! Railroad Crossing, Wis.
/ Dear Sir: In recent issue of The
| Wisconsin Tobacco Reporter | notice
you have named committee to settle
the great world problems. 1t is very
/ strong one but | think it can be inn
improved on. There is Isaac Abraham
son, a splendin choice, but you know he
will never stand hitched or pull pound
without Carl Schmidt at his side, but if
you put these two together as team
they are world beaters. They fear no
one and in stand up give and take de-
| bate they challenge the world, and you
can throw in Lloyd George and Glenn
enceau, the French tiger, for good
measure.
Then there is C. o. Tellefson aud T.
D. Larson, both Of them exceptionally
strong men, but little erratic and hot
headed | would suggest O. P. Nelson
| to act with them He is easily the
greatest pacifer and stabilizer you
ever saw
Suppose Mr. Aorahamson and Mr.
Schmidt should be deep into the mys-
teries of the Shantung question or the
far Eastern question and Mr.. Tellefson
! and Mr.. Larson should get to hairpull-
| log (and we know that both have plenty
| Of hair, Mr.. Nelson could easily calm
their turbulent spirits and settle them
| to work with the head of the committee.
AS we know the temperance question
| is agitating. the world and calls for
prompt solution, think this committee
| is peculiarly fitted to settle that ques-
ton also, as every one Of these gentle
men has his feet firmly set on the
water wagon.
Senator Lenroot might be all right
but there is grave question whether he
| is big enough for the Job, for be it re-
membered that men big enough to
serve on this committee are very scarce
| indeed
As for Townley, we can only say that
| if these men are up to their usual form
all the great world problems will be
settled long before ToWnley's Jail term
expires. There is nothing slow about
any of them.
John Norgord can be dismissed, as
widowers have other matters to think
of besides world problems and more
important to himself personally.
Mr.. Krasey, cannot emphasize too
strongly the Importance of getting this
matter before President Harding at
once All mankind is in the throes of
agony and suspense. Never before
have SO many grave questions pressed
for solution, and never before have
men of such exceptional qualifications
been ready at hand and willing to serve.
Get this thing through and you will be
considered one of the greatest bene-
factors of all times though u. r. Kra-
sey. Very respectfully.
j. Inleggen.
