future history of this and every other
country on the globe.
These well-Dosted gentlemen. and
sometimes ladies', are frequently per
sons who have had the misfortunes to
visit Juarez to see a bull fight or
get dish Of chile con carne and hav-
ing accomplished their purpose return
TO the United States with the idea
that they know the entire history of
Mexico and all Of the stricken coun-
try's kings, emperOrs, rulers, presi-
dents, bandits and arch cutthroats.
Or perhaps one of them ventured
across the Atlantic and caught a
glimpse Of the fog of London after
which he PUSHES back to America
to inform the stay at homes that Eng
land is on the eve of blockading the
south pole or some other equally STRAIT
egic point.
Mayhap. the particular 'know-it-
all" set his foot down on Russian
soil for a day or two and forthwith
Immediately assim!ated all of the
secrets OF the Russian war office. He
became at once an authority on all
subjects pertaining TO the Russian
government and he hastens back to
this country to inform the poor. ig-
norant people that Russia is not trying
70 help Fhe allies because Russia
knows that If the allies win it Will
moan her own downfall. The return
ed pilgrim knows for has he not been
in Russia for two daysl
We had the overwhelming pleasure
of seeing one OF these human freaks
In action the other night. He had
select crowd in a corner and was pro-
ceeding to enlighten them on the sub
iect of Mexico and what the Amer
lean government intends to do to that
country. He had been in Mexico SO
therefore he knew In fact he knew
more about the plans of Uncle Sam

knows himself.
1t was perfectly clear to him that
the United States intended to dick
Mexico" and "clean out every Moyi
can in the country" But the ia ted
States could not do it without losing
thousands of men. He knew, because
he had been there. The "greasers"
would do this and would do that,
and besides Japan would send her
fleet and a mighty army to assist
the Mexieans. He outlined the
exact action which the combined
Mexican-Japanese forces would take
and after he got through the wonder
ing audience lighted cigarettes all
around and ordered another dope"
after which they began discussing
plans to save this country from ruin.
But 1t was noticed that none of them
sought his way to the recruiting Of
fee where the boys of the Georgia
militia are preparing to do something
besides talk.
AT times we are amused by these
fellows who seem to think that a
breath OF foreign air gives them an
insight into everything pertaining to
the county trfbuiary TO that air.
Again we are slightly provoked and
sometiems actually Disguised We
cannotsheln but spea:, a word against
such things. They do no good and it
the men. or women, who seek to show
their knowledge in such n manner
think they are making a great i'm
preston upon their audience, they
have but to peep through the curtain
and see the grins and giggles which
follow their discourse.
In this enlightened age the people
do not have TO journey to England
to learn that the country is totally
surrounded by water; they do not
have to visit JNare1 to learn that Mex
leo City is supposed TO be the capital
of the republic of Mexico; they do not
have to crcss the Pacific ocean in
order 10 satisfy themselves that a
