In looking over The political field
we are considerably surprised at the
number of "favorite sons" totted out
by the two great political parties.
We presume they are all great men.
or at least they would like to be con-
sidered great. At any rate, being a
favorite son entities one to certain
kind if distinction, and also gets his
name in the newspapers. But if they
are seeking newspaper publicity and
political distinction, both can be east

that chestnut we are for them, all of
them, for anything they want. And
one can be favorite son, but it is
going to require more than that to
keep us off the rocks during the next
few years. We need a man who can
reach the chestnut, regardless of what
his political affiliations may be.

TELLS OF MOTHER WHO
LEFT HER BABY.

Not being a married man, / am
not actually acquainted with the
subject, but from what 1 Have seen
Of the married life Of one Of my best
friends, i feel qualified to write a
little on the subject.
My friend was married in the
early part Of 1916, and for the first
three yeas everything seemed ideal
with him. In November, 1917, a
baby girl came to them. which
seemed to complete their happiness,
but as the old saying goes, Life is
not q bed of roses"
In December, 1919, adverse cir
cumstances changed things. and he
was away from his wife for a few
weeks, and upon hfs return he found
that she had disposed of all they
had and was working in a store in
Washington, leaving the baby with
her married sister. and although he
offered her all he could, she refused
to come back to him because, as she
put 1t, she would have to lose her
Independence" by doing SO.
That So ms to be the general
sentiment Of the girls Of today. As
long as they can go where they
please or do what they please, they
forget everything else, even the
little one intrusted to them by God.
They never stop to think what
life would have meant to them had
they been forced by some unkind
fate to grow to womanhood not

reckoned that of Lord sage and
Sele. 1t was in its origin the
Barony by Writ Of Saye, created
in 1913, and extinct or in abey-

1447 in favor Of Fiennes OF
Hurstmonceaux, who took the ad-
ditional title of "Sele," which
comes from one of the Seals in
Kent-perhaps the village of Seal,
near Sevenoaks The title of
"Saye" was assumed by reason OF
