TO.LULIH—Ml. Ul—
There is one thing about ball games
that is disagreeable. The excitement of
the game calls for personal remarks by
not only the players but ttyir partisans
as well. This leads to bitter feeling and
consequent trouble, all of which could
be avoided by gentlemanly behavior.
The people who go to enjoy a ball game
do not care to be entertained by rag
chewing and rowdyism, and it certainly
ought to be avoided.
It is a difficult matter for the average
man to keep track of the “tricks” and
“schemes” of the professional grafter.
We have all been taught that it is our
duty to be lawabiding citizens, and we
should, but when laavs are enacted by
professional grafters for the purpose of
oppressing tne people, the people should
have a voice in the matter as to whether
they should be compelled to submit to
those laws or not. We maintain that the
principal of referring proposed legisla- '
tion to the people for their approval is
right, and it should be provided for in
framing the constitution of our state.
Those who are Opposed to this item fil-
tering into the constitution are untiring
in their efforts to keep it out, for reasons
that,can only be explained by using the
word “graft,” Therefore we insist that
candidates for constitutional convention
honors should make their position on this
question known to the people.
Let the Women do the Work
Is a mighty good motto
but get them good fresh
groceries^ and firstclass
merchandise to do with
before asking threm to
do it. New stuff here
Every Day.
