say against it. But the influence on the
youthful mind OF this class Of pictures
is infinitely more dangerous than that
which a moving picture Of prize fight
would have. II 1t is thought that the
Jeffries-Johnson films would have a de-
moranzing effect on the people. why are

he now proposed TO make a digest OF
the whole Roman law for public use;
to found Libraries for the same purpose;
to drain the Pontine marshes, and to
otherwise make great municipal I'M

Valentine B. Schroeder, OF Milwaukee,

last night, had this 10 say about the
socialistic government OF Milwaukee: 1T

on the new socialistie regime OF our

been accomplished; nothing that could
be called socialstic, or even otherwise
than either Democratic or Republican,

election by these socialistic agitators as
to what they would do when elected, II

were promises. but so far nothing has

which they never did.
