time Henry Ford should look to his
laurels. And it is time the officials
Of the American Federation of Labor
should do something about organizing
the workers in order that they may
get more of this wealth that is sweat
ed out of their bodies. Green is too
busy driving rivets in battleships for
his capitalist masters to bother about
organizing wage slaves.
Drank H. SIMONDS, self-styled po-
4 Htical and military expert de-
clares that France is on the verge Of
bankruptcy. Simonds was a notorious
Francophile during the war and one
of the loudest shouters for allied vic
tory. But now he finds that victory
brought bankruptcy to France and not
much less to England while Germany
is again approaching the industrial
domination of Europe. And to make
matters worse, Simonds says that the
French believe the United States is
the cause Of their financial woe. The
next time the French go to war, they
will not be so anxious to get saved.
WIE warned our readers a few days
w ago not. to swallow everything in
the line of news that is broadcasted
by the press agents Of the British en-
pire conference. The impression was
given a few days ago that South AT
RIGA was the only dirty little duckling
in the imperial brood that wanted to
swim its way to freedom. Ireland and
Canada are satisfied! But while the
conference is going on, Desmond
Fitzgerald, Free State minister for for
eign affairs is in Geneva depositing
with the league of nations treaties
that Ireland contracted with other
countries, a proceeding which is quite
displeasing to his majesty's govern
ment but about which his majesty
can't do a darned thing
A IMEE McPHERSONS counsel
"A agrees with Arthur Brisbane that
a girl should have a perfect right to
go where she pleases and return when
she is ready. This means that Aimee
has just about thrown up the sponge
and the great hoax of this champion
fraud is riddled. If Aimee was not the
head of a nutty religious congregation
and wealthy, thru the ignorance Of her
'ollowers she would have been in Jail |
ong ago as common confidence wo-
nan. But she had money and was
bic to buy off judges and law enforce
ment officers until her accomplices
squealed because she did not-share the
graft with them as she promised.
T EST people might think that rehg-
- ion has fallen on evil days let me
point out that the peddling of indulg-
ences was a lucrative practise in days
gone by and stin fiourishes in the
catholic church. If Aimee had not
been too greedy she might have cou-
tinued to get away with the graft for
many years to come. In ono respect
we agree with the rotarians You can
not mix business with pleasure and do
justice to both.
MEREDITH NICHOLSON, Indiana
AVA author, calls his native state,
'the Land of the Boobs" | doubt if
there will be one dissenting voice
against this title outside of the
Hoosier state. But why pick on In !
diana? Today's elections prove that
boobery is rampant in every state in
the union. 1t is true that they are
not as ludicrously stupid as the klux-
ers of Indiana but they are bad enuf.
A N open shop contractor was killed |
here some time ago and shortly |
a union business agent was
arrested and charged with the muir
der The inevitable snitch was on
hand who agreed to identify" the |
union business agent in consideration |
OF $3.50 a week which was paid him
by the Citizens Committee to Enforce |
the lands Award. A jury took good |
look at the stoolpigeon and returned a |
verdict of, mot guilty" in few min
utes. At the same time we are of the
opinion that had the union man been |
without money the jury would take
longer time to bring in such verdict. |
