Political Clap Trap.

One OF the most difficult things TO
be hammered into the heads of GER
tain type OF politicians is the fact
that clap-trap political literature is a
mere waste of paper. Intelligent
readers abhor such stuff. They do t
want Il at any price, and will not be
influenced by it no matter how per-
sistently it may be thrust upon then.
This applies with equal force to both
of the leading political parties.

them committed to Jail, whereupon

writ Of habeas corpus, which was
granted.
