INCONSISTENCY
(By John Bush)

\Dy JOIlIl DuSII
In olden times there were men who
thought they could discover some way
to turn the baser metals into gold,
and old gray-haired men trembling
on the verge of the grave were search
ing for the fountain of eternal youth,
but without success.
There used to be mechanics who
tried to invent perpetual motion by
combinations of wheels, shifting
weights and rolling balls, but some
how the machine would never quite
run.
Though we are supposed to be liv-
ing in more enlightened age, some
of the theories advanced by the sup
posedly learned men are equally as
illogical as those of the oblivion past.
When the writer notes some of the
threadbare theories in the supposedly
free press as regards prosperity and
the general welfare of the nation, the
words of the orator at the funeral of
julius Caesar seem most fitting:
80 Judgment thou art fled to british
beasts,
"And men have lost their reason"
The press has for months past been
telling the public that we are on the
eve of the greatest prosperity we
have witnessed. They tell US that the
President and other government Of
fcials are calling together men Of
frarcial power and influence to dis
cuss ways and means to bring about
prosperity and happiness to the des-
titute people of the country. The re-
suit of the many get-together meet
irgs sofar reminds the writer of the
ancient fable of the animals.
There was once a frightful rain
and all the animals held a con-
vention to see whose fault it was, and
the fox nominated the lion for chair
man. The wolf seconded the motion
and the hyena said that suits. When
the convention was called to order the
fox was called upon to confess hi"
sins. He stated, however, that it
would be much more appropriate for
the lion to commence Erst. There-
upon the lion said: 81 am not conscious
of having committed evil 1t is true
l have devoured a few men, but for
what other purpose were men made ."
AID they all cheered, and were sa;: y
fiel The fox gave his views ucHn
the goose question and wolf adraitte'!
that he had devoured sheep, and oc-
casionally had killed shepherd, "but
all acquainted with the history of my
family will bear me out when / say
that shepherds have been the enc
mics of my family from the begin
ming of the world" Then way in the
rear arose a simple donkey with a
kind of Abrahamic countenance. He
said, "T expect it's me. l had eaten
nothing for three days except three
thistles. / was passing monastery,
the monks were at mass. The gates
were open leading to a yard full of
sweet clover. I knew it was wrong,
but l did slip in and I took a mouth
full, but my conscience smote me and
l went out" All the animals shouted,
"He's the fellow" and in two minutes
they had his hide on the fence.
The philanthropic conventions, as
they are styled, of which we read are
conducted in much the same manner.
When the convention is called to
order the first question is: Gentle
men, who is the cause of the business

Beat Up Packing House Pickets

st. Paul, Minn.-Militia men, sup
posed to be doing guard duty in
South St. Paul, beat up eleven strik-
ing butcher workmen a week ago Sat-
urday morning, it has become known.

heavy riot clubs which were used
freely, according to the strikers.

DraY load after dray load of partly
decayed watermelons were hauled to

the supply here is several times the

Payment of Mcdonald
Legacy Asked at Once

Chief Justice Walter 1. Mccoy in
Equity Court yesterday took under
advisement the petition of James
Mcdonald. jr-, son of James Nc
Donald. Standard Oil magnate. to
void a clause in the will of the elder
Mcdonald, which. it is claimed, ties
up the estate longer than the Dis
trict of Columbia code allows.
The Mcdonald estate was origi-
nally valued at about $1,000 900, but
since the payment OF bequests and
annuities ii has shrunk to a little
over s2.500, 900. which the son wants
distributed to himself and his two
children Immediately rather than
wait for thirty years or longer.
