The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1907-09-27

Il guire), THE Executive Council, and
William Mallett Maupin, the Most
Worshipped Secretary of the Benevo-
lent Order of Zoos Coos meaning vi
pers, Buzzards and other geological
specimens), continue their unseemly
controversy in matter calculated to
bring great humiliation and discredit
and lack of Harmony to the loyal
Vipers and Buzzards.
Most Worshipped President George
Wilnot Harris seems to have got cold
feet and fails to put forth any effort to
restore Harmony (see l.. c. 81 to
these officials of the Benevolent Or
der.
As the Senior Benevolent Viper, we
demand that the Most Worshipped
President George Wilnot Harris at
once restore Harmony Failure to
comply with this demand, and within
reasonable time, will be construed
as contumacious neglect of duty, and
his. Office will be vacated.
AS an Associate Benevolent Buzz
ard, we demand that the Most Wor-
! shipped Secretary instantly retract,
withdraw, skin back and apologize for
his reference to us two weeks ago
in the same paragraph in which he
spoke of near-vipers. Failure to do
SO will work forfeiture of his author
ity to collect per capita tax. This is
to the end that Harmony may be re-
stored.
AS the Passed Zoos, we demand
that THE Executive Council back up
! on it's attempt to grab the per capita
tax and other perquisites and do a
little viping and buzzing against the
common enemy, and thereby restore
Harmony. Failure to Immediately
comply with this demand will auto
matically operate in the declaring
dark" of THE Executive Council, for
the purpose of restoring Harmony.

and until he RENTS he will have to
do his viping all by himself. The
Most Worshipped Secretary. which is

Shelby Poo-bah Smith, although
Smith has no apology coming. The
