Quincy Todd on Censorship

this was an idea that they had
pounded into them in school and
II is q hard one to live down.
The only American citizens who
do not believe this q free coun-
try are the censors and reform
ers. II they ever admitted this
Is q free country their occupa-
ton would be gone.
'Tf the average woman could
plan her bathing suit to please
herself 1t Is more than probable
that she would get up a nifty
looking thing that would not
shock anybody, because she Is
not naturally immodest. But as
soon as some dismal looking Pur-
itan brother comes along and
tells her she has got to do so-and-
so, she will go as far as running
down to the beach in a fg leaf
Just to prove to him that he has
nothing to say about It. The
censors don't know how to
handle women.
"There is q little bit Of the
spirit Of freedom lurking yet in
the average head. When the
sour-doughs try to take this
away, people Immediately get too
free. 1t Is very dangerous to
stir up the animals. 1t is a good
plan to let, freedom enough alone.
The man who tries to take it
away entirely defeats his own
purpose by about s76 per cent"
"A I said before" says Elias
Q. Higginbotham, II fgger that
the girls might use little more
goods In these here bathing suits,
but, at that, they do not shock
me SO very much. In fact, I do
not pay much attention to them"
"And neither does any other
level-headed reglar feller," says
Quincy. "It must be q queer
sort Of q guy who gets shocked
at any such thing. I have not
seen any reglar guy turn around
to look at any short skirt in a
good many years."
"No," says Elias Q. Higgin-
botham, "they do not look at the
skirt"
"At any rate" says Quincy,
"any bird who gets all fused up
about the way the women dress
has got something the matter
with his head. II nobody what
ever paid any attention to them,

accord.
"To suit some people the
proper bathing suit for a young
lady would consist Of the follow
ing: A rubber diving suit, sun
bonnet, set Of furs, red-fiannel
underwear, woolen stockings,
bathrobe reaching to the ground,
felt boots shat reach to the hip
and on top Of all this a portable
vapor bath cabinet"
"You say" says Elias Q. Hig-
ginbotham, that these here CEN
sors do not handle the women
right Now, I have been around
for quite a spell Of years and I
have not yet happened to bump
against any bird Of the male sex
who could handle the feminine
worth a darn, ! heard a lot Of
wise-crackers downtown say they
can do this trick, but / fail to see
them make any such crack
around home. I have seen many
q brave guy down In the drug
store who eats fire and bites nails
in two and can bend a horseshoe
straight with his bare hands, but
around home he Is a regular
house pet. I suppose now, with
your vast experience and your
store of information on all sub
jects, coupled with your natural
grace and diplomacy, you have
discovered a way to handle wo-
men. II you have, It is your
duty to your sex to spill same,
and give others the information
which they have been needing
for several thousand years. I
don't suppose there Is another
man In the world who knows this
secret but yourself"
'You are wrong" says
Quincy. "There are plenty Of
them that know 1t, and those that
don't know It are most generally
ldumbbells. But the great secret
about the thing is not so much
knowing how to do It as keeping
your mouth shut about it. I
never yet knew a great guy that
kept his pan open all the time.
The man who knows how to
handle women never brags
about it, because as soon as he
begins letting on a lot about it,
his power vanishes.

that you can handle women, she

them bathing SUITS" says Elias
Q. Higginbotham. IT think they
might be q little moro goods In
'em."
That's Q matter Of TASTE"
says Quincy. Personally, I have
no squawk whatever about these
bathing suits 30 long as no wife
or sister Of mine gets into one
Of them. But, even II you don't
like them, what Is the use Of
censoring theml
IT believe they begin censor
ing these bathing suits back In
1875, the year the Centennial
was held In Philadelphia In
them days a bathing suit Is about
a. immodest as a Salvation Army
uniform. You cannot tell at that
time whether lady moves
around on legs or on castors, but
somebody gets the idea that these
suits are q bit too scant and they
are censored. There doesn't
happen to be anything else to
censor at that time. The result
Is that the next year the bathing
suits are about one inch shorter
than before they are censored.
They have been censored every
year since, and you can see for
yourself what they have come to.
Last year they are censored quite
violent by all the censors from
Savannah, Georgia, to Labrador,
and the result Is that the skirts,
II any, are six inches shorter than
last year and In most cases they
are left out entirely. This year
the bathing suits have been CEN
sored about to the extreme mini
mum.
'Tf these suits are censored
about once more, the bathing
beaches will be for ladies only,
and the only men allowed win be
the censors.
'Tf they are censored about
once more, the ladies will have to
stay In the water, and that will
spoil the bathing season entirely.
"There Is always some little
hesitancy In the Spring among
the fair sect, as they don't know
just how to have their bathing
suits made. They have to wait
for the returns from Atlantic
City. They don't know whether
to add more material or take off
more. Then the word comes
from Atlantic City that bathing
suits will be very carefully regu-I
lated. Then the wimmep all
yell: "Come on, girls, we have
been censored. Make the suits
scantier than last year
"But ! don't see why censor
ship always backfires like that"
says Elias Q. Higginbotham.
"The answer is because almost
every American citizen, including
the women as we'll as the men,
has an idea In the back Of his
head that this Is a free country.
OF course, they are mistaken, but

