Fremont Gazette: We believe that
the better element in Fremont are in
accord with the present town admin
istration in its effort to rid the place
for once and forever of its DRINKS.
During the past two weeks three par
ties have been before the mayor I'M
der charges of drunkenness and all
fined, two getting s25 and costs and
one $40 and costs. in talk 10 one
of the culprits Saturday the mayor
said that it had been his experience
that a fine of one dollar did no good
that it was no sooner paid than the
offender was in Jail again, that five
dollars was not enough, but that $40
and up seemed to be about what he
thought right and what had proven a
check TO the repetition Of the offense.
The mayor gave all TO understand
that he would not be lenient TO future
DRINKS and that no matter who they
were or their standing in the commun-
ity they would be treated just the
same as though their only occupation
was tossing booze. Inc mayor is to
be commended for the stand ne has
taken for right and morality.

DEPARTS

A unique and most pleasurable func

of the Commercial Club las. evening
when The Star Newspaper Associa-

g. II. Leonard who for fourteen years
has faithfully and most ably served

set, purple asters and carnations, re-
lieved with greenery here and there,
forming the floral decorations. Man
ager George Henshall presided and on
his right sat Emil Berndt, one of the
directors, the guest of honor sitting
where all could see that he did JUS

of the various departments of The

esprit de corps which characterized
the various working forces of The

largely dependent on the harmony that
prevailed, showing that LeOnards rec
ord was an example never to be for
gotten and entering into a disserta-
ton on the benefits received by the
association from The faithfulness of
employees reacting to the advantage Of
employees.
Mr. Leonard was presented with a
very handsome set of silverware and
delivered himself of appropriate SEN
timents in response to the presentation
remarks.
Speeches were numerous and, con-
sidering that there are several old
timers among the thirty or more
members of The Star operating forces,
to say nothing of members Of the Leg
islature, some of the things that were
said might we'll have graced the pages
of local history. Had a stranger en-
tered the hall without knowing what
was under way, he might have been
excused for mistaking the gathering
for that of the Congressional visitors
now about due to arrive here.

gatherings should be more or less fire.

not certain how they were brought
here, but the authorities may make a
pretty good guess.
Not only are canes designed as dead
ly weapons. 1t is known that the
postal officials keep careful watch
over the mail, lest anything in the
way of an internal machine pass
through that channel An Innocent
appearing envelope may explode in the
face of the recipient in the act of
opening it.
Whatever the true inwardness of the
cane incident this morning, a most
valuable clue has been found and
there are likely to be arrests shortly.
