4 Mere Woman's Question

whether certain county dinners should
be wet or dry, and deciding that they
should be wet. meet these gentle
men who glory to me that they have
been to these dinners where they broke
the law and they show me little TASKS
that they have brought away. In short,
they are law-breakers. keeping laws
that are personally agreeable to them
and breaking laws that are not.
Now, want to ask them if they think
|, a woman dealing constantly with
boys and girls, should follow in their
suit and break the laws that do not
please me, or do they think that the
future citizens that I am to mold will
be better citizens and the country safer
II teach them to keep the law regard
less OF any personal prejudice that I
might have. In other words. / want to
ask these prominent men whom am

ter go on in the same old way that we
learned at school. Socrates, even
though ne disapproved of the law, died
rather than disobey it.

New Vandals

Among the strangest crimes re-
Gently committed in this our crime
less city is the wanton destruction
by disappointed burglars of a series
of original manuscripts of music and
letters written by famous composers.
1t does not require course in
reading detective stories to under
stand many Of the motives for theft.
Aside from the urge of the klepto-
maniac ana the lure of adventure
so frequently featured by those who
write of crimes, there is the simpler
desire for possession generally con-
trolled by normal individuals except
when aroused by any plausible get
rich-quick scheme.
These motives explain many
cause for safe-cracking. All of thenr
imply at least a hope of profit.
They are rarely purposeless. But
they completely fail to explain the
mental processes of robbers who
deliberately destroy such heritages
as the original manuscripts of works
oy Bach, Beethoven and Schumann.
Such things have no especial COM
nercial value-they cannot be traf-
licked ip for profit as readily as

Reeds dramatic quality was fully
recognized. He was not happy, or ever
fully at ease, as 3 public speaker.
For platform purposes his great bulk
and towering, massive cranium were
precious assets. But his thin, drawing,
high-pitched voice-a useful organ for
sarcasm and irony, but incapable of
carrying the weight of genuine emotion
spoiled the impression made by his
heroic stature. An audience to which
he was a stranger never escaped an
uncomfortable sense of anti-climax
when he opened his mouth. Reed
spoke in Faneuil Hall, where there was
in both senses of the word standing
room only" His mind often worked
on bizarre lines. On the way to Port
land next day he said: ~ was talk
ing rules and tariff last night, but all
the time I couldn't get my thoughts
off that mass Of closely packed heads
tmany of them as bald and lustrous as
his ownl, stretching back to the walls
and the doors. I kept saying to my
self: This is Golgotha. This is the
place Of the skulls"
Portland esteemed the Car. It was
willing to admit that he had done
something to make it additionally
famous. 1t greeted him with frank
neighborliness. But no one seemed to
think that Czardom in Washington had
made him any the more or any the
less the droll, slouchy gated, gossip
relishing "Tom" Reed he had always
been. Portland listened to him giving
his accounting and showed interest and
sympathy. But it was a function no
more emotional than a church sociable,
a town meeting or an afternoon tea.
The next day we went into York
County. There was an afternoon meet
ing at Old Orchard Beach. On the list
OF speakers were Reed, Mckinley,
Henry Cabot Lodge and David B. Hen
derson. In almost any part of any

The HardsheU Maine Voter

Once more We are asked to cons der
the question of the hardshell Maine
voter. In Mondays election in the Sd
Congressional District he put damper
on the wild imaginings of the Wash
ington prophets who were busy manu-
featuring signs of reaction against
the Administration. The prophets
didn't know Maine Maine isn't worried
over bonus hippodroming on Capitol
Hill, on over four-power Pacific treaty
tears shed by Senators Reed, Borah
and Johnson, or even over the tariff.
She realizes that all Senator Fernald
has to do to get doubled duty on
potatoes or u new duty on buckle
berries is to go before the Finance
Committee and sing couple of
stanzas from "Throw Out the Life
Line Why should Maine get excited +?
The reaction scenters in Washington
fell for the delusion that the Down
East political mind is as sensitive to
far-oH tremors as the Georgetown Uni
versity seismogrraph is. Maine never
keeps an ear to the ground. Voting
there is not a matter of being
stampeded by alien alarums. 1t is not
matter of being persuaded by voices
from the west of the Piscataqua River
Casting a ballot in Maine is not so
much an act of ratiocination. 1t is q
more sub-conscious obeisance to fixed
habits and mental distinctions. 1t is
robust act of discipline and of faith.
We are We and They are They is the
Rule One of Maine politics.
To discover the how and why of the
Maine voter you must go into Maine.
My first experience with the political
customs of the state dates back to the
campaign of 1S90-a year of nation
wide Republican calamity. Thomas
b. Reed was up for reelection in the

Let Plays Ring True
Editor of the Tribune.

To the Editor of the Tribune.
Sir: The last two lines of James j.
Montague's "Good Measure" in to-day's
Tribune are absolutely true. What we
need and want to interest, amuse and
instruct are plays that ring true
The large number of children attend
ing the movies are being nodded in
character to great extent by what
they see on the screen. Many plays
are disgusting and disappointing just
because they are not true. Let us,
then, have truth, even on the screen
and stage. H. w. ACKER.

Alexandria and the burning Of Lou

More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague
A Helping Hand

(Harry Kemp, the Poet, is going
into boXing)
No more shall the populace froWn
On the poet with chill disre-
gard,
No more shall the vulgar look
down
On the pitiful, poorly paid
bard;
For one of the guild, who has
hitherto sought
The metrical form of express
sion,
Is scrapping his Tyre that he may
acquire
Fresh fame in a noblcr pro-
fession.
vach Lindsey and Percy Mack
And all of the lyrists who sing,
Hereafter may stand proudl'- by
And look at this bird in the
ring.
And if he puts Camel Eyed Cas-
sidy out
They all can declaim in their
joy,
"Well, we'll! lust one tap to the
other lads mapl
That's one Of us poets, that
boyW
And think how delightful twill be
When an editor rudely de-
clarcs,
"No poems this morning for me,
I'd not give ten cents for your
wares :"
And, deftly removing his costly
fur coat,
The muscular puelist pug
With right to the heart in de-
fense of his art
Lays tho magazine chap on the
rug!
Let poets with eager acclaim
Get back of this glove push
ing lad
Here's a chance to achieve higher
fame
Than ever poet has had.
And after while when the breth-
ren have basked
In the light from the ringside
reflected,
If he just has the punch all the

viii find that their trade is
respected.
