AS WE SEE 1T
BY r. J. o'FLAHERTY.

A comrade informed me that he
had an uncle who was successful
business man and as crazy as fox
during week days, but on Sunday, he
became nutty and INDUCED in reli-
gious rites that were anything but
dignified. He belonged to sect whose
practices resembled those of our own
Holy Rollers. On the Lords Day,
this business man and his fellow re-
ligionists gathered in hall, rolled
on the floor, climbed the walls OF
the room and gesticulated madly,
every now anu then shouting that
Jesus had entered into them. After
exhausting their energies in this
fashion for a while, they went their
separate ways and proceeded to act
like normal human beings the remain
der of the week.
Business men are supposed to be
hard headed, but before me is re-
port sent out by Fred Marvin to his
clients, purporting to give the facts
concerning me Youth Movement
in America, and any business man
who would spend a nickel on it is a
candidate for Holy Rollers. That
business men pay money for the rub
bish is evident from the fact that
Marvin produces it. Marvin works
for dough and he never sings the Star
Spangled Banner without expecting
to cash in on his effort. "The Youth
Movement" seems to be the dreaded
DOGGY man of the patriots. What is
this Youth Movement? Marvin tells
us. 1t is a purely destructive move
ment, he says and it is organized
thru the National Student Forum. Is
it Bolshevist inspired? Yes, says the
redoubtable Marvin. Here is the evil
dence Gregory zinoviev, president
of the Communist International,
boosted that the Youth Movement is
the best section of the Communist
International"
Fearing that is not sufficient evil
dence, Mr.. Marvin points out that one
of the very dangerous organizations
fostering the Iouth Movement is the
League for Industrial Democracy,
with dangerous" socialists on its di-
recting board. We believe the most
dangerous of them is the Reverend
Norman Thomas, and the worst the
capitalists have to fear from that
gentleman is that in a moment of ex-
IRENE evaporation he may read the
gospel according to st. John at them.
Marvin finds that these iconoclastic
bodies are responsible for the in
crease of crime on the part of Ameri-
can youth. He finds it easy to prove
his case, evidently assuming that
most business men who pay for his
stuff are law-abiding morons.

that man may have good head for

worked for the late President Hard

Means was good investigator and
refreshingly frank. He was proud OF
his calling and liked the work pro
