“position is worth a lot.”

Speaking of elections! That pink 
tea last Tuesday afternoon cost the 
Town of Manchester about $45, in- 
cluding the lighting, heating of the 
building, etc. Only about 37 cents 
apiece, for those 148 votes, cheap 
enough, isn’t it? Charlie Murphy in 
his best days over in New York 
couldn’t get them that cheap. The 
Constitutional convention will prob- 
ably prove the most costly luxury in 
Mass. politics for some time, how- 
ever, when the total cost is counted. 
The cost of the primaries, Tuesday’s 
election, the convention itself,—not 
forgetting the salaries, of course, and 
the final referendum election on its 
adoption will run over half a million 
dollars, probably. Then if the people 
reject the constitution, won’t it be a 
cheap affair though ?

“One-third of the fools in the coun- 
try think they can beat a lawyer ex- 
pounding the laws. One-half think 
they can beat the doctor healing the 
sick. Two-thirds of them think they 
can put the minister in the hole ex- 
pounding the gospel, and all of them 
think they can beat the editor run- 
ning a paper,” says The Union, 
Salina, Kansas. 
Well, isn’t it so?

Somebody has sent in a copy of a 
paper from Liverpool, N. S., with 
the request that we reprint a poem 
entitled “The Kaiser’s Dream.” We 
regret that lack of space forbids any 
such attempt on our part, this week, 
but we might say that the point of 
the story is that poor Kaiser Bill 
dreamed he was dead, and upon be- 
ing refused admission to the pearly 
gates up yonder, he ascended to the 
regions below, with the avowed pur- 
pose of taking the proprietor by sur- 
prise and gaining control of the place. 
His satanic majesty was too wise for

Bill, however, and headed him off 
with some of his trusted arch-devils, 
who took along a quantity of brim- 
stone to Kaiser Bill with the admoni- 
tion that he was not wanted even in 
hell, and to go elsewhere and start in 
business for himself. That was 
enough! Kaiser Bill awoke.
