THERE is no good reason to recap
/ itulate the events that led up to
the evacuation OF Washington by
Daugherty. Those who do not already
know the details are yet too young to
be given any stronger nourishment
than pastuerized milk. What we are
concerned with is proving that Daugh.
erty's removal was only piece OF po-
ltical stage-play made by Coolidge in
order to save his person from the
odium cast on the administration thru
the exposure OF the greatest orgy of
corruption that ever intrigued the Am
erican people. Intrigued is the word
COOLIDGE, slowly. and with poor
~ grace, yielded to the clamor for
Daugherty's removal. Daugherty was
personally sore at the way In which
he was booted out Of the department
of justice for doing the right thing by
the gang. He WIS merely. the goat
Communists pointed out at the time
that in the event of Coolidge getting
back into the White House the presi-
dent would find way Of de.oiling and
politically delousing the former at
torney general.
YESTERDAYS newspapers tell us
that Harry Daugherty, former at
torney general Of the United States
was one of Calvin Coolidges guests
at the White House. The event was
not given wide publicity and may pass
unnoticed except by the bootleggers
and others who knew Harry's tech
niQue and would rather see him back
on his old job than waste lot OF
time and good money breaking In
somebody else. SO much for Calvins

be guessed Immediately. It is the die

But there are half dozen capitalist

Take the Italian specimen for in

NNE of the reasons why our be-
~ WHISPERED secretary Of state does
not recognize Soviet Russia is be-
cause that government was not elect
ed by the votes Of capitalists of all
descriptions, legalized swindlers as
we'll as by the votes of the workers.
The Russian government, born out of
revolution. grants only to those who
participate In the production OF the
nations wealth the right to vote. In
America, 1t is for all practical pur

MUS OLINPS dictatorship is
fvl praised because It saved Italy
from the menace of Bolshevlsm" that
is from the rnle OF the workers. It
is quite clear that it is not dictatorship
our American capitalists fear but the
kind that dictates for the workers and
not TO them. Mussolini is skating on
thin ice at the present time His die
tatorship has hit snag 1t could not
help doing that. Even a first class
brain could not avoid disaster. His

Russia finds words of praise OF Mus
solini even when he is trampling on the
freedom OF the press which our edi-
torinl ostriches worship SO dearly. OF
course they do not object to the sup
preston of Communist papers. Benito
was their idol while his show was
running smoothly. Even now they
have soft spot In their hearts for
him. ...
