care 10 say on the subject. 1 don't be-

property. While Mr.. Burns action on
Friday was not very courteous, | paid
no attention to 1t. He had n right TO
decorate his building as he chose,
though the decorations might be oficu-
slve 10 his political opponents, and his
neiGhhors had a right to criticlsc his
actions IL they saw fit 10 do so. But, II
any one has attempted to injure him or
his property, such person ought to be
punished like any other viOlator of the
