Over

Well, dear sinner friends, this is
The Fool-Killer
How does it set on your stomach?
If you like it, you can get more at
headquarters.
The Fool-Killer is not even a forty
1eventh cousin to any other paper on
earth.
It stands in class by itself. and
its field is as broad as the English
language.
This paper wears no bell, muzzle,
collar nor halter.
You can put that down to start with.
I am the fellow who works at the
pump-handle on this pungent period
ical of thrilling thought. / print only
what I write; write only what
think; and I think what I doggon
please.
l own this entire establishment,
and Rockefeller isn't rich enough to
buy one share of it.
Does that sound strange?
Well, bless your soul, / am a great
deal richer than old John.
l never travelled any to speak of,
but have read great deal, and have
thunk some.
/ have also writ few books which
/ know are great, because they don't
sell worth cent.
Great books never do.
And then | started The Fool-Killer,
Just to quiet my nerves and keep the
old press from getting rusty
From the seclusion of these wooded
hills there will go forth each month
bundle of literary dynamite that
will shake the rotten foundations of
society and cause the Church of Nam
mon to at least turn over in it's sleep.
The Fool-Killer will be a monthly
mustard-p plaster for the blood-boils of
Society, Church and State.
1t will be salted with wit, peppered
with humor and seasoned with sar-
casm
Every line will cut like a whip, and
every word will raise a blister.

you are wise you will, And SO that
settles it.

More About the Infdel Socialist.

At least three fourths OF my
readers are straight out Social
lists, and | am Socialist myself.
But you know there are several
kinds Of Socialism in the world
today, and pointedly reserve the
right to disagree with any or all
of them whenever I see fit.
There is the atheistic or infidel
crowd, who seem. to think that
the first and greatest duty OF a
Socialist is to deny God and make
fun of divine things. With that
kind Of a fool have absolutely
no patience.
And then we have the "dyna-
mite" crowd those who believe
in using force and violence to
carry their point. None Of that
for me, if you please. That amt
Socialism, nohow-it's anarchy.
Let it be plainly understood that
| take no stock in all that infidel
and dynamite business. You
know have been preaching along
this line before, and have been
plum disgusted with some of the
letters that have been written me
by members of the infidel gang.
In one breath they tell me that
Socialism has nothing to do with
religion, and in the next breath
they try to cram their infidel
dope down my throat. Once more
let me ask this question: If it is
not the business of Socialism to
meddle with a mans religious
views, what in the devil does it
keep on meddling for? Will some
of you smart infidels please
answer that?
Real Socialism is a fine thing,
and it will some day cover the
earth, but it must first cut loose
from some of it's wild men" and
get a little more method in it's
Madness" | know hundreds of
good men who would be Socialists
to-day except for the fact that
so many of the party leaders
are scoffers atreligion. Of course
every man has right to his re-
ligious views, but he certainly
has no right to put forward his
private personal views on the
subject Of religion and insist on
having them accepted as a part
of the Socialist creed. The party
should tell such fellows to either
get out or keep their mouths
shut. They are a plum nuisance.

The Bull Moose Party.

And so you want to know what
/ think Of the new Progressive
party, do you? Well, by George,
you We come to headquarters for
information. I am not one of
these blamed little cowardly cuss-
es that are afraid to tell you
where they stand.
In the first place, / think the
Progressive platform is all right,
because it was stolen bodily from
the Socialist party. Possibly it is
even better suited to the present
needs of this country than the
real Socialist platform. But here:
is the trouble-it is stolen goods,
and man who will steal a polit-
ical platform is none too good to
steal something else.
For years | have been a blind
worshipper Of Theodore Roose-
velt, and / still contend that he
is the smartest man on top Of
Gods earth to-day. In fact, I
am honestly afraid he is so
blamed smart that he is danger
Gus. Talk about personal magnet
ism!- that fellow has got enough
for a dozen men. He reminds me
of Napoleon in some respects.
Strange indeed how he can sway
the multitude! Nobody knows
how he does, but there is some
thing about him that wins people
and blinds them to his faults.
Now listen here! Is the great
Bull Moose sincere and honest in
all these fearful declarations Of
love and devotion to the dear
peepul, . or is he only playing
big bluff game? just look at the
gang of millionaires, trusts and
corporations that are putting up
the, dough for Ted, and then give
me your answer. The very idea
of having the international Har-
vester Company and the Steel
Trust to back up a party that is
going to do such wonders for the
dear peepulv' Say, Mr.. Work
ing Man, how much interest do
you suppose George W. Perk ins
has in your welfare? Just the
same interest that a wolf has in
a sheep, and no more. And yet
Perkins is the official boss of the
new party. That's all I want to
know about it. Just another plu-
tocratic pill sugar-coated with
imitation Socialism that's all.
