THE OFFICE BOY WANTS TO KNOW
Whasyou egoingtodoaboutit?

other-are going TO surrender New
Orleans to the Boss Boss of all the
Bosses?
Why you Regulars you voters of
the rank and file, I mean-don't show
more manhood than fourteen OF the
ward bosses did, and scratch Porter
Parker off the ticket
If that wouldn't be good way to
repudiate the se1l-out and let the
Peacock Car know he doesn't quite
own the town?
Whether any of you, Regular or
Irregular, are going to be silly enough
to stand for the million-dolla school
bond schemes
Where New Orleans comes in on
that project?
Why she should load herself down
with a half-mf1lion more debt to give
the Big Boss a tighter grip on the
state than the Little Bosses have on
the city?
How many parishes will proclaim
their subservience to political graft by
voting in favor OF the Blanchard
school bond issue?
If It isn't plain to be seen that the
scheme is designed to build political
fences more than choolnousas?
Why shouldn't useless Offices be
abolished and extravagant salaries be
cut down instead Of piling mp big
debt?
If it's true that our sherM has been
dreaming of knots ever since the last
hanging?
# Dame Rumor hasn't got the char.
acter of the knots mixed?
Whether it's a slip-noose or q beau
knot that haunts Big Sans nightly
and daily visions?
II his next hanging will be with
Hamaan's halter or at Hymen' S altar?
Whether he won't be glad to yield
allegiance to the Home Ruler, whether
the other Regulars like it or not:
When it's coming off-not the knot,
but its tying?
Who Suggested u it?
If it isn't probable that the stsug
gestion', originated in the same place
as some Of the news that wasn't SO?
Why it's that some people find it
impossible to confine their remarks TO
the question at issue?
II 1t can possibly be for the reason
that they do not know what to say?
Why the little Times doesn't inform
an anxious public whether Ephraim
sneed has found his wife?
IF half-column account Of the dis
appearance of the dusky maiden is in
accordance with our little neighbor q
idea of news?
II you heard the shattering of glass
when that crack was made about the
sspatent'' Chiefs
How in the world the writer over
looked the fact th at his little sheet has
a patent inside of its own?
Ii the only difference between the
patent inside of The Chief and that of
the Times isn's that a majority OF the
readers Of the latter paper find the in
side more interesting than the outside?
How it happened that our little
neighbor's he1msman didn't think it
necessary to state who had those conn
missions?
II he really knew?-aId
II he forgot that he did when he was
asked by two of the members OF the
board where he got his information as
to the commissions having arrived?
# he doesn't remember that be adj
mitted at the time having purloined
the item from Baton Rouge paper?
If it isn't too bad for nefghbors TO
quarrel?
What's the matter with leaving the
scrapping for the New Orleans papers
TO attend TO?
Why the two local noulders Of pub
lie opinion don't kiss and make up?
# the school board oughtn, t to know
that they will always get square deal
from both the O. 3. and The Chief?
IF it isn't up to them. and not to
anybody else, to keep politics out oi
the games
Il they didn't earn the commenda-
ton Of everybody by their excellent
selection of a parish superintendent?
What you think OF the weather?
II you aren't glad that the lis it hot
enough for you?n fend has been put
out OF business?
When the young lady intends to start
her paper?
| If she is really going to "get even
| with The Boy as she threatens to dos
lit wouldn't be a whole lot nicer
! for her to seget next" TO him2
What kind of questions her ..ofdee
| Grip will want 10 knaw2
What tiek1ed Gee Dee so much wfer
he read the message on the back oi
| the envelopes
Il he really thought the pretty
maiden meant what she said-ol
rather, what she wrote.
II that Is what caused him to grow
SO chesty that his haberd dasher as
serted he had increased his ehes
measurement four inches IN as many
monthss
II you're going TO the circus2
What the fellows who have no kids
in the family are going TO do mex
