ALEx. LANGEL. sCAPEGOAT.

Endorsement by the Tribune Of
Harvey Rostiser, the democratic
nominee for city clerk. is a deserved
tribute 10 a conscientious and eff
cient official.
Likewise the ditching OF Alex.
Langel. the bar tender nominee OF the
citizens party. whom Keller and the
Tribune brought into the race. was

Langel is the scapegoat.
The Tribune will doubtless continue

THE MELTING POT

AT that the enjoyment OF the music
Of good band is not heightened by
the raucOus, discordant squawking Of
a score or more automobile horns.
Aside from the commercial aspect
, the purpose Of the Saturday evening
concerts is 10 afford the public an
opportunity 10 hear good music and
be entertained at time when they
have the leisure to enjoy 1t.
Besides, il is unlawful, or should
be- to make or cause TO be made, loud
and unusual noises. which jar the
ears and distress the mind OF the
public.
As a means Of expression OF appre-
citation OF real music, the automobile
horn is our idea Of the negligible.

emotions the parting word his father

WITH the organized press humor-

forts TO extricate himself from pros
ecution.
Early Thursday morning a stranger
came into the Bueche store and ask
.er for a ten dollar bill. saying he
wished to give a number Of ones for it..
The grocer gave him the BILL but the
stranger found he did not have but
nine dollars in change, but saying he
would be back in a minute he placed
the $40 bill in an envelope and threw
it on the counter and went out TO get
the other dollar.
In the miXup that purpOsely ac-
cured the envelopes were exchanged
and the strange man walked off with
the bill, leaving an envelope on the
counter. The real motive of the
strangers visit finally dawned on the
grocer and opening the envelope he
found only a handful of brown paper.
He hurried out and accidently run
on to his offender at Lowell St He
got his money and the thief gave him
five additional dollar bills for not

nearly six foot tall, with a soft felt
hat and pink tie and was riding q

THE PROPER PARTY.
BY BertOn Braley.


There was something to do.
So I went to the man
Who had time and enough
To do it.
And 1 said to him, you
Can help with my plan
It's right up TO snuff
Go to it."
But he said to me, "oh.
1 have burdens of care,
So many they make
Me dizzy
I'd help you, you know,
But ! simply can't spare
The time it will take
I'm busy"
Then l went to the chap
Who was rushed with his Job.
And who labored in glee
Amid IL,
And he said to me. cap,
I'm as busy as Bob.
But-you leave it to met
He did IT.
And the moral is plain:
When you want a thing done
And some one TO snap
Right to ii.
You'll bother in vain
With the leisurely one
Get the busiest chap
