Special Sale of Sub Cards!

Look-ee here, boys! I'm just now
fixing to break all previous records
into a thousand jiblets. In connection
with my special ten-cent offer which
appears elsewhere in this issue, I am
right here going to make another
offer that you can't afford to miss.
This is a Special Sale of Sub Cards,
and it is going to continue up to and
including July 31st, 1913. During this
time, you can buy as many Sub Cards
as you want at ten cents apiece, pro-
vided you don't order less than ten at
a time. One dollar will get ten cards,
five dollars will get fifty, or ten dol
lars will get one hundred. Each card
will be good for n subscription to
The Fool-Killer any time in the flu
ture. They cost you only ten cents
each, and you can sell them at fifteen
cents each to people who want the
paper, thus making a good profit for
yourself. The cards are already self
addressed, and all the subscriber has
to do is to write his name and address
on the card and mail it. You can't
buy the cards at this price after July
31st, but all you buy between now
and then can be used any time in the
future. So lay in a good supply.
Seems to me like you could easily
handle at least a hundred. Try it and
see.
Friends, I am making this offer for
the express purpose OF raising at ioast
S., 900 right at once. There amt no
II ways about tive just GOT TO
have that much money to pay for the
tnew machinery. The Linotype Ma
chine has already been ordered, and
the Web Press will be ordered just as
soon as I a see the money in sight.
Right then The Fool-Killer will be
doubled in size and sent to you at the
same old price.
Help me, boys! For the Lords
sake, help me!

Concerning Expirations.

| have a rubber stamp contain
ing the words, your subscrip-
ton has expired. Please renew"
The mailing clerks are instructed
to use this stamp on all expiring
subs. AS a result of this several
complaints have come in saying,
II just renewed my subscription
a week or two ago, and here you
are telling me that my subscrip-
ton has expired" Let me ex-
plain here that all expiring subs
are marked off and all renewals
are recorded as new subs. Hence
those who have lately renewed
will sometimes get an expiration
notice, but it only means that the
OLD sub has expired. If you
have renewed, you know it, and
you will continue to get the paper.

''GOOD NEWS

Say, friends, here is a piece Of
news that may interest some of
you, especially those Of you who
are inclined toward religious lit
erature. I have been running The
Fool-Killer for nearly four years.
/ have made a little money and
have had several wagon-loads of
fun out of it, but my wife (who
is a good modest Christian woman)
has always been sorter ashamed
of the fool thing. She considers it
a purity tolerable sorry excuse for
a paper and wonders why so
many folks are so crazy over it.
And so, in order to show me and
the rest of you what a real paper
looks like, Mrs. Pearson has turned
in and started a paper of her own.
It is a non-sectarian religious
monthly, and its name is "GooD
NEWS" The first issue has just
appeared. And right here let me
make this public confession-the
wilder has done got me skinned.
"GOOD News" amt as droll and
funny as The Fool-Killer, but it
is ten times better because it talks
about better things. 1t is also we'll
written and full of fresh new
ideas. One issue contains more
Bible truth and spiritual uplift
th26a dozen ordinary sermons. ]
Know scne of my readers don't
believe In religion at all, but there
will come a time when they will
wish they had. And so I invite
all my readers, no matter what
their religious views, to subscribe
for my wife's paper. It will do
you good. The price of single
subscriptions is fifteen cents a
year, but in clubs of five or more
it is only ten cents. Send money
by any safe method, and address
all orders to:

A Pity-And Nothing To Put
Tt In.

A well-meaning but misguided
brother up at Corning, New York,
has writ me a very weepy letter
bemoaning my tendency toward
the use of slang. He thinks I
mean we'll, but am really doing
more harm than good. He wants
me to tone up'' my paper and
make it refined and classical, sor-
ter like The Christian He raid, I
guess. He wants me to cut out
my home-spun language and talk
like the president of Boston col
lege, using words big enough to
choke a bull elephant to death.
Aw, say, mister college found
cred goodikln! [ wonder to my
soul why you didn't learn some
common sense while you we're
learning SO many big words? Now
wouldn't you play smash trying
to measure everybody's langu age
by your grammatical yard stick?
If [ occasionally use a word that
amt in Webster's Underbreeches
Dictionary, I reckon that's MY
business. Didn't you know that
the proper words of today were
the slang words of ~yesterday2
Where would the new words come
from if somebody didn't have
originality enough to make 'em2

what's the matter with you, hon
ey-you're just as jealous as an
old maid because you can't edit q
good nice funny paner like The
Fool-Killer and talk to 0 1000
people every month. Suppose you
start a paper according to your
elevated ideas of journalism and
see how it works. After several
years of squatting your lifeless
words into paper with a hand
press, you will throw up the job
and get me to send The Fool-Kil-

"A Sermon On The War Sea re.

