JUST FOLKS
THE HUMBLE FRIENDSHIPS.
By Edgar A. Guest.

When trouble comes and our skies
grow gray.
What We really need is the friendly
way
OF the kindly people who understand,
And not the manners of people grand.
The simple ways of the folks we know.
With their gentle speech and the
words that flow
Right out Of their hearts, mean more
10 us
Than style or fashion OF pomp and
fuss.
The ones who stick to US, thick or
thin,
Are the simple people who Just drop
in,
The friends who love US and never
care,
That old and worn is the garb we
wear.
The friends who live as we live, and
know
The self-same hurts and the self
same woe,
Are the ones who comfort US through
anu NAAOAhA
With the words they say and the
deeds they do.
Oh, I know We fancy it much worth
while
To win from the famous a feeting
| smile
Or a passing nod. But in days OF
/ pain,
Then style and fashion and pomp are
vain.
The gentle folks we have known for
years
Are the ones who comfort and dry ouI
tears.
For it's simple speech and a friendly
way
That we all must have when our skies
are gray.

NOT ENTIRELY PARTISAN.

IL will be pleasing TO all who favor
fair and honest elections. and espe-
cially contests for high office with
out the degrading accompaniment of
expenditures of large sums of money
for corruption purposes, to read the
vigorous speech of Senator Kenyon
of Iowa, yesterday in the United
States Senate, in opposition to the
seating of Senator Newberry of Michi-
gan. That Newberry's campaign was
notoriously corrupt in respect of the
lavish use of money was attested by
testimony under oath during his trial.
which resulted m. his conviction and
sentence to term in prison He was
saved only by a reversal OF his con-
viction by the Supreme Court Of the
United States, on a technicality.
Other Republican Senators are ex-
pected to vote against Newberry's
acceptance by the Senate, and as
nearly all the Democratic Senators
will do likewise, this Republican hos
tility will rob the Senate's verdict.
tC a large extent, of the tinge of par
tisanship. And a case of this char
acter is one that should be deter
mined entirely on the issues pre-
sented, without regard for the parti-
san interests Of either political party

SHADE TREES FOR HIGHWAYS.

A dispatch from Harrisburg brings
the news that systematic planting OF
trees along the State highways in for
est areas is to be undertaken next
year. Preference will be given roads
having the smallest number of poles
and wires. Whether the Highway De-
partment or the Forestry Department
is to handle the job is not stated IN
the dispatch; probably they viii col
laborate.
The Forestry Department is show
ing an increasing disposition to con-
slider trees as objects worthy of culti-
walton for their beauty alone. The
department has been so busy estab-
fishing forests as protective cover
on denuded watersheds. and for the
purpose of restoring Pennsylvania

little attention TO the planting of shade
trees. But signs have not been lack

Of forestry, also.
For example. seedlings, which pre-
viously were issued only to those who
would consent to set out a forest. or
at least goodsized grove of trees,
were given out in much smaller guam
titles this year to persons who OBJ
viously sought nothing more than TO
ornament their property. Nowhere
can shade trees be planted to greater
advantage than along the highways,
Not only will they protect wayfarers
from the suns heat in midsummer
| they will beautify the roads and sc
encourage people to travel more
Moreover, they will hold in place the
soil alongside the highways, and sc
tend to prevent washouts and land
slides.

CAMBRIDGE PAPER HONORS
MEMORY OF DIR. GRIFFITH.

"An old man is expected to die, but

several States on the basis Of 10 cents
for every Harding vote, a plan cur
iously lacking in imagination.

farm produce as the agricultural ele-

TO SCRAP LEAGUE BUT
TO BUILD ANOTHER.

The "bitter-enders" are becoming
morbid about it. Some of them now
realize that a League of Nations is
necessary for the peace of the world
and that through force of circum-
stances the United Staes would have
to be part thereof, but they are
equally emphatic that not a para
graph of the Versailles covenant can
be retained. That must be scrapped
to the last comma.
They are going to tear down the
temple Just reared and build another
one pretty much like it, but not a
stick of the old material can be used
in the construction.
Forty-eight families are living in
the building and are doing fairly well,
but the structure must be torn down
and every plank and timber burned

And after two years of wrangling
and the squandering of couple of
billions to keep up an unnecessary

that way? Some folks would think
it more like hallucination.
Anyhow, our statesmen give the
rest of the world amusement and that
helps some in making life enduroble.
