SERIOUS CHARGES

William Dudley Foulke is SPAR
ing no effort to get the selection of
enforcement officials under the civil
service. He even goes SO far as to
declare that the enforcement ser
vice is "honeycombed with the most
unmitigated scroundrels in the
world" He charges Commissioner
Haynes with having turned out cor
rupt Democratic officials and putting
in their place equally corrupt
Republican officials on the recon-
mendation of congressman"
There is much that may be said in
favor of the selection of these Of
ficials by means of the civil service.
but when We consider that it is
notorious those under the protection
Of the civil service lack initiative
and stimulus, not to mention other
reasons, the argument would hardly
seem to he all on one side. Here
in Maine there has been nothing to
indicate that the enforcement SER
vice is "honeycombed with the most
unmitigated scoundrels in the world"
If there be any good grounds for
supposing the civil service would
give Maine any better brand Of en-
forcement than the present arrange
ment has done it would be inter
c&ting to learn what they are.
1t may not be unjust to entertain
the suspicion that Mr.. Fou!ke made
eXtravasant statements in the hope
to get n hearing. If he has the
evidence to support his charges he
ought to have a hearing. If not he
would better be told that he will
lie held responsible for making a
difficult task more difficult.

ut this home he wrote the Younger
poems, and he always considered it
the family home TO which he re-
turned for frequent visits. This fine
large house, on the principal street
OF Portland and in charge of the
Maine Historical Society, has many
OF the family relies and is to receive
still more.
The circular from the Interna-
tional Longfellow Society speaks of
Longfelow's birthplace as having
been occupied by members" of the
LonSfellow family for at least n
generation. 1t was never occupied
by his family in the strict sense of
the word-it belonged to some cous-
ms Of his parents named Stevenson.
anN Mrs. Longrellow was visiting
there at the time of her sons birth.
IT was these cousins who occupied
the house during this period, and

cage with his magic ruby and In an
instant the little thrush was free.
Flying UP to his shoulder u nestled
close to his ear anu whispered:
Touch me. little nephew mine.
With that ruby stone Of thine.
Free me from this feathered chain,
Make me rabbit once again
In a second. the ruby was pressed
against the little bird. ana presto!
Uncle Lucky STOOD beside his happy
bunny nephew With glad cry.
the bunny boy threw his arms about
his uncle, who, for a moment was
safe from the spell of the Wicked
Water Witch.
y cry of warning from the little
Yellow Bird, however made them
look around. In the doorway stood
the Wicked Water Witch. Holding up
her skirts, for the melting snow still
ran from the room in rapid stream,
she came swiftly toward them.
