OLD SONGS ARE BEST.

Old songs are best, whose tender play Of lit and cadence, sad or gay, Brings back with sudden loss and pain Old thought, old fields, old summer rain So near, and yet so far away. Once more the quickened pulses sway To subtle things that would not stay, And murmur like a lost refrain
 Old songs are best The lure of moonlit nights in May, The light that on far hill-tops lay, Strange dreams that thronged an eager
 brain,
 Lost faces in a ghostly train, Wake with forgetful tunes. and say
 Old songs are best. National Magazine.

There is union that is inimical to the in terests of religion, and consequently to the state; and there is a separation that Is in- imical to the interests of religion, and conse- ,Qrently to the state; and there is a separa-' tion that is for the best interests of both.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY POLITICS
MANY OFFICES TO BE FILLED
AND MANY ASPIRANTS.
Contest Between Blair Lee and j.
Dawson Williams. for State Sena-
torship Promises Excitement.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ROCKVILLE. Md. February Is. 1909
Unless all signs fail there are going to
be some mighty interesting doings among
Montgomery county democrats over the
various nominations for Office to be made
this summer.
Already the woods are full of aspirants.
AS announcement season has just begun
record-breaking list is looked for.
Nominations to be made include this
following: State senator, four Delegates
clerk of the circuit court. register or
wills. sheriff, three county commissioners
and county surveyor.
Indications are that the contest for the
senate will furnish excitement. Senator
Blair Lee will probably be opposed by j.
Dawson Williams. who represented the
county in the last house of delegates.
There is likely to be no other opponent.
That there will be a lively scrap over
the nomination for sheriff is believed
certain. 1t looks as if nearly every dis
trict of the county will have one or more
candidates. Former sheriff James p.
Gott wants his old position. He can
be counted upon to put up a campaign
that will impress that fact upon all others
after the job.
William T Wheeler of Coleville and
William F.. Niett Of Rockile unsuccess-
full aspirants last time, will again be in
the field. Others expected to contest are
Everett M. Ricketts, of Rockville, John
Kelly of Garrett Park, Randolph Luhn
and William HempstOne of Poolesville.
and possibly William H. Wade of Clop-
pers and others. 1t is understood that in
the event of Mr.. Wheeler not being cam
ddate Samuel n. Waters of Silver Spring.
formerly a judge of the orphans court
for the county. will make the race.
There are already four candidates for
register of wills-H. Clinton Allnut. the
incumbent: Justice of the Peace Joseph
Reading of RCckille: Prof. Julian F.
Walters. principal of the public school at
Kensington, and Hugh Townsend of
Unity
John L. Brunett will ask for a renom-
ination clerk Of the circuit court.
Those who would like to be delegates
are a little backward in taking the voters
into their confidence. The same is true
of those who aspire to be county COM
miSSioners.
Charles j. Maddox. who has served the
county county surveyor many years
and never opposed for the nomination.
finds the duties of his office agreeable
and will ask his party to renominate
him.
