JUDGE STAFFORD'S
FINE TRIBUTE
TO LINCOLN

washington Correspondence)

washington Correspondence
Vermont's distinguished jurist-
poet, Judge Wendell Phillips Stat
ford, contributed a striking stanza
to the sum total of verse commem-
orative Of the Lincoln Memorial
which was dedicated May 80. JUS
tice Stafford's offering, character
lied no less by its dignity than its
brevity and simplicity, follows:
The pediment will crack, the col
umn fall,
The river will return where once it
ran.
For him whose heart beat with the
heart of all,
The only temple IS the heart of
man."
Justice Stafford is also the auth
or of a short poem which he cad
at the dedication of the Grant
Memorial in the Botanic Garden,
at the foot of the Capitol recently
1t runs thus:
"While left and right the pillows
charge and split,
Here, on the stallion champing at
his bit,
You see the master of the tempest
sit.
This is the man who spoke without
tongue
And by the silent metal should be
sung,
Out of the brass and stone his
praise is wrung.
His words were few because his
thoughts were great,
His deed blew its own trumpet and
his state
Went not before, but followed Ike
fate.
On this plain man two gifts the
gods bestowed;
He weighed the pack before he
took the load;
And where he marched it was
one-way road.
When guns grow mute the strife of
tongues may cease,
And the same hand that bound
should bring reelase.
Harkl 'tis a soldier says, Let Us
have peace"
Not inevitably are Government
departmental bulletins merely COM
pendiums of the dry-as-dust sta
tistics that those lacking the ad-
vantage of their acquaintance ina

Late Opening of Ore Season.

That the ore movement for 1922
will show a marked increase over
last season, when the fleet moved
only p, 800, 726 tons, is certain
but the start will be slow and
chartering will not be active as a
large amount of ore will be carried
by boats having longtime CON
tracts. There will not be employ
ment for all the freighterS at the
opening, and if work at the coal
mines is suspended April !, ships
will he held in port until they can
get cargoes at the lower end of the
route.
The ore shippers are figuring on
a cut in lake carrying charges as
we'll as rail rates and handling
charges, and a reduction in prices
will be made. 1t will probably be
some time, however, before sales
are made and action taken in regard
to lake freights. With a good
supply of GREAT Lake Erie ports and
at furnace yards. there will not
be much demand for early cargoes
and a late start is looked for.

May Close Beaver Season.

That the beaver season may be
closed by the Conservation Com
mission as a result of violations of
the law is probability, according
to w. Z. Barber, chairman of the
Conservation Commission.
Because of the heavy SHOWS that
have made travel by automobile
impossible for our wardens we have
had an unusual number of vic la
tions of the trapping law, said
Mr. Barber. The situation in this
respect in Ashland and Douglas
counties is especially bad. We
have had numerous complaints of
beaver houses being destroyed
contrary to the law and a sense OF
good craftsmanship as we'll.
When spring comes our wardens
will investigate the beaver situation
in these northern counties where
the season was opened this year
If it appears that much damage
has been done by the lawlesness we
shall probably close the season fol
the future
Som" 972 trapping licenses for
