In Darkest New York.

If there ever was a hell-hole on
this earth, | reckon New York
City must be the place. The
blamed old town has got so thun-
deration big that it thinks there
amt no other town on the map.
It is such a monstrous piled-up
aggregation of hellishness that
no set Of officers could make it
behave, and to make matters
worse, they don't try. The very
old dickenses that have been put
on guard and expected to slap
thunder out of the thugs and
gamblers of New York-these
same brass-button bucks have
sold out to the devil and let him
start branch hell right under
their noses.

Honest men who are being
driven to the wall every hour
that passes by the greedy vam-
pires of fabulous wealth have
the right to inaugurate measures

anarchy, but that same spirit
that runs riot in the veins Of
patriots who seek with might
and main to defend the sancity
of their homes and the sacredness
for their soil from the tyrant's s
inroad and the oppressor's cruel
wrong.

NEW DISCO VERY.

I see where a feller over in
Yourope has just diskivered a.
new variety Of hair that will
build up a run down brain in a
little of no time. This new hair
seems to supply new vitality to
the brain sorter like cow-peas
and clover supply the soil.
AS soon as get the feller's
address I'm going to send over.

between my ears. Then if it
proves to be a success, | will sell
the seed to the government and
have the congressman send it out.
in packages along with their i'm
ported gourd-seed and early
American 'tater bugs.
They say that a feller with a
good level head can raise four
crops of this hair in a season and
put on enough brain fertility to
regulate the Behighted States Of
America twenty-four hours in
the day.
I am powerful glad to know
that somebody has been smart.
enough to get out a new variety
of hair. All through the ages we
have been fooling along with a
head crop that benefited nobody
but the BARRIERS, and the crop is
so run down that lots Of folks
haven't any hair at all on their
heads. But just wait till I intro
duce that new hair and you won't
see any more bald heads shining
like the full moon rising over
Chesapeake Bay.
Before putting in crop of this
new hair, the old hair must be
cut, raked up in punches and
hauled away. The roots can be
removed with dynamite or a
stump p-puller.
This hair comes in different
colors, and is guaranteed not to
fade nor fall out. You better put
in your order at once. Send for a
color sheet and let your wife Sc
lect the shade that looks best on
you.

A SERMON ON POVERTY.

"A OCNN1O1N O4N .IOVGN IL -
All right, mutton-heads! Just
be seated, and I will preach you
a little sermon on the subject Of
Poverty
You know there is a class of
hot-air artists who are eternally
shooting off their mouths about
the blessings of poverty, y and
all the time they are grabbing for
the nickels and squeezing the
pennies till the old Indians
tongue lolls out like a tired steer
in August.
They point out the poor boys
who have achieved success and
fame, and they give poverty the
credit for it all. Why, hang-take
it all, that argument is weaker
than branch water trying to run
up hill. Anybody with the sense
of a last years fool knows that
them poor boys succeeded, not
because of poverty, but in spite
Of it. They happened to be strong
enough to overcome the difficult
ties and win out. Thousands of
others who go down in defeat
would succeed if they had half a
chance.
Talk about poverty bringing a
man out! Bosh and fiddlesticks!
It brings out a feller's elbows and
the gable ends of his breeches.
That's what it brings out.
Poverty is a curse. It is the
wife of woe, the sister Of sorrow,
the brother of bankruptcy, the
father Of famine, the mother OF
misery, the grandfather Of greed
and the aunt Of anxiety. It is the
stifer of genius, the handicap OF
enterprise, and the skulking,
scowling foe of enthusiasm. Il
puts out the eye Of hope, murders
the heart of ambition and chokes
the throat of zeal in the vOnnc
dreamer's life.
| Yes, dear mutton-heads, pov
erty is a curse. It takes million:
of tender lives that deserve bet
ter things and sends them to th'
sweat-shop, the scullery and th,
washerwoman's life or toll. I
sends nightmare into the swee
dreams of the poet, grinds int
dust the bright hopes Of tn,
genius, and makes slaves of th'
| Cod given faculties that were no
meant to toll in vain.

WILSON'S FIRST MESSAGE.
Translated into COrn-Field Eng
lish by the Editor Of The Fool
Killer.

To the Congress which / now
have on my hands: Gentlemen,
you are assembled as the repre-
sentatives of the grandest aggre-
CATION of fools on the face of the
earth. You are here to talk and
draw your salaries. Custom de-
mands that say something about
the general situation.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Our foreign relations are all
right, but I don't know how long
they are going to stay so. The
Mexican situation is getting
pretty serious. Them mixed
blooded paupers down there are
trying to impose on some of our
American millionaires who have
property interests in that country,
and we don't aim to put up with
much of that. But while other
nations are fighting like cats and
dogs let us try to remain at peace
with them, and do what fighting
we do against the American
working-man.
MONEY.
Speaking of money, I heard
McAdoo say there was just dead
loads of it in the Treasury. l don't
know how it got there nor what
good it is doing anybody, but I
guess we had better try to keep
it there. If it should happen to
get away from us, we can sell
some bonds and get it back,
maybe. Money is the most i'm
portant medium of commercial
consideration, and should always
be kept where it ought to be,
because of the fact that where it
ought to be is the place for it. ]
hope the lucidity of my elucida-
tion is equal to the requirements
of the occasion.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT
Being at peace with everybody
but the American workingman,
might say we are in pretty good
fighting shape to go up against
any body of men, provided they
are not armed. The troops ought
to be massed near the large cities
and mining districts in order for
them to be affective in shooting
down hungry people who want a
job, or who protest against low
wages. / think it would be good
idea to increase the army, as times
are apt to be hard for the next
four years, and much troubl may
be looked for.
THE NAVY.
/ think the Navy will get along
'swimminglyo during my admin
istration, because I have it on
good authority that my new Sec
retary of the Navy, Mr.. Jodarter
Daniels, once crossed the Neuse
river IN boat.
The fool-killer., 1913-03-01
THE COURTS.

