AS we grow older and the shadows
begin to lengthen, and the leaves
which in youth seemed so thick above
our heads grow thinner and show the
sky beyond; and as those in the front
ranks drop away and we come in
sight, as we must, of the eternal rifle
pits beyond: man begins to feel
that the really precious things in
life, more lasting and substantial
than any of the objects of ambition
here, is the love of those he loves and
the friendship of those whose friend
ship he prizes.

The Mayoress entered all these places. and

two.gallon jug OF "raisinjac and thir; cen
pint bottles of tonic" containing alcohol.
At one OF the places raided he wife of the
owner emptied some liquor into the sink
but a crust of bread happened to cover the
drain, and as a result the Mayoress was
able TO collect enough of the liquor to fill
a teapot and serve as evidence.

Fairport was very advantageously sit

smuggling Canadian whiskey into north

organized and were looking forward to
1922 as their best year. The activities of
the new girl Mayor were, therefore, very
serious matter.
An organized whiskey ring was making

She had upset all their plans. Something
must be done
First came threatening letters and mes,
Sages The Mayor was warned that she
was to be shot and killed some night.
Other letters notified her that she was to
be blown to bits while she was asleep. In
one letter the young woman was advised
that plot had been shaped to kidnap her
and send her into white slavery.
But as no attention was paid to threats
It occurred to the bootleggers that money
was what the girl wanted. SO the tactics
we're shifted to attempts at bribery The
offer was started at $4,000 This was
raised, doubled tripled, Quadrupled. Fin.
ally, a working business arrangement was
proposed whereby the new Mayor should
have a commission on every case Of liquor
lun through Fairport and she could ap.
point her own representative to check up
on the traffic and make sure that she got
all that was coming to her.
But her war on the underworld went on
more vigorously than ever.
Mayor Kaukonen denies that she Is q
reformer. She says she Is not interested
in politics and never characterizes any
body as a Democrat or a Republican. She
thinks movies are all right and believes
that wearing rouge is not reprehensible
