day that she never knew a democrat
who was not either a saloon keeper.
tramp, or bum.
Tut, tut! The lady is evidently not
well acquainted with the folks Of
Mishawaka. We beg 10 inform her
that there are numerous members Of
the church TO which she belongs who
are prominent members OF that
party. and who, as far as we know.
are neither saloon keepers. tramps or
buns. The mere fact that one Of
their number does not get his hair
cut quite as often as may suit some
fastidious tastes, does not surely con-
stitute him a bum or even a tramp,
although he may have the appear
ance Of one at times. But hair cut
ting has gone 20 80 cents a throw,
and the democrat we have in mind
has been a generous subscriber TO
the Liberty loan. otherwise he might
have been able TO pay more frequent
visits to the barber shop.
Honor to the republican woman
who wasn't afraid 10 rise in her seat
and inform the meeting that "Our
president is a democrat"
And il is just this kind Of vaporing
that is going 10 help beat the repub-
lican candidate for mayor.
Outside the Tribune office there is
but little betting on the results Of
Tuesdays election The law against
gambling in Mishawaka is strict, but
Of course the lid may have been tilt
ed for this occasion, although we
had not known it.
As we understand it, in Washing

bottled up and cellared down.
Father may be said 10 be properly
trained when he has arrived at the
stage of docility that when mother
strikes him for a ten-spot, he sings

Baltimore buffets announce Scotch
90 cents a throw" At that rate, it
wouldn't surprise US to see the aver
age Baltimorean with his throwing
arm in a sling.
A recipe for chicken glace says:
ITO one cup of leftover chicken"
etc. 1t is no use to proceed further.
There wasn't any Of it left.
We trust every society woman in
Mishawaka will read the article in
today's News-Times entitled "Cinder-
ella and the Select Society Of Snobs,"
and that they will not fail to get its
application.
Doc. Wiley says we all eat too
much, anyway" says the Boston
Globe. If the doc even intimates that
we give offense of that character he
is a blankety blank prevaricator. Our
ingrowing waistline has assumed such
form that republican enemies are
accusing us of wearing a corset.
The Hon. Jennie Rankin delivered
two speeches in North Carolina and
made a hit The oratorical lady is
a rarity in old -fashioned North car

keep house. mother their children

Once in a while these Scotch Pres
byterians give up willingly, but as
rule they anticipate the quid pro quo
in the great hereafter.
AIishawaka is waiting 70 be asked
20 again contribute toward one or
the other war necessities. Mishawaka
folks are going 10 give until il hurts.
That's their nature But for this
burg ST. Joseph county would have
made ridiculously poor showing in
every one of the patriotic duties to
which it was asked TO subscribe.
We trust the Presbyterian bells

Farmers around Mishawaka are
storing away thousands Of bushels
OF potatoes for higher prices. Is
there no way in which the laws of
the country can be made 10 reach
this class of slackers?
Ask Ernie Beebe and he'll tell you
it's all over but the shouting for
Christoph, while the republicans ad-
NIT that to win they must put up the
greatest election fight in the history
Of the city. That's evidently why
