The mayor of Waukegan, ILL., who
became so incensed at the refusal of
the voters of the town to act favor
ably on a proposed bond issue that
he has attempted to get satisfaction by
ordering the street lights turned out
at night and to infiict other more or
less petty hardships on the people of
his city, is out of his proper sphere.
He ought to be attending kinder
garten where little boys and girls pout
and refuse to play any more if things
do not work out to suit them.

Carp as a Food Fish.

When Seth Green stocked waters in
this state with German carp to add
to the food supply he didn't count on
the delicate taste of Americans. They
wouldn't eat the coarse fish. and treat
ed the carp with contempt. Now it
seems a use has been found for the
carp. Some food experts, noting the
low prices at which smoked salmon
was offered in Chicago, and investi-
eating. found that it was carp treat
ed with pink paint and liquid smoke.
OF course, that fraud will be stopped.
but if it was palatable, honest smoked
carp. sold under it's true name, it
ought to be a good contribution to the
country's food supply. Evidently it
only needs smoking to make it good.
