THE ALLIANCE HERALD, TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1921
FIVE
RANDOM SHOTS
Possibly our sense of humor Is dis
torted, but the following from the pen
of a Bryan admirer and printed in
W. J. B.'s Commoner, strikes us as one
of the richest bits we have come across
in years:
"1 hope and trust to the good Lord
above us all that some time yet in the
future Mr. Itryan will be elected to the
high office of president of the United
States; then with all the purity and
goodness that he possesses he will
cause this land of ours to be a heaven
on earth so to speak."
The writer's name was given as J.
H. Kentner of Texas. It's a case of a
longhorn drawing the long bow.
Mr. Bryan is, of course, unable to
prevent his admirers from thinking
these things about him; he car.not stop
them from writing and using the
United States mails, but really, he
isn't forced to print this sort of slush.
We move that the word "gladsome"
be stricken from the dictionaries.
There's no chance for a democrat to
be gladsome for at least four years.
We're looking for the editor oY the
Hyannis Tribune to be shot or run out
of town. This i9 what the brute printed,
and you may interpret it in any way
you like:
"The Tribune is unable this week to
authentically announce any wddings
for the near future but unlets all
signs fail in pleasant weather there
will be a large demand for baby cabs
in the springtime."
Senator Terry Reed is the sole and
only member of the senate committee
on employes, and every job hunter
must get Reed's endorsement or go
without a job. The State Journal says
he has special training for the place,
having been superintendent of the
swine exhibit at the last state fair.
A Community Coal Bin.
Too many people seem to have the
idea that the home of "ye editor" is a
sort of a Christmas tree and run on the
cafeteria style at that. We take this
means of informing them to the con
trary, for while we may be like "Santa
Clause," Christmas comes but once a
year. And while we like to be as ac
commodating as possible, we feel we
must draw the line somewhere and if
those persons need any more coal they
had better buy it for we believe we
are just good enough shot to cause
them to spend ome time in vainly re
gretting that they were not equipped
with sheet iron trousers. Ansley
Herald.
"Ole," the schoolma'am, says that
she can keep a secret, all right, but
the people she tells it to can't.
Says the Antioch News, speaking of
a subscriber who has paid up: "He
is an honored worker in the Odd Fel
lows lode and attends church when
more important household duties do
not demand his attention." Shucks,
we go to church that often.
Three of the boys in the composing
room swore o)f smoking this week, and
each agroed that the one who first
returnpd to the use of the noxious
weed should pay twrmty-five smacks
apiece to the other two. This morning
the youngest one fell from grace, but
he refuses to pay on the ground that
they didn't catch him at it. Now
they're shadowing him day ami night

One of the best stories of last week
is told on City Attorney Metz, who a
few weeks ago made a great hit as
manager, for Matiffiff, the Persian
mystic, at the Elks minstrel. When
Councilman Johnson ask Mr. Mctz his
opinion of the legality of the city
manager election, the city attorney put
on his legal air and said, with dignity
and emphasis: "Gentlemen, I'm not
prepared to say, without looking the
matter up further. OlVhand, I am of
the opinion it was perfectly legal.
However, I am frank in saying that it
will take, not days, but weeks to look
it up." And from a far corner of
the room came a voice, reminiscent
of the Elks ministrH: "He never fails!
He never fails!"

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Box Butte county fair
association was held in the city hall
Saturday night. A large number were
present. The secretary gave a report
of receipts and expenditures for the
last year which showed all the lots
ami twenty-nine shares of stock so'd,
and an indebtedness of $039, the bal-
i ance due for lumber on new barns
! built last June for the races. The

Gladstone Spencer, an Alliance
outh, drew a fine of $'.() and costs in
county court yesterday morning,
Judge Tash assessed the maximuri
penalty when be pleaded iruilty to a
charge of intoxication. Following the
trial, Judue Tash informed him of his
rights under the prohibition enforce
ment laws of the state and to'd him
that if he would divulge the name of
the person from whom he had pur
chased the liquor, the fine would be
remitted. Young Spencer elected to
iay the fine.
Last Friday evening, at the basket
ball game, two or three young men
appeared at the hijrh school gymnas
ium in a state of hilarious intoxica
tion. Spencer was perhaps the worst
of the lot. He had hardly gained his
peat than he began to cut up, and his
efforts ended by his being ejected
from the building, after he had struck
Professor W. R. Pate, and damaged
the eye of W. E. Spencer, who was a
volunteer assistant in the ejection,
Barnes, the wrestler, assisted in get
ting him under control.
Spencer was arrested by Sheriff
Miller Sunday afternoon, and spent
