The Brazen Cheek.

lnc DFdlcn Oucek.
He'd worked upon masterpiece
For many weary year
He'd starved upon a crust of bread.
And shed full many tear.
His pictures, perfect in their way
AS unset gems, stood all
In ghostlike rows about his room
With faces to the wall.
For no rich patron came to him
With generous outstretched hand,
And gave him orders. praised his
work,
And gave him help to stand
On this old slippery globe of ours,
Which whirls so fast through space
That mortals are whisked off ere
they
Can find resting place
Then came another man to town,
An Artist" so he said.
His work was punk" his pictures
swore
In colors crude and bad.
But he was "up-to-date," he said,
And he had kept in touch"
With all the modern trend of things"
Which means, you know so much!
He had the lightning style of Art,
And hustled" left and right.
He elbowed daily in the crowds,
And "joshed" the boys at night.
1t was not long before the wealth
And beauty of the town
Had made a pathway to his door
Where gold in streams poured
down
He wore smart clothes of latest style,
He was we'll groomed and SNUG,
He talked of dope" and dough" and
said
His fortune was his mug"
And that was true, for broad and
deep,
And brazen in its hue,
There spread on either side his face
A cheek that all men drew!
Moral
The ancient wise one we'll may hang
His head, and take a sneak
1t is not wisdom we applaud,
But Folly's brazen cheek!

games were played until noon.
The afternoon was all used for the

of the boys in the varsity worked
under the direction of Austin Flegel.

JAPAN IS IN
NO CONDITION
FOR FOREIGN WAR

Toxic, Feb, 2S.-Impeachment of
the Katsura ministry in the lower
house of the national diet was pre-
vented here today only by the mar
rowest marign. Accused of contrib
uting greatly to the growth of So
cialism and anarchy in Japan by un-
due severity, the Katsura cabinet
saved itself from censure only by a
last minute combination with the
Seiyukai party, thus securing a bare
minority.
Public interest in the charges
against the Katsura government has
been intense following the execution
of Denjiro Kotoku and his fellow So
cialists and the lower house was
jammed today when Nationalist lead
er Initkais arose to attack the cabi-
net.
Fearful of popular demonstra-
tion, however, the government Or
dered the house cleared during the
debate, and only the members heard

ates For time it looked as though

If you want to open your mail on
the way from the postoffice, put the
waste in your pocket, eat it or do
something with it beside throwing
1t on the lawns or sidewalk. Uncle
Sam built us a nice little brown stone
postoffice, and the old man tries to
keep the lawn looking decent and
respectable, but the job is too big
for him in his old age, especially
when he has so many thoughtless
kids who insist on littering it with
scraps of paper, which the. old man,
just for two cents, has brought them
thousands of miles 1t looks like, in
view of this, that those he accommo-
dates, to whom he brings and deliv-
ers their mail, for nothing, might
help the old man along by not using
the postofice lawn for a waste bas-
yet. The horse editor is not ad-
dressing these remarks to the other
fellow, but to you-the other fellow
is too much of lady or gentleman
to do such thing.

GOVERNOR
APPROVES
SOME BILLS

Believing tina tthe raising of coun-
~ salaries is matter for the peo-
pie to pass judgment upon, and in
view of the fact that most of the
measures passed by the legislature
raising the salaries of county officials
provide that they shall be referred
to the people, or are so drawn that
the people can apply the referendum
to them, If they desire. Governor
West this morning approved all the
bills raising the salaries Of officials In
the counties of the state.
There are 22 of these measures
in all, and they provided for the
raising of salaries of every kind of
an official, from constable up. None
of the raises were large, however,
and, because of this, and the further
fact that it is a question which the
governor thinks the people of the
counties themselves should decide,
and which they may decide for them
selves by the use of the referendum,
he has approved all the bills.
Marion County Bills.
Among the measures there are
two which relate to officers in Ma
rion county-one making the salary
of the sheriff $4,000 a year and al
lowing him $4,000 for deputy hire,
and the second providing that the
salary of the assessor shall be $1,000
a year and giving him $4,000 for dep
uty hire. In the opinion of the gov
ernor the two measures are uncon-
stitutional, as the constitution pro-
vides that no subdivision of a sec
tion can be amended, but that the
whole section must be set out in the
amendment, but he takes the atti-
tude that it is for the courts, and
not him, to decide this question.
