Attention! Everybody

If you are interested in the progress
of the race, come out to Sundays
Meeting at this Office at 3 o'clock,
p. NJ. Matters of great Importance
to the community are to be consid-
cred.
DR.. b, G. Brooke was the man, and
not Mr.. Wendell, who voted even
against the Committee recommenda-
tion that the Zanzibar license be not
granted, and we do not believe that
there is anyone who thinks any the
less of him for it, as it was plain
case of railroading two citizens out
of business without even a sem
blance of a hearing. He demon
strated that h. vas broad enough to
be fair, and that if other equally as
notorious and pernicious places were
to be allowed to run, why single out
only this particular one? In other
words he refused to be lined up by
the lies of brassed officials who had
it in for the firm on personal grounds
and used the Council and Mayor to
crush them. Today there is not a
more popular man in the County
tnan DR.. Brooke. He is man ike
our own Roosevelt, who believes in
square deal for all.

While we counsel conservatism
and forebearance, and condemn, in
unmeasured terms the crimes com
mitted by the vicious element of
our people, we, with equal vehe-

to take the law in their own hands,
and make the innocent suffer for
the wrongs of others, and in doing
so who knows but what the Geor-

The organization by our peo-

meet at least once a week and eX-
change ideas, and promote thrift
and enterprise is commendable
move which should meet the ap-

make it go.
