Friends of Morse
Stricken at Bath
Appeal to Atty. Gen.

bath, Me, July 17.-P) Two
moves to seek stay of proceedings
against Charles W. Morse. aged shin
builder and fnancier, were formu-
lated today as last rites were being
spoken for Mrs Morse.
News of an appeal by old friends
mere on behalf of the stricken can
ltallst to Atty. Gen. Sargent were
revealed by Frank 3. Nichols, pub-
Usher of the Bath Daily Times. At
the same time Mr.. Morses sons an
nouncei intention of throwing
themselves on the mercy of the fed
eral court in New York, which last
thursday ordered their father TO
appear Tor arraignment on an in
dlctment five years old.
Morse, whose meteoric career led
from the heights of finance to At
lahta prison and back again, was
stf1cken by a paralytic attack more
than a year ago which deprived him
Of the use of his right side. He did
not attend his wife's interment TO-
day. Instead the funeral literally
was brought to him, as the family.
In accordance with a quaint local
custom, gathered about an upper
landing in the old mansion and lis
tened to a Clergyman intone the
service. Below were few intimate
friends while in another room the
body of Mrs. Morse lay in a casket
of sombre gray.
AS the Rev. DR.. A. B. Hersey, I'm
lversalist and former president of
St. Lawrence University, Canton, n.
l., reclted the last words of the
prayers, Mr.. Morse's sons and a
small group of relatives descended
the stairway and made their way to
waiting automobiles. Mr.. Morse
remained under charge of a nurse.
Throughout the service he had
given little evidence of comprehen-
sion. His condition, which had been
characterized by an apparent ina
blllty to consider things nationally
or to carry on coherent CONVERSE
ton, remained unchanged. His sons
said he seemed to sense his loss. but
only momentarily.
Mrs. Morse. the former Mrs. Gle
mence Cowles Dodge, was the sec
ond wife of Pullman conductor.
and Mr.. Morse met her in New
York. She died suddenly from apo
plexy Thursday, a day after arriving
at the old home to spend the sum.
mer with Mr.. Morse, who came here
last Saturday.
The moves to obtain stay of pro-
ceeding took two directions. Mr..
Nichols and others told the attorney
general that Mr.. Morse was so en-
feebled mentally and physically,
that he was unable to stand the
strain of a trip to New York. They
asked that action at least be delayed
until cooler weather. Mr. Nichols
made it clear his request had been
purely that of an old friend and I'M
solicited.
That of the sons took the form of
a statement in which they announce
ed their decision to present Mr..
Morses physical condition to Judge
Holmes. They were confident he
would not insist on ordering the
case to trial. they said, but at the
same time emphasized their inten-
ton to seek no unnecessary delay.
The indictment charges fraud in
connection with the sale of the ship
company stock. He is at liberty UNI
der 100000 bail forfeiture of which
is asked by the government If he
does not appear.

good men and women who have been
called to their final accounting were
well along in years. Most of them
were men and women who had pion-
eered in the wst-had known hard
ship, privations and hard work; had
played important parts in conquer
ing the wilderness and establishing
homes for themselves and families
And for these reasons they were en-
titled to rest.
But because of the large places
they occupied in the community they
are sadly missed. 1t is not surpris-
ing that there is feeling of depres-
sion as the familiar faces are no
longer seen in their accustomed
places, as the words of greeting and
good cheer are no longer heard.
The responsibilities carried so well
and so long by these pioneers have
been passed on to other hands; the
work they carried forward under
great handicaps is left for others to
complete. The finest tribute that
could be paid to their memory-the
most enduring monument that could
be erected to them-is for those of
US who remain to carry forward their
deals. to accomplish what they aimed
to accomplish, to make of this com
munity what they were determined
it should be.
1t would be unjust to those who
are gone, it would be rank disloy-
atty to their memory, for those who
remain now to abandon the dreams,
he hopes, the plans, the aspirations
If the splendid men and women who
lave placed this responsibility upon
laid such a substantial
foundation and who have placed
within our hands such splendid OPP

DON'T TRY TO GET EVEN

If somebody does a mean thing to
you, don't try to get even. Just let
them be mean. let them snarl and
hiss. let them be sarcastic and con-
temptuous, let them do the bicker-
ing. Because they do these things
that is no reason why you should.
No one likes or admires such a per-
son; they why should you want to
make yourself like them?
The better way to hold yourself
above such petty little meanness is
to maintain your dignity and self
poise and with smile go straight on
about your BUSINESS and say with
Paul: "None of these things move
me-"
Give the other person the monop-
oily of hate, envy and jealousy. And
then watch it's effect upon them. 1T
will make them sour, lean, sallow,
hollow and haggard. 1t will convert
the wine of life into bitterness.
Like attracts like and all the mean
envious, hateful thoughts sent out
attracts other thoughts of the same
kind, and then like chickens, they go
home to roost, taking with them
their mates. And this brood will
there take up their abode and their
vile exhalations warn away all ex-
cept birds of the same feather.
Don't try to get even. It isn't
healthy Besides it doesn't pay. If
you try it whatever you do will
boomerang back at you with double
force. Don't try it. Keep still and
let the other person do it, like
shallow cataract, hiss and foam, and
seethe and froth, and sizzle and boil,
while the deep waters of a placid
river you go serenely on your way in
calm.
Don't try to get even. Like at
tracts like" is an memorable law.
Let the law even things up. 1t can
do so far more effectively than you
can. Just watch and see. While you
watch and rest. Resting is better
than fussing. It's great deal
healthier Took.
