II When will we see the last of the
inspired bunk about Russia! Per-
Ihaps when the propagandsts run out
Iof ink and wind.
Borah tells US that the choice in
Russia is between the soviets and a
IIreturn to czarism. Did the Senator
never hear of democracy, which
might be third choice? Did he
never hear that the bolsheviks came
IIinto power over the dead body of
Representative government smashed
lIby bolshevik guns? All, strange are
the ways of perversitv!
H Foreign Affairs" high-priced
duplication for high ,brows, allows
the writer Of its Leading. article to
say that IN Russia the
power of the state passed into the
control of laboring class that had
mot the slightest familiarity, through
practice, with the exigencies OF gov
Ilernment."
Il This will surprise many who never
knew that in Russia government
passed into the hands of any laboring
class. Well-informed persons have
lit that the government passed into
the hands of clique of despots who
make no pretense of giving the labor
ling class any voice.
II When Lenin says Russia has "a
IIdistatorship" he knows what he is
talking about. Why this continued
flow OF untruth?
II Down in Patagonia they have found
LA skull that is million years old.
llThat interests all scientists. Until
Ithis discovery no skull more than a
half million years old had been found.
II All of this may be true, but there
lare plenty of skulls on living shoul-
lIders that, so far as the public can tell
have been dead longer than the gen.
Itleman from Patagonia.
H Down in Texas the professors SUBJ
Elected the girl students to an intelll-
lIgence test. Girls didn't do so well.
lIThey challenged the professors to
island for an intelligence test. The
professors didn't do as well as the
llgirl students. Somehow this reveals
la condition that a great many per-
| sons have long suspected.
II A few days ago a "human ay" fell
lilo stories and died. If he had come
Ildown alive he would have got 500
ia thousand watched him climb and
lIfall and less than 10 went to his fun
leral.
SO goes fame; so goes the human
mass. The king is dead; long live the
neXt king.
But suppose some human fly coulc
climb up bit higher and stick there
for look at what is going on al
around.
He'd see aliens being struggled il
on the Atlantic seaboard. He'd SET
them handled exactly as the coasta
rum runners handle their bottled
goods. Question is: Which yields
most profit?
He'd see railroads still Gripping
Ialong, losing money instead of ending
ltheir lockout and putting good msr
back on the job.
He'd see newspapers printing lies
Has nonehalantly as ladies wear roses
He'd see lame ducks waddling int
IlSoft jobs. People vote 'em out of one
Ijob; political machines put 'em int
better ones.
That brings up a thought. A lot Of
the lame ducks are out on the ocean
lgoing TO far places, like the Cana
lIZone and Alaska. Do they swim
there? No, these ducks ride in fin,
boats, going on missions" Mostl!
1.-THE missions" are to keep lamI
ducks from going hungry. Some
times a touch of lameness is a grea
thing.
Let us look no further. Spring il
looming. All torch bearers ought t
lget out and roll up the membership
