Currying Cobba

Judge Powers has opposition TO his
candidacy for the United States Sem
ate in the person of Ex-Governor VIII
liam T. Cobb. This fact has already
set the people of Maine guessing
again as to the final outcome of ths
Republican senatorial fight. Some OF
the heretofore prominent political or
gans and individual workers have
acted shyly about taking sides in the
new political alignment of candidates
and seem to be playing waiting
game with the idea that eventually
they may line up with that faction
which is bound to win. AS we have
remarked many times In these col
umns. there is nothing in the world
like being on the winning side! To be
able to get high perch on the band
wagon and there in self complacency
make faces at those politically bushed
that Is the height of political great
ness-henchmen's greatness, anyway.
William T. Cobb is a very able
man. Under ordinary circumstances
he\would make a very able candidate
for Senator's Hale's seat in the Sen
ate. But there is one very unfortu-
nate thing in connection with Mr..
Cobb's present candidacy, namely,
that he did not get away from the
wire with the bunch. He is now
trailer-and mark our prediction. the
flag is going to drop that will surely
outdistance him in the race. Under
ordinary circumstances, we should be
glad to give our support to a man
like the Ex-Governor, but when there
is no hope whatever there is no use
whatever.
But, the Rockland gentleman is not
so big a fool, politically speaking that
he thinks for one single instant that
he can oust Judge Powers from his
running and get his pace. Not bit
of 1t. There is much political wis
dom in connection with Mr.. Cobbs
candidacy. Senator Frye is not well;
Senator Frye is we'll along in years;
Senator Frye is likely to tender his
resignation at any tima When he
does, the Ex-Governor has been we'll
groomed for his place-he becomes
therefore "the logical candidate"
That Is easy.
But Governor Cobb and his consti-
tuency has ever been unfriendly to-
the Fernald-Ricker constituency
Congressman Burleigh backed the
Ex-Governor as against Governor Fer
nald in his first running for the gov
ernorship.
Thus the plot thickens.
1t isn't going to be Senator Cobb in
place of Senator Hale; it may be SEN
ator Cobb in place of Senator Frye.
But of all this more anon-How much
more?

Pussy and the Burglar.

A good dog has hitherto been con-
sidered the best protection against bur-
glars, but a certain old lady differs
from this view She believes In cats,
and, her house being broken into not
long ago, she proceeded to put her
theory into practice, and with marvel
ousiy good results. The midnight hour
had not long struck when she heard
unusual sounds in the hall below. She
slipped out of bed. took her faithful
feline In, her arms and walked quietly
on to the landing. She leaned over.
The burglar was on the stairs. Sud-
denly in an unucky moment he struck
a match upon the staircase. The lady
could see the burglar. but the burglar
could not see the lady. She held puss
up and then dropped her upon the bur-
glars head. The cat uttered an un-
earthly screech and then commenced
to scratch for all 1t was worth. Puss
was certainly the willing worker. The
next instant the man was outside In
