Some of them may carry the warning— “there's a chief among ye taking’ notes.” But I have noticed an appalling indifference to public opinion among the legislators after the second week. It takes just about that long to develop the “public be dam med” spirit.

No one has done it, so here it is—Kits Reid seconds the motion. Lets get it started. Was Superior to Any Other MONDAY JANUARY 21 1929 Store In Deeade. If you have not bought your ticket for the Spanish-American War Veterans' dance on Monday evening. January 21, at Hibernia Hall, 340 Russell St., you are asked to do so at once, for the tickets are selling fast, for everybody is going. The blind, lame and crippled will be there to see Serg Joe White and his comrades strut their stuff! But. if you cannot go, buy a ticket, and that will help the Veterans outfit themselves in the sort of uniform that will make all of our Group swell up with pride. Tex Rickard, who was a mighty power in the sporting world, and a “square- shooter” to the white prize fighter, but a prejudicial enemy to the Colored men, is dead. And we hardly think that the many sporting men of our Group and the fair minded white people will shed any tears over his passing, regardless of the old custom to say nothing evil of the dead. The following from “The Bystander" of Des Moines, reflects the sentiments of many about Mr. Rickard: “T ex” Rickard is dead! As a pro moter of sporting events he was far superior to any other living man. He rose from rather meagre circumstances ERIC V.
