DEVIL WORKING
OVERTIME

When one comes to think of it,
what is to be expected of a lot of
NUTS like the majority of the peo-
pie of this world are? Just look the
field over and you can understand
why hell is popping, and the devil is
working overtime.
In India, for instance, there are
three hundred millions of people, a
vast majority of whom are densely
ignorant, filled to the hide with super
stition and religious fanaticism, and
who would take pleasure in sticking
a knife into your back if you dared
to intimate that theosophy, %reincar-
nation of the soul, and a lot of other
tommyrot was not gospel truth.
Then over in China we find four
hundred million more, slant-eyed
Mongolians, eating rice and rats,
burning punk to a cross-eyed joss,
and living more like vermin than hui
man beings.
OF the six hundred millions in Rus
STA, about ninety per cent of them
cannot read or write. and have little
more intelligence than cattle. They
have temporarily quit killing other
people in order to have more time to
kill themselves. There anarchy and
chaos prevail.
The Turks, Bulgarians, Arabs, Mon
tenegrins, Rumanians and dozens OF
other nationalities across the sea, not
to mention the millions of black saw
ages of Africa ana other parts, are
all about the same-ignorant, super
stitious, dirty, unsanitary, jabbering
half-wits, who would steal 2 red-hot
stove, or cut your heart out for a
dollar and nix-bits.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Opposition

goods as all wool may be telling the

that the servants who should bring
him must be very careful to see that
the cab doors were kept shut, SO he
would not catch cold. Accordingly,
this was done, and we are happy to
state that up to the last accounts
