I tate to relate he got kicked out" of two universities because he did not conform with the narrowness and bigotry reflected in political and other trends of the day. In 1915, out in Utah, he had the time of his young life" stumping against Reed Shoot, prominent Republican Sena- tor who was advocating high tariff.
 At 37 and still unmarried, the non-conformist Snow returned to the peaceful Penobscot Bay to write poetry, and perhaps to gather unto himself reassurance of the worth of his advanced ideas and ideals the world was not quite ready to accept
 Of one thing he was convinced that he would remain batchelor forevermore. T simply could not en- vision dragging woman into my in- secure life," he says. Another ever present obstacle, to his achieving marital bliss was the refusal of the ladies of that day to share that in- secure life. Every girl I'd ever met said I'd marry you but-!", he frankly admits.
 Beauty and Peace
 He hadn't even had time to write stanza of verse. when Thomaston became agog with the news that so acknowledgements a figure as Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson would speak before town hall meeting on the League of Nations.
