"Dickie" and "Teddie"

Some folks may not understand the full signih
canoe of the fact testified to by aienists not sub
ject to the alien immigration law) that Dickie
bear" to bed with him.
This burlesque on the animal kingdom was born
and has lived saw-dust filed life, as a symbol Of
the rough and ready, bearish personality of Theo-
dore Roosevelt
Theodore Roosevelt was, of course, and remains
to many, the beloved 'Teddie" AS the $3.50 per
day alienist has testified, 'Dickie" is called
"Dickie" and not Orchard" because he is still,
emotionally, an irresponsible child, "from five to
seven years old" Doubtless the world will soon
understand what the Communists long have
known that Theodore Roosevelt was "Teddie" be
cause he was a case Of arrested mental develop.
ment, child. And child, aaeveryone knows is a
potential savage Certainly "Teddie" Roosevelt
was a spoiled child running amuck at the head
of an imperialist government The brutal treat
ment he accorded the central American republics
Of Panama and Columbia is eloquent testimony.
But further indication of what emotional
bond connects these two morons-to use the term
in its general and not in its scientific sense is seen
years old, he wrote essay depicting "Teddie'
Roosevelt as his 'ideal."
Now "Teddien Roosevelt is also the ideal of the
editor of The Chicago Tribune. This is strong
confederation for the theory of the defense put up
by Attorney barrow, that Loeb's murderous ten
dency is case of weird varieties of insanity. The
Trib. is both murderous and insane Except in
this case, where the defense millions make the
difference, the Trib. bowls for the hangman to
break the neck of any or woman who kills
without the proper approval of prestige, or for
defense" of american institutions" The Trib
une editor is Joseph M. Patterson, doubtless known
to his familiar friends as "little Joey"
They all believe in murder. They differ merely
in the means. The obscure moron, as any news
writer will aver, always uses "some heavy, blunt
instrument" The Trib. prefers to do it by crack
ing the victims neck with rope. "Dickie" Loeb
chose heavy chisel wound with tape to crush the
skull of young Franks "Teddiep Roosevelt, giving
the thing more care, evolved, as Commissioner OF
the New York Metropolitan Police, weighty club
ingeniously constructed so that it could be swung
on strikers skull either plain hickory or, by
pressing a BUTTON with a number Of terrible steel
spikes. If the picket line didn't yield for plain
hickory-or even if it would-the steel spikes
would bury themselves in the workers brain in the
most charming Roosevelt manner. Only because
other solder" people stopped him, did ''Teddie'
give up this weapons USE If "Dickie" had only
been a cop, or could have fought for his country
from behind a sugar kettle in Cuba, he would have
been good citizen or even a president "Dickie
should be good progressive party" candidate.

Precedent as Principle

Mayor Dever is, of course, 'friend of organized
labor" but just as side line he doesn't intend to
have any of the demands oforganized laborput into
effectif he can help it. The Structural Iron Work
ers' Union members, who are repairing the State
street bridge must not work overtime to finish the
job and clear traffic congestion, because, says
Dever eff they are allowed double pay for over
time, dangerous precedent would be set"
Considering the growing numbers OF unem-
ployed we can see no valid reason for overtime,
If the union does its duty by taking men into
the union as the city should take more into the
work. Neither can we see any reason for the
traffic congestion. We do not believe in overtime
and that is just the reason that we want to see it
penalized by making the employer pay double
when he forces workers to toll longer than the
minimum hours agreed upon.
Mayor Dever however, is not opposed to over.
time at ALL He is merely opposed to paying for it.
He fears that if the precedent is set of the city
paying one group of workers double pay for over
time, the other groups of city slaves working as
scrub-women, streetsweepers, underpaid 'white-
collar" clerks, ETC.. would use this prece-
dent against working more than the agreed hours
without they get more pay than straight time.
The principle" Of the thing is the same ''prin-
ciple" that makes bosses pay a scab twice as much
as a union man just to break the union. Mayor
Dever believes in overtime without pay, e., he be-
lieves that the eighthour day is all rot Mayor
Dever is no "friend Of organized labor"

Your paper reminds me of the Ap-
peal to Reason of Is years ago, just
as your party reminds me of the So
cialist party of that period. But look
at the Socialist party nova corpse.
And that's what the Communist party
will be in a few years.
However, cheer up, there's a good
CD living in it for few agitators and
1t keeps life from getting stale,-too
cut and dried, as it tends to become
under the big capitalists.
No gentlemen, so far as / can see,
the U. S. is not very fertile ground
for radicals. The country is too pros.
porous. The well-fed middle classes
are too large TO let you turn things
upside down. Things will have to get
much worse than they are before
there's a revolution There are toe
many men willing to follow organs
and Roosevehs and LaFollettes.
There's too much eternal hope that
the capitalist system can be repaired
improved, oiled, meliorated, revivifed
pruned. However, in the meantime
we have you to prod us, to keep us
discontinued, stirred up, to worry the
judges and lawyers. the Mitchell
Palmers and so forth. Sincerely, w

The chief item on which the French cannot agree
with the other bandits now holding forth at Lon
