Brown Crushed by
Well Merited Criticism

w on young scoundrel!' exclaimed
the unwilling father-in-law,
Mr.. Brown, when the clipping
couple presented themselves for paren-
tai forgiveness and a place to live.
You conscienceless scamp! You stole
my daughter away and disregarded all
the conventionalities Of society. And
yet you ask forgiveness"
You old sCoundrel. What did you
do?" retorted the new son-in-law.
What did you do? You let us elope
and did not pursue us on horseback
with a shotgun. You have shattered
all the traditions Of Opponents and
have blasted all the romance Of the
affair for us. We might as well have
got married to the rumty-tum-tum of
the church organ and let you pay the
bill. You haven't a spark Of appre-
citation in your makeup"

hard at work among the members Of
the Ohio general assembly during the

movement for the reduction of the
Akin saloon tax from 81 900 to $500.
The argument advanced by the liquor

many saloons out Of business and is
unjustly heavy. Threats Of political
antagOnism are also made.

NEEDED-A LEGISLATIVE
HOUSE CLEANING.

The editor of The News is not
one of those who cavil at gov
ernments and their parts. He
is not ready to believe that men
in power today are any more
corrupt than they have been in
past ages. The world has al.
ways had good men in high
places; men who are high mind
ed. strong in right doing and
unpurchasable. We have them
today and, if any difference,
more OF them than at any past
PERIOD OF the worlds history.
The trouble has been and is that
others not so we'll balanced on
the principle of right doing are
constantly blocking the way.
Sometimes these baking, kick
ing trlfers form a majority in
Legislative bodies; then again
they take the form OF minority
which, under certain rules, as
in the United Senate, can effect
ually block any kind of legisld
ton for whole session of Con

wrong in principle, enable the
tail to wag the dog, as it were,

even though in the majority,
must bear the disgrace of fail
ure, for such it is and especially
so in this "our country" boast

earth.
We need a house cleaning. 1t
