CANAL GOVERNOR
SPOUTS POETRY
' -HELP!
Special Dispatch.
Washington. Feb. 24. —There’s open
mutiny down in Panama. The cement
mixers, the diggers, the firemen and
the roustabouts may be satisfied with
wages, food and climate, but they ob
ject most strenuously to the poetry
turned out by Maurice H. Thatcher,
governor of the canal zone.
They admit that the governor is an
tell around good chap, but it’s bad
enough to be thousands of miles away
from God’s countr- without being sub
mitted to a daily poetical ordeal.
A letter has reached Washington ad
dressed to the house appropriation
committee. President Tatt and other
high officials, asking them ‘‘for the
love of Mike" to call off Thatcher or
stop his poetical outbursts. "It is
not.” says the letter, "that we w’ho are
helping to dig the canal have any ob
jection to real poetry. But Governor
Thatcher’s poetry is objectionable
from every point of view. He feels it
his duty to board incoming steamships
and read rhymed addresses of wel
come to whoever happens to be the
most distinguished man aboard.”
Thatcher did this in the case of the
late President Montt of Chile, and the
poem was so warm in Its eulogy of
the Chileans that it is a wonder our
diplomatic relations with other South
American republics were not abruptly
suspended.

THE GREAT KIDNEY MEDICINE
‘ PROVES ITS MERIT.
It gives me great pleasure to say a
good word for Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root because it has cured me of a se
vere case of Kidney Trouble. I had
suffered for some live years with this
trouble, -and more especially for the
first three months of 1909.
Physicians prescribed for me, but
without much success, and any relief
obtained was only temporary. I had
severe pains in my back and at no
time was I free of pain. When I
stooped down it was with some diffi
culty that I could straighten my body
again. I could not lift any weight
of consequence without great pain. I
would be compelled to arise and give
the bladder relief. A friend of mine
advised me to take Swamp-Root,
whereupon I wrote to Dr. Kilmer for
a sample bottle, which so benefited
me mat I was led to believe it would
be a great help to me. Accordingly I
purchased two bottles of Swamp-Root
from Mr. A. P. Perry, my druggist,
and the effect has been truly marvel
ous.
I feel like s new man and have every
reason to believe that I am cured,
and that no other medicine could
have accomplished so much. Now I
can raise a heavy load, can bend my
back over my desk all day, and feel
none the worse for it. In view of the
foregoing facts. I sincerely trust that
this testimonial may reach some of
those who are suffering after the man
ner before described and that it may
convince them that the merit of this
great medicine should be given a fair
trial in their case.
Very truly yours.

I jagged edges of the Culebra cut are
swathed in sunlight or bathed on rip
pling moonlight, the governor hies
himself to the veranda of the executive
mansion on Ancon hill and dashes off
several yards of poetry. Then he sum
mons his subordinates and reads it to
I them. That s where the mutiny had
, its Inception.
Listen how Thatcher describes the
| view from his front porch:
i Drift, clouds, drift far o’er the western
sea;
i Rift, clouds, rift in loveliness for me.
: Blow, winds, blow;
Flow, tides, flow;
Gild all with glory, sun, we ask of
thee.
Smile, hills, smile like the peaks of by
and by;
Pile, hills, pile till thou pierce the
tropic sky;
Rise, Islets, rise—
oh, this is paradise!
A paradise of beauty that can never
die.
Petitioners say that a man who is
getting $14,000 per annum and a house
to live in should be in better business.
Also. It is suspected that the governor
is raising chickens in his back yard,
for another nameless rival bard who
runs a steam shovel got even by dash
ing off the following parody:
j Crow, cocks, crow, from sunset until
dAwn;
Bark. dogs. bark, in torture unto me;
Moo. cows, moo—
Croak, frogs, croak—
Make night a hell; this we owe to ye.
Toss, martyrs, toss, like the sinner by
and by;
Pile, pillows, pile, till ye stifle every
cry. •
Rise, sufferer, rise,
And from out this paradise
I Hurl the brickbat or the poem
can never die.
The most serious count in the in
’ dictment against the governor is the
! Chilean lay which he hurled against
the president of that republic, who
hadn't been warned in advance, and
i who could not understand a word of
English.
Listen, good people:
Who are loyal, strong and brave?
The Chileans, sir. -
Who are the masters of the wave?
The Chileans, sir.
: Who laugh at danger and the grave?
Who gladly die, their land to save?
W’ho rule where mighty waters lave?
The Chileans, sir.
Then here's to Chile, brave and true.
May she the eagle’s strength renew.
May she be bathed in heaven’s dew.
May she the paths of right pursue.
And grow as only nations do
That seek the light and find it, tod.
God guide and guard her ever.
President Montt died later, sup
posedly of heart disease.
The letter continues:
"An humble but inspired worker on
the canal who runs a cement mixer
eight hours a day. read ’Chile’ and
was moved to write a parody.”
Here is Canto I:
Who knows how in verse to rave?
The governor, sir.
Who is the subject of this stave?
The governor, sir.
Who’s laughed at by gay and grave?
Who is dotty, we "belave?”
Who should seek some distant cave?
The governor, sir.
The letter ends as fololws:
"We do not ask the governor’s re
moval. He is a well-meaning man.
NEISE MICH’S SUCCESSOR lEEE US

