FREE BOOZE PLATE.
Knoxville Expressl.


The Abba Republican is using the
free" plates furnished by the brewers
and distillers who masquerade in Iowa
under the name Of the Law Enforce
ment League. Now the Express does
not deny the right of any newspaper
to hold the opinion that saloons are
proper and right and the most desir-
able town boosters, and that the more
liquor sold the better Cor everybody:
nor does it especially worry at seeing
these ideals advocated. because truth
will finally prevail. But we do hate
to see intelligent newspaper men let
ting themselves be used as catspaWs
to pull chestnuts out Of the fire for
the brewers and saloons. Plates are
getting so cheap that almost any news
paper can afford TO buy clean ones fer
itself.
