investigation of the financial interests

BY a vote of 241 to Is, the Pujo

the allegations and authority of the
original Henry money trust" resolu-
ton, was passed by the house imme-
diately after Representative Mann of
Illinois, republican, had charged the
democrats with trying to hold up

IF THE SHOE FITS.

If the shoe fits, well, put it on if
you want to. That's up to you.
Yesterday morning the Star-Mirror
sanctum was visited by a gentleman
who was looking for the editor. He
said that he had read the report of
the Knockers Club" and took it as
a reflection upon himself, although
the name of an organization to which
he belonged was Citizens League"
But what is the matter? The Knock
er's club is opposed to new court
house; it opposed new high school;
it is fighting paved streets. 1t is
against boosting the price of land be-
cause it is charged that higher priced
land means increased taxes. 1t is OPP
posed to better reads, and justifies its
opposition on the ground that 1--WE
have got along for twenty years with
out 'em, and they'll do" And the
Knockers club is all right. The
wagon of progress needs a brake.
don't it? And don't you need, some
lllieS, preaching on the harness
And can't bunch of citizens be the
brake and the breeding if they want
to?
But what has the Knockers club to
do with the Citizens league? Why
this exception? Can't the knockers or
sanize if they want to without the
Citizens league getting angry? And
can't the Mirror write up the
