You can npt talk war- yqu cannot
tallj politics with thepi. Religion is
another, tabooed subject.
Now I think it is iip to the girl tg
give a fellow some sort of ah idea
what interests her. Will some njod
est girl please tell us modest feliowp
what they want? I am not college
bred andj therefpre, cannot meet a
girl with the higher education, stiil
w I possess enough common sense tp
read bet'ter stuff than modern fiction.
I like to meet a girl wlo works for
her living, and wants more than
merely company for shows. Most
girls, ever the modest ones, care riot
for company except to have a ggid
time. A Crltjc. ..
TO JACK MINOR. After reading
your letter of the 17th inst I -would
Jike to quote spme of your Remarks.
You say: ''The kaisr has sure made
gQod pn his proposition tq wbjp
George's ships. A little $300,000 sub
marine goes out before breakfast
and captures a $6,000,000 battle
ship." -Will you please tell me why, if the
British navy has been licked, the kai
ser does npt come out on the pceans
and get the, food which you say he
1 is able to pay for? Why are some of
his finest 'boats, gathering barnacles
in N. Y., Boston' and Philadelphia?
And say, Minor, will you please tell
me the name 'of that $6,000,000 bat
tleship that was captured by a sub
marine. In another jrart of your letter yon
make the following statement, "Dp
you stop to think that up to fpujr
years ago our country was. guided by
the vim and vigor of the north and
the Methodist "church. Under Wil
son we have the aristqcrapy pf the
j south and the church of Rome in
power."
I would like to inform you righ.t
here that the Methodist church has
nothing to do with '"guiding'1 our
government In this country churph
and state are separate, and that in
cludes Methodists as well as all oth-1
er denominations. If yqu knew any
thing about the south at all you
would not be guilty of such assininity
'as coupling the-Catholic church and
the southern aristocracy.
The south is overwhelmingly Prot
estant It is in Georgia that the
Tom Watspn type flourishes, and
Florida elected a governor in the last
election on an anti-Catholic plat
form. So you are wrong, Minprj old
b.oy, when 'you try to join the south
with the Catholic church. Jack
Doyle.
WHO PAYS THE BILL? The re
gistration, of March 13 was estimated
to have cost $15 a vpte. -Ballot boxes
and booths were delivered by" wagon
at the last primary election and on
March 14' pqllected agajn, ajid most
pertainjy they wijl be brought back,
again for the election of April 3. I
suppose the innocent taxpayer foots
all the express bills? J. V. p.
AGAINST SEGREGATION. Down,
with the segregation hug. Those who
wapt a. district say that vice is now
scatterei. Yes, snd it was, ten times
morasp when there was a legal head
quarters for it to spread from. It has
existed as long as written histqry,
therefore always will they say and
take that as justification for legaliz
ing if. Murder has exited that long;
too, so wp should have a segregated
district for murder. WeeJs always
grew in gardens, so let each gardener
pet aside a patch where the weeds
may grow at will that they may leave
the rest alone.
Instead of being a protection tp
good girls, the vice district only fur
nishes a market wljere many of them
may be sold, gives the incentive tp
abduction and becomes the head
quarters of the white slave, traffic,
which it protects along with booze
and most other kinds tit crime. I have
hunted long lor an argument which
mjght even appear sound for segre
gation, but have npt found one.
There are none! He who is for it is
