! LOS ANGELES, Nov. ly.--NOvem-
Der II was Armistice Day. Last week
was American Education Week, as
well as the week of the ninth anniver-
sary Of the Russian revolution.
Armistice Day is the most glorious
day OF days for Wall Street, interna-
tional bankers, ammunition makers,
poison-gas artists, army and navy Of
acers, "greenish" labor leaders" mil
ltaristic teachers, the "Brisbunk" "-ized
reactionary press, bible-pounders. X.
X. K, and other pa(y)triotic patriots,
The creation of a war spirit-frorn
capitalistic point of view--in the
Euntrained minds Of school children
and youth in general is the principal
object of the militarists in this peace
ful'' land of the free.
When this is done the youngsters
are ft to become cannon fodder,
strikebreakers, murderous gun-run-
ners during labor conflicts, war prof
iteers, one-dollar-a-year grafters. po-
Ilioemen and stoolpigeons.
Ant-Labor Poison.
The November issue of The Young
Comrade explained the real meaning
Of American Education Week. Some
Of its slogans are liberty is not the
right Of one, but of ALL" make democ-
racy the same for the world" equal
opportunity for ALL etc. The sum of
all this is bunk because "the teach
ers collect all their forces and start
campaign to dope the children with
antt-labor poison so as to make them
good slaves of the bosses. OF course
they do this all year round. but dur
ling American Education Week they
have special drive or campaign for
doping the workers children"

The same article also pointed out
the significance Of the Russian revo-
luton. 1t said, in effect, that in
America the fat of the land goes to
the parasites-only the crumbs, If any,
reach the workers. Only In Soviet
land, with workers rule and where
the master class bosses have been
kicked out, is there liberty, democracy,
opportunity and justice for the work
ers.

proposition, the bible in public
schools, carried in Los Angeles
county, was voted down. however, as
a state law. SO the Aimeeites, Flight

case knights, mission stiffs and other
lhalielujah screamers, did not succeed
this time-to Bryanize Busickized

evolution Tennessee.
But the danger of next time is still
with us, the danger of hypocritical
godliness, sheepish ignorance and slav-
sh submissiveness in the ranks OF the
exploited workers children. Holy roll
ers, hallelujah actresses and silver
tongued fundamentalists in the form
of Florida real estate sharks are well
come to their pie feasts in gilded cas-
ties. II any, In the skies. But disbe-
levers shall inhabit the earth and

Aimee Rides for Fall.
Even the evangelist herself may
have an accident some of these days
if she don't quit riding mules. She
had been riding, safely, on the backs
of suckers for years--they don't kick,
but mules do. she was kicked of the
saddle recently--hastily, ungracefully,
without her consent or forewarning at
all, and right before the camera at
that. so the royal horses of England,
kicking the Prince of Wales, have
nothing on the Missourian mule.
Mules may be democratic. but rather
than bend their knees before celebri-
ties they kick. The writer is not par
ticularly interested in fundamental
lists, broken necks, but why don't the
workers throw their masters off their
bended backs and the bible-pounders
out Of public schools? They ought to
have aa much sense as q mule, any
