ment: "The time from Chicago to

Here -ind there may be found an

he thinks, the proper thing to do is
to fawn at the feet of every official,
from dog-catcher to president; and
that as soon as one passes out he
must pummel the out going official
in order to placate the person who
takes the place. The official who de-
sires this sort of work Isn't worth
the fawning; and the editor who re-
sorts to it is a cheap guy, and dear
at any price.—Waukomis Hornet.
