the city election last Monday. If
there are any boot-leggers m this
city we don't know them, and as for
thugs, up to the present time we
have been unable to locate any of
this class of humanity. We don't
think that any one should say
that it was controlled by thugs and
boot-leggers. It is an injustice to
our better class of citizens.
There are too many people who
always tell other people what they
should do to be better, but don't

same things themselves to be better.
