the little local bantamweight. Win

Ter and that will give him chance
to redeem himself. He's all right,

uganda in an effort to discredit Presi-
dent Wilson, has stopped to down.
right lying. In his latest syndicated
article he makes the false statement
that the President refused to visit the
battlefelds of France. The contrary
is true, as every well-informed person
knows. There is something bad the
matter with Mr.. Standardization
Citizen.
Mr.. Simonds is no doubt a good
Republican. He has been on the edi-
torial staff of The New York Tribune,
which for years has been the leading
light of the Republican party in jour
nalism. He is probably still so re-
tanned and feels that he must do his
bit of fault-fnding with the Demo-
Gratis, which means Mr., Wilson only
to them, for he is all they fear. He
was probably correct if he meant that
Mr.. Wilson declined to visit all the
scenes of carnage. But Simonds is
neither prophet or saint.

have all of the very finest pictures
shown here at our progressive Strand.

things are shown here week or two
