Percy Stickney Grant. And it is go
ing fast according to the doctor, who
is making it quite hot for that insti-
tuition even tho he believes the public
is growing cold towards it. We COM
mend the activities of DR.. Grant in
disposing of the internal regions,
hoping that after he dethrones Old
Nick he will join Bishop William
Montgomery Brown in "Banishing the
Gods from the skies and capitalism
from the earth"
Herbert Hoover, Secretary Of Com
merce, denounces as false the charge
that he turned over to a friend the
salmon fisheries Of Alaska. Now,
what else could you expect? All the
crooks do that. Did not Hoover deny
aiding the counter-revolutionar of
Russia against the Soviet government
and of giving them one million dol
lars out of the relief funds granted
by congress for the feeding Of the
famine stricken people Of Russia. But
documentary evidence recently I'M
earthed in Washington proved the
charges true and convicts Hoover OF
being a liar as we'll as a political
crook. Hoover in rebuttal says that
special interests prevent legislation
to save food fish. It's a neat come
back. Unfortunately for Hoover he
has been caught lying so often that
nobody would believe him even if by
some accident he did happen to tell
the truth.
You may remember that when
Ludendorf took part in the burlesque
tap room revolution of the Bavarian
Fascist he threw himself fiat on the
ground when somebody's pistol went
off accidentally. History almost re-
peats itself. There was a reaction
airy meeting advertised in Berlin re-
Gently at which Ludendorf was
billed as the principal speaker. The
General issued a provocative mani
festo calling on his followers to fight
all foreign and domestic foes par
ticularly the Communists. The latter
came in large numbers to the meet
ing ready to give him an opportunity
to fight or eat his words. The Gen.
eral prudently, if not CALAMITY,
stayed away. The Communists
cleaned up his followers and peace
once more reigned in Berlin.
Peace conferences come and peace
conferences go but under capitalism
preparations for the next war always
go on. Secretary of State Hughes
gloried in the success of the Wash.
ington Conference which resulted in
Naval agreement between the
United States, Britain and Japan on
the basis of 5-5-3 program. We are
now informed, however, by our
large navy" enthusiasts that this
country is outgunned by even japan
and is in quite serious condition.
Lord Balfour, the tricky, British
diplomat fooled the hick American
statesmen and got away with the
gravy. In speed, gun elevation and
protective armoring the floating
fortresses of Americas potential
enemies are far ahead of the United
States ships. The workers are de-
luded into the belief that we can
have peace if only the capitalists
can sit down together and take strong
injections of applied Christianity. The
Communists insist that we can have
v.sI ~ MI ol
ism and the capitalists and abolish
the profit system that is the cause of
all modern wars.
Andre Tardieu, a Clemenceau
henchman, was addressing large
crowd in one of the Paris suburbs,
when a Communist candidate for cleo
ton appeared. The workers immedi-
ately called on the Communist to
come to the platform and address
them. He politely informed Tardieu
that he would like to comply with the
demands of the workers. The bour-
geois boor, instead of acceding to the
workers request kicked savagely at
the Communist, whereupon the work
ers seized Tardleu and brought their
boots vigorously in contact with the
fleshiest part Of his anatomy, throw
ing him from the platform. While the
scrimmage was on, Andre Marty, no.
ted Communist rebel, sprang to the
platform and addressed the crowd
while the workers were hopping up
the bourgeois hooligans who raised
the rumpus.
Mrs. William Jennings Bryan is a
paralytic, but she has faith in the
Lord. SO far, God has not cured her,
but that does not faze her any. When
she generates enough faith in God the
cure will be affected, she believes.
Even if she should never be cured that
will not alter her devotion or weaken
her faith. She will take all the blame
