FRESH PORK OMELET.

For breakfast we will find IT very con-
venicnt to grind any scraps or oven some
of the fat which may be available from
that roast pork. and to thus dispose or
all the remnants which will not work
up into fairly good slices.
If we use the fat portion. It will he
good to try out for frying, if needed.
and can add some bacon or lean ham run
through the meat grinder 50 rs not to
have too much fat in the omelet Clear
fat from tho roast would be far too
greasy but scraps including more Of fat
than would be agreeable in using for soma
other purpose can be ground with little
lean ham as suggested and folded into
an omolet to fairly good advantage.

The very interesting story OF her ad-
ventures and experiences at the begin
mig of the European war, and OF the
voyage home, told by Mrs. Evelyn +.
Frost on another page, brings to mind
the many contributors to The Journal
in the past whose writings have not
only been of interest to our readers but
of high literary value. No other coun-
try newspaper within our knowledge has
had anything like the amount or variety
of such contributions by local talent. In
recent years we have had from Mrs. Au-
pusta S. Frederick and Mr.. Charles w.
Frederick entertaining accounts OF what
they have seen in their winter sojourns
in the South-in New Orleans, or historic
St. Augustine. Mr.. Alfred johnson,
skilful navigator, scholar, and man OF
the world, has written of catboat voy-
age from Nassau, N. p, to New York.
and on other matters of interest. Mrs.
Emile A. Favre formerly Miss Grace
Denslow, summer resident of Stockton

liphtful articles on Corsica, which later
we're translated into French and publish

In the campaign preceding the special
election last September in the Third Con-
pressional district Edgar F. Hanson pub
lished twelve reasons why he could not
support Mr.. Pattangall and sent out
thousands of copies of his "non-partl'
san" newspaper advocating the election
of Mr.. Peters, the Republican candidate.
Mr.. Peters was elected, and Mr.. Hanson
claimed all the credit for his election.
This year, having shaken hands with
Mr.. Pattangall to escape political DEATH
the Democratic candidate had Hanson S
support in the campaign that closed Sept.
14th. the district was flooded with his
"ncn- partisan " newspaper containing
column after column of criticism and
censure of the Republican candidate
and Mr., Peters was reelected by large

voters.

There is one feature of the election in
this county which is very gratifying to
the friends of law and order, and that is
the large majority by which Sheriff
Cushman was reelected. 1t is a moral
rather than political victory, as many
Democrats cast their votes for Mr..
Cushman in recognition of his faithful
and impartial performance of the duties
of the city and county was clearly de-
fined. Though not so publicly stated, it
was generally understood that the cleo
ton of Democratic sheriff would mean
more or less open rumselling, while under
Sheriff Cushman the prohibitory law
would be enforced without fear or favor.
Upon that issue the voters of Waldo
county have declared themselves in no
uncertain terms Mr.. Knowlton, the Dem
ocratic candidate for sheriff, was form
erly Republican, and was an aspirant
for the office when a member of that
party. He has many friends in both
political parties, and his defeat Is not due
to personal reasons but to the policy for
which he stood-a policy that is repug
nant to many Democrats. What is true
of Sheriff Cushman's reelection applies
lso to the election of Walter A. Cowan
as county attorney to succeed Eben F.
Littlefield, the Democratic incumbent.
MIR. Cowan is a young man who stands
high in the estimation of all who know
him and his statement of his position
when candidate in the primary for
nomination impressed every one with his
sincerity and honesty of purpose. 1t is
only just to say of Mr.. Littlefeld that he
has done his duty as he saw it, that he
has enforced the prohibitory law as far
as could be expected with his party be-
hind him opposed to enforcement, and
that o one has ever questioned his strict
integrity. That he was defeated and
Mr.. Cowan elected is due to the differ
ent policies for which they stood. Now,
after January l, 1915, we shall have
sheriff and county attorney working in
harmony, and it will be up to the judges
of the Supreme Judicial court to decide
whether we shall have enforcement OF
t he prnhibitory law or notification.

Mondays election was very quiet TO-
cally, though the interest was intense
and every effort was made to get voters
to the polls. 1t was known quite early
in the evening that the county had gone
Republican while the result in the State
was in doubt. The defeat of Governor
Haines and the election of Curtis was
not altogether surprise, and is due to
the Progressive vote. The returns, To-
cal and State, tell the story.
