FIERY WORDS AT
COURT SKATERS.

peEs Doing Their Acts

President Coolidge came to the de.
Tense of the supreme court Of the
United STATES in a speech delivered
in Baltimore, Maryland AS usual,
piffIe.brained capitalist correspondents
were there to magnify the usual Cool
idge piffle into political wisdom Of the
first water.
Perhaps the strikebreaker presi-
dent was a little more vigorous than
usual in his delivery. After all, the
supreme court of the United States
is very important tool of capitalism.
When laws forbidding child labor are
passed, the trusty supreme court
dumps them into the garbage can. 1T
is always ready to interpret any law
to suit the interests of those who
give it direction.
A few gems from the COOLIDGE
speech are given for the record. One
is: "This is not the struggle Of the !
rich and the powerful. They viii be
able to survive 1t is the struggle OF
the common run of people" "A
Get a Good Start. Nv
"The time to stop those who would
weaken and loosen the fabric Of ouri
government is before they begin.~
1.-THE question is whether America
will allow itself to be degraded into
communistic and socialistic state orr
whether it will remain American"

timer, Maryland, his competitor on
the democratic ticket was shooting
the OK to the farmers of Nebraska.
Davis speaks a different language in
Nebraska to that which he uses in
the industrial east. In Omaha, Nor
gan's man Davis, was telling the far
mers that he agreed with some of
the republican party nonstrums but
that the democratic party was more
honest and would not trick them after

Why TWO Parties? --s'sl
So far the campaign has not shown
any good reason why the big capital
lists should insist on keeping their
two old parties in the field, unless it
be that the politicians who feed on
both must be placated.
LaFollette continues to beat the air
with musty phrases and is meeting
the fate of all trimmers-he does not,
satisfy any faction of his chop suey
following. "A
One of the most popular subjects
for discussion in Washington is: what
induced Samuel Gompers to get on
the LaFollette bandwagon? The gen.
