AS WE SEE IT

brated his Goth birthday. He did not
celebrate it alone. Congratulations
poured in on him from the heads Of
the biggest capitalist institutions in
the United States, from the White
House to capitalist newspaper offices.
No workingclass organization sent
him greeting. Calvin Coolidge, j.
2. Morgan-from his pleasure yacht
in the Mediterranean Sea-, Nicholas
Murray Butler, the entire Coolidge
cabinet,-with the exception of
Daugherty who was kept out of the
picture for obvious reasons-all
joined in honoring the man who once
said that "A scab was the highest
type of American citizen. Is it sur
prising that the capitalist class
should appreciate such valuable
servant?
Mr.. Ramsay Macdonald is awfulIy
worried over the -mishaps Of the
handsome Prince of Wales. He has
the falling sickness, which proves that
Falls are not indigenous to the United
States. The moment the prince sees
a horse he is tempted and he usually
falls. Now, Ramsay Macdonald has
a heavy responsibility on his Shout
ders. He is saddled with the Job Of
trying to reconcile the contradictions
in capitalist society-a task that Karl
Marx would throw up his hands in
despair at-and also to save the neck
of the prince Of Wales for the collar
Of kingship The Prince insists on
breaking it. Ramsay being socialist
,frk r.. -
the least bit of hostility toward the
good looking lad whose misfortune it
was to have King George as a father,
even tho the class that Mr.. Mac
Donald, the Hillquitian socialist, pro-
fessed once to serve, pays his booze
, and DOCTORS bills.
1t has come to pass-as the gentle
man who wrote the bible would say
that the Prince of Wales has fallen
from horse oftener than is good for
him, and the last time the accident
happened, Wales had his handsome
face somewhat altered by the indeli-
cate application of the animals
hoofs to his countenance. It seems
the steed attempted to give him a
massage without having any expert
ence in the art. The result was not
fiattering to the prince. Mr.. Mac
Donald, the Kings socialist min
lister and master of his flunkeys, will
ask the Prince of Wales to desist
from riding horses. The British work.
ers might lose a darned good king.
The writer suggests to the Prince
that If he cannot resist the tempta-
ton to ride animals, that there are
two quadrupeds in the United States
looking for jockeys and if he applies
to the Republican and Democratic,
parties for the job he may lead either
the elephant or the jackass to victory
in the next election. Should the
prince choose the jackass William G.
McAdoo will lose ninety-nine per cent
of his following.

Renal Pasha is intent on making
clean sweep of religious monopolies
in the Turkish Republtc. He sent the
Caliph scurrying for safety, throwing
hundreds Of happy wives and scores
of contented eunuchs out of employ
ment. While this added to the intel
lectual equanimity of the fastidious
ment problem for him. Now Renal
is about to abolish the Grand Rabbi
of Constantinople. Arthur Brisbane
thinks this would be ad business and
ungrateful. Has Arthur any money
invested in Constantinople real
estate?
Speaker Frederick H. Gillet, of the
National House of Representatives,
speaking in Boston at the annual BAN
quet of the Amherst Alumni Associa-
ton, declared that the United States
government was sound even tho cor
ruption reached into the presidents
cabinet. Of course Calvin Coolidge Is
untouched by the rotteness! He said
the retention Of one crooked man in
the government has done more to des-
troy public confidence in the capitalist
government than hordes Of honest
men con restore in a generation. The
capitalist politicians see the great
destructive overwhelmingly to
capitalist government-of the Teapot
Dome scandal. Yet some radicals
think it is none of our businessl
"Why should we worry about the
troubles of the capitalists? ?" they
say. Calvin has escaped the filth
says Gillett, but is it not strange that
such a wise strikebreaker can be so
blind to the corruption of his associ-
ates7
Strange things are supposed to
happen in Ireland. A few DAYS ago
several generals of the Free State
army objected to the policy Of dis
banding a large section of the army
and forwarded an ultimatum to the
government demanding cessation Of
this policy within very limited time.
The government did nothing. A cab
met minister offered his resignation,
but later agreed to withdraw it. The
situation became so serious that q
special minister of defense was APP
pointed. On the day before yester-
