NINETY-EIGHTH YEAR (ESTABLISHED 1853)
Well, now our local ministers
can come out of the wood? and
preach other ai;ti-gaming sermons.
We see by the daily print of every-
thing that a certain Galveston
Episcopal rector is telling the
rollers of cubic dominoes and
shufflers of kin#* and queens that
if Mr. John Law don't go in after
them, he (the minister) is.
In our rate book, we are nomi-
nating Gaylord Mauser for herd
boss, when it comes to over-
charging six little words with
vitamins, calories and unadulter-
ated altruism as he advise- read-
ers of his book "to fall in love
with life."
If you are now exhausting your
little brain waves trying to figger
out just why we tarted the above
reaction, we are entirely willing
to save you all of that over-load
of labor by telling you that the
performance of a certain duty,
the nature of which we are not
telling you, caused us to be in

the liberty of passing it on to
our readers.
Of course, no one can justify
and substantiate like a lawyer.
He can vehemently shake his head
off standing before a judge tell-
ing him why Lyndon B. Johnson
shouldn't be on the ballot—be-
cause there are certain allegations
of vote fraud.
THEN MONTHS later vehem-

before judges that J. E. McDonald
should be on the democratic ballot
when nearly everybody who has
rubbed shoulders with working
politics knows McDonald is more
Republican than Democrat.

It shouldn't make any differ-
ence with anyone what party a
man pledges his troth to. But it
is important to know when deal-

professional newspaperman, we
want to know what paper he
represents.
