w. H. Moseley, jr., represent
ing q great American bank, went
through Mexico TO see what he
yould see. This paragraph from
his report will interest you:
"The Mexican government haul
ed our train free Of charge while
in the republic. have never
seen a train run on better sched-
ule time"
The Mexican government can
own railroads and run them on
time. Why can't the United States
Government do that? Answer:
because the super-government,
which is organized finance, won't
allow it.
The International Reform Blu
reau, which wants birds to stop
singing, flowers to stop blooming
and human beings to sit indoors
4 and NOPE on Sunday. is actually
taking itself seriously.
: The gentlemen need to be told
, what the old lady in the English
, public house told the bartender
as he put water beside her glass
of gin: Young man, have trou-
BILE enough without drinking wa
ter"
The people of this country,
after the war, the protiteers and
q few other things, have trouble
/ enough without being told that
they cannot take a deep breath, or
1 hit a golf ball, or watch moving
5 picture or baseball game on the
seventh day.
The Bible says that on the sew
enth day God ended His work
which He had made; and He
RESTED on the seventh day from
all HIS work which He had made.
"And God blessed the seventh
day and sanctified it,"
There. is nothing in the Bible to
show that God BORED himself on
the seventh day, and there Is moth
I ing to show that he wants his
creatures, whose lives are hard
enough already, to add day of
unnecessary boredom to six days
of hard work.
And, anyhow, when the Lord set
apart the seventh day, the idea
was that Adam and Eve would
behave themselves, and have all
4 the seven days in the week with
out work or worry.
, 1t was the snake that caused the
/ trouble, brought in the clothing
Z Industry, condemned man to earn
his bread by the sweat of his brow
and caused the woman's sentence:
"In sorrow thou shalt bring forth
children"
! If anybody is to be Gagged up
and miserable on Sunday, it ought
IT, be the snake, not DESCENDANTS
= the female victim of his wiles.
4 Allan A. Ryan, whom the stock
exchange cornered after he had
cornered the stock exchange, will
have his interests directed by
Samuel Untermyer, and those in
iterests will be DIRECTED.
Wonderful things an able law
yer can do. Untermyer would
have directed the camel through
the eye of the needle, first direct
ing him to a hardware store that
carried needles of the right size.
\ A good lawyer is good thing,
but the best thing for Allan Ryan
would be to sit down and write
now for publication, after the
fashion of Tom Lawson, what he,
Ryan, knows about Wall Street
methods. After the second in
stallment some mysterious force
would pick up Ryan and his finan-
cial problem and gently watt them
over the chasm to safe high
ground. Like the gambler caught
cheating, the stock exchange
would say, II know it, but l don't
like to be told about it."
! Mrs. Ewing, Red Cross worker
4 of Cleveland, says that poor girls
4 wearing cotton stockings are os-
tracized socially in high school.
She had to take her daughter away
from the Cleveland public school
and send her to school where
plain clothes and cotton stockings
were considered no disgrace.
/ Foolish parents in Cleveland and
elsewhere, through stupidity and
misguided affection for their chill
dren, are laying the foundation of
unhappiness for those children in
years to come.
That child in school should de-
pend for its "social respectability,"
not on the inside of it's own head,
but on stockings made of the in
sides of a silkworm, is a dismal
comment on American democracy.
