Fifteen Cents Sirs: You will find 15? in stamps attached to this note. Please mail a copy of TIME containing The Voter's Dream to the Rev. Dr. John Cockroach Straton. Your cartoon will enable him to see himself as every intelligent person has seen him for years. On second thought, I am attaching another 15? for the benefit of Wm. E. Vare, the "Senator-suspect."

The most rabid anti-salooner would find it hard to vilify a lawbreaker who went shrieking to death with poison scourging his entrails. Last week an epidemic of poison liquor deaths struck Manhattan.

As traditionally gun-shy as the individual is who can afford fifty dollars for an hour's entertainment, the "con" men, the street-corner shysters, the alley speculators find him feeble when excluded by a Stadium wall. A trite fiction hoods a pillar of State Street. A hurried phrase woos a yellow back from a bond salesman. The racket flourishes as the bay tree...
