HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO
STAND FOR IT?

The American people are the most
patient people on earth, evidently, or
they would not stand for the brand of
politics now being played in Wash
ington- fiddling while Rome burns.
The Senate of the United States is
playing politics openly, sparring for
positions for the 1920 election. The
President is touring the country, try
ing to straighten out China and the
muddlad affairs in the Balkans, while
this country is seething mass of
discomfort, ready to flare up at the
least provocation.
Politics be d.! 1t is not poll
tics the American people want, but
something tangible. so the country
can settle down to it's pre-war status.
So an honest working man can make
an honest wage, wage that will-keep
his family respectfully and still leave
little balance for a rainy day, so
capital will have an incentive to in
vest and know that their investment
is safe.
/. w. Wism and Bolshevism is run
ming rampant and unchecked, while
the men in Washington sit idly by and
spar for votes.
One thing is certain, these men who
are SO busy playing politics now will
have plenty of time to play whatever
they want after the next election.
We need men now, not politicians.

ARE WE SUCkERS-WE ARE!
No truer words were ever spoken
than by old p. 7. Barnum when he
said the people liked to be hunbug-
ged. Just why they like to be num-
bugged is not apparent unless it be
true that sucker is born every min
ute, most of them twins and none ever
die. Start any kind of fool fad and
the fooler it is the more people will
run after it, join in it and give up
money for it. Every once in while
some alleged new Christ or Messiah
comes along and starts up new re-
ligious cult, has his followers wear
long hair, eat nothing but dried
prunes and baled hay, and run around
in dew-bespangled fields by moon
light with nothing on but gee
string, and first thing you know the
mutt has all their money and has
skipped to Timbucktoo with the pref
tiest and plumpest blonde in the
bunch, leaving the rest with nothing
but poverty, experience and batch
of illegitimate children.

some handbills tomorrow, printed in

for grand mass meeting next Sun
day night as the cock crowed and the
bells tolled the midnight hour and
the graves gave up their dead, and
would appear then and there dressed
only in cloak of righteousness and
elucidate to the multitude of deluded
and miserable sinners of this mum
dane sphere plan which the angel
of the Lord had come down off of
Mount Lassen in a combination auto
mobile and aeroplane of fire out of
the eruptive crater and whispered in
to your ample ear, there would not be
room in the building to hold the tar
nation idiots who would show up, and
when you passed the hat for the pur-
pose of buying new tires for the an
gels snorting juggernaut of flame
you'd get more coin than by editing
this great family newspaper for
year, unless the police or someone
with grain of sense put in an ap-
pearance and ran you into the nut
factory.
