Let Us Talk 1t Over

Well, dear sinner friends, this is
The Fool-Killer.
How does it set on your stomach?
If you like it you a get more at
headquarters.
The FooEKiller is not even a forty
'1eventh cousin to any other paper on
earth.
1t stands in a class by itself, and its
field is as broad as the English
language.
This paper wears no bell, muzzle,
collar nor halter.
You can put that down to start with.
I am the fellow who works at the
p~ump-handle On this rag of reform.
never travelled any to speak Of,
but I have read a great deal, and
have thunk some.
And then I started The Fool-Killer,
lust to quiet my nerves and to keep
the old press from getting rusty.
From the seclusion of these wooded
hills there will go forth each month
Il bundle Of literary dynamite that
will shake the rotten foundations Of
society and cause the church of
Mammon to at least turn over in its
sleep.
The Fool-Killer is a monthly MUS
tard plaster for the blood-boils of
Society, Church and State.
It is written with a red-hot poker
dipped in razor-soup.
1t rides the devil a-straddle without
a saddle, and spurs him at every lope.
1t is sailed with wit, peppered with
hnmOr. and seasoned with saroasm
Every line cuts like a whip, and
every word raises a blister.
IF you are d fool you had better not
subscribe for The Fool-Killer. If you
are wise you will, and that settles it.

Reduced Rates

Well, folkses, l have decided to
risk my chances on putting The Fool
Killer back to it's old price. Print
paper is still costing me twice as
much as it did before the war; but
the general trend Of prices is down
ward, and I want to give my readers
the benefit Of all possible reduction,
because I know times are hard and
money scarce.
So please tell everybody you see
and send word to the rest that they
can now get The Fool-Killer again 81
the old price-25 cents for a single
subscription, or Is cents each in clubs
of five or more at one time.
Now please rush in the subs like
you did in the old days, and I'll do
my level best to keep 'em awake.

Why Not a Secretary of Peace?

In the city of Washington, just
a short distance from the White
House, there is a great and mag
nificent stone building called the
War and Navy Building. 1t looks
more like a mountain or a great
cliff of some sort than it does like
a building.
The inside of that building is
working alive with the diplomatic
and business end of Uncle Sans
war making machinery. Its very
name presupposes that var is one
of the important and desirable
things that men must engage IN.
And so they have a Secretary
of War; And he has a whole
army of assistants, and they all.
live there in a sort of "I-dare-you-
to.touch-me'' atmosphere, all busy
as bees working out plans for the
nice, healthy wars that are SO
necessary and so pleasant.
But if we are a Christian nation
and desire peace, I wonder why
we don't have a Peace Building.
and a Secretary of Peace?
When u slick and oily officials
come out and talk to us common
plugs they pretend that they want
to give US peace. They pretend
that they are working for our in
terests. And we are such hang
taxed, wooden-headed idiots that
we can't see through the hypo-
critical mask of mock-piety that
covers their devilish mugs.
Why, man alive, if the govern
ment really wanted peace, it
would convert it's War Building
into a Peace Building. 1t would
swap off it's gold-braided, sword
rafting Secretary of War and
get a real, true-hearted, Christ
following Secretary of Peace.
If the government would work
as hard preparing for peace as it
works preparing for war, it could
have peace. But any fool knows
that we are not going to have
peace as long as we spend all of
our energies and all of our none
for war.
Why don't a Sunday School
have a Secretary of Cussing?
Why don't a missionary society
have a Secretary of Idolatry?
Why don't a clothing store have
a Secretary of Nakedness?
Why don't a bankers associa-
ton have a Secretary of Poverty?
Why don't a great university
have a Secretary of Ignorance?
All these things would be just as
reasonable and just as right as
for a peace-loving nation to have
a Secretary of War.
Now can you look me in the eve
and say that [ haven't told the
truth? r
