Gallinger, who is a candidate for re-
election in New Hampshire, and Uncle
Joe Cannon, who aspires 10 his old
seat in congress as a representative
from the Danville, Illinois, district, will
come up for the especial attention of
the chief of the Bull Moose party. In
any event, there has been no intima-
ton that Penrose, Gallinger or Cannon
have been showing any disposition to
join the welcome home to the gentle

The National Capital has been en-

a good deal about the elections that
are coming along in a few months, and
the proud gentlemen who whisk about

hotels where the high cost of living
figures out about as much for a single
dinner as a weeks board in a local
hotel in the interior of the country,

hats, which are more in favor among
the dear people" as election day ap-
proaches. There is something very
pleasant about this job of being a con-
gresham, and while it may not return
as much revenue as the more wealthy
men get out of private life, yet being
a congressman is about as near heaven
as a great many politicians ever ex-
pect to get, and therefore reelection
is very much desired by the gentle
men now in the saddle.

WHERE THE WORM TURNS

The Headlight has received a re-
quest from the state game warden to
announce that he is prepared to fur
nish fish for stocking private ponds.
1t is accompanied by the usual polite
regrets that he has no funds with
which to pay for the publicity, but
trusts that 1t may be published for
the general good. The Headlight and
all other papers of the state publish
notices Of this kind for the general
good in every issue. We are always
glad to boost a little, at our W ex
pense, but when we recall that the
state game warden has over 5000
in his fund and is getting gray headed
trying to think Of some way to spend
1t, and Is fooling it away in every man
ner that offers the least show of plaus-
Utility, we can think of only one reason
why he shouldn't send the newspaper
boys a dollar apiece for the locals he
wants to run. The reason Is because
be knows he doesn't need to.
