Ut is then. it is said, that when Il

worrying over who hit Billy Patter-
son or how old is Ann that they go
there for sOlace.
The Universal Library is all right
and don't you forget it. Why should
the law mcddle in the privileges o:
men seeking enlightenment? A Uni
Vcrsal Library which is being
sought from every part of the world.
All this complaint and objection t.
the Universal Library not confniny
itself to refreshments from the Rel
river and strictly to books and high
class literature is unconstitutional.

or perpleXitles as to whether Lord
Bacon or Shakespeare wrote Shake

him indulge in near-beer or the Red
river product. Nothing should nor
could satisfy him except SchlitZ Or
BudWeiser or the real stuff that may
make some men climb a pole O."
stand on his head as monkey.
The Universal Library even with
out books is O. H. 1t would be a
burning shame to squelch it.
And never mind Tom Wells. H.
will be turned up when needed.
1t is being explained that no of
fense was intended in that Whiskey )
transaction. If that be true, why
should one J. b. Byles, name given
by the police and listed as the ''li-
brarian," should have been arrest =
ed by Officer Hudson? We repeat
all this proceeding is in direct Op-
position of a mans liberty and is
contrary to the spirit of the Consti-
tuition.
