COMPANY TALKS BACK.
Editor News Times:

Editor News-Times:
If the dope that you had in your
editorial in todays paper is a sample
OF what one may expect in your col
umns there is certainly one newspa-
per in the city that cannot be depend
ed upon TO tell the truth. / refer to
your editorial as TO how you are keep
ing the lid on the town You say that
there were a couple cigar dealers who
called on Mayor Keller and requested
a return of the penny machines and
that he was willing, but was afraid to
permit il on account of The News
Times The truth of the matter is
that the writer last week called on the
mayor and asked that we might be
allowed to operate merchandise cards
TO enable US to move a lot of fancy
goods that there is a slow sale for,
and to be allowed to stimulate sales
by putting in dice boxes as is the Gus
tom in nearly every city, town and
hamlet in the country.
At that time, to show him that we
did not feel the request to be unrea-
sonable, a list of earnings a few years
back, together with the earnings I'M
der his administration were shown
him. Mr.. Keller then said that he was
sorry, but had taken the stand on the
start that nothing of this kind would
be allowed and that he could not see
his way clear to retract. Your paper
was not mentioned, nor anyone con-
nected with il, and it seems quite out
OF place for you TO be thinking II is
out of fear of your sheet that the laws
in south Bend are being enforced.
This letter is not by any means an
endorsement of the Keller form of adj
ministration, as we are not, and have
not been for him in political way.
but we feel that when one knows
where a man stands and he sticks TO 1t
that he deserves something better
than the insult that you have handed
10 him in today's paper.
While on the subject il might be
we'll 10 say that l have talked to near
ly every cigar dealer in the down town
section and they-every one have told
me that they do not want penny ma
chimes back. We are not such blood
thirsty crowd of men that we want TO
see men smoke and chew themselves
TO death, but il is a fact that go per
cent Of our trade are men who like
some means OF amusement and as 1t
of course helps our sales we feel hurt
to be without them.
Yours truly.

NOW WE'RE TAKEN TO TASK.

We are glad TO learn from Mr.. Louis
T. Shirk. manager OF the Oppenheim-
er Cigar store that the story brought
to US and commented upon Sunday
morning. 10 the effect that II II were
not for this paper, Mayor Keller would
lift the lid" especially with respect
tc penny machines in cigar stores. was
quite without foundation. Mr.. Shirk' 8
communication appears in the Let
ters OF the People" column today,
with respect TO which. furthermore,
we have but one criticism. and that
is that he should presume from our
comment Sunday. that we had taken
the language charged to the mayor
in the least seriSr-'y Had he taken
the trouble TO rea- what we had 10
say trifle carefully. he might have
found these expressions:
Bully for the mayor, II he said it.
with but one exception. and then in
anoher place:
However. we disagree with the as
sertion-doubting that he made it,
that South Bend is being all shot to
pieces"
And we beg TO inform our critic,
here and now. that we never did take
the remarks Mayor Keller was said
TO have made in the least seriously,
further than 70 answer il mainly as an
answer to certain estimable gentle
men in South Bend who have been
considerably dissatisfied Of late be-
cause OF our refusal to keep rag sing
at the mayors policies. anG Toe not
openly urging him to Gift the Lid for
their more or less personal benefit.
We hope that Mayor Keller doesn't
need 10 fear The News-Til"ss or any
other newspaper. in order to keep his
campaign promises We insist farther
that we have shown him about as
much respect for keeping those prom
Uses. and about as few insults, as some
OF those gentlemen who have been
seeking TO make it appear that the
only reason the mayor keeps the lid
on is because he is afraid of The
ws-Times-which he has no reason
10 be as long as he does the right
thing.
1t is about like some Of the stories
that have come TO US that the mayor
rents his private property for immoral
purposes: like the damnable lie dir
culated last winter by bar-fly and CT
gar store gossip. that when he visited
a session Of the legislature he was
caught in a bawdy house down there.
We have been running these lies TO
earth for year-and-a-half and the
communication from Mr.. Shirk mere
" explodes another one.
We are more than pleased that we
said what we did Sunday. Had we
not done so. the story,-the real in
suit 20 the mayor-wOuld probably
have been current in the cigar stores
and bar rooms for the next six
months The publication has served
TO bring out flat denial from the
manor one of the men,-to whom it
was said the executive told il, and fur
thermore, il provides - with an ex-
cuse for denouncing the rank false
hoods, which we have investigated
with respect 10 the mayor renting
property TO house immortality, and
ditto. with regard to his conduct al

insisted that there is zone paper in
the city that cannot be depended upon

BACK To THE FARM
SAYS CITY MARSHAL
OFFICER WILL TENDER REsIC.

RECENTLY PURCHASED.
says Office Salary Is Not Worth the
While and that 'Cussing" Is
Disagreeable 90 Him.

The back to the farm" movement
has hit the city government pretty
hard during the present year. Fol
loving the announcement of the city
attorney that he would resign his
Office not later than the first of the
new year to move to the farm,
comes similar announcement from
City Marshal Jim Jones. Jim saws
he was raised on the farm and that
you can bring the boy out of the
country but can't get the country
out OF the boy" and he is going
back. Ills going back to the farm
viii mean that Ellis county will
lose him as a citizen. He has bought
a farm near Caddo Mills in Hunt
county and will move onto ii as soon
as he can get possession. 1t is pos
sible that he will not tender his
resignation as city marshal before
the end of the year, but would like
very much to get onto his farm
during November or December.
In furtheranee of his back 10 the
farm" plans Mr.. Jones has traded
his automobile for a span of mules
and getting a line on a few good
hens. brood SOW or two and some
good cows. He says he will be a
diyersiaer Of the first water and
that no zone crop idea will get
hold on him. Farming is no new
experience for Jim Jones. He has
made success nj farming and
knows he can do it again. 1t was
Jim Jones who started the county
farm out on a paying basis as man
ager.
He says the Office Of city marshal
is not worth the while, that fellow
does not get salary enough to pay
for the work and the "cussing' he
gets along with it.
