business is concerned he does not want

Wheeling has received a lot OF fool

TO control the language which Billy

pected to use when he appears in this
city. Council has passed no such
ordinance and is not likely to. The
resolution was an expression OF senti-
ment from two or three councilmen.
who acted without advice and without
good understanding. We have ample
laws in this city 20 prevent the use
OF profane and indecent language in
public places. No enactment TO be
made by n city council would streng.

dared to use. II We want TO have n
