Dear Cynthia-Through you to DE
Jure" and "Sophst," greeting.
You ask who We are that dare to
address our peers in such a tone. Just
couple OF poor testers who hope, Sir
knights, to gain favor by shaking a
nasty pen even as you have. OF course,
sirSs, we can never hope to achieve the
fame that has come TO you through
your control of tho English language /;
but please. sires, won't you encourage
us just a little bit in our literary ef-
Webster before us we might be able
too TO spill a lot OF stuff as you have ;
but, doggoneit, some one stole ours, so
we're s. o. l.
Now "De Jure," even though we are
but testers, let us unsheath our swords
in defense of those poor, foolish girls
who submitted to your kisses, / can't
und erstand how you can speak OF your
self as knight and yet attempt to
place a commercial value on kisses.
Se knights Of olde accepted kisses from
their ladies' as a boon and not as pay
ment for some little amusement. think
it's a shame that such chaps are per-
mitted to chase around loose. For II
they penned you up our young girls
would be safe to go around as they
men to protect them. instead of a lot
OF dance lizards who are Just waiting
for a chance TO take advantage Of the
innocent,
Why don't you. DE Jure," and you
"Sophlst," use your pens and flow OF
English In the defense OF our woman
hood instead of belittling yourselves.
as you have heretofore7

S1rearing Us. Profanity

My neighbor has a fine husband.
He's a kind father and all that.
But he WILL swear.
At least SHE calls it swearing.
HE doesn't--says he's not profane.
That's not taking Gods name in vain
Plain damn Is not profanity.
It's merely a harmless eXpletive."

He kissed her with them.

She tried the Golden Rule on him.
"Do as you'd be done by.

Her sample was a rank failure.
The naughty word choked her.
She decided 10 try another tack.
Sonny was in on Il. also the cook.
One evening Dad came home tired.
Wifey met him smiling at the door.
He kissed n smudge on her cheek.
"Dirtyface. he reproved.
Been helping Bridget, Girly?"
He sat down at table.
The cloth was soiled and spotted.
He unfolded his napkin.

Some STRANGE Nom de Plume

Dear Cynthia-The "Sophlst" is
apparently afflicted with a very serious
disease, which ] would call lingo mania.
The contents OF his Uranium seem to
be overburdened with superlatve ad-
jectives. of which there IL such an
enormous quantity that said Uranium
cannot stand the strain any longer
hence the explosion.
He seems to think himself eXcruclat-
ingly funny, and in order to give vent
TO his eNuberant spirits he calls forth
the elements Of his extensive vocabulary
as a medium through which TO convey
his extraordinary wittcisms.
must confess that after perusing
that missive OF nonsensical nothingness
OF his ] was compelled to indulge in
some slight guffawing myself. He is
undoubtedly profoundly engrossed in
Mr.. Webster's works at the present
moment, seeking material for his next
letter, My "Sophist," but you certain
ly are the cheese. Now that you are
rid of all that Objectionable matter, II
is my most sincere desire that you are
convalesctng very rapidly.

when you wrote about the conduct of
such girls who will even lower them
selves enough to tell or to" hint about
how much they liked this silly, cheap
loving and kissing.
We don't know what to think of you

that very unspeakable kiss. If you were
what you could be you would not be

ladies' indulged in.
Now, wake up, "Masher," and the

NEGRO COMMITTEEMAN rESTI-
FIES BEFORE COMMITTEE ON
CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURES.

/ CHICAGO.-The forces behind
the presidential candidacy of Gen.
Leonard Wood spent between $685.
600 and $4,000 in the Georgia
campaign and $4,000 of Lowden
money was spent by one agent alone
thehre it was declared at the hear
ing of the senate committee investi-
eating campaign funds here, by Hen
iry Lincoln johnson, negro republi-
can national committeeman from
Georgia.
In addition to the thousands of
dollars in money distributed by the
! Wood forces, Johnson declared,
Frank H. Hitchcock, the Wood field
manager, promised postmasterships
galore" to Wood hackers in Georgia.
Present federal officeholders in
the state, he said, were lined up be-
hind the candidacy of Attorney Gen
eral A. Mitchell Palmer.
/ Johnson, who was charged in the
Washington meetings of the commit
tee with having received $4,000
from the Governor Lowden campaign
fund, in his testimony declared he
had spent only $3.50 on behalf of the
Lowden capaign in Georgia.
He said there "was wild use OF
Wood money" in that state and that
supporters of the army man had
spent $4,000 there in his behalf.
Johnson deviated number of
times to attack what he termed the
Acknowledgement of negroes in Geor-
gia. He charged Senator Hoke
Smith, Thomas Watson and Thomas
Hardwick "have put the genius of
their lives into the task of prevent
ing voting by negroes"
"There was a Georgia negro who
dared to vote openly for Benjamin
Harrison in 1885," said Johnson,
"and that man hasn't been heard
from since"
! He declared there has been a
great exodus of negroes from Geor-
gia because ow lynchings and that
congress should make lynching a
federal offense.
"That will be done," promised
Senator Kenyon.
"T have seen democrats buy votes
in Atlanta at SIS a head and nobody
say a word about it," Johnson as
serted.

ST. PETER, AN ANGEL
IS HERE ON EARTH
THE WORLDS MOST SANITY
MAN HAS BEEN FOUND RIGHT
HERE IN GEORGIA.

ATLANTA.-Wi the front rank
of angels please arise and smite
their golden Tyres a mighty wallop!
For the worlds most sanity man has
been found. At least if he isn't the
most sanity he has little competition
excepting on high.
The old world with its speed and
it's broad-mindednes may wag mer-
rily on. but it doesn't wag everybody
with it. The street corner roue who
boasts of his minor and major wick
edness has been invited to a seat
nearer to the exits-while Uncle
Jimmy Hutchins, telephone-booked
and directoried as James w. Hutch
ms. recites an opposing history.
The thing which reminded Uncle
Jimmy of his own record was-a re-
cent press account of a north Geor-
gian aged 60 who had never been in
a theater. which, according to the
Forthcoming proof, is a life of dissi-
patton and debauch beside the record
of Mr.. HutchlnS.
A List Of Nots.
Uncle Jimmy has lived 73 years
happily. he avows, which is some
thing in itself. But that's not the
point.
In those IS years Hutchins-
Has never been in a theater.
Has never been in a moving pic
ture show.
Has never used tobacco in any
form.
Has never used profanity.
Has never played cards,
Has never been intoxicated, and
Has never consumed any of the
muItitudinous soft drinks that are at
the crest of their popularity. Sew,
enty-three years have sped by and
he's never tasted coffee or tea. He
went to one baseball game fifty years
ago, but that was when Babe Ruth's
clouts would have been singles and
when umpires were considered hu-
man beings.
