women are necessary evil" he said,
bringing down his fist hard on the counter to

There's where differ from you altogeth-
err" said Mr.. George L. Graham, of the same
place. "Women are mostly what men make
'em. When husbands are brutes wives fall in
to submission or make home hot for the men !;
and they're unnatural in either character.
Love them, and especially be good to them
when they're sick, and you'll have no trouble.
There's my own wife, now. She's suffered a
good deal with dyspepsia, nervous prOstration
and other ailments that took the bloom off her
cheeks and tie spring out OF her steps. Well,
she saw an advertisement OF PARKERs TONIC
and thought it would be just the thing for her
case. Gentlemen, / sent five miles after bot
tie. She took it,. l sent after more. So sew

how much good it has done her you would say
that women are the greatest of Gods blessing,

This preparation which has been known as

A Microscopic Reformer.

The New York Tribune is doing a
good work in exposing the record of the
bogus ref0rmer, Cleveland, as sheriff of
Erie County. careful perusal OF the
facts leave no doubt in the mind of an
unprejudiced reader, that Cleveland ac-
copied the Office Of Sheriff with the sole
intention of making as much money as
he could out Of the taxpayers. 7.
His bills were all higher than those
of his predecessor, Mr.. Darcy. The ag-
gregato of Cleveland's bills was $39. $685.
36, while that of Darcsy's was SIC, 639,8l !;
Cleveland's excess being $l3,263,55. The
vouchers show that in many cases he
charged more for his services than the
law allowed, notably fer executing
Patrick Morrisey," for which little isb
he received $3.50, though the Board of
Supervisors had fixed on the sum of $500
for the performance OF this disagreeabls
duty. 1921 q. goAh iia Hiaw 10
Even Democratic board were Oblig-
ed to cut down Cleyeland's dishonest
bills and did 50 to the extent of $4,471,50.
Did Cleveland carry his claims to the
courts rs he should have done had they
been just and right? No; the man who
was willing to turn hangmaa for a
small consideration was willing to let
this large amount go, because he I'M
dOubtedly knew that he was not entitled
to the money he thus attempted to OBJ
tain from the treasury of Erie county.
The Investigation also shows that
Cleveland, while sheriff of Erie county,
used his influence at Albany to lobby
through scheme that largely increas
ed the civil fees of his own Office. That
his total income. while sheriff. was
about $4,000. After deducting $500
of illegal fees which were thrown out,
he seems to have obtained from the
county $8,794 more than his predecessor
for the shsriff's Offite alone. If the in
crease in his civil business was equally
large, he must have altogether obtained
about $4,000 more than the sheriff who
preceded him. ,n..
And this man, supported by FIVE Of the
most corrupt city rings that the NUM-
eipalities of this country have ever been
cursed with, is the candidate of those
who are hungering and thirsting for
administrative reform. Cleyeland's rec
ord as sheriff of Erie county shows him
to be lawyer with little practice, who
accepted the Office of sheriff for the pur-
pose of making all the money he could
out of the taxpayers. His passion for
microscopic reform did not deyelope it
self until he became mayor of Buffalo
and was unable longer to make any
thing himself.