Ha, there! Hold on. misterl
Let's you and me discuss the war
situation about fifteen cents
worth.
Have you seen that big bloody
Jap about twelve feet high, with
Tour guns in his belt, a sword in
each hand, blood in his eye and a
butcher-knife in his teeth? That's
the modest little war-scare they
are giving us along now.
It may be just an empty scare
or it may have the CUTS of rea IL
in it. | wouldn't swear to it either
way. You better see Hobson
about it.
There are certain sordid inter-
ests in this country and else
where that would profit fnan-
cially by a war between these
Benighted States and Japan. l
can prove this by old man Billyum
j.. Bryan, and when two such
high authorities as me and Bill
agree on a thing there must be
some truth in it.
Old Aunt California claims
that Mister Jap is wanting to
build too many play houses in her
back yard, and she don't lik the
way his breath smells. So she
proposes to gently pick him up
by the slack of his breeches a nd
set him down on his own 81 de of
the frog-pond. That may be as
easy as sliding down a creased
pole, but I amt got no money to
bet on it. How much have you
got? Yes, l know we feel pretty
big, and Japan looks mighty lit
tie. but it sometimes happens
that the biggest rooster staggers
off with the bloodiest head. May
be you better ask Russia about
that.
But shucks in August! II the
'billionaires decide that they need
a few little rivers of poor merE
blood to irrigate their fnaEcial
interests, they know exacI how
to get it. They always nAnage to
divide the common fiugs into
two groups and Set them tc
butcherisag eacI other, while
they {the plgxes) sit back cross
legged aDSI rake in the profits.
They always see to it that the
rich 3xvils get all the gold, while
s/pocr devils get all the lead
Amt that a dickens of poor
way to divide up?' But the
common plugs have been fools
enough to submit to it ever since
the dawn of history. How much
longer will it take them to learr
a little common sense, | wonder
Until the poor of every nation
do get their eyes open to the
horrible, bloody graft that is be-
ING practiced on them by thu

When a literary lizard can't
show his belly to the reading
world any other way, he just per-
zackly wraps up his conscience in
a paper napkin and puts it away
in the bureau, and then goes to

CAN'T BE IMPARTIAL IN TRIAL
OF MIR, WATSON.

Judge Emory Speer has certified
that he cannot act impartially in the
case now pending in the United
States Court against Thomas E. Wat
son for sending obscene matter
through the mails, and has asked
Judge Pardee to assign another
Judge for this case. He does not
give any reason why he cannot Judge
1mpartially in the case nor does he
say whether his mind is partial for
or against Mr.. Watson, but it is gen
orally supposed that he is preiudiced
against him.
We have always regarded judge
spear as a strong, broad minded
Judge, and it seems almost incredi-
bic that a great man who has been
on the bench as long as Judge Spear.
Judging in the differences of his fell
low man could not lay aside his per
sonal feelings and little prejudices
when he gets on the bench. and
Judge righteously and impartiallv.
But If he is not broad enough to do
SO the only thing to do is to admit
1t and refuse to serve where the
rights of either party would be
Jeopardized by his prejudice.-The

Ohio is a thrifty little State: In
stead Of cluttering up the orphan asy-
lums with little children whose
mothers are living, the State will
pay the poor mother SIS. per month
for one child, and 81 per month for
each additional child. This may cut
on some of the graft that a lot of
the politicians have enjoyed, but it
certainly moves Ohio up in the class
with the higher type of State.

An Open Letter to President
Wilson.
Mr.. Woodrow Wilson,
Human Being,
Washington, D. C.

an ORIGINAL Wilson man 1 enjoyed
it greatly.
Yes, am just human being my
self, and ORIGINAL Wilson man
and I am not wanting OFFICE. Now
SMILE.
But as a human being I am much
interested in GOVERNMENT OUR
Government.
Some great reforms I want to see
made. Tariff doesn't interest me
much. That is only plaything for
political parties. You ana Mr.. I'm
derwood can find THREE BUSINESS
men who can turn you out better
tariff law in thirty days than you will
get made by your entire Congress-
And this brings me to mention
THE REFORM I want to see-A RE-
FORM OF CONGRESS.
Let's have the Constitution to say:
congress shall consist from ONE
MEMBER from each State who shall
be elected by the qualified voters of
that State for a term of four years.
Here is a REFORM worthy of your
EFFORT. With a Congress like that
you can do BUSINESS"
You can then give us CURRENCY
REFORM ;-"Congress shall have
power to coin money and regulate
the VALUE thereof; and it shall be
their duty to furnish the people a
CURRENCY sound, safe and SUFFI-
GENT. This power shall not be
delegated to any Bank, or system of
Banks"
Give us that in the Constitution
and the Congress described above,
and we need send no Commission to
Europe to find how to get the money
into the hands of those who need it
and want it.
Then follow up Mr.. Bryan's
"PRINCE OF PEACE POLICY" and
give us a law which shall put the
Army to constructing Public High
ways and the Navy on the job of
drainage and irrigation. All, here's
a MANS job, Mr.. Wilson. Who
knows but you "came to the king
dom" for such job as this? I think
you should tackle it, You are too
big a man to lose time playing with
the tariff A NEW CONSTITUTION
and a NEW CONGRESS consisting of
ONE man from EACH STATE would
be a job big enough for you Go to
it. Give us Commission Government
applied to United States.
Recently Senator Owen was speak
ing in Ada, Okla, and some one
asked, GLOW about Commission Gov
ernment?" He very promptly gave
it his approval, like the good Demo-
crat he is. Then I asked, "What is
the matter with Commission Govern
ment applied to our Federal Govern
ment? There is where we need it
most, Senator" His reply was that
he saw no objection to it,
But you can. not expect Congress
to propose SUICIDE, Mr.. Wilson. We
HUMAN BEINGS must propose that
Let's do it.
You know Mr.. Wilson, that our
present FORM and METHOD of
Government are just as much tout of
date" as would be a Georgia ox-cart
hauling you down Pennsylvania ave-
nue. to confer with the Senator's The
whole is "ramshackle," wabbly and
manageable. The Governor of
Kansas sees the trouble and proposes
a remedy. Go thou and do likewise
to Congress. My space is out. This
letter is long enough. Read it and
let me hear from you. If you tackle
this job l will know l made no mis-
take in urging q school teacher

