SO, takes the same position, politi-
cally, as the American Federation of
Labor. II declares that the Farm
Labor Union is a business and not a
political organization" and should
therefore steer clear of affiliating
with any political party, whether it
be farmer-labor, progressive, demo-
cratic or republican. Gompers' bust
ness is managing the members Of the
American Federation Of Labor SO that
they may remain docile slaves of the
capitalists. The takers in charge of
the farm organizations are also nom
partisan, which means that they are
with the capitalist parties.
KNUSSOLINPS friends are urging
IVI him to quit the government until
public clamor calls him back again.
It is more likely that when Benito
drops the dagger, the masses will
walk him to the gallows if their pa
thence permits them The dictator's
position is getting slipper every day
His bourgeois opponents fear that the
passing Of Fascism will leave the way
open for the coming of Communism.
Their fears are well grounded.
NKTE are informed by an enthusiast
wv tic capitalist scribe that the
president intends to make history.
Naturally such an announcement
arouses ones interest. We learn that
Coolidge is to visit the bulls and other
animals in the Chicago stockyards.
This is the first time Calvin has been
west of Washington for eighteen
months. 1t is a testimony to his polit-
ical acumen that he did not brave the
breezy west until after he was safely
elected, and that even then he is try
ing it on the cows.
n CHARITY BALL without vaude-
~ vile program nowadays would
be as kickless as potato water.
Therefore the society ladies' in Wash
ington who are interested in feeding
the czarist refugees have invited a
female who styles herself the Grand
Duchess Cyril of Russia" to appear
at the ball as an attraction The
ladies' are sorry the grand duke could
not appear, but perhaps his haber-
dashery is not up to scratch or per-
haps that's the trouble. There may
be too much of that kind of thing
associated with it.
HOWEVER, these are delicate mat
[ ters. The duchess will be ignored
by the United States government,
says Washington dispatch, which is
regrettable, declare the society ladies'.
To excuse Charlie Hughes for his
involuntary inhospitality, the press
agent says that Washington has little
love for the Soviets but it does not
want to go out of its way to hurt their
feelings. Red armies have sharp
bayonets and dried-up duchesses do
not inspire Don Quixotes.
PICTURES are now being sent
across three thousand miles of
ocean by radio. This is truly re-
markable but not more so than the
feat accomplished by Messrs. North
cliffe and Bonar Law in sending mes
sages from hell or wherever these
two worthless are passing the time,
In the theological sense, of course.
The two British aristocrats are still
true to their class. 1t would not sur
prise us if they began discovering
RED Plots" after the earthly liars
lave played themselves out.
FNR. ROACH STRATTON, of New
- York, fossilized fundamental
list. got quite peeved after he read
John d. Rockefeller, Jr.'s, sermon on
religion in the papers. Young John
regretted that the development of the
human mind outstripped religious de-
velopment. The oil king said that
science did funny things to the scrip
,ires, without hurting them much.

nIOT so with the scriptures, accord
IN ing to John. Sciences knocks
hell out of them, but hell still re-
mains as hot as ever. DR.. Stratton,
who looks on Rockefeller, Jr., as
dangerous radical, denounces such
sermons as pernicious. He lays much
OF the blame for modernism in the
church on the shoulders of the Rookie
fellers whose money, spent in scien-
tihc discoveries in order to improve
their oil producing machinery ran
foul of the christian god in several
places, with damaging results to the
latter. Perhaps John d., Jr.,, might
secure STATIONS benevolent neutral
