AS WE SEE IT
By T. J. o'FLAHERTY.

(;ECRETARY of the Navy DENLY
~ invited a group of newspaper
editors to Cuba to watch the fleet
maneuver. In the meantime the SEN
ate became so interested in the dis
appearance of the oil that helps to
make the fleet travel, that the sec
rotary was detained III Washington.
Now, the editors do not know
whether they are going to see the
fleet or look for it. In view Of the
generosity Of the members of the
present cabinet skeptical editors
would not be surprised to find on
their arrival at Havana that Mr..
DENLY gave the fleet away as a gift
to one of his school day friends.
If the coat of arms of Magnus
Johnson should be a mich cow ram
pant on field of green, that Of the
Coolidge administration should be a
satchel, filled, double crossed with an
empty oil can hanging on the spout
Of golden teapot.
Because President Harding's death
was caused by an overdose of poi
soned crabs and Wilson bit off more
than he could chew, the secretary of
The Society for the Protection of
the Suffering Stomach" sent let
ter to the editor of The DAILY
WORKER demanding that a bill be
introduced in congress making it a
criminal otfense to feed "Bill" Taft
oftener than five times a day.
According to the two that still
live one of the three biggest liars
Of the nineteenth aad twentieth cen
turtles passed away last week. The
two livinS specimens are Clemenceau
and Lloyd George.
President Coolidge's name goes on
the ballot in the state of Illinois.
He remains neutral in the fight of
the Chicago Tribune against Gov
ernor Small. The New England
sphinx, the alleged pillar of justice
and uncompromising champion of
right regardless of consequences is
exposed as the most INSCRIPTIONS
pfHcs seeker that ever darkened the
door Of the White House.
The Red Army forgot to march
on Moscow today. One Bolshevik
chief forgot to slap another COM
missar on the cheek. The Cheka
forgot to arrest Trotzky. Trotzky
forgot to get a divorce from the
Russian princess he married at / p.
m. yesterday. A Russian czarist
general forgot to predict that the
Grand Duke Nicholas would begin
his march on Moscow next week.
What is the matter with the liars
who used to add so much to the
gaiety of nations? Are they knocked
speechless with envy by the achieve
ments of the Coolidge cabinet in ex-
planning away the Teapot Dome?
Whenever anything unusual hap
pens in France the French police
look for the woman in the case.
William Gibbs McAdoo might be rid
ing the Democratic Jackass to the
nomination for the presidency on his
party's ticket but for the wiles of
one John (Doe) Cupid. 1t happened
this way. A young man who helped
the Democrat party prepare the fed
eral reserve act for passage was
in love with beautiful society girl
who refused to return his love until
he secured an appointment to Office
which in her opinion would make
him a suitable object for her affec-
lions. The lovelorn swain sought
the aid of William G. McAdoo. The
latter did not assist and the society
beauty married another Office. When
the oil wells began to gush in
Washington the disappointed suitor
learned that McAdoo was connected
with Doheny. He carried the infor-
nation TO Senator Reed. The Kan.
sas fire eater did the rest.
