We didn't find the way, and we are now
coming back by rail, for fear we might other
wise lose the way home.
We spent ten million dollars on our first
trip to Mexico, and one hundred and sixty
millions on the second.
We didn't get Villa dead or alive" and
we didn't try.
We got DR.. Gambrell, though.
We taught the Baptsts lesson: they won't
propose any more revlvals In camp, and they
won't hereafter tell Funstons soldiers that
their unregenerated souls are "lost."
Funston evidently thought that enough had
been lost n Mexico, without losing the souls
of the Army.
was real sorry for Brother Gambrel
The Government had no sooner let 90 of
Tom Watson than it took hold of Tom Law
son.
We Democrats are having a sort of Tom
Tom time of it.
Lawson says that some of us speculated in
Wall Street, on inside tips of Woodrow Will
sons peace note,
Well, what of it?
Are we Democrats never to make profta-
BILE use of our knowledge, after we take the
trouble to get it?
Hoots Toots! We had a world of trouble
beating Perkins and Roosevelt and Charley
Hughes; and we have a big campaign debt
hanging over our Committee right now.
Inside tips are part of the legitimate spoils
of victory; and, since we Democrats are the
victors, the spOils are ours
[ don't see why our Son-in-law McAdoo,
and our GermanJew Warburg, and our own
Texas Bob Henry should be denying the allie
cations.
Let them "fess up and clarity the atmos-
phere
We can't afford to let Tom Lawson have a
whole session of Congress, all to himself.
He's telling the truth, just like the other
Tom; and if it hurts the Government, let it
hurt.
German consuls and other German officials
continue to blow us up with POWDER dyna-
mite, petrolite, ETC., but the German ambassa-
dor remains at our banquet board, the guest
of honor.
Ours is truly great and complex Govern

Prussia was let out of the fatal trap into

course of 20 or 80 years, the devastated king
