 Foolish and UnkindIy Gossip. Relatives here are being almost con stantiy worried by gossip relative t i Danielson men being wounded il France. Practically every one of thes stories is without foundation, but the, are told as belng the whole truth There is nothing of malice in tn stories they being told in the line o news" by persons who want to be tn first to know things, whether right O wrong.
 l Carrying Fad Too Far.
 And now comes the yelled suggestion that the police department can b. abolished, ito save money" if Xii lingly will vote no-icense this fa1 Such nonsense is more of an injur, than help to the no license forces it is claimed in well informed quar I ters in Danielson. The record of tn years shows that there has been mucl
 business for Danielson's court, in dr
 as well as in wet periods, and tha !. night patrol cannot be dispensed wit
 under any circumstances. Startin something has become a reprehensibl habit in Danielson, and the suggestion
 that Danielson can get along withou
 its police protection is in line with tn
 habit. Danielson could get along, a
 it could without electric lights, stree cars, telephones and numerous othe
 things that cost money. but Danielso doesn't want to, if the opinion of thos
 who pay the bills is worth anything up and down the business section.
