The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1909-11-25
A word about this and that.


We ARE a little curious to
know why the authorities should
close the bowling alley and bill
lard room on Sunday evening at
600 o'clock and permit all other
business places to run. The in
side workings of tie official mind
is sometimes a puzzle to the COM
mon run of man. Of one thing
we are certain those who fire.
quent the billiard rooms and
bowling alleys on Sunday after
noon and evening were driven to
worse places by the act of the
officials. If any of the business
places in the city are permitted
to run on Sunday evening then
all should be permitted. Why
this partiality.
The BAYFIELD, papers are in
dulging in an editorial battle
which is interesting as well as
instructive. The underlying OBJ
ject of the battle being to put
before their reader the relative
merits of the Bell and Wach-
Smuth administration Of the af
fairs of the town of Bayfield,
The editors of both papers handle
the subjects with vigor, and
while some little personalities
are INDUCED in to give the fight
the proper spice, we believe that
the readers of the Bayfield,
papers are enjoying it as much
as the editors. The best part of
it is that both writer's get con-
siderable comfort and enjoyment
out of it.
VIM. HARRIS of Nash seems to
be acquiring quite reputation
as healer. We spoke of this
fact some months ago. New
Richmond is boasting of the fact
that DIR. Till has located near
there and is keeping up the work
OF plastering people. Mr.. Harris
of Nash does his work in differ
ent way. We are IN receipt of a
letter this week from subscrib-
er at Drummond, who says Mr..
Harris is wonder.
When news is scarce we have but
title stock to fall back on. If we
try to be ''phony we phial'' and if
we produce anything containing any
m srit outside of thinning we dare
not publish il. lest our readers will
say, s.that crank" If we touch or
politics, we here the cry of"clamity
bowler" If at times we feel relig-
iously inclined and should make
slight illusions. somehow the pith
gets punched out, and some one will
come into our SANCTION and ask. what
did you intend to convey. Some
times we spell bad and Betsy. who
spell by intuition, will ask "how do
you spell such word? We go on
and spell it according to Hoyle.
"Why didn't you write it that way
them" These words will creep in
and then the compositnr will say,
s'old fool, I wish he would stop writ
ing or learn to SPELL" Our greatest
fault in this direction is, are too
lavish with letters We have been
caught with two DIS ia windows
and two is in city, all from disire|
to be liberal and accord the 'intrin-
sic value" in all cases. 1t isl to late
now. We have made mistake in
our calling, having had a touch OF
most every thing. We sometimes
think we ought to have been clergy
man, then we could have walloped
our congregation with no back talk.
