The Maine Election.

The triumph of the Republican
candidate for Congress, JOHN E,
NELSON, in the Third Maine district
Monday over ERNEST L. MCLEAN, the
Democratic candidate. is not thing
to make Republicans throughout the
country feel that they have a walk,
over in the Congress elections this
fall.
In 1920 this same district gave
JOHN A. PETERS a plurality of $4,000.
Now it gives 1900. In 1920 PETERS
had the advantage of the Presidential
vote and the Republican landslide
so no worth while conclusion can be
drawn from the wide contrast in
these two votes.
But in previous Congress elections
we get figures which in contrast with
those of the Monday election throw
some light on the matter. In 1914
the Republican plurality was only
1.515, but that was when the national
Government was Democratic and il
came close on the heels of the Re.
publican-Progressive party split OF
1912. There was still much feeling
between the two elements at the time
of that election. Moreover there was
no woman vote, as there was no
woman vote in 1915, when the Peters
plurality was 1864. Aad in 1916 the
Progressives were not enthusiasts in
their support of the old party
In 1918 the Peters plurality was
5,363, and without the woman vote.
While THE NEW YORK HERALD hasn't
the figures giving the woman vote in
Mondays election it thinks it ap-
proximately safe to say that 40 per
cent. of the $4,000 votes cast were
from women. Deducting this 40 per
cent. from NELSON'S plurality of 1900
leaves but 1920 in contrast with the
Peters plurality of 5,363 in 1918.
A further fact that has a bearing
on the Monday election is that 1t was
special election to fill vacancy
not regular election when politics
is boiling. The total vote cast on
Monday was less than half that cast
in the same district in 1920. Consid-
cred all in all the result of this Maine
election is not safe indication OF
what will happen this fall in the
Congress elections.

The Route for Parades.
Reasons for Choosing Riverside
Drive Instead of Fifth Avenue.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Most
New Yorkers will cordially sympathize
with the st. Patrick's Day celebration,
The establishment OF the Irish Free
State is a just cause for rejoicing not
only by those of Irish heritage but by
all who believe in democracy, whatever
their nationality.
But is It not time that the use OF
Fifth avenue for parades be definitely
abandoned?
1t Is not fair that a section Of the
community. however large. should par
alyze fos half day the business OF
this great thoroughfare and hamper the
movements of several hundred thousand
citizens. This use of the avenue. which
is the middle artery OF the city. seri-
ously interferes with all east and west
traffic.
On Riverside Drive, with its grand
outlook. a non-business street of ample
width. New York has an ideal avenue
for parades, six miles in length. The
normal traffic of the Drive can be read
lily handled by West End avenue and
Broadway and as the Drive is the ex-
treme west highway there is no cross
town traffic to be interfered with.

Last of London Bridge.
Arches OF Famous Old Structure
Uncovered by Builders.
From tho Manchester Guardio,

FFOU inc muHcHeSter Gudrdtuu.
The builders of the new giant office
block on the edge OF the river at Lon
don Bridge allowed people this morn
ing 10 take final glimpse OF the arch
Of old London Bridge. found when the
foundations were being dug. For a
century or so this noble piece OF ma
sonry all unknown had been holding up
the yellow faced Pearl Insurance office
now destroyed. Preservation of the
relic was impossible, so. like the remains
of the Roman camp at Manchester, the
ancient arch must be brought to light
only to disappear for ever.
This morning clerks from warehouses
round and few determined women
sightseers were scramblng down lad
ders into the clayey pit where in the
vague light the powerful span OF the
arch swept over their heads. 1t was NIL
wonderfully fresh and eloquent. Marks
OF use could be traced on the sllvery
stone. One might pass ones hand over
the ivory surface of the arch and fol-
low the wear OF the tides Of many CEN
turies--of more than seven centuries. II
this is indeed part of the original bridge
of Peter of Colechurch. The water has
carved the soft stone into curves as you
might scoop out a cheese with a knife.
This was the most eloquent thing to be
seen.
The work Of the early eighteenth CEN
tury could be studied In the three
nodded ribs OF Portland stone put un-
der the old bridge at that period to
strengthen It. and the spring Of the arch
OF the additions which IN 1859 widened
the bridge was revealed also. An old
mooring ring still In place was the only
human touch-oddly enough, no inter-
osting relics were found In the old
slime.
IL was interesting IL only for a minute
to inspect this fossil OF old London dug
out OF it's medieval bed while the crowd
of lunch hour office youths looked down
rather jeeringly from the parapet OF
new London Bridge. These were the
very stones that upheld those rows Of
sharp toothed houses built along the
medieval bridge which made OF Il the
river heart OF old London.

