It I· pretty difficult to get many week· •way from an election of tome kind in theee day·. And we are reminded that next Monday, Sept. 12, there will be an election Id Maine for tbe purpose of vot ing on three proposed amendments to the constitution of the state. Every time the legislature meets In thuei mod ern days It submits a batch of *onatitu tiooal amendments to the voters. In some instances this is done became tbe legislature really thinks that the pro posed amendment should be adopted, and in other instanoes it is merely a case of "passing the buck" to tbe people. One of the three amendments to be voted on next week has drawn out about the only discussion and comment that tbe election has so far evoked. By In serting the words "and state aid" it pro vides that the money raised by the sale of highway bonds may be used for the construction not only of state roads but of state aid roads as well. As it now stands this money can be used only In the construction of the trunk lines. Tbe change is advocated by many of those most interested in tbe road question, as in line with the development of a com plete road system, rather than tbe oon struction of trunk lines alone. On tbe other hand, the amendment is opposed by an almost unanimous vote of the directors of tbe Maine Automobile Asso ciation, who declare that the purpose oi tbe amendment is to take away from the state roads the entire balance of 92,500,· 000 now remaining of tbe authorised bond issue, and put it all into state aid roads. Evidently there Is some misun derstanding somewhere aa to the effect of the amendment. One of tbe other amendments, and tbe first one on tbe ballot, provides for ab sent voting, so that by taking the proper course a voter may have his vote count ed although be is absent from the town of his residence on eleotion day. A law providing the quite elaborate machinery for carrying the amendment into effect was one of the first acts passed by tbe legislature last winter, and will auto matlcally become a statute when tbe amendment Is adopted. Abeenl voting is being tried In some other states, but has not really got beyond the expert mental stage. Every voter should exer cise his or her honest judgment as to the desirability of it. As far as his per sonal opinion is concerned, the writer o( this is frank to say that he is willing that the experiment should go on in other states for a while before we make this radical change In our governmental system, and that as a member of the eightieth legialature be was one of an Inaignificant and hopeless minority who voted against the act. The third question provides for tbe issuing of state bonds for the purpose of paying a bonus to Maine soldiers and sailors In the war with Spain, as has already been done with the soldiers of the world war. Tbe status of tbe vete rans of the two wars ia different in some respects, but there is valid argument both for and against this amendment. It is probable though deplorable that only a small fraction of the votera will register their opinion on these important matters, yet every oitiaen should feel It his or her duty to be at the j>oils next Monda#. Mere aad There. According to figures given oat by Frank J. Hem, collector of Interne! rev enue, 34,678 people in Maine paid en in oome tax (or the jeer 1919, tbe amount of the income being $112.562,525, and the tax ooliected, $4,468,876.

Mrs. Rog ers was one of the large number who were stricken with Influenz* at tbe time of the epldemio of influenzi in tbe au tumn of 1018, and she never recovered from the malady, though tbe immediate oauee of her death was not influenza, but pernicious araemia.

Last April, in addition to her illness from influenza, wbioh still persisted, pernioioua anemia developedy^pd, aa above atated, it was this latter ailment which was tbe imme dlate cause of ber death. Mrs. Rogers and her husband generally spent the months of July and August of each year at a summer home of theirs at Bryant's Pond, a village In Woodstock, but Mrs. Rogers' illness prevented tbeir going to tbeir summer home this year. Mrs. Rog ers was a member of the Park Street Church, Boston, aod was a member of the Women's Benevolent Society con nected with that ohurolt.

The meeting of the Sumner Soldiers' Veteran Association on the 31st was em inently a grand sncceas and largely at tended. "" It broke the reoord for several years for attendance of the old veterans, as neary forty of tbera were present. Ae always when the soldiers are to be hon ored in town, a free abondant dinner was served to the big crowd. Plenty of good music and brief speeches, and a obeerful crowd, made the oooasion a most de ligbtful one. A goodly number oame over from Parle. Among them were W. S. Star bird, Oilman Whitman, Frank Maxim, Joseph A. Nuyes, Olban Maxim, John Murcb, Albert D. Park, each of whom made brief remarks. Mr. Whitman sang two selections in good manner, and was warmly applauded. The music for the occasion was under the care of Ernest R. H. Stetson and was inspiring. Miss Winnie Robinson and Mrs. C. A. Barrows rendered solos, and piano selections were given by Miss Rob inson. Rev. F. P. Dresser of Buckfield spoke at length in a humorous velo and en livened the oooasion. "Billy and Phon" reminded the veterans of days of old, with fife and drum, being the same In struments that they used In the war of '61-'Θ5. In brief, It was one of the happiest oc casions yet, and great credit is due to the Ladies' Relief Auxiliary for their generous aid Id the hall deooratlons and serving an ample, excellent free dinner.
