for the state grain and warehouse
commission next year. Good old Ed.
is worthy Of anything that the boys
decide to hand him.
A few thousand packages. Of bird.
seed distributed in the fiFe-devastated
hinterland this winter might do con-
gresham Garss more good than many
boxes Of campaign cigars next October.

Little 'Tammany either felt too poor
or lacked enough interest to give con-
gresham Carss banquet or some other

If there is anything new, novel or
shiny that Doc. Hoke thinks the school
board should bay, he should. speak up
loudly before the dear old treasury
runs completely dry:
If some Of the cripples sitting around
the pie-counter dislike the Rip-saw g

Twenty-Five women and children
were burned at a Sunday dance in
Louisiana. They should have attended

Some of the heroes who believe in
"treating rough" anyone who holds d.

Hon. John Christie landed in New
York last Sunday after a summer and
fall spent in old Scotia. Strong man
that he is, big tears coursed down his
cheeks when he found that even New
York City had gone dry:
The department Of safety punctures
pimple on the blotched face OF. the
body polite now and then. A brisk
continuation of that policy will improve
the public's moral complexion and do
no harm to the rising generation.
The Rip-saw has given a number Of
cheerful office-holders hundreds and
even thousands of dollars worth Of
free campaign advertising, but not one
of them sent the head sawyer Is cents'
worth Of venison or moose meat.

Jack Carney may be wrong when he
charges returned soldiers with cutting
the electric wires at Woodman hall.
Perhaps the lawless fellows are some
Of Doc. Schaibly's notorious knights
Of the Tar Bucket.
The threatening letters sent to the
Rip-saw editor last spring by the cow

Poor old Dick Cullen is wintering at
Fergus Falls and, it is reported, busily
engaged in organizing billion-dollar
iron company for the purpose Of selling
shares to some Of the nuts and bugs
in the state institution who imagine
that they are richer than Rockefeller.

Some Of these lawless chaps who
