However DESTROYS the prosecuting attor-
ney may have been to frame up against
Sheriff Strlnger, this same Stringer will
have hard time convincing the public that
Dr. Iitfin and John Hart will enter into
any collllslon to frame up against him. If
YOU are on the square and in the open, Mr.
Sheriff. throw your doors open and invite
the closest investigation of your every
official act and if there be an appointee in
your office that has not walked the straight

1t is hereby agreed that the manufac-
turers of the country force wages down,

what they now are which will be abso-
lutely prohlbitive against their usage.

the truth, we suspect Dug would be COM
PEELED to remain under this self same vine
and fig tree during his natural life and one
day thereafter.
We quite agree with President Wilson in

1t is currently reported that Woodrow
Wilson, he of fourteen points fame, has de-
clded to spend his vacation in Washington
City, but much depends on the state of
society in Paris as to whether he will or
will not. Things seem to be entirely too
plebian in Washington for Mrs. Wilson,
