ANlThER "CDIOUS COMPARISON"

Cincinnati is in trouble financially
despite the revenues" derived from
about 1000 saloons. The city can spend
only $1,S7s.75O the coming year. While
the departments call for an expenditure
OF S3,549.O44. The budget commission
has made a reduction of only $4,000
the salary of the mayor has been cut in
two and other city heads have had
salaries reduced. The public safety de-
partment calls for an appropriation OF
s1,525,02s. This comes within little
more than 100000 of equaling the en-
tire amount the city may spend under
the new law.
Now suppose this condition existed
in city without saloons? Wouldn't sa-
loon supporters and hangers-on be get
ting photographs and financial state
uents for broadcast distribution?
Cincinnati might profit by Marshall
towns experience. The statement of
revenue recently made by Mayor Jones
In comparison with conditions previous
to saloon closing might be Of great
assistance to Cincinnati Why doesn't
somebody get a photogra ph of the rec
ord and send 1t on?

GETTING MARRIED ANYHOW,

school puts forth as fundamental
proposition that no woman who doesn't
know how to cook should be licensed

Corelatively no man who can't earn

marry. This will sound good to the

was the winner. Most Of those present
declared that Mat Watkins won the
wagon. Truman claimed that he did
At at any rate. Mat Watkins father
went to Carey's house and took away
the wagon. Truman then brought suit
in replevin for its possession. Carey on
second thought decided he had under
valued the wagon. and he,too, sought
to recover II, his theory being that he
had lost it at game or gambling de-
vice. The supreme court Of Arkansas
in Carey We. Watkins, 1873 Southwestern

Watkins, on the ground that where an
illegal contract is executed the law