common and high schools of the
State.
Ontario, Canada hes had this sys-
tenn in use about six years, and what
has been the result? Nothing sepa-
rates us but an imaginary line, and
1t is reasonable to suppose that we
have men in Georgia who are just
as able and patriotic, and love the
poor children in Georgia, as we'll as
they have in Ontario. 1t may be a
very violent presumption, especially
to some book agent who has been
sapplng the poor mans very life
blood, and still wishes to keep him
down.
Compare the per cent the people
OF Ontario are saving by having a
textbook commission to edit and
nave printed by competitive bids
her books.
1n-Ontario the primer costs &C;
in Georgia Csc, making 525 per cent
more.
In Ontario the first reader costs
&c; in Georgia zoe, making 233 per
cent more.
In Ontario the second reader costs
&c; in Georgia 25c, making lit per
cent more.
In Ontario the third reader costs
14c; in Georgia soc, making ia
per cent more.
In Ontario the fourth reader costs
Ice; in Georgia 35c, making 118
per cent more.
In Ontario the arithmetic costs
1Oc; in Georgia 40c, making 800
per cent more.
On the six principal books used
we pay 242 per cent more than they
pay.
[ want to ask every man in Geor-
gia why? I will ask again why?
| want book agent or any one
else who can, to answer why do we
pay it?
If you will be present when this
bill comes up for consideration
want your help. If you are a voter
[ want your help. See your repre-
sentative and ask him why Georgia
can not have as cheap school-books
as Ontario.
I read in The Saturday Evening
Post, a few weeks ago, the book
trusts answer why. I wish every
voter in Georgia could have read it.
They say it is because the books
cost more than this. I at once wrote
to the Minister of Education of On
tario, and I have his answer, and
he writes me that during the first
six months of the operation of this
law in Ontario the saving to the
buyers of school-books was $4,000
on the first five readers alone This
was after paying all expenses. The
book trust said that the publishers
were losing money because they
contracted to print the books too
cheap, and it was for advertising.
That is a dandy, amt it? Don't you
wish we had some one in Georgia
that was willing to at least divide
or advertise? 1 also wrote the T.
Eaton Company, publishers, and
they answered that they were still
publishing the school-books and that
the question of advertising did not
enter into their bids, and they also
wrote that when we were ready to
let our contract for printing school
books for Georgia that they would
bid, and we can have them printed
there as cheap as they print them
for Ontario. The book trust said
the books were very much inferior
to theirs. l have the books, and 1
wish every voter in Georgia could
see them. They are better in every
way than ours. But even if they
were inferior, don't you think a
little matter of 242 per cent is

Philadelphia Ledger: Who would
care to live with the ideal man or
woman? What we want is "a creature
not too bright or good for human ma
lures daily food'-not a. cold, mar
moreal statue, a pale, angelic paragon
whose ~bloodless perfection is a source
of irritation to ordinary fallible NOR
tality. The goodness of Agnes in
Dickens David Copperfield will irri-
tate some readers in the same degree
that the doll-like pretty futility of
Dora offends them and proved monot-
onous to David.
1t is the woman or the man of count
less appealing imperfections who is
most cared for. And George Meredith
finds that beauty that makes holy
earth and heaven may have faults from
head to feet"
1t is sometimes good for the object of
hero Cor %heroine) worship to be IDEAL
ized-it spurs one to attain the heights
to a someone believe him better
than he is. But it is, on the whole,
more comfortable for each of us If our
friends cherish no illusions regarding
US. The best of men and women do
not wish to be thought so. They are
the first to disparage exaggerated and
p~rofuse laudation. Their humanity
