MAINE GOSSIP


I know s my life grows older.
That mine eyes have clearer sight.
That under each rank wrong. some
where
There lies the root of Right:
That each sorrow has its purpose.
BY the sorrowing oft unguessed.
But as sure as the sun brings morning.
Whatever is, is best.
I know that each sinful action.
AS sure as the night brings shade,
Is somewhere, sometime punished.
Tho the hour be long delayed
/ know that the soul is aided
Sometimes by the hearts unrest,
And to grow means often to suffer
But whatever is, is best.
I know there are no errors
In the great eternal plan,
And all things work together
For the final good Of man.
And I know when my soul speeds on
ward
In its grand eternal quest.
I shall say. as / look back earthward,
Whatever Is. is best.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

THERE is only one real government
of the workers in existence and
that is the Soviet government. 1t
does not pretend to be fair or impart-
ial. 1t openly admits that 1t exists
for the benefit Of the workers and
peasants and only tolerates capitalist
production until the development OF
industry and the onward march Of the
revolution in other countries permits
the socialization Of all industry and
the gradual Communication of society.
The antics OF the socialist Gales,

is another eyeopener for the workers.

JULY FOURTH.
GETS Canned
Declaration of Inde-
pendence Under Glass

"When the Fathers sIgned their
Declaration Of independence on
July 9TH, 1776, they were not gware
that they were not doing what they
thot they were" This statement wac
made public today by Professor z. NJ
5utterworth Of the National Institute
for Historic Research at his home In
Mount olivia, Conn. He bases this
not at ali startling disclosure on a
number Of documents In the passes.
sion Of the institute which, thu pro.
fessor says, "Indleate that July 9TH
was an Inopportune time chosen by
the signatorIesy Since" he goes on,
"AprII First would have been q far
more appropriate date"
Couldn't Write Own Names.
In addition, Professor Butterworth
said that his own personal researches
had led him to doubt very much
whether the declaration had been
signed at all. The mere existence Of
such document, he said, "is by no
means convincing to one, like myEeh,
who is required to repudiate historic
forgeries every day in the year Fur
thermore, know Of at least two doz-
en- Of the so-caIled signatories who
couldn't write their own names"
And" he concluded, what better
evidence would you need to lead you
to doubt the existence Of document
than that the purpose for which the
document was supposed to have been
signed have at no time been achiev-
ed"
Prof. Gets Sack.
Two hours after the above inter
view was given, Professor Butter
worth was notified by the board OF d.
rectors of the Institute by wire that
he would be making q very great
mistake to suppose that he would be
allowed to continue IN the services
Of the institute"
chIeasoans offer to LEsfsn.
As soon as this news was made
public another wire was received at
Mount Olivia from Chicago, inviting
Professor Butterworth to speak at a
great picnic there at Beyer's grove.
This wire said in part I'VE win have
on July Fourth no less than 10000
people assempIed In Chicago who win
be glad to hear what you have TO say
about the declaration Of independence
The mere fact th@e most OF them
know already as much as you do
about the matter should not be de-
terrent to your speaking to them-"

is reported from Chicago that there

AS WE SEEIT = ByT. O'Flaherty

DULL is that page Of a capitalist
- newspaper on which is not featur.
ed at least one story telling of the
activities of the Communist Interna-
tional or the Soviet government.
Four, is the count on one page of last
Wednesdays Daily News. A Soviet
"agent" was arrested in Shanghai with
instructions on his person for organ
izing strike committees; another story
Of a stool-pigeon who thot he could
fool the Gay-Pay--; story of a civil
war between zinoviev and Dzerjinsky
and another one telling OF the great
fear which pervades Latvia--fear OF
the Russian Red Army.
MTHERE there Is much smoke there
w is liable to be some fire. The
capitalists have good reason to fear
Soviet Russia. Here is tangible proof
of what the working class can ac-
complish. The old bunk that the
workers would not know what to do
with industry If 1t were handed to
them is successfully exploded. The
Communist idea is going thru the
world like torpedo and II will finally
