Let Us Talk 1t
Over

Well. dear sinner friends, this ID
The Fool Killer.
How does it set on your stomach!
II you like it, you can get more at
headquarters.
The Fool-Killer is not ven a forty
1eventh cousin to any other paper on
sarth.
It stands in a class by itself, and
tn field is an 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
1ump-handle on this pungent period
zeal of thrilling thought. I print only
what I write; I write only what
think; and l think what I doggon
please.
I own this entire establishment,
and Rockefeller isn't rich enough to
buy one share of it.
Does that sound strange?
Well, bless your soul, l am a great
deal richer than old John.
I never travelled any to speak OF,
thunk some.
J. nave d4SO VIII q low OOOAc "AASA
| know are great, because they don't
sell worth a cent.
Great books never do.
And then I started The Fool-Killer,
tust 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
o. bundle of literary dynamite that
will shake the rotten foundations OF
society and cause the Church of Nam
anon to at least turn over in its sleep.
The Fool-Killer In a monthly mus
ssRrd-plaster for the blood-boils Of
Society, Church and State.
It is sailed with wit, peppered with
slumor and seasoned with sarcasm.
Every line cuts like a whip, and
avery word raises a blister.
II you are a fool you had better not
subscribe for The Fool-Killer. II
you are wise you will. And SO that
settles 1t.

S.. O. S.!
Dear Friends:

=
D ear Friends:
There are a few things about
this publishing business that all
ways need telling and re-telling.
| would rather not trouble you
with so much of this "shop-talk,'
but it seems necessary in order
to keep your working interest
aroused and the subs coming in
properly. That problem of get
ting subs is one that we editors
always have to contend with.
No paper can run long if the subs
quit coming. Especially is this
true of a paper like The Fool
Killer, which draws practically
all its support from subscription.
receipts. Papers that carry large
amounts of advertising can live
awhile on the ads if necessary.
But The Fool Killer has no adver-
Using to speak of, and when the
subscription receipts are shy the
expenses go right on, with moth
ing to meet them.
Now we all know that this is a
dull season at best, and / didn't
expect to break any records
right along now, but | did want
to at least make running ex-
penses. However, [ shall fail to
do even that if business gets
much duller than it has been for
the past two months.
Now, boys, | can't stand much
Of that. Either the subscription
receipts have got to pick no. or
The Fool, Killer has got to 90
dead. Do you want that to hap
pen? The only assurance | can
have that my efforts are being
appreciated and that you want
the paper to continue is when
you prove it by sending in subs.
When you all remain silent and
the subs quit coming, | will take
it for granted that you have had
enough of my CAB, and | will feel
like stopping the paper. Its fate
is IN your hands, What are Won
going to do with it3
OF course | would expect better
business when fall comes-if T
can just keep alive till then: b,,t
what if you let me perish to
death before fall gets here? Let
me remind you that lave to huv
paper and hire work hands lust
the same now as when business
was good, and it will soon eat
me up if you don't come to NV
rescue.
Now let me hear from every
blessed one of you on this subject
Iell me whether you want Tho
tool-Killer to stop or to 90 On
And if you want it to 90 On than
) prove It by rolling in the clubs
Yours hopefully,

BOTH BLIND IN ONE EYE.

a few minutes about a certain
couple Of papers printed in this
country, both having a very large
circulation, and exerting, in their
way, a powerful influence. | re-
fer to The Menace, Of Aurora,
Missouri, and The Appeal to Rea-
son, Girard, Kansas.
Both Of these papers are MAX
ing a. hard fight on certain evils
that exist, and both Of them are
blindly ignoring other evils that
need fighting just as bad. These
papers are not openly opposing
each other,> but it is an odd fact
that each one is as blind as a bat
to the dangers that loom large in
the eyes of the other.
The Menace, with it's million
and-a-half circulation, is concen-
trating it's fire on the Seven-Head-
ed Beast Of Rome, and ignoring
Rome's twin sister, Plutocracy.
On the other hand, The Appeal
~ 1eGdSOL1, Will LIS hdlI-llllllOIl
circulation, is cussing Plutocracy
to a fine finish and totally ignor-
ing the dangers that threaten us
from Rome. In fact, The Appeal
goes out Of it's way to throw bo-
kays at Rome, and refuses to be-
lieve that she is dangerous at all.
The Appeal has apparently sold
out, boots and, baggage, to the
Romish Hierarchy, the most cor
rupt and powerful money trust
that ever existed, and still it
seems to be laboring under the
impression that it is fighting the
poor mans battles against Pluto
cracy. Well, it is to a certain ex-
tent, but it spoils it all by truck
ling to it's own b~itterest enemy.
And the pity of it is that The Ap-
peal seems blissfully unconscious
| OF the righteousness Of it's posi-
ton.
And the Menace is just as far
on the other extreme. It can t
see nor hear nor talk about a dog
gon thing but Rome. It can take
, a Roman mole-hill and make a
mountain out Of it quicker than
magic, but it couldn't see a
!. mountain Of plutocratic outrage
with a telescope. During that
awful reign Of terror in Colorado,
| where innocent women and chill
dren were murdered and burnt by
:. Rockefeller's hired thugs, what
did The Menace say about it
:. NOT ONE WORD? Didn't even
! know anything was going on out
y there. Why? Because that was
JaWndee's doings, and Jawdee is

to raise a finger against murder
and outrage so long as it is com.

Menace must have a fit.
1t all reminds me Of a man with

He yells for somebody to come

to hug up the other one and sleer
with it. Romanism and Plutocra

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Provision- al President Huerta has complained at the action of the American govern ment in authorizing General Funston to advance into the interior and ex- tend the lines of American Occupa- tion at Vera Cruz The Mexican dic- tator claims that it is a violation of the terms of the armistice and that the United States is simply gaining time for the concentration of troops while his hands are tied by the agreement to await the efforts at mediation.
 The complaint was received by the representatives of the South American states, who are acting as mediators.
 The American authorities have made no reply to the communication received from the mediators and it is expected that they will be inform ed that the action of General Fun ston was merely police matter and is not intended as a hostile move to- wards General Huerta.

ST. PAUL, May 9.-The estate or Frederick Weyerhauser, the lumber man, totals only sS70,000. according to the list filed here today by the administrator. The attorney gener- al has ordered an investigation, be- ]ieving that a large amount of prop erty is being hidden in order to avoid the heavy inheritance tax.
 Officials of the state had expected that the estate would run into several hundred millions and a few had vis- ions of 3 $5oo,ooO,oOo or $1,ooo, 100000 estate, as it had been claimed for many years that the Humber king was richer than Rockefeller.
 Friends of the family, however, claim that the great bulk of the es- tate was deeded to his children many years ago, as Weyerhauser was an old man, dying at the age of SS, and that he had retained only enough to provide for himself in his old age and had divided the balance among his children.
