When 1t Is Hot
Consider, Mr.. Shadrach,
OF fiery furnace fame;
He didn't bleat about the heat
Or fuss about the flame.
He didn't stew and worry,
And get his nerves in kinks,
Nor fill his skin with lines and gin
And other cooling drinks
Consider Mr.. Meshach,
Who felt the furnace, too;
He let it sizz, nor queried rs
1t hot enough for you?"
He didn't mop his forehead
And hunt a shady spot;
Nor did he say, Gee. What day!
Believe me, it's some hot.'
Consider, to, Abed-nego,
Who shared his comrades plight;
He didn't shake his coat and make
Himself a holy sight.
He didn't wear suspenders
Without coat and vest;
Nor did he scowl and snort and howl
And make himself pest.
Consider. friends, this trio
How little fuss they made.
They didn't curse when it was worse
Than ninety in the shade.
They moved about serenely
Within the furnace bright,
And soon forgot that it was hot,

DAMAGED GOODS
And The Sins OF The
Father, Etc.

We note with considerable interest
that the Queen of Spain has just given
| birth to son. She has been married
a scant seven years and this is her
sixth child, which, we submit, is go
ing some" for a lady who is tradition
ally credited with having no legs"
But she evidently gets there just the
same.
Her fourth was still-born, another
is deaf mute, and the remainder
from current reports, are not exactly
ideal progeny from eugenic point OF
view. Still they make up in quantity
what they lack in quality. But Al
fonso and his partner are, at any rate,
living up to the divine command to
increase and multiply and replenish
the EARTH even if they cannot bring
into it anything better than a swarm
of royal Hapsburg- cretins and
detectives. 1t isn't their fault-if
Spain wants that particular brand of
humanity and can afford to extermi-
nate its Francisco Ferrers. 1t is per-
haps the survival of the fittest-in
Spain And the fittest seem to be
those most heavily tainted, both in
mind and body. These detectives har-
monte most admirably with the gen.
eral environment of filth, pride, beg
gary, ignorance and superstition pre-
valent throughout realm where the
schoolmaster is shot and the semi
idiot acclaimed as a ruler by divine
right, in the name of religion"
Far be it from us, however, to desire
to interfere with the process of pro-
duction, even in damaged goods,
though her majesty does seem to be
exceeding the speed limit of "effi-
cheney" in this respect. The murder
of Ferrer by no means assures the
permanence of an unending line of
royal imbeciles and the eternal exist
ence of corresponding mass OF I'M
beetles for them to rule over. The
schoolmaster, though dead, still liveth,
and there is hope for sanity once
again in Spain, while large and ever
growing section of the population are
becoming ever more saturated with
the ideas of the Modern School, though
it's founder was sacrificed to secure
the dominion of kingly semi-idiot.
They will take care ultimately of the
eugenics of the nation and the produc-
ton of detectives, and Alfonso and his
overworked marital partner are likely
to receive the first lesson in national
eugenics at no very distant date.-N.
