Our good friend and worthy con-
temporary, Fl. L. Ram, Of the Press.
attempts to put US in wrong light
before the people of this community
by referring in very sighting man
ner to an error in news item in The
Democrat last week To be sure, we
owe pat" Madden an apology for in

a business visitor here. Mr.. Ram. in
looking over the local page of The
Democrat for news items for his pap

week we discovered several items
that would make appropriate matter

We are inclined to believe that Mr.
i Ram had better devote more OF his
time to the management of his School
Of Auto Engineering, and turn over
TO more competent hands the matter
