And he said unto me, It ia done am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of life freely. Revelation 21:5-6. No woman is an old maid until Jie dresses like one. :o: It now appears, that the Coolidge landslide was a dry landslide. :o: It does not pay to save for the rainy days if you learn to despite the sunshine. :o: Have you ever kissed a girl whose teeth stick out too far? If you have not, then don't. :o: The demand for a man who is in terested in someone besides himself always exceeds the supply. :o: Conversation Is a great thing. If it were not for talking so much some people would have to think. :o: Young T. R. wants a place in poll- tics in his own right. The president joins New York state in filing the application. :o: Tur!:ey3 never will get down to bed-rock again, so the common peo ple can have one for Thanksgiving or Christmas. o:o True beauty, says Alia Nazimovr, is of the soul. This is the first in timation we have had that Nazimova is beginning to fade. :o: Wouldn't it be nice if a woman could get a hair bob on approval so that if she decided she didn't want it she needn't take it. :o: ' The public should be informed that this civil war in China has been going on for thirteen years, now. The Chinese aren't fighting again, but yet. : :o: A New Rork gambler says he is going to spend the rest of his life writing poetry. The police should watch this fellow. He's gyp to some thing. :o: r- Sir Oliver Lodge sajs heaven is very much like this place. Which makes Sir Oliver sound very much like a real estate agent. But Sir Oliver is causing a lot of curiousity among the "apprentice optimists as to what the other place may be like. :o: In the family medicine cabinet nowadays there is a tube of shaving cream, a tube of cold cream, a tube of tooth paste, and a tube of menthol balsam, all tubes of the same general size and "feel." Thank goodness, it doesn't make much difference which tube you get none will do much harm. :o: A Detroit young woman stenogra pher advertises that she wishes a po sition in hte employ of "a business man who is gentlemanly, consider ate, appreciative of honest efforts, and no harm done if he is a little handsomer than ordinary." We don't see how any prospective em ployer could resist that kind of flat tery. :o: Publication of income tax returns brought to light many an industrial romance. The second largest income taxpayers in Maine a man and wife were in very moderate circum stances a few years ago. They be came rich, manufacturing paper pic plates. The easiest road to wealth is to make or distribute a necessity. Select something people have to have. Devote your time and energies to it. A "good living" is almost certain. :o: Captain Kidd wasn't a pirate. .To the extreme contrary, he was an of ficer of the law, a chaser of pirates. This amazing claim Is made by Ho mer II. Cooper, writing in American Mercury magazine. .Consider the evidence on the other side. Which are we to believe? Maybe safety lies in accepting both that Kidd was a Jekyll and Hyde, a pirate a,nd policeman alternating. History is filled with inaccuracies. That's hu man. Consider how rival politicians and factions make it impossible to learn the exact truth about the pres ent, let alone the past. while the In Turkey a woman face with a-veil-able. :o: covers her A hard winter is looked for and much suffering in consequence. :o: Hughes resign? Not much, un less Coolidge requests him to do so. :o: fun your trousers oft over your shoes and it will keep them shining. o:o The only way to stop dancing cheek to cheek dancing is to marry the girl. :o: You can't leave many footprints on the sands of time by leaving heel- prints on j'our desk. :o: What we hate about lumbago i3 that it hasn't anymore sense than to attack a good man. :o: Nobody feels more like a jackass than a man getting his first real store-book manicure. :o:- Get in shape for the Big Bargain Day next Wednesday. More bar gains than ever before. -o:o- It is better to begin at the bottom and work up than to begin in the middle and stay there. o:- While it may be prosperity in the east, we have not had an inkling of it in the west. Just yet. :o: Something tells us that wide gray pants will be out of fashion by the time we come into ours. :o: - Nowadays a good father is one who can wear the boy's old clothes when he buys a new suit. o:o Bobbed hair, which was at first considered a passing fad, seems real ly to be a contagious disease. :o: Always pretend to be surprised when a man says he is married and when a woman says she isn't. :o: Nature hits things off about right after all. What if a cat had to carry insurance on all nine of his lives? o:o Pavlova, the dancer, plans to re tire after another American tour They usually have to tour America before retiring. :o: Humanity is full of ingenuity. By the time we wild-eyed reformers have blocked one pathway to de struction the devil opens up at least seven new avenues to hell. -o:o Catch a cross-word puzzter, throw him down and go through his pock ets, and if he is a real one, you will find at least five pencil stubs and three rubber erasers on his person. :o: With Wisconsin as a nucleus Br'er La Follette purposes to build up a party of the first part that will in the course of time sweep the other states into line like a vacuum cleaner. o:o The next big motor car improve ment, we are told, will be hydraulic 4-wheel brakes, operated from the steering wheel instead of by a pedal. This will reassure harassed pedes trians who had begun to fear brakes