TOWN TICKET SUGGESTED!
Following is a list of men for the
town council, who will do things, and
do them right:
For Mayor: J. S. Bromfield.
For aldermep: E. W. Blythe, C.
H. Klueppelberg, Henry Ranson,
'3rady Kilpatrick, Clyde Ashworth.
A VOTER.
ANOTHER SUGGESTED TICKET:
drinking produce a state of mind
that says, /'What is the law to us?
We shall obey it or not as we please**,
it needs no aiggument to prove that
these classes are enemies to society.
They are in the class with Debs, and
Tucker, who refusing to obey laws of
which they disapproved, were sen
tenced to the penitentiary.
Even those who think their person
al rights invaded by the Volstead
law, must hesitate to admit that per
sonal dislike for a law, excuses one
frdm obeying it.
No one can suppose himself at lib
erty to pick and choose which laws
he will keep and which he will break,
without Blowing the same right to
everyone else.
It is not logical to think a man “a
irood fellow” when he sells whiskey,
and a “black guard” when he picks a
poclict. To be sure the effect upon
the other fellow is different, but the

LOSS TO THE r:EWS OFFICE
The force of The News feels a per-
Borial lojs the dciith of F. S. Star-

ahvays felt to be one of us. We

His last stick of type has been set;

His place will be hard to fill, for

hearts.
The childi’en dcr.rly loved Mr. Star-
rctte and ail men respected him.

odditier, or at riij quaint earnestness;
but they a!! roc'o^nized in him some

in the interests of its enemies?”
If you are right in your “cold state-
