Show Now that E. D. D. Thompson and W. J. " Lynch and A. L. Thomas have been given something some-thing luscious out of Brother Smoot's political vintage, and Brother Spry and Brother Thomas 'Ull have each received the just reward of the faithful, it is a melancholy thing to note that James H. Anderson, who of. all these is the greatest, great-est, has been left without reward for his valor of last year. It was always the Fussy's proud boast that he was the original discoverer of Smoot, ana later the discoverer of Cutler the Sad, a much more difllcult task, and now that everything he started out to achieve has been accomplished, this creator of political puppets has been brushed aside, just as a certain man named Bismarck was discarded by a certain fierce looking kaiser. It is all very pathetic. Of course it cannot be denied that the retirement is a good thing for the city, the county and the state, but still there can be no commendation of the base ingratitude of the two men who are now basking in the reflected light of the Fussy's political genius. |