"Uve Got a Dozen Millions or so, Bui Thal Doesn’t Make Me Rich.”
What is a rich man?
Do you know?
Is he a rich man if he owns a hun
dred thousand or must he have a mil
lion?
Go ask Henry F. Lippitt, who ha;
chosen to succeed Nelse Aldrich It
the senate.
You are supposed to know befori
you go that Henry is rated at some
thing like $16,000,000, and so yoi
start this way:
"Lippitt, you are a very rich man
and—”
"Hold up," says Lippitt. “Guesi
again. I'm not a rich man. I’ve onl)
got a dozen million dollars or so, anc
that doesn’t make me rich. Now
when a man gets to own half a billior
you can begin to call him a rich mar

But you don't see—you're too bus)
catching your breath.
It's almost two years since this
Croesus from Rhode Island went tc
I Washington wjth important and im
perative orders for the United States
senate. The orders consisted of the
cotton schedule, which the cottor
manufacturers of New England had
decided should go into the Payne-
Aldrich tariff bill. Lippitt and the rest
of them drew it up at a club luncheon
and the now senator-elect carried il
to Aldrich and Smoot.
Of course, it went In.
This Henry F. Lippitt, who on
March 4 takes the senate seat ot
Aldrich, is rather an interesting citi
zen. He is said to be one of the
I flossiest yachtmen who ever sang out
"Ship ahoy!" He is a petted member
of most of the fashionable yacht clubs
on the Atlantic seaboard. He is one
of the few members of the swell New
York club who know the difference
between a balloon jib and a mainsail.
Also he is one of the rich cotton
manufacturers of the Fall River dis
trict, who know best how to get the
though misguided. But we do demand
that he stick to prose, leave ’heaven's
dew' and 'iron blood' and things like
that to others, keep out of the moon
ligm. and not Inflict verses on his
helpless subordinates. Life down here
is bad enough at best; with Governor
Thatcher's poetry it is insupportable.
“Such Lovely Hair!”
The popular home-made "dry sham
poo” called forth this remark when
two friends met: “What lovely hair.
Why, what have you been doing.
Thereupon the second ot the two re

He doesn't represent the interests,
’ he is one of them. He practically dom
inates the Arkwright club, and the
Arkwright club in turn dominates the
s American cotton mills outside of the
south. About a half dozen families

' the king-pin of the New England cot
ton manufacturers, Lippitt is closely
' connected with the banking interests

He gets his biggest enjoymept out
of life by raising apples on hiS farm.
1 His apples have a reputation which

He is proud of his apple trees. Al

lowed Roger Williams to the Provi

soul, and early acquired the habit of
1 "getting and holding.” Some of the
lots he staked off now comprise some
of the most valuable residential prop
ertv in Providence.

which was included in the home lot
of the original John Lippitt. Like

I have gathered some moss, not enough
to give Henry what he regards as a
large fortune, but Henry is young
yet, and Senator Aldrich has shown
how a struggling senator can save
several millions out of the salary
Uncle Sams pays, if he economizes.

BRfJIT II MEXICO
Government officials in Mexico
। have adopted a policy of tolerance in
I order to counteract the growing spirit
of unrest, according to Joaquin Rios,
i who was at the Bexar this morning.
I Last week he was in Monterey, a city
jthat has so far furnished few recruits
1 for the rebel army. No official order
j has been issued, says Mr. Rios, but
thq word has gone forth that drastic
police methods in vogue for years are
to be altered and judges appear to
l have been told that justice is tQ be
। highly flavored with clemency.
| "Trivial offenses rarely get one into
: jail now,” said Mr. Rios, "and when
a man is taken to jail he is given
more consideration than has been ex
tended the average prisoner in a long
time. The application of the in
conjunicado rule is rare.
"This altered state of affairs de
ceives but a few, though it is nona
the less Welcome. The government
begins to realize that much of the
unrest is due to its despotic treatment
of Diaz's subjects and to abuses by
the police and courts. The lower and
middle classes have been subjected to
[•rsecution more often than to pros
ecution and this new policy is doubt
less meant to put them in a better
humor, to offset if possible the argu
ments of the insurgents' agents, who
are constantly at work In every large
center ot population.”
