Show !i!S REPLIES TO JONES' PERSONAL ATTACK Editor Standard: Miles L. Jones, whom I helped to elect as city commissioner, has been quoted as referring to me. in an uncomplimentary uncom-plimentary manner in connection with the formation of the Taxpayers' league. Instead of pondering my alleged imperfections, im-perfections, Sir. Jones would do well to keep to his pantomimes, or else devote his whole attention to the coal famine, which still endures, and, lnci-dentally, lnci-dentally, let the public know whether coal weights are as correct today as they were about a year ago, when the fact was published that the weights were short, but the names ot the horl-weight horl-weight artists were withheld Since the coal question still Is a vi tal issue, will Mr. Jones revert to the weighing of that time and explain why the names were withheld? The public wants to know. In the empty Whiskey I'lask a fes tlve serlalist also has been making free with the names of the promoters of the Taxpayers' league That Individual Indi-vidual also would do well to keep to his pantomimes, else he will find himself him-self under the spotlight This judicial, judi-cial, loutish Sampson (referring to Romeo and Juliet), ill mannered servant serv-ant to the peevish Capulet, who, in his bout with Gregory, shows himself a weak slave," boasts himself a tyrant among vvonien and "bites his thumb' at men. onlv to deny it when challenged, chal-lenged, swallowing the lie direct Kbt from the anvil, Bneakingly playing the rob- of the anonymous coward. .-Miring up civic strife by pcurrllous whispering whis-pering to gratify his cankered envy, and slinks away to hide himself while the Capulets and Montagues decide the fray and brave the fury of the Prince. This court knave is, as he boasts, like the lady-killing Jack Fal-staff Fal-staff in the play, "a pretty piece of flesh," a 'heartless hind," whose name, pronounced and identified, would cause the public to "hiss him in scorn." In eonelusion. I voice the hope and the general prediction that the Whiskey Whis-key Flask will "bust" and dissolve about the first of August. (Signed ) R. A. NORMS. |
