WHO'S LOONEY NOW?

DR.. Jose D. Sena, specialist in mental diseases,
"brains" of the Normal University, rght-hand to
the supreme court and pernicious organization
politician has had the editor Of the Journal under
observation. He has announced his verdict. He
saws the editor is insane. So, there! The whole
matter Is settled.
Jose is sane. He feels sure Of it, Being an ex-
pert in medicine education, law and politics. his
verdict goes" He is sane and we are insane
If DR.. sena is sane, confess that we must
be trifle "off" Our mental processes are GER
tainly different from his We take it that Dr. Sena
was speaking as an alienst and political expert and
not ON behalf Of his supreme court, when he an
nounced our doom. We do not know that he even
consulted these eminent gentlemen before passing
Judgment We suspect that he did not
DR. Sena goes farther. He tells the public just
the degree of insanity. 1t Is so violent that we
ought to be in the insane asylum Now we expect
people to step into the gutter when they pass US
on the street Evidently we are dangerous anu
the public safety" demands that we be taken in
hand and restrained We suspect that the whole
hand of political gangsters entirely agree with him.
On second thought perhaps he did consult with
millionaire member of the supreme court who eX-
pected a while ago that we would soon be under
control"
I'm to this point DIR. Sena expressed no malice
II was merely the unbiased opinion Of great men
tai specialist uninfluenced by any emotion May
bei
insane We should be in the insane asylum But
listen! We should be IN the insane Asylum "' ~
Vegas.
Now pray tell what have we ever done to Dr.
lose that leads him to want to put us in this par
ticuIar insane asylum, presided over by DE- hosei-
uold expert In measuring whiskey and selling
tractors? Are we insane that 1t Is necessary 10
feed us on peas too hard to mash with FORK
We demur We might go peacefully to some In
fact inst To r.
might go to almost any insane asylum But the
ono at Las Vegas-never! We are not that insane
Dr. sena based his judgment upon our saying
that a janitor at the Normal University had oeen
arrested charged with manufacturing and seiiins
whiskey and our added opinion that board oil
inquiry ought to look into the cause OF the IRE at
the Normal, which had been casually attributed TO
"a defective flue" The Doctor said our janitor
story was dirty and untrue"
May be it was. We do not know. Jonathan II.
wagner president of the Normal and political
protege Of DR.. Sena told US about it. But perhaps
Mr. Wagner is liar. Jose says that he IS II
natural differences are to be taken
No investigation OF the cause Of the fire was
necessary Dr. Jose said He said that we were
crazy for thinking so. Now the Baptist church at
las Vegas has burned. The fire looks incendiary
President Wagner is reported to have received
anonymous letters saying that other buildings tenn
porarily used by the University will be burned
Everybody is a board of inquiry now. The whole
community is excited. Our opinion OF the need OF
investigation seems to be fully shared by most
other people. Perhaps everybody is going insane
We will ask DR.. sena about them. The people may
well be careful. The Doctor may sentence them
to the awful fate to which he assigned us.
An insane man once said to a experimenting
physician who had done foolish thing: 'Whos
looney now" We are too tender-hearted to ask
such question.
We suggest that the supreme court can insure
ITS peace of mind in the next few weeks by advising
their political appointee to hold his tongue.
