Editorial Comment.
Senator Hale,
ellsworth AmeriCanD

tEllSWOrth AfneGlCdH.)
The formal announcement by Send-
tor Hale that he will not be cdndl-
date for reelection comes to us here
in Ellsworth with Il sense of regret
which cannot be shared by any beyond
it's borders. In his long, conspicuous
and brilliant career in the public SER
vice. his townspeople. regardless OF
political affiliations. have taken the
keenest interest and satisfaction.
To have been unanimously chosen
for five successive terms to the upper
branch of the highest deliberative
body In the world; to have become in
point of unbroken service the oldest
member of that body: to have. by his
ability and judgment. acquired among
his fellow senators the influence ac-
knowledged to be his: to have passed
through the storm and strife of poll
tics for wel-nigh a generation, and
emerged without a stain is a record OF
which he may well be proud; of which
his friends and neighbors of his home
town are proud, and ever will be.

suNELowER PHILOSOPHY.

Every old and broken-down politician IS
Boss Buster.
No man who ever quit drinking re-
GREETED it. and those who never COM
menced aren't greatly worried by the
thought that they have missed some
thing.
1t makes no difference what the callers
say to the mothers face. when they are
safely away from the home of the ne"
baby they always say 1T looks like a
little ape"
We imagine that when woman dies
and goes to Heaven Saint Peter begins
and ends the questions of her life as fol-
lows: when were you bOrn?" and
What did you have cut out?"
For many years the little girl who got
up in public and performed on the piano
with little pigtail braid hanging down
her back, and with proud parents sitting
down in front. has been the butt of ten
der ridicule. but we want to say this in
defense of her early musical genius:
That pigtail braid was all her own.-At-

Illinois In Line.

The recent decision of the Illinois
supr 1me court that a ten-hour law for
women is constitutional is in the ma
ture of reversal of the position taken
by the same body five years ago. when
it was decreed that an eight hour law
for women was unconstitutional be-
cause it impaired the right of con-
tract" The ruling of the court af-
fects upward of 10000 women en-
ployed in industrial establishments.
AS is entirely fitting, the Illinois
