The prosecution Of AliKa Dowsett IN
der the Edmunds Act attracted more
attention than any O.her court case Of
the week DO you know what appear
ed to be the most genera comment? AS
far as my limited powers Of o-serya-
ton and listening enabled me TO learn,
it was that the prosecution ought to be
roasted for going after HIM, that there
were others. etc. and Il was a shame
to pick on one man. The aeq Ii,tal

A Japanese nearly put the Bergstrom
last week He wanted TO buy some
catgut and had looked It up in a die
tionary or been inquiring about it
somewhere or other. under the impress
sion that the name catgut was rather
vulgar, which impression is a very
natural one, though usage has made
the word familiar. But when a Japa-
Dese tries to say dried entrails of a
feline" he is apt to cause trouble and
that is why the whole force of the
Bergstrom music store struggled with
the Japanese for a long time and al
most bounced MIN before they found
out what he was after.

That published list Of the leading
Democrats,-the ones whose names
lend dignity, respectability, influence
and coin to the party-greatly inter-
ested me, though I couldn't help no
ticing the strange oversight of emitting
the name of Pop Splitter, the oracle of
Hotel street, who tells me every day
that times will be better some day. IT
is nice for a party to be able to show
such a list and perhaps some of those
in the list like to be elevated In the
public eye, as persons far above the
mere Shanks Mossmans, Harry Juens,
Bob Lewis and Jarretts Of the party.
But ! have observed IN brief career
devoted in part TO keeping out Of poll
tics and enjoying watching others go
in, that as a certain momentous date
in November draws night the higher
ups of the parties begin TO get chummy
with the men who can do some hustling
along the front. or among Inspector
Fennell's Aala charges, or where the
