GETTING BY WITH 1T

Senator James A. Reed takes a
few minutes off his sleuthing for
campaign contributions to blame
President Coolidge for not stopping
the lavish use of these; also to tell
the world that this country is
suffering because Of the protective
tariff; also that the American work
ingmen get bigger pay because OF
their organized efforts to force their
wealthy employers to divide profits.
OF course he entirely overlooked
patent fact that where there are
no profits there can be no division
of them.
Neither did he say how President
Coolidge might have prevented the
lavish campaign expenditures in
Pennsylvania and Illinois. A Presi-
dent capable of doing that would
have to enjoy the power of a Mus
solini, of a car without a parlia-
ment to interfere.
No, Senator Jim" did not go into
details. To have done so would have
disproyed his statements. He evil
IDENTIFY expected some of his hearers
to swallow the misstatements-and
probably some of them did.

to Hooty Tooty Owl:

Begone, say again to you,

Then away few that wicked old owl,
and in a minute or three the little rab-

with the story:

landed a fish,"
Bow. wow!" barked Pixie Pup, as

you would have lost the fishing pole!"
Just then there came loud crashing

snorted and Pixie Pups hair stood up
on his back. The Pixies jumped to
their feet as big black bear bounded
! towards them.
With a snort of terror the horses
broke loose and galloped off. Pixie
Pup stood his ground for a moment,
but when the big black bear made for

A REPRESENTATIVE CANDIDATE

It is evident from such of the re-
turns as have been received that Hon.
Arthur r. Gould Of Pressure Isle has
been nominated by plurality Of Re-
publican votes in contest with four
corners as their candidate for the
u. 8. Senate to fill the vacancy &C.
oasioned by the death Of Senator Fer
maid, the term to expire in 1881.
The vote has been light though not
rs small as many expected, consider
ing that but one office featured and
the inducements for getting out votes
In the interests Of many local candi-
dates were lacking. One may well
wish, however, that for such an i'm
portant office more Republicans had
been willing to express preference
at the polls. The appeals to the
voters have for the most part been
dignifed. The feeling that the north
ern part Of the State should have
representation accounts for share
In the results, though Portland does
not appeal unwilling that one Of the
Senators should come from northern
Maine.
The aspirants are clean representa-
tive men. From these has been
selected one, who has demonstrated
beyond question that he is possessed
of constructive vision, that he has q
capacity for doing as well as for see
ing. a man whose judgment COM
mands the respect of his associates
and all who have his acquaintance
AS a member Of the United States
Senate he will serve Maine with
credit.

ton. A crack shot with both rifle and
shotgun, they are convinced that he
is the youngest boy in the country who
is nimrod thoroughly adult in capa-

the bagging of 10 black ducks and

hours out upon the bay off his home.
He went out alone in the first stirring

hours later with his bursting bag.
The birds are all good-sized and were
Clearly shot. His craftsmanship with
the rifle is just as remarkable as his
skill with the shotgun. He can plug a

practice and expects, when a few
years older to become a champion
