down two salaries for his services. When inaugu-
rated as Mayor Mr. Curey was member of the

BECKER GETS NEW TRIAL


There was man in our town,
Whose character was trail;
He Jumped into a gambe-bush,
Md landed in the jail.
But when they saw that he was IN,
So sorry did they feel,
They cried Fiat Justitia'
And granted an appeal.
| remember, ! remember
The dav he went TO jail,
The editorials in The World;
The headlines in The Mail
IT was childish ignorance,
But now it makes me mad
To know he is as far from Justice
