An IMPENDING REVOLT.

Some day there going to be a terrible
revolt in this country against the boiled
shirt. We are not going to wear boards
on our bosoms surmOunted by picket
fences when the laundryman feels cross
and cuts a saw-edge on our collars
American manhood is going to rise in
it's might some day and carefully drop
the starched shirt over into the next
lot where the tin cans are. Today we
haven't the nerve to do it. We are IN
der the domination Of social and COM
merciaI propriety to such an extent that
we do not dare to arise and proclaim
our freedom in the name OF liberty Of
person and freedom of conscience. Some
day we will wear soft shirts and flow
ing collars. and the man who wears a
starched board on his bosom and a
sheet iron ring around his neck will be
known for the concefted and artificial
ass that he really is.-Minneapolis Jour-
