FOUND TO BE ABSURD

Again we are reminded that those
who charged the Republican organ
ization with corrupt uses o. slush
fund in the November election either
did not know what they were talk
ing about or were maliciously lying;
Senator Borah's committee has filed
its report refuting these charges. No
intelligent person expected anything
else, No one questions the honesty
Of the report, and there. you are.
OF course this committee recon-
mends changes in the law which 1t
assumes would improve matters.
Perhaps improvement would result
and perhaps it wouldn't, 1t isn't
quite clear why all the money that
might be needed in the home State
Of the President, for instance, should
not be subscribed by the Republicans
of that State, although this rule
might not always work well. That Is
what so often happens to alleged i'm
provements one instinctively wishes
10 take a little time for looking
them over before acquiescing in all
that is claimed for them.
Senator Walsh Of Massachusetts,,
a member of this committee, would
prevent by law the collecting OF
funds in one State for expenditure
in another. Essays: This practice
may we'll become the subject Of
abuse and lead to evil and corrupt
practices, and results" Also it is
conceivable that 1t might not.
Nowadays money is needed for
educational purposes, or as some
might term it, for propaganda. Many
people recall that owing to circum-
stances there was great unrest in the
agricultural sections Of the West
last summer. that in consequence the
restless were looking to quack REM
edies being psddied by quacks. Evil
IDENTIFY the only way in which that
might be counteracted was by COL
lecting and distributing the informa-
ton among those people, which
would convince them as to the ex-
act situation. -.-
Under such circumstances 1t would
be too much to expect that the
money with which to do this might
have been raised among those dis
affected Republicans. They were
not in 4 mood to pay for being
shown the error Of their ways. Yet
there are q lot Of folks. and they are
not all Republicans, who are glad
that the minds Of the disaffected
were brought back to normal, that
they were aided in discovering the
utter fallacies of those who would
mislead them, those, who by the way,
were the originators Of absurd
charges, now disproved by this
Borah committee.

Rio Practices Jazz
As Carnival Comes

Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 20.-(A. p. by
MaiD.-Rio de Janeiro has started
training for the carnival. Social
clubs throughout the city. with the
exception of the aristocratic suburbs
on the ocean beaches, are now giving
dances every saturday night, and the
people are staging street battles OF
confetti. Amateur orchestras and
bands are practicing American jazz
and the make, the Brazilian national
dance.
Carnival opens on the Saturday
night preceding Ash Wednesday and
continues until Tuesday, when the en-
tire city surges down town to see the
evening float parade.

MAINE GOSSIP


By gosh, the pesky road resolves
Are comm fast an faster,
It pears that every single town
Hez met with some disaster.
So they're obleeged to call upon
The State fer q sum o money,
To help 'em out, they're SO hard up,
1t sartinly is funny.
That road committeell hev to set
Up nights an work on Sundays,
If they git all their business done
In bout six weeks from Monday.
That gol darned daylight savin' time
on Wednesday he'd an airin',
Farmers an city men appeared,
The controversy sharin.'
The case wuz touched on from all
pints,
An Portland tried to win It.
While all the Oranges in the State
Seemed jinin' forces gin it.
A hearin' on Potato Day"
Took up about minute,
Fer Jest one man peared for the bill,
An no one spoke agin 1t.
If all the bills an new resolves
Should pass, an then be lawful.
Jined TO what laws we already hev.
Great snakes, it would be awful!
