Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 89, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 February 1911 — WHY SO TOUCHY? [ARTICLE]

WHY SO TOUCHY?

Xow The Democrat said nothing about any Rensselaer editors being addicted to the poker -playing habit. But rumor has it that a certain editor in Jasper countv was in quite a serious condition and for several days his brow was covered with icicles when he learned that the grand jury wa s looking into alleged poker playing a little. His circulation got better immediately on adjournment of that body, however, and he will once more wave his arms and bombastically condemn gambling as a sin in which only democrats indulge. 1
