- getting his second wind in order
to explain another million dollar
Doheny fee contingent on his sue
cess in overthrowing the Mexican
government, Barney Baruch, a friend
Of the Wilson family, expressed
doubts as to the availability" of
Mr.. McAdoo. By the way this word
availability" promises to become as
famous as either accountability"
"camouhage" or 'normalcy." The
first two can be claimed by the demo-
Gratis as the outstanding achievements
of the Wilson administration, but no
political thief can take away the
credit for normally from the late
President Harding. Baruch is some
what shaken in his confidence in Mr..
McAdoo but he has not yet heard
the Crown Prince over the radio.
It is reported "Mac" throws wick
ed ether wave.
You can't keep a good man down.
Clarence Saunders of PIGGY Wiggly
fame owes several million dollars
but so does the British government.
There is no reason why Saunders
should quit getting rich merely be-
cause he is bankrupt. Saunders
was to organize a chain Of self
service stores. Just walk in and help
yourself, not forgetting to pay the
casl Ter on the way out. 1t is just
like going into q cafeteria. A fell
low never knows what he is doing
until he sees the check. Sometimes
he doesn't see afterwards. He faints.
In spite Of the casualties the Saun-
ders idea made good. Clarence got
rich and then went broke. However,
he has million dollar home, he
is not in Jail and he remembers what
Barnum knew. So he is going to
start again. Everything pays under
capitalism but working for boss.
Paul Williams, London correspond
ent of the Chicago Tribune, we fear
| is another candidate for deportation.
The Tribune boys are daring rascals.
They lie Just for the thrill. Russia
kicks them out because of chronic
and incurable prevarication. Mexico
does the same. Pretty soon Tri-
bune CORRESPONDENT will not be an
| insurance risk. The London repre-
sentative of the Worlds greatest
liar is under instructions to send in
all the lies fit to print about Rus
STA. "Bring them in dead or alive"
are his instructions. He does. Leon
Trotsky is again getting ready to
march on Moscow. The liars are
undecided whether it viii please the
master liar on the Tribune better
to assassinate Trotsky. have him die
Of heart trouble, get him mixed up
in an oil scandal, or merely march
on Moscow and invite the Kaiser to
mount the Romanoff throne. At the
present time they have him organ
izing the Cossacks in the Don Basin
| for a march on the Kremlin. This
must be true because cit was con-
firmed here (Londonl in Russian cir
| cles in continuous secret communica-
tions with friends in the home land"
In the meantime European govern
ments are stepping on each others
heels recognizing this government
whose minister of war is in insur-
rection against it! How is that for
capitalist lying? And yet some lib
eral sapheads say the communists
are not concerned with facts as
much as with propaganda.
Donald Fischer. molder, serving
with the 35th infantry and stationed
on the Mexican border, went absent
without leave on his twenty-frst
birthday. walked into Mexico, swiped
two pies and then called it day.
He was courtmartialed and drew
ten wears in Leavenworth. That was
about the time Fall, DENLY and the
rest Of them were busy disposing OF
the Teapot Dome. The theft of
two pieces of pie wounded the honor
of the United States to such an ex-
tent that the poor, victim must expi-
ate his crime with ten of the best
years of his life. What would hap
pen to him If he stole an oil field?
He undoubtedly would be offered a
seat in the cabinet.
That was not the end. Fisher,
while in the penitentiary was among
crowd that got mixed up in q
SCRAP. A guard came along and
grabbed Fischer. The latter pushed
the guard away, saying, Let go
of me, you fool; l am not in this
fight" The guard fell, hit his head
against a sharp corner and died.
Fischer is now serving life SEN
tencenfor murder This is military
Justice. The capitalist press is now
interceding with the war department
TO turn these men loose. The far
sighted capitalists know that great
wave of resentment is growing
agains- the government among the
men who fought in the late war and
unless the blame Is placed on some
individual. then the whole system
will be blamed for it by the veter-
ans and il will not be so easy to
get them to go to the front for
Morgan and Rockefeller again.
