A. S. FIELD, President and Manager.
A Masterly Indictment.
—
The Chicago Tribune, a Strong Progres
sive Paper, Thoroughly Approves Mr.
Hughes’s Acceptance Address Dtclarts
Wilson’s Pilotage to Be Rudderless.
[From the Chicago Tribune.]
The speech of acceptance of the Re
publican candidate for the presidency is
not a partisan document. It is a states
manly message to the American people
which lays its major emphasis on an
issue transcending party, the issue of
America’s place in the world, or as Mr.
Hughes put it epigrammatically, “Amer
ica first, and America efficient.”
The address is inspiring in its fine re
straint. There are no flights of rhetoric
in it. There is no taint of personality.
There is only straight and weighty speech,
and we believe it will sink deep into the
minds of Americans regardless of party,
for it is the grave utterance of a strong
man who knows his own mind and would
have the nation know its mind. The
hand he lays upon each main problem of
the nation is firm and muscular. It seems
a hand for the tiller in time of storm.
Mr. Hughes, rightly gives the place of
prominence in his discussion to our in
ternational relations, our preparedness
to meet the dangers ami responsibilities
they involve, our needs for an "organiza
tion of peace.” Tnese are the battle is
sues. It is because as to these issues
the Republican candidate and the re
united party behind him offer greater i
security and promise than their oppo- i
nents that we may hope confidently for
success at the coming election.
Four Yebrsof Dizzy Balancing
Mr. Hughes’criticism of the diplomaed
of the Wilson administration is a master
ly indictment. We know that the main
asset of the Democratic campaign is the
unconsciously yet bitterly ironic formula:
“He kept us out of war.” To this Mr.
Hughes’ calm but stinging analysis is a
staggering answer. From this review
of four years of unhappy ineptitude we
realize that we have been kept perpetu
ally on the rim of war, wnere courageous .
firmness would have thrust us safely
back from the abyss; we realize that af
ter four years of dizzy balancing we are
still in the midst of intolerable complica
tions, still threatened and still unprepar
ed.
And we find ourselves, despite the re
peated and ever present warnings of
events, not only unprepared within but
with our credit among nations shameful
ly impaired, our chief defence against
affront and injury—the respect of our
rights—laid low.
have paid a heavy price not merely in
national self-respect but in actual secur
ity, and it is time for thi American peo
ple to ask themselves whether with any
consideration ot their own safety or of
the well-being of their children, such a
policy, such pilotage, can be longer ac
cepted—the policy of a fallacious peace
which perpetuates danger and a rudder
less pilotage.
How we Have Muddled Through.
Mr. Hughes' survey of the immediate
past challenges our future. We have
muddled along, but our gratitude for
such immunity as we have enjoyed should
be directed to Providence. The question
now is, how dare we go on into a future
lull of;the gravest possibilities under such
guidance as we have had for four years?
The tardy defence preparations of the
last few weeks, forced finally by the
pressure of a growing public alarm, is
no assurance for the future. On the
contrary, nothing could offer a more con
clusive demonstration of hopeless lack of
foresight and incapacity to meet reso
lutely and practically imminent and un
escapable needs than the postponement
of this defence legislation through three
such terrific years until other leadership,
irresistible public aemand, and the ap
proach of an accounting at the polls
forced action.
Cannot Afford Such a Gamble.
Mr. Hughes’ review is a solemn warn
ing of our state and of the folly and peril
of submitting through the coming criti
cal years to a statecraft so blind, so be
mused with doctrine, and benumbed by
prejudice or ill advised sentiment, that
it could learn rothing from the tremend
ous events of the world war and the con
stant threats of Mexican chaos until un
mistakable public opinion and alarmed
polltical seif-interest pointed the lesson.
The United States cannot afford to
gamble on eleventh hour conversions of
so dubious a character. It needs, if ever
in its history, a statesmanship of cour
ageous resolutions, foresight, and in
tilligent preparedness, both for war ana
peace. Mr. Hughes’s noteworthy open
ing of the campaign is strongest in its
suggestion, w'hieh the proved character
and distinguished record of the man en
force, that we are approaching such
statesmanship and will possess it, if we
are not so weak as to mistake a false and
temporary avoidance of responsibility
for the peace and security which rests
alone with “an America conscious of
power, awake to obligation, erect in
sulf-respeet, prepared for every emerg
ency,”
Mr. Hughes’s discussion of other phases
of national policy must be treated at an
other time. It is enough to say here
that it provides an admirable outline tor
the campaign which it may be hoped will
be one of constructive debate, clarifying
public thought and concentrating the
American will on a course of definite
and unvacillating policy in foreign and
domestic affairs.