| want to say to you, gentlemen,
that the courts of this country
are daisies. And they are presided
over by a bunch of judges that
are sweet scented honeysuckles.
The idea of indicting an
editor for making an exposure of
official cussedness after we have
admitted che truth of his state
ment by ecting the evil that
is bright idea. It took doggon
smart man to study that out. We
must try to get rid of every man
and every paper that dares to tell
the truth on us.
The fool-killer., 1913-03-01
AGRICULTURE

Next to teaching school and being
presi dent, agriculture occupies
one of the most important rela-
tions to our national prosperity. I
would like to tell you about farm
ing, but my worthy Secretary,
Mr. Dave Houston, will soon be-
gin telling you what he don't
know about it. The Secretary will
recc ommend that farmers SOW a
few sacks of salt and raise their
own salt next year. He will also
Recommend tbatpotatoes be pick
ed off of trees instead of shaking
them off. And before leaving this
subject, / would suggest that
sulky plows ought to be swung
up to limb and left over night.
That will break them from being
sulky.
TARIFF REFORM.
Now we are getting down to
brass tacks. The Tariff is our old
standby. What sweet morsel!
Now if you want to earn the
gratitude of your fellow citizens,
you must make tariff speeches.
You must swear by the beard OF
Moses and the Pope's big toe
that you believe it is; and if it is
as it was, it ought to be just as il
has been, and you think it will be
as it ought to be, and would have
been if it had not been that it was
not as it ought to have been al
the very time that it should have
been as it was to have been at the
time it was not. Now / would
suggest that we fix it like it was
to have been fixed at the time we
promised to change it from the
way it was before it was changed
to the way it ought not to have
been. If it could be made to work
like it did before it was changed
to what it was at the time it was
not what it ought to have been,
] think it would settle the whole
matter.

The Man Who Did Not Advertise

That flew and f1uttered, one by
one,
Into the webs by spiders spun
The webs that draped the win

And half concealed his stock in

He twiddled thumbs and stretch
ed himself
While dust collected on each
shelf;
"Ah, mel" he sighed, what is
a store?
They amt no business any more!
| got a lot O. stuff t. sell,
But folks ain tbuyin' very well!'
A spider heard his dull lament,
Lowered himself in swift de-
cent
Till at the level of his ear
He whispered: Say, my friendl
See here!

Why don't you go and advertiser
The Man Who Did Not Adver-

Took his advice on catching
flies
Much as a man takes all advice
That isn't labeled with a price;
In other words he didn't hear

Might have been told in half the

But if you wish to see it, go
To where the dust and cobwebs

held picture of Cleopatra, dressed
in beautiful, but low cut gown /.
The picture depicted Cleopatra
waiting in barge for her lover
Anthony, who was in the interior
of Africa shifting the natives. The
teacher wanted to emphasize the
word barge" so holding the pic
ture up where the pupils could see
it plainly she asked, What is
Cleopatra in?" A bright young
pupil spoke up Immediately saying,

The following taken from the
Saskatoon Daily Star relates to
John Brennan who was chief of
police here several years ago. The
Star says;
Through prompt action on the
part of Motorman Brennan while
operating his car on Sixth avenue
Yesterday afternoon, between 4 and
5 o'clock, Mrs. Fenton, Sixth aven-
ue, escaped certain injury when she
was struck by the car. The lady
was intending to board the car with
her daughter, Mrs. Armitage. Be-
fore it came in sight Mrs. Armi-
tage returned to the house to get
something she had forgotten, her
little son who was there also going
along. While returning from the
house the car was coming and the
little boy started to run to his grand
mother standing on the opposite
side of the rails. Fearing that the
little fellow would be run down,
Mrs. Fenton went to catch him
and in doing so struck her face
against the corner of the car infict-
ing a rather nasty cut. Had the
motorman not pulled up the car as
quickly as he did Mrs. Fenton may
have been much more seriously in
jured."

dosen't agree with. There is q
complaint that editors lack fearless
ness and honesty, that newspapers
are too generally mere partisan or
gans that disregard the claims of
truth and justice when political in
terestS are at stake. There is too
much truth in the charge! But let
us ask how it is possible for a fear
less, honest, outspoken journal
to live if every man is to cry out
stop my paper" whenever he
reads something that does not ac-
cord with his views? The men that
insist that the paper they read shall
never say anything contrary to
their views are the ones who are,
in a large measure, responsible for
the craven cowardliness and the
weather cock propensities of modern
Journalism. In community COM
posed entirely of these stop nv
paper people, true independent
journalism would be an impossi-
bility, When you are convinced
that paper is dishonest and deceit
full, stop it. When convinced that
1t is unclean, stop it. When it
lacks enterprise and fails to give
you news, stop it. But don't stop
paper that you believe to be
honest, enterprising, clean and
courageous, simply because the edi-
tor has written his own sincere
views instead of yours or some
other person S; for if you do, you
are putting a premium on insincere
Journalism and serving notice on an
editor that the way to succeed is to
write what he thinks will please his
readers instead of what he thinks

There is a rapidly growing de-
mand in all parts of the country
that books be included in the list
of articles sent by parcel post.
Why should books be excluded
and bricks be carried at the low
rate? The present arrangement is
inconsistent and absurd. A cheap
rate on books would be a decided
benefit to a very large percentage
of the people of the United States.
1t is likely that more live in COM
munities and on farms to which
books may be purchased from
dealers. All those on rural routes
and villages are interested in secur-
ing lower rate on literature and are
entitled to consideration.
