THIS PECULIAR COUNTRY

On the outside of saloon the word
"beer" has to be covered up with paint
or a strip of weather boarding. And
on the inside of restaurant the word
liquor has to be covered up with a
napkin, high-sign and a tip to The
head waiter.
All exchanges of alcohol are sup
posed to be covered up by the Eigh-
teenth Amendment. Those that are
not either sub rosa or sub raisin.
On the stage man can pretend to
be drinking whiskey and be drinking
tea. In actual life man can pre-
tend to be drinking tea and be drink
ing whiskey.
Men who are used to spending most
of their spare time away from home,
now spend it in the cellar. Men who
used to "have something" to put them
in a cheerful frame of mind, now
can't think of anything worth being
cheerful about.
The saloonkeeper was once regard
ed as belonging to the lower classes.
The bootlegger is now associated with
the elite.
Of course, folks who never had it,
never miss it. Exactly the same re-
mark can be made about taking a
bath. Those who have never had it,
never miss it. However, that has
never been taken to mean that baths
should be abolished.
All of which proves that this is a
peculiar country.

eral days last week in Washington

ever possible. AS a result of the
conference new plas for cutting down
the number of these dangerous eros

The letter follows:

DO you expect me to let this hideous
slander 70 unpunished? I'll publish

YOU seem to be and as you expect
me to be. II there are any such

there are, who make such statements,
hey have been paid to do It, and
they shall go to the penitentiary
along with those who hired them.
This Is a clumsy conspiracy

Why did 1t come up in Atlanta right
II this time. In fact, just in time to
stop your coming to Reno for our
wedding on the goth? Why does II
come up In Atlanta at all, except that
II is distant from my home and
friends and where 1t will be harder
Tor me to meet perjury and hired

You must divulge the name Of

Besides. you are a Christian gen
tleman. As a Christian gentleman,
as man Of honor, can you treat a
helpless woman this way? You know
l have not a single male relative in
the world. I am not appealing to you
as my promised husband and natural
protector, but just as a man. Are
you willing to see me treated this
way in your city. in your home, where
you are all.powerful? Oh! How can
you think for a minute that I ought
to accept this insult in silence and

Not quite five hundred years
ago Christopher Columbus was
born. This is Columbus
day" But not his birthday
probably. There is no certainty
about that. 1t is a day to re-
! mind young gentlemen that if
they work hard they may do
something better than they
could imagine.
Columbus was seeking a short
cut to India, in days when there
was no Suez Canal. When he
bumped into America, and went
back to be badly treated and
put in Jail, he considered his
life a failure, and died dis
appointed man.
:, This birthday also reminds US
that the boss, directing and
coercing, may be more useful
than he seems. Christopher
Columbus sailors wanted to
throw him overheard because he
persisted In his "dim and peril
Gus way"
When Columbus, landing en-
Cat Island, saw the brown
natives he thought he was in
India, and called them Indians.
We keep the name which is pre-
posterous.

TAMPA, June 19-Great benefit +o all the cities of Florida it is believed Will result from the organization hare ol the League of Municipalities, which was accomplished at banquet held at Fl Pasaje hotel following an aIl-dav open session at the city hall and a launch ride, during which 100 dele gates present viewed the new munich pal terminal improvements. Nineteen cities entered the organization as char ter members, but it is thought all Flor ida cities will eventually be included in the organization. A constitution and by laws were adopted.
 The purpose of the league is mutual assistance among city officials in solv- ing various municipal and civic uues- tons which may arise from time to time. The idea of the organization ori- ginated with City Manager Hall of Tampa, who formerly was city manag- CT of Jackson, Michigan.
