MUTT AND JEFF.

Not satisfied with meeting private citizen George F.
Wright, with argument his Chamber of Commerce
propaganda, the big daily in one of its late issues in
dozen more lines pours forth its sarcasm in fit of
personality unbecoming newspaper of ordinary stand
ing and utterly uncaled for in innocent and well mean
.ang affair.
f The Journal has been kened by of its readers
TO the escapades and shop reors of Mutt and Jeff
while the retorts that have dropped from the OF the
editor, are more or less sarcastic, yet void OF wit and
sharpness it appears that the subby editor who is play
ing the roll of Jeff in the has somewhat put it over
the private citizen who measures up to the any Mutt AS
Mutt in Bud Fishers renowned characerzatons of the
longs and the shorts the bgs and the Titles the greats
and the nonentes has always shown tender compassion
Tor Jeff for various reasons perhaps on account OF his
size both brain and stature, Mr. Wright will doubt
pass by the uncaed for personalities thrust at himself
feeling that good citizen must at all times be the
target for the nvecve of The Journals little Jeff and
that he may well take his turn
While it appears that far the editor of the "bg
daily has scored at least in and invective Mr.
Wright will do well to turn few pages of history,
and learn that in the matter of accomplishments Of the
Commercia-Boosters club The Journal is Of those
who 'has up through great tribulation." If Mr.
Wright will call at this office and look the back files
f The Journal and this paper, he will find that The
journal the very first to bettle the work of the
Commercial Boosters club and it The Journal that
cvInmitted the first theft against the club He will find
the record reveals the fact that Messrs Bacon Harris and
&ngton found it necessary to investigate petty charges
Es1 personalities born the steps of The Journal and
completely vindcate those whom that INSCRIPTIONS
sheet used it target He will further find that The
Journal deliberately attempted to steal all the credit for
Es promotion and doing of the ground work incident to
setting the street railroad from the depot to the Agri
cultural college, and credited up to its Democratic city
administration. He will find that the feeling in club cir
s strong against this outrageous theft and that
completely repudated by the officers of the
club and called down through the columns of this paper
that its general manager chilly for weeks its city
editor took the back streets to and from the hillside it's
advertising the street walked with bowed head
and thoughtful and passed up many stores when certain
personalities were behind the counter, and for months
the shots from the gun of the real editor harmless
those little Jeff is shooting at German submarines
Mr. Wright was innocent in his venture, and had no
intention to reflect upon good club but The Journal
at once sought to place him in the roll of the accuser
perhaps to atone for its SINS to up its own
shortcomings. WE'LL "while the lamp holds out burn
the vles sinner return and after having been such
knocker and perpetrated the hefts that The Journal
has against the club it is refreshing
note its repentance. If Mr. Wright has done nothing
else he has brought this chronic kicker realization of
Its shortcomings, and made booster for the club
sought to destroy Mr. Wright entitled to the thanks
of the community.
