A CRITIC CRITICISED.
To the Editor of The Sentinel:
In the Sunday issue OF one OF tne
morning papers notice two communica'
tions apparently written by the same
man. Both articles evince the earmarhs
of the uneducated egotist, and, when
paraphrased into ineligible English
and stripped of all hypocrisy and direct
falsehood, cry out aloud, "For nothing,
but against Rose"

close an observer of municipal affairs as
is our critical and fault.fnding CORE
spondent. My profession brings me IN
daily contact with men from all sections
of the city, in all walks of life, and OF
every political utilization. Yet have
never heard any complaint against our
mayor coming from the common people
The common people love Mr.. Rose-and
not wholly without cause. But for this
primary election farce-already broken
in spirit and letter by the promulgators
of this criminal suffrage gerrymander-
David S. Rose would be nominated next
Tuesday by a landslide vote. And to
understand this popularity of MIR. Rose,
you must first understand the psychology
of the common people. You can no
more fool the people through empty
promises and expressions OF solicitude
for their welfare than you can win the
love of a child through hattery and
brides. The innocent child will intui-
lively and unerringly pick out the good
man for her friend and 80 will the COM
mon people give their vote to the man
with human heart. David s. Rose is
that man.
Milwaukee, viewed from n sanitary
educational and industrial standpoint,
has achieved more progress during MIR.
Roses administration than she made
during the three preceding administra-
tions. And you do not have to look far
to find the reason for this phenomenal
achievement. Mayor Rose possesses a
constructive mind; he builds. In other
words, he is a former--he shapes senti-
ment-rather than reformer, or de-
former, or informer that Is ever re-

Mayor Rose is man who will ever

pressions used as the stock in trade by
his critics when defending their con

Now, few words with reference to
our mayors attitude to law and order.
Eminent members of the bar will tell
you that Mr.. Rose possesses that inherent
sense Of justice and humanity that
stamps every true, great man. II a law
is inhuman and in direct conflict with
our liberties and rights or if a judiciary
institution is openly prostituted to furth,
or the cause of intrigue and conspiracy,
Mayor Rose has the manhood and te-
merity to denounce it, and God bless
him for this.

ton denounced the medical fakes and
impostors before late convention of

The man who knowingly violates the
law is a saint compared with Rim who
