Attacking a Public Official in
PRAYERS.

In the June American Magazine
Brand Whitlock, Mayor of Toledo,
Ohio, writing his "reminiscences
tells about attacks that were made
on him by intolerant ministers. The
Following is an extract: Several
times they attacked me in their
prayers. For instance, if-after I
became mayor went to deliver an
address of welcome, and a preacher
was there to open the assembly
with prayer, he sometimes would
take advantage of the situation and
IN the pretense of asking a blessing
on the chief magistrate of our be-
loved city, point out by shortcom-
lngs and read me lecture on my
duties with his eyes shut and his
hands folded. To hat attack il
would have been necessary, l pre-
sumo, though l am not quite sure
OF the ecclesiastical etiquette, to re-
ply with my eyes shut and my
hands folded, but Jones had said:
When He was reviled, He reviled
not again. and He that endureth to
the end. 1t seemed as good a plan
as any, | never replied to these or
any other of their attacks-indeed
found it better never to reply to
any criticisms or attacks whatever
though some of the leaders of our
always insisted that the
preachers opposed us because they

historical precedents, by their

NEW ORLEANS SOCIETY
Surprised by the News Of Kruu-
schnitts Divorce and Is to Re-
smarry Soon.

According to the States New Or
leans society is surprised by the
news that Theodore Herman krutt-
schnitt. son of julius kruttschnitt
and nephew Of the late E. B. krutt-
schnitt, was divorced from his wife
who was Miss Violet Potter of New
Orleans, and that he is en- route to
North Carolina to be welded to Miss
Lily Watt Penn, interested local so
ciety Saturday.
The second Mrs. kruttschnitt to
be is the daughter of Samuel Cabell
Penn of Reldsvile, N. c. Mr.. krutt-
schnitt passed through New Orleans
this week en- route to North Caro-
lima from Tucson, AriZ, to be mar
ried, it is understood. soon after his
arrival in the mountains.
The fact that the Kruttschnitt's
We're separated came as a shock to
New Orleans society people. Miss
Potter was social favorite here up
TO four years ago, when she married
young kruttschnitt, much against
the wishes of the parents of both.
The couple were declared to be too
young. The first year of their mar
riage was spent in Oakland, Cal.
A short time ago Mrs. krutt-
schnitt applied for a divorce and
the complaint went on what is
known in Arizona as the secret file.
In Arizona the first decree is final.
She is said to have been on the
stand five minutes. The petition was
not opposed by Mr.. Kruttschnitt and
the decree was granted.
Mrs. kruttschnitt went to San
Immediately after secur-
ing her freedom and sailed for the
Orient. She was entertained by So
ciety friends while in California, but
to no one the information
that she had been divorced. The
former Mrs. krutschnitt is stately
young woman of tall stature and
stylish bearing. She is we'll remem-
bered in New Orleans as one of the
most popular of the younger society
set.

CONGRESSMAN EstOpinal.

In recent issue of the Caucasian,
in an article 1.-The Louisiana Pro-
lection congressman" reviewing the
four congressman, DR.. Lazaro, Nor
gan, Dupre and BrOussard who
voted with the Republicans against
the Underwood Tariff Reform bill,
there was connected with this arti-
Gle the paragraph following:
1--WE may Query: What about Es-
topinal of the Third District, in
which is embraced the lower half of
New Orleans, including the parishes
below fronting on the Mississippi
hiver? The query is suggested in
the absence of his name being on
the reported roll call"
The query is explained by Con-
gresham Estopinal, to whom the
Caucasian is indebted for leaf
from the Congressional Record in
which is printed the proceedings of
the day. On the motion to RECON-
NIT (the underwood bid EstOpinal
voted no, and was i'm full accord
with the Underwood bill.
On the question: Shall the bill
Underwood) pass? Estopinal voted
yes" with the Democratic major
ity.
Had the report from Washington
been complete and Congressman Es-
topinals vote had been recorded as
it should have been, the Caucasian's
query would have been unneces-
sary.
1t is very pleasing to note that
Congressman Estopinal is fully
on the side of the great ma
jority of the people.
