NOT QUITE so SILLY

The news columns have it that a
hosiery importer, in a recent inter
view, said that $500 is mot uncom-
mon price for silk hosiery" that the
wife of a Washington millionaire
buys $1,000 worth of hose at one pur-
chase, these to be worn but once
before turning over to the servants.
Well, the poor thing, should have a
change.
From this some of US, who find it
difficult to keep our cotton socks
properly darned. may experience a
reaction not unlike that received
from the reports during the war of
laboring men buying silk shirts by the
dozen. In either event we will hit
wide of the mark if we conclude
that rich women addicted to buying
hose at $500 per pair or laborers silk
shirts by the dozen are plentiful, or
ever have been, for that matter. The
human kind, as a whole, with all
its frailties, isn't so silly as all that
We will be doing an injustice to
assume 1t is.

CAMPAIGN IN FULL SWING

The Fall campaign political is now
in full swing. The Republicans Of
Androscoggin County had meetings
in nine places, Monday and this is
but the beginning. The Democrats
are said to be paying more attention
to organization than to oratory, but
Candidate Mclean is addressing
meetings throughout the State and
his wife Is cooperating in his cam
paign.
The indications are that the Re-
publicans are pretty we'll organized.
The team work displayed is attract
ing notice. Owing to the illness of
Senator Fernald Ex-Governor Baxter
IL speaking on national issues.
Governor Brewster Is insisting
that the voters shall consider
that very noticeable distinction
between what the Republican plat
form has to say about prohibition
and what the Democratic platform
doesn't say. He is also insisting that
his economical administration Of
State affairs shall not be overlooked,
and he continues to hold out the
promise Of tax reduction.
Evidently Mr.. Mclean seeks to
cast doubt on Governor Brewster's
conclusions that the revenues and
savings warrant tax reduction, but of
course the voters hope the Governor
10 right and a good majority is ex-
pected to help him to be right. Mean
while we are warming up to the
point when 1t will be difficult to con-
vince the voter he should disregard
narty lines this Fall.

(By Edward Shaw-Sunday Times)
The old road, the winding road,
That rambles through the town.
They filled its way with laughter,
Who loitered UP and down;
Now hushed the merry voices.
The lads and lasses goife,
But the old road, the broad road,
Goes rambling, rambling on.
But times I see 1t bearing
Our tardy steps to school,
We saunter in the shadows,
We linger by the pool;
And times I hear II ringing
With wedding peal and song-
Brave with the gala havors
OF some forgotten throng.
And times they come, in silence.
Who bear a silent load
The highway marks him passing
Who treads no earthly road.
The broad road. the winding road,
The way Of smiles ana tears.
And still a many leagues to bear
The burden of the years:
The pleasant wales are calling
The tickle feet to roam,
Yet the old road, the white road,
At last shall bring US home.
