II my 111eIluS was TO see me with
you now it would be easier Tor me
to get away with it l could say YOU
was the daughter of some famous
diplomat or of a senator at the yerv
least" And of course that made me
1eel happy and just then we come 70
movie parlor and he says, 1--WE
have got to learn how to wear our
good clothes" he says, so let's 90
In and see the latest thing in Hollv-
wood manners"
So in we go and there is a pictnpe
on Nom the lOvehest story about a
poor miners daughter in the hills
that is kidnapped by a moonshiner
that is an old-fashioned name for a
boot-legger and she is rescued by the
handsome young son of the mine
owner that just at that time happens
TO visit the mine and he comes 10
love her in the end and they get mar
ried in the lovelist palace all white
with sunshine and roses. And if
had OF saw that yesterday | would
OF said it was too good to be true but
now 1t all seemed like it was me and
l felt such thrills running over me
and l felt so warm and | whispered
to Mr.. Edgerton to thank him several
times and l felt just like he really
was my father like he said.
But then l got scared because of
course he amt my father but he's a
man that amt happy with his wife
and l am girl that is promised 70
be married some day long ways OFF
10 poor but honest shipping-clerk
In Camden New Jersey. And so /
got to keep telling myself that nv
JOB with Mr.. Edgerton is to educate
hlm SO that he can educate the
Spokansman that is the greatest Man
IN the whole world and has the lob
OF educating the greatest people in
the whole world.
But oh Nom it is hard to be a girl
and to be young and to love pretty
thlngs and never to be able to have
none unless you go without your
lunch every day for a month or two.
go up to that little box of a room
that | live in, and fry myself frank
1urter or some hamburger on a tiny
oil stove and gee l get sorry for
poor Walter that thinks | am going
TO marry him some day but am of
course but oh Nom us plain people
DO have to pay lot for what we
learn!
Well we went into a restaurant
ana as soon as Mr.. Edgerton had or
aered some dinner says real de-
termlned, We have got to get down
to business now because | will NOT
feel happy unless l give Won some
real good ideas to pay for all tins
money you have spent" So he saws
mat the Spokesman likes my ideas
ABOUT the Reds and how to hold them
down, but He thinks that just now
1t would be better not to hammer
them too hard because this counrrv
has got lot of machinery. and things
that it has got to sell and them Boil
SIlVlkls as got a lot of gold and
crown Jewels that they want to ex-
change for ten thousand tractors that
is made by friends of the Spoxes-
man that helped him lot to get
elected.
Gee" | says, a thought them
Hooslan fellers got all them gold and
jewels by stealing them!"
And Mr.. Edgerton saws that is on
ana perhaps we hadn't ought to take
II put the trouble is if we don't sen
the tractors the tractor factory win
nave TO shut down and that will leave
lot OF good honest American work
ing people to starve in the middle of
the winter. "And so YOU see" saws
me- how complicated these here in
ternational affairs is"
And l says, "My God hardly srnou
now TO think my way around in such
a mlX-up. That is almost worse tban,
the problem about getting the dahts,
pau, l says, for l was going to
say Gnat to make up with them Boz
sniylkls would be like shaking hands
with murder" And Mr.. Edgerton
says, Yes, it was Lord George than
SAD that few years ago over in
England. And gee Nom YOU have
sure got to keep Pop from sendinw
me old ones else I'll have to stop us1
ing MS ideas and think them all nm
for myself. =" ny
Well | done the best l could in
hurry. He said the Spokesman waS
very unhappy because of the wav
the prohibitionists was fussino Isa
cause the boot-leggers wasn't stopped
the drles didn't like it because the
Joo OF enforcing the law was left IN
thaC banker that is in the cabinet
l never can remember his name h,1t
l Keep thinking of Cantelope thouph
thaC don't sound right. Well anvboTU
Chls Mr.. Cantelope is the BIGGEST
manufactures of whiskey in the coun-
try and the prohibitionists don't seem
to think that he is the best one Tn
catch the bootleggers and saws
Well, you have heard the old savinc
about setting a thief to catch :
thief" And Mr.. Edgerton thouoht
that was clever but he didn't think
IL was just the way the Spokesman
would want to defend His friend thn
great banker in the cabinet
And so there it was Nom 7 couldn't
Chlnk OF nothing else so / have fell
down complete and Mr. Edgerton win
think that getting these new clothes
mas made me stop being able to feel
with the plain people. So please ask
Pop to see if he can think of anv
reason why a great whiskv-maker
should be hired by the government
TO stop the whisky-business and If
ne can, to write it to me quick. B1Tt
please don't let him send nothing
that he has read in the papers about
1t because Mr.. Edgerton is sure to
say that is old stuff.
