The Melting Pot
COME TAKE POTDUCK
WITH Us

CITY Clerk Frank Bilinski and
sergt. George Sands have alw,-~s
been the best of friends. DanoG
and Pythias were like quarreling
children when compared TO Frank
and George.
So il was with much concern that
Mr. Bilinski read a communication
from Sergt Sands at Camp Taylor
the other day The communication
caused the city clerk to search every
corner of his mind for the reason
for the communication, and he
might have been searching yet if he
had not discovered that several
other friends OF the lawyer sergeant
had received communications identi-
cal with the one received by him.
They read in red ink:
You could have me arrested for
what / think OF You"
Up 10 a very short time ago, City
Controller John A. Swygart was in
a class all by himself. He had the
reputation of being the best dressed
member OF the Carson administra-
ton, barring of course the lady
members of the administration. In
fact, Mr.. Swygart very frequently
causes Mayor Carson TO ejaculate:
John is certainly the best dressed
man in my administration"
However, Mr. Swygart has a very
serious rival in the person Of Harvey
Rostiser. And il seems TO be a real
rivalry. One morning Mr.. Swygart
appears in a natty gray suit. And
the very next morning Mr.. ROstiser
appears in an even natter dark blue
suit Then to maintain his reputa-
ton, Mr.. Swygart comes TO work in
one of those screams in mems attire,
and Mr.. Rostiser has the appearance
OF having been knocked through the
ropes, but only for a day. The next
morning he appears in one of those
real expensive fur-lined overcoats,
and Mr.. Swygart is put to it to keep
up his reputation.
The latest touch of fashion adopt
ed by Mr.. Rostiser in his effort 10
carry off the honors is a beautiful
creation in the way of headgear. It
is a soft blue in color. and unless
Mr.. Swygart does something ex-
tremely out Of the ordinary. the
mayor will be forced to change his
mind.
The Swygart- Rostiser contest IS
exciting great interest among the at
taches at the city building, with the
odds even. G. J. G.

his very temperate speech in his own
defense in Cleveland, his contention
for free speech under the constitu-
ton is well supported in citation of
instances where Lincoln, Sumner,
Clay and Webster criticised the ad-
ministration during the Mexican
war. During the Civil war demo-
cratic politicians repeatedly talked

All of these men were mistaken so
far as the Civil war was concerned,
but there is every reason to believe

take to put these men in prison at
that time. I believe, in a democ-
