MILFORD, FRIDAY, APRIL "a, 1926
MARK TWAIN never wrote the
word metropolis" but always used
the word city" He said he got just
as much money for the shorter word
conveyed the same meaning, and
saved lot of time. After all, wealth
is the sum-total of our margins.

KICKING is A HABIT, and may
be either natural or acquired. The
habit of complaining, of criticising,
of fault finding, or grumbling over
trifes, habit of looking for shad-
Ows, is a most unfortunate habit to
contract, especially in early life The
victim is sure to become a slave. All
the impulses will become perverted.
The tendency to pessimism and Gym
icism will become chronic.

MABLE OSGOOD WRIGHT declar-
ed that there is no other flower so
completely woven into the history
of the human race as is the rose. 1t
is fitting that the rose should be the
universal flower. For it is one of the
few blossoms that, like true love it.
self, preserves it's fragrance beyond
its mortal life and never knows cor
ruption. If it's blooming time is
feeting, so much the more is it pre-
cious.

MANY of the worlds adventures
are only spirits out on the high seas
without chart or compass. There is
a strange alchemy in a wandering
life that tends to deaden the mem
ory of the happy years. And yet, if
they could only be shared the sweet
est memories would live again. There
never was a time in the history of
affections dying fame that it could
not be famed into lambert glow
again. Happy the soul that deter
mines to do it.

THERE is NO QUESTION but
that there was more behind the OPP
position to the passage of the du
Point school building plan than mas
been brought to the surface. We
cannot believe that the demand for
a referendum was made in good
faith, for the wording was such that
the passage of the feature would
have been to no effect One amend
ment provided that the referendum
should be held "at the next general
election in 1927" On the face of it
this is silly. There is no election of
members of the General Assembly in
1927, for the next election will be in /
1926. Was this an error, or was it f
the intent to befog the issue? An c
other amendment suggested pro- I
vided that the matter should be vot- v
ed for at a special election to be c
called by the governor" This was G
unconstitutional, for the constitution @
specifically provides that the COVER a
nor shall call special elections only il
10 fill vacancies in office or emer- [
5encies. The legislature itself is the h
only body authorized to provide for C
special elections for other purposes. h
surely those senators who proposed O
hese amendments knew what the W
of our state provided, j.
