Dear Old htiq: Perhaps you know and
otherwise you will be tickled to learn that the
shortest cut to Dunning is the practice of writ
ing letters to the editor 1 have never before
done it, but nothing can halt me in this in
stance. I've got something to say
You column is the best in town and the
only way that statement can be transformed
into a compliment is to say that your column
Is ONE MILE better than any other in this
municipal mud hole. This O'Connorized town
needs it desperately.
Butt read you rather regularly and yet
never-until a day or two ago-knew that YOU
whom had come to regard a skull worth
knowing, Woodrow Wilson bruiser
The people who yell tand this civic sewer is
tEronged with them hate Woodrow. The peo-
pie who think either marvel at him, wonder at
him or are patient about him, conscious that
his trials were great and his accomplishments
good or bad-entirely thwarted by such neu-
rotic pinheads as Lodge. In a word, William
Howard Taft was staggered by Woodrow's abil-
ity while Borah cursed him. Dulcy Harding

Woodrow 1 have interviewed many times in

self and your appreciative readers who like
myself, hate to find hornet in the honey.
If you don't like him or what he stands
about him again BY that time for one will
be pleased to read what you say
This is lot of trouble I'm taking, kid and
although the pay may be small at least the
hours are pleasant-now that we are to get a
Whit at a, new and 1 hope a better year To
make up for your patience I'll send you con-
tribution In day or two which may even
crowd out the Congressional dialog-which,
incidentally, is unfailingly funny. EDDIE.

There came very near being a small
cbnfagration on Thursday night, when
some one discovered a fire in Harry
NeSsexs smOke-houSe, which is in the
rear of his meat market, and it being a
wooden building. had it not been dicov-
cred when it was. there would have been
heavy confagration, but by the aid of
some water it was put out
