THE OFFICE BOY WANTS 20 KNOW
If you've paid your poll tax?
II you're going to put it of until
after while, and then forget it?
Whether you want to be counted
among the ''squaw men" who Won't be
able to vote at next years town elec.
ton?
-or at the congressional election il
1906?
Why not take or send dollar to
the sheriff's Office right of and get the
receipt that will make a voter Of you!
What you'll say to yourself when
you wake up on the 1st of ] anuary and
remember that you forgot 20 remember
to pay your poll tax?
If you won't feel like going out and
butting your poll against a brick
wall.
# the little Jimcrack's wrong-font
snowstorm cartoon WASH t tile fnnniest
typographical error of the season?
II it didn't make the Dem. man say
awful things and think worste ones
when he found that the makeup me-
chanie had used the picture that was
to have gone in if the election mad
turned out the other way?
If itwasn't the refinement of sarcasm
to represent Teddy, Fairbanks and the
elephant as homeless waits in q snow
storm when it was the other fellows
who had been showed under?
Whether it was left to the imagina-
tion of the observer to locate Judge
Atty, Grandpa Davis and the plucked
shanghai out Of sight beneath the
drifts?
If it isn't a toss-up between the jim
cracks editorials and pictures as to
which are the most misfit?
Whether the "Roosevelteansn can't
afford to smile at the Jimcrack' s
breaks when they contemplate the re-
turns?
II they need be ashamed OF their po-
litical company, which comprises an
overwhelming majority Of the Ameri-
can peoples
IF the wreck of the national Democ-
racy and the smash-up of Blanchard S
bond scheme wasn't glory enough and
to spare for one day?
# such a victory oughtn't to make
any body magnanimous?
and if the fellows On the losing
side amt welcome to cuss and make
faces and groWl all they please as q
vent for their soreness and disappoint-
ment?
If it wouldn't be a eart-rending
spectacle to see Brothers Smith and
Marks fall on each others neck and
weep over the wreck OF their nice-laid
swap?
Whether the big end OF the joke is
On st. Mary Harry or Assumption
John?
II itisn't about six OF one and hall
a dozen of the other to be promised a
vacancy that wasn't vacant,
and to be elected TO an Office that
isn't created?
If the Atchafalaya attorney that was
to be and the circuit judge that hoped
to be can't call the trade Off with the
score up-sticks?
II it wasn't clear case with both
Of heads win, tails you lose?
Whether the outcome isn't fortunate
after all. or at least more so than If
only one of the bargainers had lost
out?
II it isn't better for Harry and
Johnny to be brothers in misfortune
than that one should have landed in a
warm nest and the other be left in the
frosty ontness?
If St. Bernard Roy isn't justified
in lifting up his Voice in protest when
The Chief fails to show up regularly?
How Brother Roy or any Louisiana
editor can be expected to get out d
halfway presenta5le paper without
The Chief TO absorb inspiration and
precept from2
and particularly without the Of
fee Boys interrogative wisdom TO
serve as guide, philosopher and friends
IF it isn't up to the entire postal de-
partment, from Postmaster General
Wynne down to Johnnie Terrio, to get
2 hump on themselves and ind out why
The Chief miscarries between Donald
sonville and ST. Bernard?
What Caleb and Benny killed in
New River and
How much game Gee Dee and Wig
gins slaughtered in Brusly Mccall?
Which pair of mighty hunters holds
the palm for prowess?
What kind of 8 birds y they re after?
Is it doves or Kentucky cardinals?
