say it is a public disgrace.
Mayor Mathis committed a grave

Mayor Mathis, as the head of city
like Des Moines, should not have
thought of committing. am not con-

not the sort that we want the young
boys OF Des Moines to look toward for
inspiration"
Other ministers expressed similar
views. Among other things Rev. o. w.
Fifer, of the Grace Methodist church,
said: Mayor Mathis should have
thought twice before he put out his
hand to Jeffries. A man whose only
known and valued ability is to blow
away his money in riotous living. The
whole show was fake pure and SIM
