Per haps a postage stamp is a good place for works of art about the sesqui-centennial celebration of the establishment of Tammany Hall and the re-union of the Podunk Indians for | no one pays any attention to it anyway except to see that it fulfills its utilitarian purpose. This zest for experimentation is bad enough when con- cerned with important matters but when such useful little things as postage stamps are expanded and proliferated for the purpose of filling the collection books of those who have nothing better to do, it becomes a serious matter and one which we wish would be made a major issue in the coming campaign. Smaller — incidently — cheaper — stamps should be a rallying cry. The race is run and the candidate who has been wear ing hia best clothes every day may hang them in the closet with his winter overcoat and hunt up the comfortable clothes discarded last March. It will be hoped in some quarters that the pleasant smile and the jolly good humor1 are not laid aside as well. It has been enjoyable this past six weeks with so many people acting friendly, speaking pleasantly and looking hopeful. It has been a fine exper ience for candidates and voters alike and even those who must inevitably lose have lost nothing by it, but have, in the main, gained poise and friendships. The country may contemplate the future without ao many apprehensions of secuity since the Frazier-Lemke bill was defeated.