The Pigeons of St. Francis.
The Lausame pigeons would have re'
jotced the heart of the gentle saint of
Assisi. They “live, move, and havt
their being” around the temple dedicatee
to St. Francis in the fifteenth century.
It is a pretty sight in the early morning;
to see them preening their feathers,
which shine like burnished gold in th<
sun.
A fountain erected against the nortl
wall of the old church provides their daily
bath, but the front steps of the edifice
itself is where they feel most at home.
It has been remarked that the intelli
gent little creatures never use the steps
on a Sabbath morning, but on that day
only perch high up over the porch and ir
the arches of the windows.
They have built their nests everywhere,
under the eaves and on the stone sills ir
quiet corners. A cabstand just in front
of the church provides many a tasty
meal. The audacious birds, knowing
well how much they are beloved, do not
hesitate to perch upon the very nose-bag
ot old Dobbin and thus provide them
selves with a gratuitous luncheon. Their
family bickerings, as well as their court
ships, provide much tenaer amusement.
They are so tame they fly at once into
the arms of the familiar passer-by,
eagerly on the lookout for bread, rice,and
grain of all sorts. Provender, I must
say, is freely and generously provided,
especially by the little tolk.
It is not unusual to see as many as r
dozen pigeons perched upon a single per
son, and when several insist on alighting
upon one arm it requires some fine balanc
ing and fluttering of wings on the part of
| the birds.

| the sun, has his side covered with the
! graceful little creatures, who warm their
! toes in his shaggy hair. Good old Medor,
l guardian of the feathered floeK!
1 think, in Lausanne, the birds are the
: most appreciated. The laws concerning
' them are more adequate than for the pro
tection of the horse, dog, or cat.
At this season ad the newspapers have
big announcements worded as follows:
“Pity 1 he Lirds!
“Winter’s cold is upon us. The earth
is frozen. Think of the little birds who
no longer find their sustenance".
The Audubon Society has a large mem
bership and distributes an enormous
quantity of literature concerning the
Care, treatment, and forethought for
birts during the winter season. Minia
ture Swiss chalets are built for them in
all the public parks, and in the adjacent
small woods outside the city. Citizens
are recommended to break the ice on tiny
pools that the birds may be able to drink,
to leave the berries on the bushes, and to
throw out the apple and pear peelings
upon the snow.
Some time ago a facetious artist dyed
some of the pigeons in rainbow hues.
A stranger coming to Lausanne often
J remarks upon this extraordinarily gay
j and vivid plumage, and is invariably told
! they are “Japanese pigeons.” I know
I’m gullible, for I believed it at first!
The last census of the pigeons made a
total of two hundred and sixty-three.
Sometimes the over-confidence of these
pretty little creatures is their undoing.
Unscrupulous persons have been known
to have secreted a pigeon or two under a
jacket with heartless and cannibalistic
intentions. As in Venice, the Lausanne
pigeons, while mainly depending upon
the public for support, have also their
two tiny packets of grain.
It is interesting to watch the children
feed the pigeons,and to note the different
I sentiments evoked. One knows at once
the embryo animal defender, and where
the silly “don’t care—only an animal”
sort of person lurks. Whenever I see a
young person wantonly scare the flock as
it is peacefully feeding, cooing happily
with contentment, it is all I can do to
keep my temper. For 1 would jusl like
' lo administer a sound shaking! There
are always groups of interested specta
| tors of the daily routine of life among
! these city pigeons, which have really be
[ come one of the institutions of Lausanne.
In a letter from the Argentine yester
day an animal-lover asks for the latest
| news of the pigeons of St. Francis—if the
, litile “Quaker” has built her nest with
“Pierrot,” and how fares the “Hermit”
: arid the “Rainbow”? Dear “little
! btothers and sisters of St. Francis!”
“My kinship with life's myriiid forms I knew;
Worms in the World of green, wings in the
world of bluo."

