The British CroWn

No American democrat need ggge because the British
labor party has refused to declare the royal family is
not necessary.
British democracy has stripped royalty of its ages
old prerogatves and privileges that it is almost solely
ornamental and all favor ornaments, the costier and
more unnecessary the better, with many of u.s.
The British crown is good deal like the comb of a
rooster 1t brightens ugly head and is good handle
for enemy ROSTERS to get hold Of Observe the number
Of perfectly good American democrats wearing side
whiskers cutie mustaches Behold our democratic
women wearing as head gear pretty nearly everything
from carrots cherries and grapes to the taends of ab
bits and mud-hens Verify, the love of the merely orna-
mental seems Unborn in all of us.
British loyalty to royalty is habit handed down thru
the centuries. The British could more get along with
out it than circus could make hit without an elephant

The Wea pom of Fools

Now comes word that a campaign of abuse is to be
launched against Henry Ford who is often mentioned now
adays presidential possibility. Charlie Hes one-time
chairman of the republican national committee, fires the
first peagun He calls Ford "a bag of gold That's very
very saucy and severe.
But what fortunate is Ford after ALL Not only is
he advertised by his loving friends but his efelected
enemies doing their worst which is the best for him.
Ford has thrived ridcule, potent and destroying

fat, politically. Indeed he may be forced into
the presidential in spite of hmsefforced by foe

Apparently the opposition to him. if it has any right of

chief character in this brilliant
proach the desert in its ingenuities
of torture through drought and sand
