Early in the present month, an H editorial note in these columns called attention to H the sacrifices made by Archbishop Harty, who lit-H lit-H er.diy stripped himself of everything, so that. like.

In tiie same issue J of this paper (Jan. 9) appeared an editorial in I answer to a Butte correspondent, pointing out the probability of the friars expending the money received re-ceived from the government to build up the Church and win more souls in the field of their past labors. 4 Tohu Sharp Williams of Mississippi, the LVnio-I LVnio-I cratic leader in the house of representatives, said of Speaker Cannon the other day. after expressing confidence in the fairness of any postal investiga-( investiga-( tion committee he might appoint : "If he had a dis-I dis-I honest bone in his body he might be worth $2,000,-; $2,000,-; (XXI today."

Out west we have a I species who occupy the middle ground between the crank and the absolutely insane. Wc point j themout as people who are "nutty." This mayor ! of Severance. Kan., is one of the species, probably hypnotized by some short-haired and middle-aged spinster. Not long ago the nutty mayor issued a proclamation declaring that during ' leap year "every bachelor in Severance must accept any of- ! j fer of marriage made him by any unmarried lady in the city or give a good and sufficient reason for j his refusal.'' And with another flourish of mini- ! net... be declares that, "any bachelor violating the j provisions of thi? proclamation will be considered j an improper person to inhabit the city of Sever-ance Sever-ance and steps will be taken to deprive him ol bis citizenship."' We hardly reckoned on the leap year humbug reaching such a state of idiocy. But anything any-thing is liable to happen in a state where women strive to grOW whiskers, preach politics and tolu I hatchets. |