is one woman that you will never
handle again.
"The best thing to do with
your wife or your sweetheart or
any other woman which you wish
to manage or direct or personal
ly conduct, Is to make her think
you are a natural-born idiot on
the subject of women. Let her
think she is mystery you can
not solve. They eat that stuff
up. When they think that your
opinion on matters concerning
wimmen Is all wrong, you have
got the problem solved. The re-
formers could make a lot Of hay II
they were only jake to this trick"
Sure" says Elias Q. Higgin-
botham, "and it is just about as
clear to me as a glass of home
brew"
"Well, frinstance," says
Quincy. "You didn't know how
to handle your wife even when
you went to pick out your own
straw hat, did your And you
did not get the hat you wanted,
did your"
81 did not" said Elias @. Hig-
ginbotham. II got the hat she
wanted me to get. I pointed out
the one / wanted, but It didn't do
any good. She told me I looked
like a puddle-jumper in it."
That's where you made your
mistake. Why did you pull a
bone like pointing out the one
you wanted?"
"What else should q sane man

Point out the one she wanted
you to have and say you want
that one"
"Then I would land right where

make you take the other one for
two reasons, one being that she
fggers you have got rotten taste,
anyhow, and the other being that

"Simple enough" says Quincy
Todd. 81 would tell them they

less. The next day there would
be sixteen inches added to every
skirt and they would all be wear
ing fur coats for hoods. They
would figger that they were put

point.
We are talking of an actuality,
q concrete fact, not Of an ex-
pertinent or a theory unsweet-
ened by the purifying acid Of
achievement.
The slogan to-day is the big
thing in any business, any poll
tical or scientific adventure or
any activity which must enlist the
attention Of our boobilious and
strap-hanging population, for it
is the man who hangs to strap
who, In the last analysis, assists
our great artistic or commercial
enterprises to success; success, of
course, in every event, y meaning
the Doodle. ...... -.
Nowadays, when 1t is decided
to start a cleaning powder fac
tory, mopless dust plant or
bedbug exterminator laboratory,
the first thing to do is to select q
slogan. That Is the hardest part
of the trick. .~
It s customary to look over
the list Of slogans already in use
and see If one Of these cannot be
initiated closely enough to dodge
the copyright law and still snitch
some of the trade. II this is not
possible It Is necessary to invent
q new slogan-something snappy,
a projectile with sufficient dash
and verve to penetrate the solid
est reinforced concrete dome in
the country and explode therein,
thus awakening the patient to his
need Of, DR.. Dingwhizzle's Kidney
Pellets or the Patent Non-Refill-
able Mouse-Trap.
Walking q mile for a cigarette
Is nothing when compared to the
distance some people will walk
for other slogans.
Even, and we hesitate to say It,
they are using slogans in reli-
gion. Perhaps you couldn't call
it real religion. It is the syn
thetic religion, the bootleg kind,
that Is shouted by evangelists in
mildewed slang.
Reprehensible and futile
though 1t is, fence-board sdvertis-
ing seems to be coming back.
The religionists are using it
rather extensively for the presen-
tation Of cheer-up slogans.
On q tree near a very danger
Gus curve on q popular Long
Island automobile road recently
one Of the slip-horn and holy
jazz brothers posted this sign:
PREPARE TO MEET THY
GOD"
The mex day, perhaps quite by
chance, the highway commissioner
came along and posted another
sign, reading:
"DEToUR."
The automobile driver il thus
given a choice Of slogans.
"How WILL YOU PREPARE
YOUR SOULp screeches one
Of these fence-board slogans. On
the, board underneath Is neatly
printed;
TAKE THE NIGHT BOAT
TO ALBANY"
All Of which Is, Of course, ex-
tremely inconsequentisl and in
fact rather pitiful hot-weather
piffie, but 1t shows the trend of
the times and how the slogans
have so filled our waking mo-
ments that they are quarreling
with one another for precedence.
We have thus far taken the
slogan situation philosophically.
Slogans will never hurt you as
long as you don't take them ser
iously. Like hooch, they are
harmful only when swallowed.
But we are forced to take them
seriously now for the reason that
they are butting into national
politics. =.
There was . terrific battle
