Now when you Socialist editors

Don't spoil your paper by trying to
force your religious beliefs on other

good men-and Socialists, too who
have gone back on The Rip-saW on

AN IDOL FACTORY.

- -
Sam Purvis gets off a yarn That
is mighty full of interest. Sam was
doing" Philadelphia one day-iust
sorter going about to see what he
could ind in the City of Brotherly
love. He hadn't hardly got out from
under the shadow of independence.
Hall when he stumbled unexpectedly
into an Idol Factory.
Note the spelling. It was not an
idle" factory, like we had in the
days of Grover, and like we still have
in these days of Republican pros
perity' whenever some Internal
trust wants to squeeze the life out
OF its army of w~age-slaves.
An idle factory is not very busy,
as a general rule. But this Idol
Factory that Sam Purvis found was
a very busy place. There were plen-
ty of Idols but no idleness. In fact,
they were rushing to complete a
large order of Buddhist idols for
Korea.
Gosh, Betsy, but don't that cap
the stack? / knew we sent mis-
sionaries and corn likker to the
s~lant-eyed heather, but Idols is the
limit. Think Of a great Christian
nation sending a s%hip-load of Idols
to Korea, and then sending another
ship-load of missionaries to tell the
Koreans how foolish and sinful it
is t worship idols. And no doubt in
lots of Eases the missionaries and
the idols go on the same ship.
I'd hate like thunder to be an
American missionary and be stand
ing around when those boxes OF
idols were opened. Il wouldn't want
the job of trying to explain matters
to those supplemented heather.
OF course we'd like to pump the
Acknowledged rascals full Of good
Christianity. That's religion. But
if they want to pay us good money
for making little fat-nosed mud-gods
for them to bow down and worship
we just simply can't afford to turI
down the job. That's business.
Don't it beat bobtail, anyhow?

Now Johndee is said to be worth

Put that down. Now suppose you

three dollars a day. And suppose
that you didn't 'have~to spend a sim

came out at the end of the year with

you? Yes, you certainly would. In

Why must an army of poor people
slave their miserable lives away in
order to let one pot-gutted son-of-a-
Y live in luxury and idleness?
That's what puzzles my gizzard. IN
the great economy of nature, God
has provided that the earth shall
produce enough for all the people;
and the fact is that a gracious plenty
is produced. But the reason SO
many poor Wretches have to go rag

sorter sore where he sits down.

great stickler for dress and appear

about clothes. and preferred flannel
shirt to the hard-boiled variety. He
was also a devotee OF corduroy pants.

He utterly failed to offer the famous
