The sidewalk On Washington ave-

Cairo business men seem TO under-es-
innate the importance Of attending our
tobacco sales. 1t doesn't follow that they
should buy Of the offerings because pres.

members Of courts are often paid for the
advocacy Of popular measures; but very
often members Of courts as we'll as editors
are paid for advocating unpopular meas
ures and enforcing them against the
wishes OF the people and in destruction Of
their prosperity. We are with tho people
on this question, and the reflection upon
our honesty and good faith in the matter
