MAINE GOSSIP

Autumn Song
Over the dreaming meadows
Like sylvan birds awning,
Autumn comes 9Ayly dancing.
A blazoned fairy thing.
The blue vervain In drooipnk,
Where scalloped leaves are spread,
Embroidered, flaming coverlid
For the violet's bed.
Through rose-gold mists, dim, distant,
see the white waves rise
Like crested, shimmering naiads,
Against the soft-hued skies.
Summers ship puts out to see,
Seeking the far sky line.
Glints Of silver sail agleam,
Upon the purple brine.
Over the dreaming meadows
A magic portal swings,
Autumn stands gold-laden,
A FURNISHED, painted thing.
The milk-white sails OF summer
Are folded in transient rest,
Safe in a distant harbor
Upon the broad seas breast.

w omen's Tears

granddaughter of Sarah Bern
hardt recently remarked, in a Paris
newspaper, that women no longer
allowed themselves to be moved TO
tears in the theaters, as in her grand
mothers day, writes Mary Horton in
The London Mail" Is this, She
asks, due to consideration for their
appearance, or to shame for what
may. in these days Of sex equality,
be thought an unworthy weakness?
The explanation is more likely to
lie in the fact that the majority of
women have. in the last twelve years
or so, acquired too intimate an ac-
ouaintance with real tragedy to be
moved by the ke-belief, however
we'll portrayed
Luckily for herself. the modern
girls training does not encourage
weeping over trifles. Like her broth
err she has learned to keep a stiff
upper lip and bite on the bullet in
silence. And her healthy, open air
life makes her still less addicted to
that mysterious luxury, born of over
wrought nerves, known to earlier
generations as "a good cry"
Men are popularity supposed to be
utterly disarmed by a wonlan's tears
indeed, a famous Judge once pub
licly owned himself paralyzed by
them. But 1t is to be feared that
the young man of to-day is more
likely TO be irritated than moved by
the crystal drops that fall from his

So it is not altogether surprising

THE SPIRIT OF THE CUSTODY

There has been placed in the
hands Of the young women of Au-
gusta, who are affiliated in the
young women's organizations Of the
city, the custody Of an enterprise
made possible through the bequest
Of the late Helen w. Fuller. The
last Of a family with traditions
allied to those of Augusta over a
period of many years. she gave hap
py expression to the desire OF not
only herself but also Of those who
had gone before. The spirit OF the
will was that of giving for the bene-
fit Of the young women of the city.
The trustees have adhered to this
purpose. There is now in the
custody of the young women as rep
resented by their organizations, an
opportunity is administer in the
spirit OF the bequest.
II they and the community may
realize all that went to the making
of this bequest possible appreciation
should be more comprehensive and
custody should be enriched and en-
lightened Milton declared that
none but such as are good, can give
good things. Be this as it may, ex-
perience has taught that many with
ability to accumulate have lacked
the ability to distribute wisely.
Those informed respecting the de-
sires promoting this bequest are
aware that it became possible only
through self -denial and the convic-
ton that the patrimony from which
1T was derived had been left in the
custody of the heirs to be handed on
to others, though strangers, intact,
and they scrupulously denied them
selves use of more than the income.
The custody now passes to the
Young women of Augusta, they to
enjoy the fruits of the income. May
the spirit of the giyers pass with It,
strengthen the purposes of the Gus
todians broaden their vision of uses
TO which 1t may be put, help then,
to cooperate In the administration
and make OF this delightful OLD
home, characteristic of the more
substantial and distinguished homes
In this city a half century ago, the
ful6lment of the desires OF the
donors.

Editorial Comment
open-Shop Christianity
On. Y. WorN)

~. L. w OIFQ)
II the churches of Detroit had de-
clined at the outset to invite to their
pulpits officials of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, many Of us would
have felt that their action was
justifiable. It is an open question
whether labor leaders are proper
persons to speak in a church. And
this is not because. considered simply
as men, they have no message to de-
liver, but because, considered as la
Dor leaders, they stand for that
element of secular polemic which
has played such havoc with the re-
ligion OF the present day. If we
. criticise the churches for meddIing
with prohibition, censorship, blue
laws and other matters more politi-
cal than religious, we should be COM
PEELED. If we are to be fair, to give
them credit If, in an effort to call
halt somewhere, they remained
aloof from the industrial controversy.
But unfortunately the churches OF
Detroit did not see things in exactly
that light. To them there appeared
no improperly in extending invita-
tons to labour leaders until the
various employers organizations OF
their city began to make vigorous
protest. Then they turned tail and
rescinded their invitations. The
Young Mems Christian Association
was even so frank as to admit that
to have William Green speak under
it's auspices would put crimp IN its
$5,000,000 building campaign. In
other words II Mr.. Green spoke. rich
manufa cturers might hold back with
their $4,000 checks.
There is nothing that can be said
for this kind of clericalism. You may
argue about it. make excuses for 1t,
gloss II over any way you like. and
the truth remains that It has the
courage of a rabbit and the ideals OF
hook shop. In justice to some of
the Detroit ministers, they see the
situation In it's dismal reality. The
Rev. DIR. Reinhold Niebuhr. who stood
by his invitation to Albert J. Coyle of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, had the following to say:
This incident is another proof that
the real issue which Professionalism
faces is whether It is simply sub
limation Of the economic interests
of a certain class or whether 1t has
the vigor to qualify those interests
and transcend them" He is right.
Religion il it is to assume the lead
ership of which 1t talks SO much,
will have to show more mettle than

MONEY TALKS sENeleLY

Money talks. Not infrequently 1t
talks good sense. When 1t talks OF
a desire to pay obligations it should
be listened to with respect. When 1t
talks in favor Of responding to the
spirit Of an undertaking rather than
about legal technicalities Of avoid
ance it should be listened to with ad-
niration along with the respect.
The Irish Free States good inten-
tons have not always been above
question In some places. 1t now as
sumes, as an obligation, to pay OF
the bonds sold by DeValera. 1t was
not obliged to do this, but 1t pro-
poses to do it and SO we are forced to
conclude that the IRISH Free State
has not become obsessed by Russian
soviet ideas respecting financial OBJ
legations.
