the course of the town treasurer in neg
lecting or refusing to comply with the
Jaw in regard to publishing statement
be construed as making bid for re-
election next April?
EDITOR KICKER's CORNER-If our
august town council can compel a
man to put down side walk in front
of his lots, why in thunder don't they
compel the owner to fill up that gap in
the walk leading to the court house ?
Does that man know his own rights
and the extent of the powers of the
council, or is it piece Of rank favOrit-
ism? SUCKER.

posing him to be man who works ten
hours a day and cant leave in the mid

and suppOsing further that he has a
county warrant to register or cash,
how can he attend to his county bust
ness between the hours OF a. m. and

county treasurer adopt banking hours

OLD IGNORANCE.
EDITOR KICKER's CORNER-I think
that the kicked ought to have right
to kick back occasionally. The most
of the kicking this far has been directed
against the city council and l want to
say word in their defense. The men,
bers of the council are all respectable
citizens and generally considered hon
est. They give their services to the
public free of money charge and with
out much in the way of honorable
emoluments. This being the case, they
ought not to be criticised too sharply
even if guilty of tritiing latches. 1t is
much easier to find fault with other
peoples methods than improve on
them. The town council try to do
their duty and if the kicker's don't like
it, they are at liberty to do the other
thing. don't think the kickers COM
pose very numerous or very respect
able part of the community anyway.
Some people have to make big lot Of
noise or they would be forgotten in a
mighty short time. It's about time the |
t<,vp not
do to kick somebody else few times?
EDITOR KICKER-I have the hangest
kick vet. It's q kick that I've just
been pining to make for a year. My
kick is against society or rather against
breed OF social ideas which have
recently grown up in this country.
I'm married man-save the mark. |
My wife is also married woman, by
the same token. Between us we have !
q numerous prOgeny-aye, there's the
rub. My wife aud l once cherished a
very strong attachment for each other
and we had a feeling in common for
the progeny. Before society began to
get new curves onto itself, we managed
very well, because. in the old time.
progeny was not considered disreput.

society. l am beginning to feel that
our progeny is disgrace to me. MY

home to smuggie the progeny; we can
not attend public entertainment to.
gether for the same reason; we can not
worship In church together, because
the presence of the progeny interrupts
the piety of respectable p6Ople: we can
not appear on the streets together, be-
cause the sight Of our numerous brood
Is displeasing to well bred (Y) people
and violation of good form. My
wife being y woman Of some force Of
character, naturally imposes on me
much of the care of the progeny, hence,

shOuldered. An estrangement is grow
ing up in our family. Each one of us
is trying to blame the progeny on the
other, or some wholly disinterested
person. We used to think our little
ones real nice and decent, now low
bred, stunted, bull pup out classes them
in society. kick against this arrange

respect my progeny surreptitiously. l
