Kentucky Irish American. (Louisville, Ky.) 1898-1968, 1920-09-04

the colored Republicans who were
not allowed in Fontaine Ferry Park
on the other Republican outing. Not
TO be outdone by their white Repub-
lican brothers, II is said the col
| ored young men have organized a
J Chesley Club, patterned after the
ChesIey Club of the young white Re-
publicans, and many predict that
there will be great rivalry between
the two clubs from both political
and social standpoint So that none
of the guests will feel sighted the
colored committee of arrangements
have served notice on the local ma
chine that every white office holder
and leader from "Howdy Ed" Nor
row down to Constable must be
present next Wednesday. 1t is not
stated Just how far the white Re-
publicans will have to go in mixing
with their colored brothers and sis
i tiers, but is is supposed that after
lunching together the colored Ches-
ley Club will see to II that their
white brothers will have colored
bellies to dance with to the joyous
tunes of the Harding Jazz" the
Roscoe Simmons Glide" and the
"Crap Shooters Fox Trot." II will
sure be gala day for the colored
brothers and sisters and their white
Republican brothers, and 1t will
make up for the snub given at Fon-
tame Ferry Park.
Pity the attitude of near Mayor
Smith on the street car fare raise
question. Smith had promised the
company that after a four months
trial he would be ready to announce
L. okk It'd AA.
when the company applies for an
an oyster. The reason Is that the
administration bosses care nothing
whatever about the merits of the
street car fare question, but are
viewing IL as a political question
and how a decision would affect the
Hert- Chiffon machine. How
Telephone Company wanted to raise
rates. The near Mayor, the City
Attorney and all took a hand in try
ing to explain why the Home Phone
Company should be allowed to
gouge the public The Kentucky
Irish American was the only paper
In Louisville, daily or weekly, that
fought or even mentioned the pro-
posed gouge. Incidentally Council
man Nick Denunzio, who attended
the meeting of the Allied Public
Service League the other night to
denounce the proposed car fare
raise, voted to give the Home Tele- |
phone Company its increase, and
during the reading of the ordinance |
Councilman Nick, who claims to be |
fighting the battles of the people,
was sound asleep.
1t is now up to Chief of Police |
Petty to warn his keystone police |
against the wicked mule whisky they |
seem to be going against now. Last |
Sunday after trying playfully to club |
a few newsboys Patrolman Cook, |
with the assistance. of a friendly tel
ephone pole, held forth at Sixth and |
Kentucky. Filled to the brim WITH
white mule whisky" he essayed to
play the role of the devil and tried |
to persuade the hundreds of men |
and women passing that corner that
they must not go to church, and that |
he was very much opposed to their |
going. Some of the passers-by re-
sented his remarks and reported to |
Keystone headquarters that a
drunken cop in uniform was on a |
rampage. In the next reel as they |
say in the movies, and reel is APP
propriate, as our hero was Keeling
by this time, we find him at Sew
enth and Market. but the white
mule" has developed a kick like
Maud and the drunken policeman
is picked from the gutter,
where he decided to take a little |
nap. Col. Petty might have Prof.
Ragsdale lecture at the next meet
ing of the school on the dangers of
white mule, as our comedy police
can't stand the pace. This past week
in the East End neighbors saw
brother Keystoners helping a victim
of white mule to get home from
roll call. By the way, that was a
good joke the keystone Police de-
partment played in sending police
man to investigate the $4,000 dia-
mond robbery. A policeman was
sent that had been on the force Just
three days. This lies between As
sistant Chief Jimmy Carroll and
Captain Jimmy Cunningham.
