Step up, Ladies and Gentlemen. and
meet Investigator No. 25H. He has
leading role in this installmenr
If this farcc-tragedy had not its
serious side. l should wish tOr thc
style of Alice-in-W Wonderland. That
master of grotcsluc dreams. Sir John
Tcnniel. who drew for Jewish Carroll
the pic, urcs we all know of the White
Rabbit. the March Hare and the Chcs-
hire Cat. would exactly meet our pur-
pose.

When, last month, l exhibited Clc
contemporaries that We're forged to
get even with the people who were

doings claim priority and the Protocols

25H ald other heroes appear in their
brilliant role of protecting the coun-
try against thinkers of the type of
Miss Jane Adams, Col. House ana
Mr.. Justice Brandeis.
Let the reader keep in his gigantic
brain the fact that it is not the Jews
primarily who are being defended in
this exposure. Unsuspected by Ford
himself, there exists a special law Of
history that when you start to persc-
cute one race or religion YOU newt
able begin crusade against the prin-
ciple of freedom itself. Hence always
the drive against Jews becomes Il

day. thinkers in Paris divide people |
as pro-Dreyfus and anti-Drcyfus. The |
famous case has long since lost its |
original significance of forged evil |
dence against Jew. 1t has long |
since come to stand rather for the
acid test of liberalism. The anti |
Dreyfusites mean the standpItters and |
militarists and monarchists; the Drey- |
fusitcs, the uncompromising liberals. |
So it is with the Beiliss case. That |
red up to believe Jewish ritual re-
cuires Christian blood is not the main
point. The point is the mob-psychol- |
ogy used by the Tsars to keep the
masses in subjection.

Pseudo-dcctcctives inevitably combin

The Ford-Daniel sleuth, 25I. reported
against the Civil Liberties Union Il

"Our fight is to help secure unre
stricted liberty of speech, press and
assemblagc. as the only sure guaranty
of orderly progress.
"It is time enough for the rightful
purpose of civil government for its Of

"Thc struggle for freedom today
ccnters around the activities of the or
ganized workers and farmers. Every

sues of free speech, free press. and
