TRYING 1T ON THE DOG.

There are isms and isms. But
this particular ism you call Social
ism can manage to get its name in
the papers more often than any
other ism now on the market. For
generations back we, the peepul,
have been regaled with preach
ments on Socialism. 1t has been
held up before our wondering gaze
as the one certain cure for all our
social ills. 1t has ever been a
tempting bait. But we have been
slow to swallow the hook. It has
remained for Milwaukee to set us
an example. This American city
composed of foreigners has buck
led on her Socialistic skates, scoot-
ed out to a thin place and broke
the ice. She has elected Socialist
mayor, and we are at last to have
an object-lesson in Socialistic gov
ernment. From now henceforth
the eyes of America will be on
Mayor Seidel, what time the said
America isn't lodging automo-
biles and fying-machines.
Milwaukee is a funny town. She
is the town that made the brewery
business famous. Walk down the
business streets Of Milwaukee and
look at the business signs. You
cannot pronounce one name in ten
that you see. They are conglom-
Grafton of German and Dutch and
Swedish and Polish and Hindoo
and Arabian and thousand other
foreign languages that sound like
a cross between an able-bodied
cat-fight and one-legged sneeze.
In nearly all foreign countries
Socialism has made more headway
| than it has in America, and this
fact may account for the election
of Socialist mayor in Milwau-
kee, the foreign American city.
| | am not denouncing Mayor
iSeidel. His platform is gem OF
purest ray serene, and if he de-
livers half the reforms he has
promised he will be the coming
man of America and Milwaukee
will be different town.
i Seidel may remember his cam
paign pledges. He may deliver
the goods. At any rate, We shall
lsee what we shall see.

LIARS AND HYPOCglTES.


the present day were suddenly
jerked bald-headed and snatched
into Eternity, there wouldn't be
enough people left on earth to
hold an inquest over dead dog.
David said in bis haste that all
men were liars, and when he had
time to think it over he found
that he had hit the bull's-eye.
Jesus Christ was honest, and He
was not "a hypocrite, and you know
what the world did to Him. Well,
it would do the same thing to-day
to any man who might attempt to
live as Christ lived. We have
whole cow-pastures full of men
and women who call themselves
Christians and who claim to be
following in the footsteps of
Christ. But let me tell you-if
Christ should come back to earth
just as He used to be, these hypo-
critical Followers" of His would
be the first to yell, Cruelty
Himw They will get up in prayer
meeting and tell how they love the
Lord, and how they are looking
and longing for Him to come, and
if the Lord should suddenly make
His appearance in the heavens, in
power and great glory, it would
scare the last one of them to
death. -..-
Whenever these hypocritical
high-fyers of the gold-plated
Church of Mammon get to want
ing the Lord to come as bad as
they pretend to, they will quit
kangarooing around over the COM
munity telling lies on their neigh
bors and making fun of their
betters.
I believe in a man protesting
religion, and then living what be
processes. A religion that won't
keep a fellow out of devilment
in this world will be a poor de-
pendence in the world to come.
People these days get religion"
and join the church because it is
fashionable to do so, and they are
profaning the holy name of Christ
every time they do it. The man
who joins the church with no
other motive and for no other rea-
son than to BE in fashion, would
just as freely steal horse if horse
stealing were in fashion. Such a
man knows no more about the
saving grace of genuine Chris
tianity than a blind hog knows
about heaven. When the final
shake-up comes, and the sheep are
parted from the goats, / am afraid
lots of church letters will have to
be used as through tickets to hell.
Whoa, there, you old sanctified
gossip-wagon and prayer-meeting
sinner! You had better pin up
your robe Of profession with the
pins of practice. If you don't dc
it you will appear naked at that

Baltimore, Md, Apr. %, 10.
Editor "Fool-Killer,'
Moravian Falls, N. G.
Sir:
I had the misfortune to get hold of
one of your nasty, lying papers which
you call The Fool-Killer, and never
saw anything TO equal it for gall and
bitterness and lack of reason. The
name would be more appropriate if
you would just call it ''The Fool" If
charity begins at home, fool-killing
ought to begin there too. So advise
you to change ends with your spatter-
gun and let it go after the scalp Of
the blubbering fool that edits it.
am not Roman Catholic myself, but
have many good friends who are,
and warn you that you'd better not
print any more such abusive language
about the Pope and the Catholic
Church as you have been doing. Your
carcass may be in danger if you do.
If you had any sense you would know
that the Catholic Church is great
and good institution, and that nobody
but backwoods fools ever abuse it as
you are doing. Cut it out!
e. V. W.
Lord love duck! I wonder if
E. V. w. thinks he can scare me
with his near Catholic dope2 If he
does he is barking up the wrong
tree, sure. He is not Catholic,
he says, and yet he takes up for
the gang and gets as mad as a wet
hen because | dare to speak the
truth about the : great Who're
that sitteth upon many waters.'
Well, he can just scratch his mad
place. / shall go right on ripping
the sheep-skins off of the old Cath
olic wolves and pouring my red
hot remarks down their ungodly
goodies. The world has not for
gotten the time when the Catholic
church had political power, and
how she used it. And right this
minute she is fairly tearing her
shirt off trying TO regain her lost
political power. She is gaining in
this country at a fearful rate, and
when she gets control of our gov
ernment-then look out! This is
no idle dream. / have studied the
subject and | know what [ am
talking about. Old Plus and his
libertine priests have no desire to
bless the world spiritually. All
they want is to keep the people
blindfolded and to get for them
selves wealth and power.
E.~V. VS. defense of Roman
ism is no defense at all. It starts
out like it was going to set the
world on fire, but it soon dwindles
to squirrel track and runs up a
tree. And now if the Baltimore
Big Ike wants a real skinning, let
him shoot off his mouth Just one

hold he has upon the ueople is
wonderful. How did he get such a

doing things. None of Us approved
of all he did and the way they were
done. but even his political enemies
admired his boldness and his initia-
tive. 1t IS written deep in the blood
of the American people to love a man
of action. and that is why they love
Roosevelt. They look upon him
as a man they would like on some
occasions to cuss OUT soundly.

A friend Of ours. a member of the

never criticised the actions of the
previous council. His memory is
at fault. So seriously did the pre-
vious council take The Gazette S

per was unceremoniously kicked out
as clerk of that august body for no
other reason. according 10 the word
OF Certain members. And we feel
sure that history would repeat itself,
II this council were afforded the op-
portunity. We didn't feel sore over
It, either, and play the baby act.
We took our medicine without a WY
face, but the same dose is bitter 10
some Of our friends. Let's be fair
and friendly. If this paper has got
TO sink principle for friendship. it
had as well die now as next year.
And when an editor will not defend
the rights Of the community in which
be lives. he had best move on.

The report shows four times as
many doctors II California in pro
portion 70 the population as in Ger
May. In small towns OF 5000 or
400 one finds four OF five doctors
and as many lawyers struggling for

pressing 10 the professions.
The evil effects Of turning out an
army Of poorly educated doctors

parent. The evil OF the same con

less obvious, but Just as serious. i
