Canadian potatoes under the en-

fact these Canadian spuds were not

A LITTLE FOGGY

Notwithstanding the temerity re-
quired to put ones self in place OF
q congressman, one doubtless would
receive congressional pardon If he
expressed the opinion that 1t Is but
natural for a member of that great
parliament, subject to special ses-
sions and all that, to regard his
present salary altogether too meager.
On the other hand, who of US by
reason OF training and experience
Gould be expected to have an ear so
attuned to the popular acclaim as is
that Of a normal congressman?
This being so, the congressional
ear has conspicuously failed, 1t
would seem. Is this the psy-
Geological moment for Congress.
when it is supposed to be striving to
ind a way to appease its postal SER
vice constituents with an increased
wage, when the President is making
his old, dull ink eraser do, as the
supply Of new ones has become ex-
hausted, when the defenders OF the
budget are grinding their pruning
hooks, is this the psychological
moment for the congressman to for
get all else and first vote himself
an increased stipend?
! This is not saying that we should
not have in Congress men capable of
commanding greater salaries than
Uncle Sam pays; neither is it say
ing that. judged by its present per-
formances. the country is enjoying
that felicitous condition Of being
represented by those whose work
warrants higher pay. There are ex-
ceptions Of course; there always are.
! One might have supposed the con-
gresham is endeavoring to estab-
lish a fellow feeling with all his
constituents by inviting veto of his
pwn salary raise along with the
bthers, but If SO why should he
make his claim take precedence OF
the others? So, while we can under
stand the rythm and the reason OF
tho Congressman's desire for a
salary that will pay his expenses, 1t
is difficult to understand the
processes Of his political thought
which induced him to vote for it at
this particular time.

small amount and yet if we are to
save pounds, we must begin with the
pennies. The practice of economy
should so with the preaching Of

of are but a small part as the Journ-
al admits. Municipal officials and
ballot clerks must be in attendance
and the voters time must be taken
into consideration; all these must go
for publicity and of what kind? Not
of Names industrial activities, it's

out how Maine women are going to
vote or as the Journal puts it. that
Maine is to be in the political focus
of attention.
The same results would be attain
ed by straw ballot with but small
cost in comparison to an election.
The Journal speaks of the informa-
ton that comes through a speaking
campaign as tho the people of Maine
are better prepared to get informa-
ton by hearing than by reading.
Now If this were SO good an ar
rangement why have the other states
not caught on and so plan to hold
I their several elections at such times
as TO keep campaignerS continually
at work educating the masses?
The whole arrangement seems to
be partisan. In other words that

millions of bottles of Johr,o

There is nothing so positively
good as this doctors prescription for

Throat, Cramps, Chills, etc. More
than 100 years of splendid success
has attended the internal and ex-
ternal use Of this famous old family
remedy.

that many 25 or SO cent bottle of
