took in closing the Brownies ball and
otherwise frowning on vice incident to

j. VaWter, ST. Il don't want to be
classed among the long hairs and
personally 1 am not a teetotaler, but I
believe in closing the places in question
at reasonable hours.
Il believe that it was a mistake in
the first place to take the lid off, and
L hope that they will put it back where
it was.
CAS- regards the action of Mayor Har-
per- think that his was a very small
business, and L don't believe that he

after that time are not of a class that
