Every one seems little short OF
fuel but long on colds.
The Flu, Grip, ETC., are playing
havoc with our school attendance al
this time
Out of four, mere was Only one
regular teacher at the school the
first of last week, but all four are
now on the job.
We are certainly fed up on the
frantic, frenzied lamentations of the
friends OF the late Mr.. Booze. One
would think the dryness of Dives
prevailed.
Any so called Christian man thai
stands for the return Of the licensed
saloon is one of three things, namely
a fool, knaVe or nut. All this
stuff about states rights, personal
liberty and similar catchy phrases
is simply rot of the arnkest sort.
Mrs. George Todd has been ex-
tremely i'll for a week or ten days
with double pneum onia from Flu
but we are glad to report, is much
better at this writing.
Miss Julia Moore of Hurlock, a
senior student in the Towson Nor
NAL, who had exchanged places with
our frst-assistant, Mrs. Cora Mur-
ply, completed her work here last
Friday. Mrs. Murphy was back, at
her regular work Monday morning
and received a very warm welcome
from both teachers and pupils.
How about that delegation of spell
binders from Annapolis that went
over to West Virginia? The spect-

would make monkey laugh.
How many people know today,
from the big, City dailies that thirty

while the same sheelS for which the
whiskey and has been such a profile
source of revenue, are eternally har-
ing in the faces of honest and decent
folks the name of one Edwards. We

twenty-five consecutive years-always
reserving the right to vote for re-
publican friend when we chose to
do so and to cut rascal off our tie
ket when We knew he was on--but
We would not vote for Il man like
Edwards of New Jersey for road
supervisor much less president Of the
good Did T. S. A. When ever the
Democratic party puts up a man of
that stripe for that high oftice-we
can't believe il will ever be guilty OF
such folly, or adopts wet plank in
its national platform. it will go rid
in gto the greatest Waterloo any
political party ever had, and that's
no joke.
N,----..ln Jennings certainly handl-
ed the old rum-soakcd New York
World without gloves. 1t is pity
the whole Pulitzer bunch could not
be deported. Their proper share
would seem to be in the heart Of
Russit. A whiskev ad with that
crowd counts more than immortal
soul. They worship at the shrine OF
the Golden Calf, and no matter te
them if the women and children hare
been pilfered. to make their God.
