The Town Records show that
several leaders of that epoch still
owe large LIGHT bills. Why
were they not made to pay like we
are I?
The Court House records show
that your candidate for Mayor was
several years back with his taxes
when the present administration
took charge. Why was he exemp-
ted from paying his just proper
ton of taxation, and if not exempt
why wasn't the collection forced
according to law2
Do you think that a town can
prosper under such management?
By attacking the present ad-
ministration you have opened the
door to q discussion of the above
subjects. I am always open to
conviction and I simply want
to learn the truth. If you are
able to show that this town is not
better served now than it was dur
ing your administration of its af-
fairs 1 will gladly change my posi-.
ton. On the other hand, If you
are unable to do 80, you should moi
try to inflict yourselves upon thii
kindly population.

should answer the questions asked
by Xxx" in the last issue of the
Banner, and accordingly 1 take up
the cudgels.
Usually "X' stands for an I'M
known quantity, therefore, Xxx"
should stand for doubly ditto.
The spectacle of an unknown
quantity" appearing as an astrono-
mical point in the political heaven
with which we are concerned is al
ways sufficiently amusing to at
tract attention; but to find SO rare
a bird among US is surely a novel
delight. He rouses his "bile" in
behalf of the old administration,
and coughs up long communica-
ton "a Ia outs-trying-to-get-in)
entitled CORRUPT PRAC-
TICES APPERTAINING TO
ELECTIONS". Now, isn't that
irony enough for the Gods ? A
ring" booster discovering himself
to be the protest, suddenly set
among us, against the rottenness
of the present town administration,
the protest of the Angelic life
against the earthly, the eternal
good against the eternal bad.
Think of it; "A ring" parasite
calling such names as political bar
nacle, dyed in the wool politician,
and erstwhile pap-sucker. Xxx"
evidently does not know that peo-
pie who live in glass cages should
not throw stones. In this connec-
ton it may not be amiss to reiter-
ate that the 1912 Legislature. to
which Xxx" referred, while pass
ing said Corrupt Practice Act pro-
badly had in mind the particular
and especial BENEFIT" of the esti-
mable ORGANI ZATION and
those leaders of the 80 called RE-
GULARS who were handling the
machine. Every body knows that
RING CORRUPTION is respon-
sible for the Corrupt Practice Act
SURPRISING it to be true that
the Business Mems Campaign is
being managed by POLITICAL
BARNACLE, AND DYED IN
THE WOOL POLITICIAN AND
ERSTWHILE PAP SUCKER
AND BARNACLE you must
bear in mind that this self-samt
Political-human- monstrosity broke

And further, supposing that tn

to have CAMPAIGN FUND manage

managed by the gentleman VIII

reason that if your classi6c alton
correct they would both oc cup

toned political menagerie; excel
that one would be handling publ

exists.

with him.

AS concerns the matter of man
running a negro into q business
mans home and applying the
whip. and ETC., the books show
that policeman was on hand to
arrest the said man, who was duly
brought before the Mayor, where
he pleaded guilty to disturbing
the peace, and was fined $500.
You will also find upon investiga-
ton that the said $500 are &C
counted for on the books. Un-
u.ual, is mt it?
Also, you will readily admit that
most white people would consider
it more respectable to pay $500 to
whip negro who insults a white
man than to engage the services
of negro to distribute tickets at
a white mans election in a civil
lized community.
Also it can reasonable be said
that $500 fine for disturbing the
peace is quite an improvement
over letting a certain prominent
defeated politician draw con-
cealed weapon on election day and
threaten to shoot an antagonist in
the direction of mob of innocent
bystanders and the same not being
prosecuted for wearing a concealed
weapon.
So far as that $4,000 cam
paign fund is concerned, it gives
me kind of sneaking notion
that if considering hard times)
the people of this town have al
ready put up such a vast sum Of
money to defray the expenses OF
the second funeral ceremony of the
old "ring" it is pretty good in
dication that the said people are
determined to bury the old ring

USE RUSE GOO YEARS OLD

London-A correspondent of the

states that the ruse employed by the
Scotch to help bring about the defeat
of the English at Bannockburn in 1914
has been repeated successfully by the
British in the battle of the User. He
says:
About twenty-five yards in front Of
our trenches deep pits we're dug.
These were covered with branches
and loose turf, as at Bannockburn,
and into these the Germans fell In
heaps, calling out pitiably when, too
late, they discovered the stratagem
Although the Germans more than
filled the pits, others came on in great
numbers and the pits soon became a
scene of appalling horror. The Ger
mans struggled, cried and fought one
another In their vain attempts to ex-
tricate themselves. Many were acct
dentally transfxed by the bayonets Of
those who had first fallen, while 9TH
ers were shot by comrades. A shell
fell into one pit and the huddled mass
within was blown out Of existence"
