JUDGE THARP'S ATTACK
Just for mere pastime suppose
we analyze some of the statements
contained in Judge Tharp’s spiel
published in today’s paper, in
which the astute judge no doubt
•thinks he has said some very
wonderful things and chewed up
the “Mr. 2x4” in great shape.
To begin with, the judge says
Ae don’t like notoriety and don’t
want auy. But he turns right
aroundand knocks all the truth out
•of this statement by rushing into
print with a lot of assertions cal
culated to prolong a newspaper
discussion in which he is the cen
tral figure and in which, even if it
should continue alt summer, could
not possibly result in any satis
factory explanation of the matter
tie is trying to dodge. The judge
thinks he is an artful dodger, but
lie wiil never be able to dodge the
fact that he has kept his office in
the same building with a blind
tiger. If the judge has never
thought about it, The Journal
will inform him that a cold blood
ed fact like this is a hard thing for
a man to dodge.
And then the judge says, in
effect, that lie would rather be a
roust-about in a blind tiger than
be the editor of a 2x4 newspaper.
Well, of course, The Journal does
not blame the judge for that—its
only a matter of individual pre
ference, you know. We have seen
things, a certain kind of bugs of a
peculiar odor, for instance, that
prefered to dive head foremost in
to surroundings that looked very
■uninviting and work away, cheer
fully and contented, when perhaps
■not ten feet away other bugs were
gathering the sweetest of honey
from the most fragrant flowers
■that grow. But do ydu suppose
the rose felt slighted 2 We hardly
think so, and neither do we think
the newspaper profession has lost
any of its luster, nor life any of
/ts §harrj}s by the judge’s choice of j
ah occupation.
INOW we wonuei u. uiu juu^o
actually thinks wo are sorry we!
•ever .published his name in our
*‘littie sheet?” Sorry? Why if
we just had our Cartoonist Brid
well back on The Journal so we
could properly illust rate the
judge's stunts, we would get them
out in comic supplement form and
Steep the thing going all summer.
It would put the Katzenjamer
Kids, Maud, Happy Hooligan and
4he other comic supplement fea
tures out of business in no time.
But, to be more serious and get
down to the real point at issue,

.you will notice the judge denies
having kept his hat in a blind
tiger. lie won't deny, however,
j that he has kept his office in a
j blind tiger. But to dodge the
! question he asks what we would
do if he should call on us to prove
the charge. Well, the judge just
, ought to try us and see what wrc
would do. In the first place it is
a self-evident fact that he has kept
his office in the same building
where a blind tiger was being run,
and needs no proof. The general
public knows this to be a fact,
therefore no proof is necessary.
But if the judge thinks it will add
any to his dignity we will say for
his benefit that we happen to have
in our possession a certificate from
the clerk of the circuitcourt show
ing that the parties who conducted
a so-called cold drink stand in the
building where he kept his office
were arraigned before the said
court at its last term on a total of
twenty-five seperate indictments
for violations of the liquor laws.
To a number of these indictments
the defendants plead guilty and
were fined. Four of the indict
ments were nolle pressed and the
remainder were continued and will
doubtles come up at the approach
ing April term of the circuit court.
Now, if Judge Tharp demands it.
The Journal will publish this doc
ument together with the affidavit
of a number of good citizens that
the judge kept his office in the
same building where these parties
operated their so called cold drink

stand, or blind tiger. Now if the
judge wants us to prove the charge
we are ready.
As to what The Journal has
done toward tiger busting, we are
frank to confess that we have done
but very little, but we have at
i least had the self respect to keep
our office out of one.
And as to the judge’s insinua
tions about “turning on the
| light” and allowing the public to
: “examine the minutes of our jour
; ney through dreamland,’’ The
! Journal will say that if Judge
Tharp can show anything of any
| character whatever derogatory to
the editor of The Journal since we
have be a citizen of Newark, or
any other time, he is more than
welcome to do it and we defy him
! to do it. Now let the judge un
burden himself if he is loaded.
