The above Latin quotation means
something like Squirt the bug juice
in the eyes, ear and nose of the bed
bug, no matter how much he squirms"
Now, without fear, favor or par
tiality; with malice for none and char
ity to all we want to squirt little
commonsense over the action of the
city council in letting contracts foI
printing. Now believe us, we are not
kicking because the Wage Garner did
not get the printing, because it can
live without it. Neither are we kick
ing because the Democrat got it, be-
cause they had perfect right to bid
any figure they deemed proper. and
are not to blame if the council ac-
cepts their bid. We want to put the
blame where it belongs.
The Democrats bid was for cents
a line set in BREWER, for first issue
and cents line subsequent issues.
For every 100 lines first issue 81 each
subsequent issue So. Plain as the ears
on burro's head, isn't it? The Wage
Earner's bid for BREWER was 2 cents
"A line first and l cent line for each
subsequent issue. For every 100 lines
first So, and 81 for each subsequent
issue. Plain as some folks stupidity,
isn't it?
Now say each ordinance published
makes 500 lines, publishing in the
Democrat at its bid the tax
payers pay $50. Published in the
Wage Garner at its bid the tax pay
ers would be out $40. Plain as the
asininity of the members of the pint
ing committee who reported the Dem
ocrat bid the lowest, isn't it.
But jumping snails and wiggling
tadpoles' tails, when Alderman Win
gate announced that the Democrat s
bid was lowest on thirty-one items
another wonder was added to the
worlds repertoire of wonders. There
were in all only five items in the
printing proposals, bid on by the Dem
ocrat and it's sure windjammer
proposition that the Democrat out of
possible five hit the bulls eye for 81.
Say tickle us to death with the off
hind toe nail Of Gypsy Queen. An
the other bids were for job work. sta
tionery, etc.
Then when Alderman Owen froze
the freezer by announcing that he and
Alderman Meuser had examined the
bids and had found that the Demo-
Gratis bid was the best. 1t was hump
ty-dumpty is over the wall, with the
Wage Garner and its bid. Say, we
agree with Aldermen Owen and Meu-
ser that the Democrats bid was the
best bid-FOR THE DEMOCRAT.

BROWN BETTER:
OPPONENT HURT
New York Lightweight Voted
Better Boxer Than Cham

AFTER TEN-RoUND BRUSH
Youngster Forces the Fighting and
Gives More Punishment Than
He Receives.

New York. March 1T became
known today that Wolgast. the light
weight champion, suffered a severe in
rounds of his fight here last night
with Knockout" Brown. The arm
was broken several months ago, and
although it knit rapidly It vas weak
for a long time and bothered the
champion considerably.
Wolgast's doctors say they have not
yet determined Just how serious the
injury of last night will prove. They
probably will insist on his resting
the wTenched member for a few days
BY that time they hope it will be as
good as new again.
BATTLE INCOSCLUsIVE.
IN many ways last nights battle was
inconclusive. While Brown received
the popular decision because he fore
ed the fighting and landed the great
er number Of clean blows. Wolgast
showed excellent spirit in the latter
rounds and gave evidence that in a
longer fight he might have a decided
advantage. There was little of scien-
tific boxing in the 10-round bout. Both
men failed in ring science and old
fans declared them sluggers, trusting
10 luck rather than careful STRAIT
egg.
SHADE TO BROWN.
New York, March 4-Knockout
Brown. the tow-headed little New
York lightweight, gained a popular de-
cision over Ad Wolgast. the worlds
lightweight champion, in a slashing
10-round bout last night at the Nation
al Sporting club of America. Three
weeks ago Brown fought Wolgast at
Philadelphia and the crowd OF 5000
which saw him fight last night voted
him a victory. although the law re-
quires that no decision be rendered.
Brown forced the fighting from the
start and on the whole gave more
punishment than he received. In the
clinches Wolgast showed superior
ringmanship with his might. His tao
tics were so rough, however, that they
brought Kisses from the spectators.
NEITHER IN DISTRESS.
Neither man was in distress at any
time during the bout and no blood
was drawn. In the last round Brown
was backing toward the ropes as VOL
CAST rushed him. They clinched and
rolled through the ropes together and

a record that looks good as he batted

Carney has made a hit with local
baseball officials, he having given
them the impression that he is not on
ly good manager Of ball players but
one who will look out for the finances
CT the club as well. A letter he wrote
70 - h. in ha
above list shows to what extent he
speaks his mind. The player had writ

amount which the club officials had
put in his contract. Manager Carney
looked the player up and wrote back
IF you will save the nerve you dis
play In making this request and use it
on the ball field to win games with,

and il was probably taken in the spir-

rate il expressed his sentiments.

tract of Big Bill Jacobsen this morn

that Jacobsen was signed as a pitcher
but turned into a backstop and out
fielder because of the long string of
experienced pitchers which Manager
Tighe had when Bill reported. 1t is
