Editorial Comment
Grand Old Maine.
Oath Times.)


We had quite a little cold snap of
our own last week. Mercury went
Gown to 25 below one day, at the
coolest point reported. but that was
not an unlocked for thing in Maine.
In fact, we expect few of those cold
snaps every year and when a winter
goes by that we do not get one or
more Of them we miss them. We do
not mean to say that we enjoy such
temperatures but we had rather live
in Maine than in any state in the
Union, even if we do have them. We
also expect considerable snow in
Maine in winter, some years we get
1t, some years there is but little.
Tapping on wood. will say that up to
now Maine has not had much snow
this year. Candlemas day comes on
Thursday and winter is half over ac-
cording to the almanac, and two
thirds gone according to fact and
average conditions.
Now. while we expect the snow
and cold here in winter we are
equipped for it. We raise only such
trees as can stand that sort of thing
anu Ouf IlOiIleS are DtlllI 10 De COM
Portable, even when the mercury is
flirting with 20 to 25 below. In the
South, and in California, it is differ
ent. Both those sections have been
visited by severe cold and the former
has been buried under such blanket
of snow as it has not seen for score
of years. People in those sections do
rot expect such temperatures and
such SHOWS. They are not equipped
to cope with them, as we are up here
in Maine, and their homes are not
built for that sort of thing. Their
fruit trees do not withstand such
conditions Of the elements and as
result they suffer great losses in their
orchards and orange groves.
Old Maine may have her outs but
she is grand old state for all of
that. We admit that the weather
and temperature are subject to
change without notice, and We have
to be ready for most anything that
comes along. but we are ready, pre-
pared, and that is the great secret.
Maine in summer or winter is the
best place on earth after all.

Speaking of "fifty-f fifty" nepotism
and such like, here's the way a Rich
mond, Mass, couple propose to keep
the town clerk in the family. When
the husband was nominated by one
PARTY the wife got a nomination from
the only other political party in town.
This rather lays over the arrange
ment whereby the husband supports
enc candidate in a neighborhood row
and the wife supports the other.