Grandmother's Daughters.

Grandmother's parlor was musty and
dark.
Green paper window shades shut out
the light,
Vases and candlesticks stood on mark,
Hand knitted tides were spotlessly
white.
Gay brussels carpet was laid on the
floor.
Sofa and chairs were upholstered in
black
Slippery haircloth that made me of
yorc
Feel that an iceberg was next to my
back.
There was a whatnot. its shelves clut-
tered up
With queer little jugs from some far
away land,
Woe china trinkets, a saucer and cup,
Shells that still whispered of ocean
and sand
Quaint steel engravings were hung on
the walls.
Simpering beauties in ringlets and
stays.
Ruth with the cleaners. Niagara Falls
Art of the old fashioned Godey's Book
days.
But grandmother's chairs never broke
in the springs,
Grandmother's carpet wore forty-odd
years.
Grandmother's pantry was full of good
things.
Grandmother's taxes were not in ar
rears,
Grandmother's colds were but simple
affairs
Easily cured with plaster and pill,
No sly appendix took her unawares.
She was too busy for any such Ill.
GRANDMOTHER attic was sweet with the
scent
OF herbs hanging up in the rafters to
dry,
Also her cellar was spicy with bient
Fragrance OF gillflower and Northern
Spy.
Grandmother never adopted a fad.
Never aspired to n life in the city.
But Judging the case by the blessings
she had
Grandmother's daughters should have
all the pity.

The Port Authority and the Ma

From Margaret Fuller.
A Letter to George Sand Introduc'
ing Thomas Hicks, the Painter.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: was
very much interested in your editorial
article on Mazzlni and Margaret Fuller
and the statement contained therein
that Ito her Mazzini rose as its 1.-THE
italian revolution's] most commanding
and attractive figure; he was to her the
only real prophet of the struggle"
have before me letter written by
Margaret Fuller to Nine. George Sand
in Paris. introducing Thomas Hicks. the
famous portrait artist Apparently 1t
was never presented. The letter is as
follows:
ROME, 10th May, 1S4S.
DEAR MADAME: l never received an
answer to letter 1 wrote you last
summer after leaving Venice. yet hope
and think you have not forgotten me,
but set some value on my affection, as
/ do so much on the thought that you
live and breathe in this same world
with me. Nay! have confidence to
introduce another. the only person per-
haps among my countrymen ! should
wish to introduce to you.
1T Is young artist of America who
has been living for some years back
in Rome. He wishes TO know you and
to paint your picture. IL he does the
latter it will not be caricature. like the
others that exist of you. and there ought
to be a true portrait.
"I am aware of the many claims on
your time and that they are probably
multiplied in this season OF great events
yet give him some of It. dear madame,
he is worthy, not only of knowing but
being known by you; if l may Judge
by your writings you have not met
person so genuine and so capable OF
understanding you.
Now you have seen Mazzini and he
writes that he drew strength and faith
come in Italy, sooner than could have
been expected. Princes. popes and blus-
terlng men of letters crumbe. Nor
among the better sort, the true men
that love the light, is there one yet in
evidence that can compare with Maz-
zini.
Good luck. and if we never meet

4 Perplexed Observer OF Life Draws
Up a QUESTIONABLE.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Why
does the Peerless One shout that no
preacher Of evolution can make mon
key out OF him? There is no need to
try-he has done II himself.
why does New York city raise real
estate assessments and at the same
time permit Albany TO pass socialistic
rent laws which tend TO destroy rental
values and cripple STABILITY?
Why are lawyers allowed TO pass
laws iniuring all business and profess
sions save their own?
win politics in this country ever be
so purged that passing the buck will
become unpopular?
u democracy a form of government
based on jealousy OF success?
Why is vaudeville more profitable
than the legitimate? This applies to any
trade, business or profession.
Would Wall Street be a perpetual tar
got for designing politicians If its name
were not so short and snappy?
Does a successful politician resemble
4 second class orchestral leader who
waves his baton after the players have
played?
Is a suit for alienation of affection
compatible with the personal dignity OF
the plaintiff?
Will the feminist movement ever free
itself from sex consciousness and efforts
to equalize inherent disability through
statutory enactment?
Is the so-called mixed jury really
more mixed than the old time jury
composed entirely of men?
Where, and who are those who are
really disturbed by one piece bathing
suits and short skirts on women?
Why do some people become so angry
when we affirm that we have not ad-
vanced one bit over the ancients save
in respect of sanitary plumbing and
aseptic surgery?
What is Americanlsm? Is man
good citizen of any country provided
he minds his own business and pays
his taxes?

politicians and reformers?