RECENT DEATHS*
Henry Hichborn Grant, who died July
31st at his home in Portland, was born
in Stockton June 14, 1848, the son oi
Giles B. and Desire (Hichborn) Grant.
When a young man he became a resident
of Searsport and engaged in the ship
building and shipping business and was
prominently identified with the William
McGilvery Co. and other firms. He mar
ried in Searsport Miss Martha H. Pen
dleton, who survives him with the fol
lowing of the seven children born to
them: Mrs. Franklyn Clark of Atlantic
City, N. J.; Mrs. J. H. Lamson of Los

Mrs. John Perry Butler and Miss Grace
Grant, all of Portland. He is also sur
vived by one brother, Everett S. Grant
of New Haven, Conn. In 1891 Mr.
Grant and family moved from bearsport
to Portland, where he was employed by
several of the large wholesale houses,
among them the Paris Flouring Co., and
also by the Maine Steamship Co., but at
the time of his retirement from active
business he had been with the Brown &
Joscelyn Co. for ten years. Failing
health compelled his retirement last fall,
but he was able to be about until a short
time before his death. He was a de
voted husband and father, a good citizen,
and had many friends in this section who
extend sympathy to the bereaved. The
funeral service was held at the late
home, 119 Glenwood avenue, and the
burial was in the family lot in Evergreen
cemetery.
Mrs. Sarah (Keene), widow of thelate

Mr. Hughes’s Constructiveness.
[From the Chicago Tribune, Rep ]
Conservative proposals there are in
Mr. Hughes’ address, and they will un
doubtedly oe developed fully as they
could not be in one evening. For exam
ple, the need for protective tariff meas
ures to meet the aggressive developments
of commercial warfare in Europe. The
country can afford even less to submit to
Mr. Wilson’s languid opportunism and
eleventh-hour action in the field of inter
national commercial competition than it
could afford to wait for his tardy military
defense measures. The nation needs
foresighted leadership and vigorous ac
tion, preparedness, against the fierce
commercial rivalry being planned in
IjUl VJ JM, YV 1 l 11 a V- C» l V UIIU bUlupiclJCIiOlVC'
ness never before known, just as it. needs
the military defence now haltingly and
defectively begun. An antidumping
clause and a hastily created tariff board
are the flimsy “constructive" proposals
of the present Government. They are
about as satisfactory as the little army
and navy that Democratic statesmanship
was content with until the long shadow
of the ballot-box fell across their com
plaisant counsels.

the tunnel unoek the channel.
The closer alliance between England
and France ai d the inadequacy of trans
portation by sea for the requirements of
the war have revived in France the idea
of building a tunnel under the Channel.
At a meeting of the French Society of
Civil Engineers recently a paper was
presented explaining the condition of the
project to-day and describing the plans
of M. Albert Sartiaux for building the
tunnel. The idea was so much favored
in the 70s on both sides of the Channel
that a society was formed in France to
construct the tunnel, a concession was
obtained from the Government and money
was raised. Efforts were made in Eng
land to establish a similar corporation and
a submarine company exists now, at
least on paper,but the British press raised
the cry of danger to England, the rela
tions between the two countries were not
cordial for some years and public interest
in the plan died out.
The French company, however, was
not idle. It has spent $400,000 in pre
liminary work. Soundings to ascertain
the nature ot the bottom have been made
with great thoroughness across the
Straits of Dover, pits and wells have sunk
on the French side to make sure of the
geological formation, an experimental
boring extending 5,000 feet under water
has been made at Sangatte near Calais,
and much money has been expended in
other scientic research and in machinery.
A bed of chalk, 200 feet wide, extendir g
without a break across the Straits, has
been found, covered with a certain
amount of clay, which should minimize
the engineering difficulties. M. Sar
tiaux’s plan is to excavate separate tun
1 nels for each t) ack. The estimates,
: mane some time ago,figured on about live
years for digging the tunnel and about
$1,400,000 for tiie cost a mile, but bo;b
i time and cost can probably be diminished ■
through tiie many improvements that, j
j have been made in machinery and by the I
use of electricity. Electricity, too, part- j
: ly solves another serious problem for i
i which underground engineers have not j
yet found a satisfactory answer, that of :
! proper ventilation.
From the time the proposal was first
; advanced scientific men on both sides of j
i the Channel have regarded tfie building
of tiie tunnel as feasible; the obstacles j
j in the way have been the doubt, that !
it could be made to pay after it had 1
j been built and the insular alarm as to
, the danger from it in case of war.
! Both of these considerations have been
swept aside by the exigencies of the
; present war, so that, the tunnel project
I now appears as a desirable engineering
feat that can be carried out. The men
who have labored on the plans have
strong hopes that now they will be taken
up seriously by both England and France.
