IN WHICH 1 LISTEN TO GOSSIP

DEAR MON:
Well, l have had my first failure
in my new job Of telling the Spokes-
man what to say to the American
people. went out today and bought
the afternoon paper and He hadn't
said word of what l had told Mr..
EdgertOn to tell Him to say. He had
talked about the money them Dago
nations owes us but all He said was
that the debts was a sacred obliga-
ton and the American people would
exact a settlement. But Nom you
can see that amt saying nothing
when there amt enough money in the
whole world to pay them and we
couldn't let them send US goods with
out running all our industries. How
can they pay except like l said by
our sending over tourists for them
to feed? | am greatly disappointed
In the Spokesman.
Tell Pop I got his letter and 1
thank him for all the ideas ON poli-
tics ne has sent. Some of them
seems to me very good and l shall
be pleased to make use of them. Mr..
EdgertOn says it is the opinions of
the plain people that he wants. and I
am sure Pop is plain enough to suit
anybody. Tell him that l don't won
der he can't hardly believe this good
fortune that is come to me. But it
IS Gods truth just as | have wrote it.
And you can tell Pop he don't need
TO worry about his baby girl, because
| FOL l,o
myself. Mr.. Edgerton amt tried to
get fresh and l don't think he is that
sort at all. He never says nothing
about how have such nice long
brown lashes over my china-blue
eyes. | don't think he even saw that
darn | had put in my stocking though
| forgot and put my foot up on
chair right where he could see. The
truth is l think he loves his wife;
only he don't know quite what to
make of her just now ana he's lone
some for little female chee1fulness.
II ne buys me a dinner it amt going
to break him and he's getting his
moneys worth and more being edu-
Gated about how the plain people
feels about politics and international
affairs. And besides, Nom, don't
forget that have got a Teller by the
name of Walter that l am someday
going to marry even if he is only a
poor shipping-clerk in Camden and
that ought to be enough for my Pop
TO fret over.
P. S. Well, I have just got home
from another dinner and Mr.. Edger-
ton has told me how I come to lose
out with the Spokesman. He wouldn't
have nothing to do with my ideas
for the debt settlement because He
says it amt way to collect the
money but only to spend it and the
Spokesman don't believe in spending
no money that you don't have to. He
says most of the plain people don't
care nothing about art and they

setting with our feet up on the ton
of the tables instead of doing our
work!'
WELL" says he, "as a matter of
fact wouldn't there be a lot of Gus
toners come in to see that sight,"
But the subject is too serious for
klcdlng so | says, "How much liber-
" would US girls have left, if we all
mad to be government help? And
VINO would give US our jobs would we
nave to GO to some politician from
North Carolina that has got the
Spokesman's ear? No, Mr.. Edger-
ton, the prosperity of this country is
based OIL. Individual effort and free
dom of everybody to make his own
way IN the world. Just compare our
wealth with what they have got over
IN them bureaucratic and Socialistic
lands overseas"
Morn, that was an awful mouthful.
but l had learned it word for word
out of Pops letter, l got it off with
out slip and Mr.. Edgerton was
very much impressed he stopped iok-
ing and sat and thought it over and
he says, eyes, Miss Riggs, l am in
clined to tsink that is sound doctrine
and a good illustration. l think that
will serve admirably for the talk
which the Spokesman is to give to
the reporters in the morning. They
have asked Him several embarrassing
questions about the big banker in his
cabinet who has been let off lot of
his income taxes, and these ideas of
yours l am sure He will consider
much more suitable for public dis
cussion. I think l had better run O.
er and see Him at once and make
the suggestion"
So then we gets up to go and then
oh Nom a most dreadful embarrass-
ing thing happens. Mr.. Edgerton
goes for to pay the bill for our din
ner and the coffee and the other
things in coffee cups that we has
had and he takes out his leather

them hates all the others like poison
because each of them is trying to
shove the others away from the
Spokesman's elbow.
So that is how it goes, and Mr..
Edgerton says | am not to get dis
couraged if l don't always have nv
way about what the Spokesman saws.
| can be sure that l will win out in
the end because 1 represent the plain
people and they have got the votes
and everybody knows they are the
real boss. And Mr.. Edgerton saws
that just now what the Spokesman
is worried about is what to do about
the Reds that seem to be making an
awful lot of fuss and what would I
think he had ought to tell the world
about it?
And gee Nom you can imagine how
fine that was because it was one of
the things that Pop has wrote to me
about. So l says, "Them fellers had
everyone ought to be sent to Jail"
Yes says Mr.. Edgerton, "but the
trouble is that don't seem to work out
right because then they have a trial
and it puts their ideas on the front
page of the papers instead of the
ideas of the Spokesman. It's kind of
provoking but it works just the op-
posite of how it had ought to-
"Well," says l, "This much is
plain if them fellers don't like the
way this country is run they had
ought to get out of it."
eyes," says Mr.. Edgerton, 81
have said that and we sent a couple
of hundred of them off to Roossia a
few years ago. But you see there is
an awful lot of them and you've no
idea what it costs or how it hurts the
Spokesman to have to pay travelling
expenses for a lot of Bolshivilkis."
"Well," says I, eff I had my way
I'd cut their journey short they
should be sent to sea in ships of
stone with sails of Lead
Nom you must tell Pop not to
send me no old ones because that
sounded fine to me but it seems that
it is a wheeze in fact Mr.. Edgerton
was the man that had wrote it sew
eral years back he explained. "You
see," he said, before l come to the
Spokesman l was shirt-stuffer for a
big admiral and that was the sent
ence that made his reputation"
"A shirt-stuffer ?" says I.
Says he, "That is what we call our
selves us fellows that make the big
stuffed shirts that the public adj
mires." 1t didn't seem to me that
was very respectful way to talk
about an dmiral but l didn't say
nothing because | was trying to re-
member the rest of what Pop had
wrote.
"Mr Edgerton," I says, 81 wish
you would tell me how anybody that
has got sense enough to make a
speech can he such a fool as to be-
lieve in dividing up because can't
they sec that if you was to do it it
wouldn't be a week before the smart
ones like you and me would have it
all again ?"

vide up their idea is just the opposite
