WOULDN'T IT MAKE YOU HAD?
It was U. S. Senator Jeff Davis that
t ok up the time of the senate the other
day Id yelling about the "subsidized
press. ' Senator Jeff has Rood reason
to dislike the newspapers. They report
things before the public that it would
make any man angry to see In print.
For instance this from the Ketchikan
Miner:
U. S. Senntor Jeff Davis, o' Arkansas,
when at home reoentiy for a vacation,
while at Little Rock, indulged In the
dignified pistime of a fisticuff with a
deDuty prosecutor, by whom he was
severely beaten up. Following that
little occurrence he went on a tour of
the street, gun in hind, searching for
the aforesaid prosecutor, whom he pro
mised to shoot on sight, and for which
little pleasantry on his part he was ar
rested u^id lined twenty-five dollars,
Tae pleasure of walloping the.U. S.
>enator d'd not cost the official who did
the job half as much, which goes to
show that the minor ccurts of Arkansas
are not especially impressed with undue
respect for the senatorial toga when
worn by a member of the senate who
descends to the level of a low down,
everyday blackguard.
THE NEW D0U6LAS
Now that the spring election is over,
the miners' strike has settled down to
the discontented grumblings of a few
score of men, and spring is here with
its sunshine and flowers. Douglas
should begin to take on new life. To
do this It will be necessary that those
who hive heretofore entertained the
Idea that it was all up with the town,
to abandon the idea and to do their
share toward the forward movement.
Ifeveryboly will take hold and help
push, the car of progress will run rap
idly acd smoothly. Those who refuse
to work, when work is plentiful, should
be given to understand that they will
not be allowed to remaia a burden on
the community. Let there be no drones
In the hive,
Douglas is not dead by any means.
The houses are well filled with tenants
and there is a constant demand for more
and especially for furnished apartm6nts
fur housekeeping purposes. While a
general era of had times is on In the
states, Douglas island is not affected.
Wages here are just the same as ever,
and the cost of living is becomiog less.
There Is 1.0 reason under the sun why
we should not have here a happy and at
the same lime a most prosperous com"
munity.? Douglas News.

"Praying."
"Well, your prayer might have more
effect If you took pff that silk hat"? ?
