TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT,
CLUB PASSES RESOLUTION

made in behalf of the poor congress-
man, uncomplimentary things were
said of The TINES and the upshot of
it all was the adoption of resolutions
denouncing THE TIMES for it's unfeel-
ing attitude toward perfectly good
democratic congressman. When they
got through with THE TINES the
corpse was removed to Johnnie Nc
Gunan's morgue. The inquest has not
yet been held.
Charlie There With Bells On.
Charlie Fowler introduced the reso-
lutions. but Charlie always was a
resolutin' little cuss anyhow. Charlie
can always find time from his business
to draw up resolutions.
w. B. Van Horne, the eminent Lake
county statesman. presumably filled
with fellow feeling for the supposed
ly maligned Indiana Congressman.
(who knows. maybe Van has been
called that thing himself), in his best
justice court oratory, denounced THE
TIMES yellow When the echoes
of Vans jury voice had ceased. one
could have heard pin drop.
Like A Little Yellow support.
The effect might have been stupend-
GUS had not some body In the rear OF
the room just then remarked: Sure
It's yellow. Look at some Of the can

Then there was another lawyer who
took the boobism OF Boehne to heart.
Lack of space prevents publishing his
name with all it's initials. and besides.
1t doesn't matter The extent Of his
hurts could not be learned. but 1t Is
believed he was internally injured.
Also there was Herskovitz He claims
to be limb of the law. too. He had
a few words to say.
When a standing vote was called
for. H. NJ Dill the proprietor of the
Sentinel became strangely turhulent.
He bobbed up and down something
after the manner OF . pile-driver. He
seemed to be torn with conflicting
emotions.

1t was plainly a case or love. versus
duty; love for THE TINES and duty to-
ward Mr.. Boehne. At last the conflict
ended. Victory pefched uponx duty's
banner. But not until vice president
C. l. Kirk who presided in Judge
Walter J. Riley's absence. had called
upon the publisher to do one thing or
the other. Sit down or stand MP as his
yaccilating attitude confused the
count.

oratory. But when 1t came to vote.
he voted for the resolution which led
some to conclude that Boehne might

be the next postmaster. File aint, A. G.
You needn't have cared.
George H. Lewis expressed himself
as opposed to the resolution. He
