REV. MIR. coRNFoRp RETURNS,

The return of Rev. Harry Cornford to the Canaan Methodist church, for his fifth year, will be generally gratifying to the members of his church and the people of Canaan. MT. Cornford has done much for the church and society during his pastorate here, and has gained a warm place in the esteem of the con- munity as popular citizen and neigh Dor. It is especially gratifying that the Conference has returned him, in view of the recently created interest of the men of his church in the Brotherhood moye- ment and the plans which the Brother hood have in contemplation, under his leadership, and the prediction seems ra- tional, that the coming year of the Canaan Methodist church is destined to be the most fruitful of good results, that it has enjoyed in long time.

CHANGE INAUGURATION DAY

The matter of establishing a safe and sane inauguration day for our presidents has been under discussion for genera tions, and eventually, like woman suf- rage, it's got to come. Discussing the question editorially the Bridgeport Standard says:
 Tt took about hundred years of ex- perience of very direct and convincing character to pursuade our national legis- lators that the Fourth of March was too early in the season for the inauguration ceremonies at Washington, and @ lot of people fell victims to the exposure con- sequent upon the inclemency of the weather. We do not know that the ex- perience has been effective yet for the bill calling for change to milder sea son still hangs heavy on it's passage. Common sense and the demonstrated facts should settle it's fate and make @ law of it directly. One other item looms large on the list of things that need cor rection, and that is the presidential term. Present experience has called attention to the good sense of the proposition that The term be made longer and the presi- dent then be ineligible to reelection. We care not whether the term be six or eight years, although we should prefer the longer limit but this matter should be made into law as soon as possible and the periodic upheavals with all the dam- age which they do, and which must in evitably accompany them to greater or less extent, be separated by longer per iod of peace and quietness with a chance for somebody beside the politicians to reap beneht."

Judge and Justice.

To the Editor of The News:
 The question of cleaning crosswalks or sidewalks of snow and mud is settled. Judge George Ford, while busy cleaning his own sidewalk, looked up and saw Justice A. T. Roraback and his foreman, Bills, cleaning the crosswalk in front of the Canfield block. The Justice with shovel threw the mud so fast little Bills had to hustle to throw it back or get buried. Now Judge Ford says, 1t is just the way they do business here in Canaan. When & man gets a good job, where he is popular with the ladies, some one comes along and butts in, and that Justice Roraback is not sat. isfied with holding the biggest office. but must rush up when Judge Ford was busy, and clean the OAnfield orosswalk a foot wider than the walk each side, so 1t would not want cleaning again all day, so that Ford could not have an ex- ouse for spending an hour cleaning that walk, which he had sojealously cleaned for the last seven years that he has lived in the Candeld block, so the dear la- dies, when passing. would say: How thoughtful and kind in you, MT. Ford ]"
 Now it is all up. Judge Ford says Justice Roraback can clean that walk, from now on, for he, Ford, is through {; and if Justice Roraback don't ever clean it again he will bet the profit on a new piano it will never be cleaned by any denlzen of Canaan. A WITNESS.

FANCIES.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WAIT

Sometimes when l am dreaming Alone among the trees, A'talking with my memories,
 fancy that the breeze Somehow blows softer, sweeter, As if it bent to hear Those bells of memory, chiming Their tones so low, so dear. And sometimes-is it fancy
 Or do the breezes bring Another's memories floating
 To join the songs 1 singf And is it that some dear one
 Is thinking now of me, Ana that the gentle breezss
 Wait me that reverie2 But, are these only fanciesf
 Is it an idle thing To hold the magic power
 Of happiness to fling, And let the breezes hear them To dear ones far awayF Then let's be glad of fanoies
 And send fond dreams each day.

With the following sentiment uttered by the Waterbury American we cordial ly agree: "For all the laughter which Uncle Horace Johnson's s approximations have caused in those who think he is just blufdng, it sort of trips the heart to hear him foretell hls own doom with resignation. May this forecast prove more undeniably untrustworthy than some of his others. After all, in this case as in the others, the truth of his oracles depends much on the weather. |"

CON-
TEST WARMING UP
AUTO CONTEST MOVING; MANY
CONTESTANTS GAINING, AND
PUBLIC ENJOYS SPORT
AUTOMOBILE is WAITING IN THE
DIBBLE GARAGE WAITING
FOR A NEW OWNER.

The automobile to be given away
free by the Brown-Hart Co. and the
Idaho Republican, stands in the Dib-
BILE Garage awaiting the smile of it's
owner-to-be and the public looks on
with interest to see how the various
contestants push their part in the
big game of winning votes and get
ting votes, for some can be obtained
by being agreeable in their arrange
ments, and actually winning people
over, while others are obtained by
working in the usual ways of busi-
ness, ma ring sales of merchandise
for the Brown-Hart Company, and
getting Inscriptions, job printing
and advertising for the Idaho Rep
ublican.
Any contestant who drops out of
the race loses the votes already cast
for her, for votes once voted are lex
hausted, like the electric current
when once used, or the cake once
eaten. so there is no encouragement
to drop out. Who knows! The
lowest one to-day may be the highest
on the 4th of January, for a dark
horse sometimes becomes United
States senator or president of the
United States. The public is ac-
cused of being tickle and switching
it's favors. mother way of stating
it is that the public enjoys jokes and
playing tricks at unexpected moments
SO nobody knows who will win any
more than they know who will be
president next June.
Many of the contestants who are
not near the front have made sub
stantial gains this week, and M.
Rouff, who lives out on the west
side of the river, went on the sub
scription list this week paid up to the
year 1922.
The person for whom the most votes
are cast the current week, ending
Wednesday the 14th, will receive the
choice of gold watch, French
doll, life size, or German silver
hand bag. This gives test OF
strength among the candidates, and
a chance for the public to pass the
good things along according to their
own wishes. Following is the stand
ing this week.
