This is the pitiful picture Leonard
. A. Busby, president of the street rail-
way lines, has painted in the hopes OF
inspiring the sympathy OF his l,OoO
workers so that they will cease tnelr
demand for more wages and better
working conditions.
If one would believe Busby's
mournful story the receipts of the
company have fallen off $4,000 day.
The company is starving. There
fore the men should be willing to do
nate from their wages to keep it alive.
That is the philosophy of L. A. Busby
We are starving, so should you, Is IN
effect what he says.
The company Is trying 10 toucn
with pity the hearts of men for whom
it has shown scant pity. 1t is trying
to hypnotic them into psycholog-
zeal state where tehy will be willing
to sacrifice the comforts and rights
of their families to benefit the Golfers
of the starving" transportation
magnates.
Indications are that the men who
are trying to decently support self
and families on the wages the car
companies grant are not going to
heed the wall of Busby.
Had just wages been previously
granted, the pressure would not now
be so great on the company" said

ON ALL CENSORSHIP

ON ALL CENSORSHIP
Over 800 people at the Walt Whit
man dinner, Grand Pacific hotel,
heard Clarence Darrow turn loose on
censorship last night. He said:
$50 long as we have censor to
say what we can say or not say
there will be no real American art.
We have censors for books, moving
pictures, paintings. 1t is all ignorant,
absurd, all the time.
1--WE will have no art so long as
Funkhouser and his kind are butting
in.
Thanks to Walt Whitman a man
can write poetry today without
rhyme. 1t used to be crime if the
third line of verse didn't have a
sound like the word ending the first
line. Whitman never went to col
lege. He didn't know what good lit
erature was. So he showed men a
new way to write. He told the truth
Just as he saw it. One-half the art

Mr.. BOwser smoked and read.
Then he chucked the paper away and
talked to the cat.
Then he hummed the air Of song.
Then he looked at the clock.
Then he rose up and stretched and
yawned.
What he would have done next can
not be told, as the mournful howl Of a
dog came from the street to cause Mrs.
Bowser to exclaim:
Mercy on me. but go out and drive
that beast awayw
by George. but that's a curious coin
cidencev exclaimed Mr.. Bowser as he
got up. 1T was only this afternoon
that was reading long article on
transmigratiOn. and here q dog comes
bowling in front Of my door,"

about it." replied Mrs. Bowser. III
you had been reading a long article
about Noah and his ark the dog would
have come just the same Please go
out and club him away"
"I'll do nothing Of the sort. How
can we tell that the soul Of some Of
our dead friends has not passed into
that dog and returned, to the earth
again.