DR.. Eliot at SS.

DR. CHARLES w. ELIOT, president
emeritus OF Harvard entered this
week upon the eighty-ninth year of
his very remarkable life. Happily
for the world and himself he refuses
to pay much attention to the mile
posts. He works steadily--as all men
do who live long and usefully and
happily. The brain Of the scholar
and trained thinker does not fade or
tire at four score.
Professor ELIOT was 50 when he be-
came president Of Harvard in 1869.
He began his work there with the
definite purpose OF making Harvard
the equal of tho universities OF
Europe. lie raised it from a college
of a thousand students to what it is
to-day. Long before he retired at the
age Of rs his accomplishments had
attracted the admiration OF the intel
lectual world. His work at Harvard
stimulated every other seat OF higher
education to greater effort. Every
college and university president had
before him a picture Of what the
genius. the persistence and the driv-
Ing force OF the man at Harvard had
1uilt up.
Those who imagined that when he
took the Chair of Retirement DR..
ELIOT would dissolve out of the scene
Of American affairs were doomed to
disappointment. Thirteen years have

tive presidency Of the university at

MISS M'NEvIN IN SONGS.

Miss Evelyn McNevin. contralto. was
heard In song recital last evening in
Aeolian Hall. She was not in condition
to do herself justice. since she was suf-
fering from cold, and the indulgence
OF the audience was asked. She gave \
recital here last April and showed much
promise, so that II was a pity that last
evening she was unable TO prove that
she had made progress.
What WAS said of her voice year
ago, however. can be repeated. 1t Is one
OF unusual beauty and abundant power.
IT is quite likely that most OF the bad
tone placing disclosed last evening was
caused by the singers inability To con-
troll her voice. In spite OF her handicap
she interested an audience OF consd-
cradle size and received much real APP

To the Folks Back Home.

What do you think of your bonus
Congressman. the men you sent to
Washington to represent your inter.
ests in the Government? The Gov
ernmeat is the vehicle through which
your business is conducted. A re-
public is a mutual concern. All citi-
zens have a like interest in the con-
Germ. Conducting business OF your
own, as you are when you are con-
Quoting a republic, means that you
must give personal attention to the
business of government il it is to be
well handled, wisely handled.
Failing to give personal attention
to it you will get just what you are
getting now from the Treasury raid
ers you have sent to Washington who
are jamming the bonus bill through
Congress-a bill if enacted into law
that will cost you five billions of dol.
lars and then on top Of that many
more billions of dollars before the
last cent of this debt is wiped out.
But after all you have only your
selves to blame. You have been
grossly Indifferent to the interests of
your Government. Your attitude
toward your Government has not
been that of the attitude of man
toward his own personal business.
Considered by and large you have
paid no more attention to your Gov
ernment than the citizen of a mon
archy pays to the outworking of the
business of his government. With
him interesting himself in the out.
working of his government is a farce,
having no power in molding it. while
YOU, the citizens of a republic, have
everything to say about the outwork-
ing of the business OF your Govern
ment. And how do you do it?
Once in every two years politi-
cal spellbinders. after months OF
haranguing. work you up to the point
of casting a soulless vote for Con-
gress Representatives. Some of you
don't even do this. And with your
Congressman elected you take no
more vital interest in the daily out
working Of the business Of your Gov
ernment. You trust everything to
your Representatives and do not take
the daily outworking OF the affairs
of your Government home with you.
do not make them part OF your
life.
The result is that the men YOU
have sent to Washington to conduct
your business become your masters.
not your servants. Just now you
have an exaggerated example OF this
kind OF disloyalty on the part OF
your Representatives. In their own
interest they have sold you out TO
the bonus propagandists, and if they
succeed in getting their bonus bill
concreted into law they will squeeze
the money out Of you with which TO
pay this bonus. There is no other
