ROSTON,S SHAME

HECAUSE good citizens would not

L. Tuesday that city has as it's
mayor a man denounced as a
political Zapata," backed by an or
ganization known as the Tammany
club and modelled on the shameful or
ganization that has been responsible
for so much bad government in New
York.
Thomas ]. Kenny, the unsuccessful
candidate, a Democrat supported by
Republicans and Progressives, was
plainly the man for the office. He has
a good record and stood pledged to
those things which are unquestionably
for the best interests of the city. The
candidate elected is Congressman Cur
ley, also a Democrat, and a profess
sional politician In the worst sense of
the word, If one is to believe even n
fraction of what has been said of him
by the newspapers of Boston and his
opponents during the campaign.
The reasons for Kenny's defeat and
Curleys election are not hard to find.
The good citizen" remained at home
and did not vote. Curley's friends
played practical politics to the limit.
They got out the vote to the extent
of some 5000 more than were record

Quick. Watson, the needle; I'm tired

In trying to locate this singer
OF humorous poems, that Of late have

The name he assumes is Wing
Dinger.
ut seems he is writing his lines every
day,
And the difficult part of the game
Is that he disguises his verse In all
tongues,
And his meter is never the same.
I'm frank to confess that I've worked
upon Jobs
That have puzzled us both, me and
you,
And we've solved them in time, but on
this mystery,
Dear Watson, / haven't a clue.
II have juggled my thoughts till I'm all
tired out.
And I'm forced to give up now in
shame;
