and fourth generations. The insane act Of
Harry S. New, Jr., will prevent the serious
consideration of Senator News name in
connection with the next presidential NOM
ination. In early life watch your step.
aRAFTERs HAVE THR1vED
Good government from the President Of
the United States to the mayor of the most
insignificant city Of the country and to the
justice of peace of Whoopole township,
Houser county, Indiana, is absolutely neces-
sary to head off the reign of anarchy that
this country is being threatened with at
present. Wilful waste is the password
among the officials Of the national admins
tration and from wilful waste to gentlemanly
stealing the officials and those in collusion
with them pass on in easy stages. Multi
millionaires from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and from Maine to Mexico are the outcome of
the contractors, who supplied the govern
ment with war material, and now the war
being over another bunch of gentlemanly
robbers are to become multi-millonaires out
Of the leftover government war material,
who are to buy the stuff for song and
dance and yet be protected by the govern
ment in selling it at fabulous prices. The
millions Of pounds of food stuff the govern
ment has on hand, though paid for by the
people, are to be kept out of the market by
the government that the trust hogs may
continue to profteer on the people, and that,
too, twelve months after the war is over
King Honesty, it is repeated, is needed in
every office in this country and if he is not
put in power then King Anarchy will be and
then surely hell will be to pay
CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME
While a dark skinned Asiatic girl clings
about the folds of her girdle, on which is
stamped the Stars and Stripes, Miss Column
bia has been portrayed by an artist stand
ing erect and with drawn sword defying the
on rushing Bolshevists with murder in their
eyes and hell in their hearts, Inscribed
under the whole she is quoted as saying, 81
Will Protect Her." It's touching as we'll
as pathetic picture and as one gazes on it his
bosom swells all up with pride and he ex-
claims aloud: "Land of the free and home Of
the brave! Long live the Republic of the
United States, the protector of the weak and
the feeder Of the worlds hungry" You
wipe your tear bedimmed eyes with a ker-
chief of the red, white and blue STYLE and
to sooth your sobbing heart reach for the
daily paper only to have all or greater
part of those patriotic eboutions rudely
shocked by reading on the front page thereof
under stud horse headlines detailed account
OF Negro burned at the stake while the
White men, women and even school children,
the city schools having been dismissed for
the celebration, fight over the charred re-
mains of the patriotically consumed victim
for souvenirs Of the occasion, then it dawns
upon you that Miss Columbia s love for
humanity is only for the suffering in a
foreign land and that her charity does not
begin at home.
THAT FATEFUL FOURTH
One week ago our natal celebration was
in full swing and great time it was, every
one vieing with his neighbor to see which
could exhibit the greatest amount of enthu-
siasm. However, city officials had taken the
precaution to issue long and well worded
