At the Crossing.

I've spoken of this thing before,
I've cautioned every passing gent,
and | admit it makes me sore that
no one seems to care a cent. In
nearly every sheet | read there is
the same old grisly tale; some guy
approached. with frantic speed, a
locomotive on the rail; there was
no reason for his haste. he had all
day to cross the track the locomo-
tive Glove his waist. and split him
lengthwise'; up the back; the loco
motive hit his car and hoisted it
some twenty miles; and undertake
erS. near and far. are selling
shrouds, the latest styles. And coro-
ners. on eager hoofs. pursue their
rounds and strive to please. collect
ing backbones on the roofs. and
taking legs from roadside trees The
wise man never takes chance, he
promptly stops his creaking dray :;
he sees the railway train advance
and knows it has the right of way.
And from his cab the engineer looks
forth and signs, He's safe and sane 4:
he's too much gumption, it is clear,
to try to beat a railway train" The
stern conductor sees him wait. and
to the brakeman says. DDS grass !!
I'm glad to sec there is one skate
with sense enough to let us pass"
And all the passengers cxlaim. as
from the parlor cars they gaze,
There is one man who plays the
game-may blessings hallow all his
days"

Editorial Comment
A Good Appointment
(Lewiston Journal)


Roscoe A. Eddy Of Bar Harbor,
official residence at Augusta. has
been reappointed Commissioner of
Labor and Industry and Factory In
spector of Maine and will qualify to-
day. His appointment was made in
June and dates for three years, from
date of his qualifying. This addi-
tional term will round out a dozen
years OF Mr.. Eddy's service in this
capacity.
1t is pleasing to give praise to
worthy men. When Governor BaX-
ter re-appointed Mr.. Eddy for this
term he told Mr.. Eddy by letter that
people have frequently said that the
appointive power was a burden to
any executive but" added the Gov
crnor, lin Ahis case it is a pleasure
for you have made an enviable
name for yourself in the admins
tration of this Office"
Nine years of public service, with
common acceptance. praise from
heads of departments, good will from
all persons interested in the admins
tration of the work which this de
partment performs, public approval;
private friendships continually grow
ing-all these are to Mr.. Eddy's
credit in this position. It is no
easy place. 1t requires tact, discre-
ton. executive ability, fine sense of
fairness and judicial mind. These
Mr.. Eddy has and with 1t a kindness
and gentleness of spirit; a feeling for
the worker; a consideration for the

GOOD ADVICE FROM Mr.. COBB

1t may occur to some Of those who
read the highly entertaining account
which Irwin S. Cobb has written of
Maine for Hearst's August number
that he has made use of his unusually
happy faculty for blending business
and pleasure without permitting the
former to interfere with the latter.
Anyhow the blend will be found tick
ling to the palate. Indeed we are
under the suspicion that more of the
present generation would prefer
Cobb's description Of a certain part
of Maine to that written by Thoreau
Take this for instance: at the
end of long day OF padding a
canoe-or of watching your guide
padding a canoe-I know Of nothing
finer in all nature than to move down
an aisle OF green tracery to a mess
Of fried ham,"
Were one DESTROYS of obtaining
authoritative opinion on the future of
agriculture in Maine he would hardly
find his requirement met with the in
formation that the chief winter sport
Of the Maine husbandman consists in
"greasing his chilblains and splitting
on the stove" One also may demur
respecting Mr.. Cobb's opinion that
Maine, though "the first state to vote
dry will be among the last to
become So" Also he may yield a
sigh for the good old days" when
Names great line of sea-captains
were poking their bowspirits into
every Granny of the glob" while the
mental horizon Of the resident of the
inland states was bounded by what
he could see in his own dooryard and
murmur along with Irwin: ALAS,
nowadays her most expert wind
TANNERS go to Augusta to sit in the
Legislature"
Mr.. Cobb admits that Had not the
peace and sweetness Of the Maine
woods so completely possessed and
fascinated me I might have allotted
more Of my space to other places;
perhaps I should"
Perhaps 1t Is we'll as 1t is. If, as
some say, the number Of those de-
string to make the Allagash canoe
trip is growing less with the years
we hope Mr.. Cobb's descriptions re-
ceive the circulation they merit.
Take this advice which he gives:
"And If ever you should follow over
the same routes-and IL you love the
woods and the waters you'll take my
advice and do 1t some day-you'll
find yourself buried in a wilderness
which for scope and beauty and
naturalness is not to be matched this

in Canadian unspoiled playground,

in popular favor and use was the
"lghtning-rod man" and his tricky
commercialization of the Franklin
discovery. Memories of men now liv-
ing easily go back to the time when
this person was considered a worse
pest along the countryside than the
book agent or the Yankee notion
peddler. Faulty material, bad insula-
ton, superficial grounding. and fall
ure to follow direct path from the
tip of the rod to the ground, COM
monty made it useless and often
worse.
