tSlIdLOTS WOulu dttciupt IO ody otherwise The Wilson administra- ton has brought to Mother Earth a well nigh Utopian condition of things, and everything is as love ly as everything can well be.
 So this man Lawson with his messy way of pointing out and pick ing out the flies in the ointment pot IS to be discouraged. We want no knockers. We want everyone to boost and to boost like hell. A sys- tematic campaign of education has been wageC to knock the knocknr and he is the unwelcome guest. II there is social ulcer here or there cropping up, cover it over with odor ferrous sa,ve that will hide the filth within. If a sickness manifestS it. self within the body polite try a faith cure and see if mental healing can be of avail. That's the new nostrum. We have nothing but high minded statesmen in and out of of- flee who are what Caesars wife ought to be, above suspicion.
 This effort upon the part of Law son to direct attention to possible speculation upon the part of politi- clans or officials should be nipped in the bud. IL tends to expose the fact that these political idols have feet of clay and are not altogether super men. The correct idea is to have the hoi polloi considering the officials and the politicians made of some superior breed and not of the earth, earthly. Anything that tends to dis illusion the dear people laboring under this fond snDerstitition is to be denounced and discouraged. Any thing that tends to weaken the faith in popular heroes of Congress should receive short shrift. That is the idea of an inquisition That is the why of the stake. That is why social ostracism should be visited upon upon those who permit themselves to aid or abet in depreciating those who are supposed to be immune from such aspersions.
 The essential point to be remem- bered is that the national house has ben cleaned, deodorized and properly disinfected. The trusts have been made reasonable and good, ana where they could not be made req sonable and good they were dissolv- ed. There are no combinations try ing to gouge a little out of the pockets of the poorer man; the great industrial organizations are strictly altruistic institutions rendering an account of their stewardship to God and the nation. The political atmos- phere is as clear and pellucid as the proverbial spring; there is nothing but civic morality here, there and everywhere. Business is above all suspicion of undue exaction and there is nothing evil industrially, financially or commercially under the sun. That is or ought to be the general notion. If it is not, it is fault of the knockers, the muck rakers, the agitators and hence to the stake with them! These are days of industrial preparedness when the nation is to embark upon the career 'conquering foreign mark cts and for the further plutoni3ation of the plutocracy. That's the idea To him tha. hath more shall be given and ii order tnatethis eternal and immutably divine law may be eternal and immatable. nothing must be said. done. or thought which would cast any reflection upon even tl.e least of, those in .hign official or political places lest the stability of the present order of things be affect ed. Damn Lawson, anyway. -
