longer get away with the bunk that
she is carrying the white mans
burden Better still, men of other
colors are offering her a choice be-
tween a graceful retreat or a fight
with bayonets in close proximity to
the rear.
TWO playboys sport themselves in
L the columns of the Hearst press
on Friday One is Arthur Brisbane,
reckoned to be the most highly paid
editorial hack in the world. The other
is his boss, William Randolph Hearst.
The latter has been conducting a
crusade for peace by forming a union
between the "Anglo-SaXon peoples"
Peace! Where? Evidently not in
Latin America In one of those spread
eagle illusions for which he is famous,
Hearst congratulates Coolidge on his
firm stand" We want peace. of
course, but We are not to proud to
fight, and such nauseating hokum.
ON the same page Brisbane holds
Oforth on the Nicaraguan question.
Brisbane tries to prove that the rea-
son for the unpopularity of the United
States is this country's incurable de-
sire to shower favors on other peo-
pies. Did not we go three Thousand
miles across the ocean to help
Europe? asks "Mushbrain." And
what did we get out of it? Nothing
but abuse. That reading public is
in such low stage of mental develop
ment as to believe this twaddle proves
what a comparatively easy matter it
is for the ruling class to fnoculate
them with the germ of war madness
whenever occasion calls for such
medicine.
COMBINES it is not so pleasant to
~ be rich and of high station. The
prince of Wales is getting abused for
going on a public spree in London
and acting as a bartender. The main
objection from the aggrieved ones
was that Eddie's debauch impaired
monarchial prestige. The prince prob
ably feels that he has only one life TO
give and is willing to give that as
quickly as he can for the empire.
Here in America a scion of packing
house family got generous in a senti-
mental way while under the influence
of champagne. But he was not able to
get to the altar, because his mother
had him arrested and bailed out al
most Immediately. It was worth a
few thousand dollars to preserve the
family dignity. A worker could elope
with half a dozen beautiful actresses
without the slightest inconvenience!
I THOSE of you who are inclined to
L be impressed by appearances may
be interested in the case of the Com
monwealth Reserve Fund of Chicago,
a million dollar corporation that was
caught with a bank balance of only
500. The officials of this organiza-
ton sold bonds and lived happily ON
large salaries until something slipped
and the law stepped in. Getting rich
quick is quite a gambling proposition
unless you are in ON the ground floor.
ITALY and France have buried the
L Ratchet, according TO the British
ambassador at Paris. Germany and
France have also composed the trifing
differences over the sentence imposed
on few Germans by French mili-
tary court for daring to get into a
scrap with member of the French
army of occupation. England is in
terested in maintaining peace in
Europe because she has her hands full
in China and is by no means in
sensible to the troubles of the United
States in Nicaragua. When those
brigands get TO composing their differ
ence honest peoples should take down
their trusty rifles.
