-.
All, tonight amid the shadows of our
cherished deep repose,
Sweetness fingers in the silence as
the lifelong story goes,
And contentment is revering in the
slow reflective mood
AS sweet meditation fingers in the
realms of solitude.
Lo! The burdens of existence III the
music roll away
AS the evening shadows wander and
we meet the daWning day:
Let the blessings Of inception lead US
ever i'll the right
Ali, the many miles between us call
me home to you tonight.
AS the years 80 rolling past, and our
heads are lOw!y bent
We recall the treasured evenings. and
and tune up the instrument:
Oh, the evening shadows blend us and
beseech the fond recall
AS the charming shades of evening
gather round US i'll the fall.
Let the evening shadows part US ~
i. this message Of revere;
All, the silent moments bark us to our
former memories dear.
And with sweetest words OF goodness
for future all serene
shall leave, you--yet be with, you
as secluSiOn ends the scene.

The New York Times seeks to min
imize the significance of the election
in the twenty third congressional dis.
trict of New York, where the repnbli.
can candidate, William S. Bennett, a
nonresident of the district, be it not
ed, wiped out a constant democratic
plurality of some 5000 and was elect.
ed by something like a thousand mar
gin. The Times would like to al
tribute Mr.. BENEFITS success to the
assumption that the voters decided
that Bennett. with his large expert.
ence and his well tested capacity,
would be safer representative than
an untried man. In other words, Mr..
Bennett is a republican. Candidates
of the republican party are generally
men of large capacity" and well
tested experience" The test in the
twenty-third district was direct and
positive test between democracy and
republication, and that is all there
is to il.
