William Gibbs McAdoo has good intentions to-
ward the candidacy of John w. Davis, but gall in
the bladder is not as necessary a part of poll
tician's equipment as gall in the head. So says
McAdoos doctor
McAdoo vowed that he would campaign for Nor
gans favorite attorney just soon as he returned
from Europe When he returned from Europe, in
stead of taking the stump he took to the hospital
He still had hopes that his health would i'm
prove sufficiently to enable him to take the plat
farm for candidate Davis. But his doctor would
not hear Of it, The best he could do was to issue
political bulletin, in which he showered confetti
on Davis Some of it landed on LaFollette. Will
liams brother, Malcolm, is on the LaFollette band
wagon Like the Bryan brothers, politics seems
to be family affair with the McAdoos.
AL Smith also promised to take off his coat and
fight for Davis. But he also got sick Instead of
lighting for Davis he is fighting for Tammany Hall
and against DR.. Norman Thomas, who appears to
have reached the conclusion that Al is not as good
as he ought to be, but considering his early train
ing he is better than the company he keeps Al
has not taken off his coat for Davis But he gives
him the glad mitt whenever he sees him and bares
his teeth as much as to say: 'Well, you old horse
thief, how do you like running for PRESIDENT" The
humor is subtle and hard to catch.
The assistance given to Davis by his rivals for
the democratic nomination would make excellent
material for a Mack Sonnet movie comedy. Al
Smith is so sick that he had his picture taken in
an invalids chair. But that does not prevent him
from making several speeches daily in order to
get himself elected governor of New York.
McAdoo may be i'll, but venture the guess
that if there was operation necessary it was due
to rupture brought on from excessive laughter at
his dearly beloved friend Davis, who is as much
out of place in this campaign a total abstainer
from alcohol on the staff of the prohibition
director.
1t looks as if the democratic party might as well
look around for an undertaken. McAdoo's oil did
it as much harm as the Ku Klux Khan. The
elephant is a husky beast and can stand the punish
ment. The jackass is dying. McAdoo and al Smith
are succeeding in making good imitation of the
donkeys bray in laughing at the efforts of Davis,
who may go down in history the last of the
democratic MOhicans. Whether he goes down in
history or not, he will surely go down to defeat
next November.

Hogs and Humans

The nineteenth annual convention of the Insti-
tute of American Meat Packers is now taking place
in Chicago. The slogan of the convention is:
"Give the Hog Square Deal"
These money hogs never even considered the
workers who make it possible for them to turn the
hogs on the hoof into money in their jeans
The meat packers urge the workers to be kind
to the hogs. 1t is an improvement the theory
of "civilized warfare" the practice of allowing
condemned murderer to eat his fill of his favorite
food before he goes to the electric chair the gal
lows.
"Don't prod the hog with pole. He can be
driven just as easily without being prodded." So
can the workers as the capitalists have learned.
Instead of using Simon Legrees with heavy whips
to drive the workers. the capitalists nowadays use
labor takers and preachers of unity between cap
ital and labor
The meat packers are not concerned with the
hogs comfort while he is alive, except inAso far
comfort affects his ability to put on weight. But
the packers are very much concerned with the ap-
Ipearance of the hog when he gets as far as the
knife and fork on his way to the stomach of the
consumer.
Our capitalist rulers are very excited over hogs,
leafs dogs and horses, but the welfare of the work
ers is the last thing that enters their mind Work
The labor market is teeming with human slaves
waiting for an opportunity to sell their labor
power. If Of them dies the boss loses nothing.
Another worker just as good is only too willing
to take his place.

The new chief of the American Legion is Jim
Drain, one of the hemen so much admired by the
American capitalists The New York Times gives
the new commander lengthy boost with photo
graph in which Drain is shown minus arm
We are informed by the Times that arm is "some
where in Flanders"
But the distressing fact is that Drains arm is
mingled with the dust of Spokane county, Wash
ington, U. S. A., and that it became separated
from the rest of the Drain anatomy while that
worthy was squirrel hunting.
Drains anatomical loss was also his gain,
financially and politically He learned from his
tory that not the least of Admiral Nelson's at
traction for Lady Hamilton was his empty sleeve.
Drain has an empty head to complete his equip
ment In this respect he has it all over Nelson.
When GabriePs trumpet blows on the Day of
Judgment to our religious teachers
and the various parts of the Drain person start a
united front campaign in order to appear present
able before Saint Patrick or Saint Peter or what
ever saint is on duty on that day, Drain will not
be obliged to drain his funds buying passport to
France in order to collect the balance of himself.
He will be 100 per cent American.
This is regrettable, but the truth must be told
at all costs. 1t would be much more profitable
for Drain and his hackers If he could prove that
a savage Prussian "Hun" bit off his arm from the
shoulder while he was holding off singlehanded
an army Of plundering Germans bent on pillaging
an orphanage and perhaps eating the tenants for
breakfast.
IT might also interest our readers to know that
before Jim Drain was elected head of the Amer
lean Legion he made living panhandling the cap
italists for funds to support his magazine, "Arms
and the Man. Its principal hacker was Dupont.

held the achievements Of the British

that led to the fall Of Poincare.
"The Independent Labor Party is

Some may ask why the Danish
labor government can pursue com.
plete disarmament policy and not the
British. The reason is that the Dan
ish are self-contained; they have no
imperialist tradition, which Great
Britain passess. We believe that Dem

The Anglo-RusSian treaty looks pretty
black at this moment, for part of the
liberals and the conservatives are
against 1t. The return of Churchill to
the conservative party is regarded as
bridge between the liberal and the
conservative party to erect united
front against the Labor Party-and
defeat the treaty. That will end Mac
