Is the object TO make material for a
war cry" for some candidate for gov
ernor who has no ideas for his plat
form except the elementary idea Of
economy?
The ideas in some of the resolutions
suggested will not fit into a pay-as-
you-go platform, because it is pro-
posed in them to cut all expenses
whether necessary and expedient or
not. The consistent pay-as-you-go
candidate must favor keeping our
schools, highways and institutions in a
high state Of efficiency as we go along
He will not advocate or favor any So
called economy which simply puts off
paying the bill until some future time.
He knows that neglect of roads,
schools and institutions means more
expense for the future.
Neither will the idea Of arbitrarily
slashing expenses appeal TO candi
date who offers in his platform a real

business man knows that there is more
10 farsighted administration than mere
expense cutting. The proposed reso-
luton will be food and drink for some
candidate with one idea.
No doubt many and varied resolu
tons will be passed at many town
meetings, and some watchful candidate
will adapt himself to them, all and
several, and announce himself as the
peoples economy candidate. 1t is
great economy Of brains and energy to
have such a platform ready made.

SkoWhegan Girls
Lay Claim to Title
as Basketball Champs

From the articles in the Kenncbcc
Journal of March IS, it appears that
the South Portland ana COny High
scho seXtets arc thought by some
to be the best in tho state. In this
article it was said that Cony High
was the only indicated team, there
fore picked by South Portland for a
possible championship game. Let no
one labor under the wrong impress
sion that Cony is as yet indicated,
for the SkGwhegan High school girls
have twice defeated the Cony High
girls. Therefore placing the former
slightly ahead in the championship
race.
SkoWhcgan High school was repre-
scented this year by a very fast group
OF girls, taking defeat only at the
hands of the fast Watcrville seXtet.
WinsloW and Oakland proved easy
victories besides the two victories
over Cony. SkowhoEan also has two
victories over the Coburn Classical
girls, thought by some 10 have a very
fast team, strongly emphasized by
their victory over Watcrviilc the past
week. Tho Sk0WhcCan High school
girls should not he overlooked when
the question Of picking the best SEX
tCt of Maine is considered.