were being omitted from motor me chanics altogether. o:o Those who, just before election, were nervously urging the abolish ment of the "clumsy way we have of electing presidents by the electoral college, with the possibilities of deadlock." probably have recovered their composure and will worry about other things until Mr. La Fol lette renews his fight, as he has promised, in 1928. :o: It comes to this: That Mr. La Fol lette is leading the same sort of movement that he has led for years. His strength is the same strength in certain specific areas on issues lo-l cally important. His victories are j the same victories. For where he won any measure of succpsn lnet ' Tuesday it was not in, the presiden tial elections but in congress. Enough La Follette men will return to both the senate and the house to give Mr. La Follette another bloc, probably not large enough to con trol either assembly but large enough to cause the regular republi cans no end of trouble. To that end, as if it were their goal, in the clos ing weeks of the campaigns the pro gressive leaders bent their efforts. The coal man smiles, iceman feels gloomy. :o: DEMOCRACY NOT DEAD ! Despite the terrific trouncing, de mocracy is not dead. Democracy has faith in John W. Davis. It is of course futile to at tempt a forecast of what may happen within the next four years, but to day, John W. Davis looks to us like the man on whom we can rely for leadership in 1928. Davis made a great candidate, and a great campaign. The charm of the man his high character, his great brain, his clear, sympathetic under standing of public issues have grown on the people. He made a campaign under diffi culties. He did not get support in some sections where he should have received it, but he made a good fight, and after four years more of Cool idge the country will be looking for and ready to receive a man of his ability, vision and leadership. The democratic party must keep alive its zeal and enthusiasm, in spite of defeat. It will take fine courage to do this, but we must bear in mind that the institutions of de mocracy are under constant attack, between as well as in campaigns. Those who esteem the principles that have made their country great should not allow themselves to be rocked to sleep merely because the air is no Ions er-filled with pleas which in the lr.st analysis called for their destruc tion. Popular government presupposes a nation of individuals perpetually on guard against destructive influences. The watch cannot end when a cam paign ends. Those who would tear down are at work all the time, try ing to undermine the government that gives them liberty. The task of the defense runs from sun to sun everj' day of the year. :o: MAKING A MOCKERY OF REFQRM The campaign is over and the ver dict rendered. The issues and per sonalities of this particular contest may be put aside, but a lesson has been learned which should be taken to heart. The work of the Borah committee has demonstrated one thing, at least that the present corrupt practice act" is a miser able farce, utterly worthless, and worse than futile. The investigation has also dis closed the necessity for a law with teeth that is really intended to reach the evils that will finally sap the vi tality of the state if permitted to continue. ''There is something disheatrening In the mockery of these anti-corrup tion acts. The men who have fcamed them have known precisely what they were intended to reach. They have been written by practical poli ticians who have been able to antici pate all the various ways in which corruptionists and privileged inter ests may evade them. Thev have been the work of able alwyers who know exactly how to frame a law that can be made effective. And the only conclusion to be drawn from their grotesque failure is that the framers have had no serious thought of doing what they pretend ed to do. There has been a mocking of the public conscience, and an in decent indifference to the enforce ment of decency on the part of law makers in Washington. To this may be ascribed much of the cynicism of the citizen. Will congress have the decency to do the decent thing in the interest of political decency before another elec tion? Not unless decent citizens de mand it. :o: A good name, like riches, is often faked. :o: -. A question we may be called upon to decide soon is whether home-brew has any injurious effects on bathtub plumbing. :o: The man who thinks he will be in dependent when he gets rich discov ers when he gets rich that he never war; so tied down. 0:0 The seven wonders of the world during autumn are : Monday, Tues day, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. : :o: If we wanted to be an idol we would go in for athletics, and if we wanted to be an athlete we wouldn't go into this kind of work. :o: Another thing that makes a wom an happy is something to wear around- her neck that she can take off and put on every minute or so. :o: Bill Butler succeeds Lodge in the U. S. senate. He won'd find it as pleasant in the senate as he did run ning the republican -campaign with millions upon millions of money to carry out his plans. :o: The bandits are getting :n their work. Thursday the First National bank of Havelock was - robbed of over $3,000 In broad daylight. Banks will soon have to have door keepers and none admitted unless on busi ness, and letter of reference. fflcial W4 of ass oyihifty Tabulated Vote of the County at the General Election Held November 4, 1924 Offices and Ques tions Voted On ror President John W.
