The professional reformers who devote
their lives to forcing their notions on other
people, are too often narrow, dogmatic and
bigoted; they can only see one side of a

against professional hbertines, they might
inflict horrible injustice upon boys and

The men who take that oath are traitors

AFRAID TO publish any report. They hastily
laid the whole thing on the table, and Boat
ner went below for another drink.
incidentally, the next Congress abolished
that ba1To0m.
BY the way, | wrote the Minority Report
OF the Boatner Committee and Jerry Simp-
son signed it; the New York Herald spoke
of it as Jerry's work. and called it ian exv
qulslte specimen of humor."
Jerry wore the compliment gracefully and
the House never knew the real author of the
paper l may look it up, some day, and if
it is as funny as the Herald said it was,
may reprint it, so that The Rascal Whipper
can see how facetious | can be, when [ am in

1t is great pleasure to learn that North
Carolina is free from statesmen who look
upon the liquor when it is red.
1t did not used to be that way, for all of us
remember what it was that the Governor Of
South Carolina said to the Governor of
North Carolina
AS to the age of consent in girls, that
opens big question, and it is full Of diff
culties.
The age of puberty was what our law
makers were trying to get at.
Suppose a bad boy and bad girl come
together, as so often happens, and the girl
meets the boy half way, as so often happens.
Must that boy be put to death for rape?
Suppose 1t acere your bog, Mr.. Rascal
Whipper!

what's what
No matter how much we may deplore it,
