The Minneapolis Journal seemingly
struck the right note when it on tie
start condemned such monStrOsity
as the Willard Fulton fight at St.
Paul and says that good citizens Will
not stand for two sleek ambitious in
dividuals fighting thirty minutes for
fortune when the country is call
ing men and money to fight the battle
of democracy in France. The same
paper in speaking of the closing of
cabarets in Chicago on May 1, says
that "the joy noise CRATES harshly on
the war-nerve" If local parties would
take the hint and get into the spirit
of things as the better element pre-
fer, Garden City would be more con-
sistent at times. One class of visitors
who come here merely for self gratifi-
cation from time to time might we'll
read the signs of the times and cut
out the jazz and the hop and do a
little patriotic thinking. The article
in The Free Press sometime ago
about cleaning up the corners" which
meant "squelching the roughnecks,' u
could be applied here occasionally.
These things are not simply knocks
but suggestions for improvement
