ChitChat

How do you like the new form OF
the Daiies? They seem to be growing
the wrong way. A certain daily OF
this city is advertising that 1t keeps
only artists in it's establishment and
has the best presses in the city, yet IL
makes the announcement on the
FUNNIEST printed paper in the city.
Who Will be the first to embrace the
glorious opportunity for a morning
paper in this city. Three evening
papers and no morning sheet, What
will the old man do for his readen
while the 90 ID wife gets breakfast?
We are pleased to see the council
Investigating the gas propositions that
are offered the city. We are opposed
TO getting much In debt but would
like to see the city blow In about a
hundred thonsond foT good gas ter-
ritory, close.
Posterity would erect monument
to the city dads that had that much
foresight. We notice Coffeyville has
landed another large manufacturing
interest. That burg is going to pro-
gress II the Missourans do steal all
their gas. We notice the Anderson
Co. commissioners have granted the
right OF way Of the roads to the pipe
lines. That seems to be rather an
unnecessary formality according to
the actions OF the pipers in Mont
gomery conunty. Would 1t not seem
that we had got into another county
should our people wake up and accept
the Carnegie proposition and secure
fine city library. Right now we
imagine there is big fight i'll the
minds of some as to where 1t will be
located.
1t is said the i'll feeling between the
K. K. girls and their steadies has all
been fixed up and everything is
serene and happy.
Dividends from the oil companies
do not gladden. the hearts OF the
stockholders with quite the regular
ity they did awhile. Guess it is
rather good thing In the main as 1t is
having tendency to pull few gen
tleman down towards mother earth
whose feet had not touched terra
firma for SIX months.
Yes, we know you are not getting
such outlandish rent for your dinky
old cottage as you did during the
boom but you need not look so blasted
sour about 1t you are getting more
than you did before the boom began.
Yes l know it, there are few old
houses with no conven-
fences about them that men managed
to live in for a few months till they
could build or somebody could bulld
for them, that are empty now, but
that does not mean that the town is
en- the downward grade and is bound
to go to the eternal bow vows. You
must remember that this town built
IN the neighborhood OF hundred
and twenty-five new houses last year
and our population has become more
and is better housed than
The year before. Our school popula-
tion has greatly increas d during the
wear passed. Where there Is such an
everlasting increase Of young ones
there must be an increase in popula
ton.
1t strikes us as rather peculiar that
old fables of the Mail and Breeze
should side step on that state printer
business where he seemed to have
sinch and accept the private secretary
ship. 1t is doggoned nice to be on
the soft side OF a man like Gov. Hoch
for four years but we believe we would
rather be state printer. On, well.
Tom, if you just won't accept the place
we Will TRY and prevail on that man
JunkiD of of ST ing to take it.
And, so the dalies made nothing
out O. their big Christmas ads. Too
Dad hops. you should value your space
little higher. 1t is very certain
your advertisers will not place
igher value on it than you do your
selves. 1t is some what Of a consola-
latlon to this paper to know that
while the dailies we're filled up with
heir big free ads the TINES bad all 1t
could carry OF good honest ads paid
for at living price. When a man
buys space in the TIMES he knows he
ia not paying any more than his neigh
Dor for The same space.
The 6xers are getting their shovels
in little on the mayor question,
What do you say to calling a party
caucus and nominating set OF Re
publican officers from Mayor down?
That's our idea of maintaining party
organization. If the party does not
do that this paper will be found sup
portlog a good Democrat for Mayor
n nd we have him IN mind right now.
