luton on its hands. Mawruss.7 Abe
Potash declared as he sl,io.med the
headlines in tho morning papers.
What makes you think that Mex
leo IS an old estah ished and well set
tied government, Abe ?" Norris Perl
mutter asked.
Germany ard Hunga do" Abe
replied. which up 10 the time this
here Gen. BlarqIet lands the ether
day In Mexico. people was begi ming
to say that why couldn't Germany
have one last revolution and stick
10 Il and LOOK at Scxico the way she
settled down, not having had a sin
gle revolution 20 speak OF since Jan.
18th. 1919"
Well. I think the reason why the
Mexicans amt l.,.d a revoUt!t n In so
long isn't because they al int want
TO, Abe" Morris said. but because
IL has taken them all tEat time TO
learn the technical terms. You see. a
really and truly up-tO-date revOlu-
ton couldn't be sun eff nowadays
Abe, unless IL is one Of them Bolshe-
vlk type revolutions. and in order 10
get the right Kind OF newspaper pub
licity for IL, the management has got
TO know enOush Russian not 10 say
soviet when t.c'y l-ean mir. Also
bet yer when { comes TO a Eemstvo
the Mexicans don't know even now
whether you dance it 10 guitar and
cascanet accompaniment or eat with
garlic and Chi S. &c %
"A feller could make quite some
money nowadays from tegching Rus
sian by mail 20 revolutionary social
ists," Abe comme -trcd.
THAT amt necessary in this coun-
try. Abe" Morris said, '.,ecause the
bolshevik govemment has sent over
here a feller BY the name Martens TO
give cOu SO "a BOlshevism TO
American wOrl,ingmen."
And did oar government let him
land Abe asl.et
Seemingly they did" Morris re-
piled. which Is pretty Ii 1oIal Of our
government when you consider that
right now we got Amerio"l soldiers
in Russia which IS hghtins bolshe-
vism."
TITS even mere than liberal. it's
crazy" Abe said, because while /
believe in free speech. 'yunderstand.
boIshevik speeches amt free by a
whole lot. Orec in HUI gary they
became payable in thirty sixty and
ninety days and he OILY people
which amt ruined by tHem is the
makers and endors2rs."
You are right about the makers.
Abe" Morris commented For the
most part they are "A bunc5 OF no ac-
count Foreigners which all they risk
by making sucn speeches is hoarse-
ness. y'understand. but some of the
endorsers of such speeches comes
from the best roCrican fomiues. and
IL the time ever comes when there
should be "a li.tle tcmpor.ry bolshe-
vik trouble 10y foreigners In this
country who have been encouraged
by the liberal attitude of the govern
ment 70 think that the worst which
could happen 10 them would be ten
dollars or ten days, y'tmderstand.
them endorsers would got TO pay the
same like any othcI decent respect
able people vh!cn amt boisheviks
Take for example in Hungary and
the protelaria:s les making The mid
die class give up their bathrooms TO
the working people every Saturday
night"
But the prote,ariats in New York
has all got batbr.1 1nls in heir tene-
ment houses, Mavruss," Abe pro-
tested.
II know they have. hut they'll
probably figure thIt why should they
trouble themselves 20 emTty the coal
out OF their bathtuts, which is what
them protelariats now u.s. hathtubs
for. Abe, just TO save the middle
class the Inconvenience of changing
their bath night from Saturday to
Friday" Norris said. "but at the
same time. Abe, il don't look to me
that a country which has got the
modern convenience OF America IS
going 20 go bo!sheVik for the next
few hundred Yeas anyway because
10 IS my idee that wnat makes a peo-
pie become bolstCviks is the lack OF
good plumbing and savings hank ac-
counts. and rather as have the pri-
vacy OF their bathrooms and THEN
savings accounts invaded, the big ma
jority OF the American pvot.le would
declare the United States Of America
an obsolete monarchy with Ivan d
1vanOvitch, alias John d. Rocka
fellar. Jr. as The first czar. under
stand me"
Well, If I would be the United
States government. wouldn't let a
bOlshevik land exactly" Abe de-
clared.
What do you mSan-you wouldn't
let him land eVact,y." Morris asked
I mean what I say" Al e said. 81
would let him pretty nearly land and
then tip up the gang plank Also.
Mawruss, II I could be the United
States government, would allow
free speech out not free speakers
understand, which I would make
public speaking a profession the
same like lawyers, dentists or doc
tors. because l. nobody could be a
public speaker without taking a four
years course and then getting H.
censed TO practice as a puHHc speak
er after passing an examination
