one who knew what he was talking about
some. who become famous, encircle
themselves with their OWN egotism, but
they can't always bring the public into
that circle. because the public sees the
sham.
i am but little in the political world.
and I expect but little. CHOoray) I am
merely man striving for the best in
terests of the country. And If I can do
anything for the good of the country 7
shall put my shoulder to the wheel with
any other man. and hope that the COM
munity may be the better for it.
The Grillers sang an ode TO Judge D.

Paranoia in High Places.
Il don't know that it is desirable TO
open the books at ALL said Judge Her
rick. when the ravishing beefsteak har-
monies had died down. Not long ago
Alr Hartman opened them a little way
and We see what a sensation resulted in
Washington. further opening would
mean more paranoia in high places. For
as the tailless parrot said 10 the one
/ eyed monkey in their famous interview
We're having a he'll of a time, aren [
Weg I have read the Bible and I know
/ that it says all men are liars. We know
of one man that says they are very often,
and perhaps he says this because he has
so many around him. But these brain
storms IN high places are demoralzng.
/ They are an unfortunate reflection not
only on the people. but ou those the peo-
/ pie put in high position to rule them.
/ Therefore perhaps it is not well to discuss
/ them too deeply
President Is ImDersOnRted.
Judge Herrick concluded by urging that
the people return to the old principles
to oppose Capitalization because it de-
stroys individuallsm, and declaring that
the time has come TO rally to those
things that make for all that is best in
man-that causes man TO make the best
/ of the gifts which God has given him.
President Roosevelt was impersonated
/ al various times by James Gilroy, and
/ he led in human Teddy bear on occa-
sions that stood around holding a big
stick. while Mr.. GilrOy and the toast
master INDUCED in sidewalk converse
/ ton wheezes about the news of the day,
/ Gov Odell was tried by a mock court on
! the charge of being a Mollycoddle, and
/ sentenced to become the leader of the
( Republican party.
