The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-09-21

~ that's all. The
worker who
Do n aB takes Hoover
seriously de-
I. ]. O'Flaherty serve to car
ry lighter
than-air dinner pail and the poor
farmer who believes the tale of Tam
many Al, doesn't know enough to
shake a mouse out of his whiskers.
NMITH can afford to spend half a
" million dollars on his radio broad
casting and Hoover can afford to
spend as much more. They will get
their vote-bait in the newspapers
and into the sitting rooms of the
voters thruout the country. Mill
ons of workers and farmers will
undoubtedly fall for their hokum.
But an ever-increasing number of
the exploited masses are getting
hep to the democratic and Repub-
llcan parties. Pooling the masses
and serving the capitalists has been
the profession of the tplute parties
for generations. The workers are
waking up and those of them that
have gotten the dust out of their
eyes are looking towards the Work
ers (Communist) Party for leader
ship.
N all probability there will not be
much more fuss made about the
Queens sewer scandal. Patten, Con-
nolly's man won out over his oppo
nents in the primaries last Tuesday.
Tammany opposed Patten, evidently
because the wigwam warriors want
ed the sewers all to themselves.
lammany was stopped at the bridge.
Tho shalt not pass" was the slogan
of the Queens Democratic bosses.
Thieves will insist on falling out.
IT'S mighty hard for fellow with
money to know what to do these
days. He is beset with danger from
all sides. John NJ. Philips, the late
sewer-pipe king, or as he called him
self the King of Queens" trusted
nurse he met by accident as most
nurses are met. AS you may know
Philips is supposed to be dead, tho
it would not surprise his friends to
learn that he pulled off a resurrec-
ton. But anyhow, this nurse who
admired the late pipe sultan, Is now
telling all in the pages of a New
York tabloid. Needless to say she
is doing it in the interests of clean
government. So far she has sue
ceeded only in whetting our curios-
ity.
THE gist of her story is that this
man who made others bend to his
will as if they were so MANY reeds
was as weak as woman's tears in
the hands of John Barleyeorn. But
he always carried a medallion which
he picked up on the street and no
matter how muddled he was. when
ne touched this charm, his brain
cleared and he shot out decisions
bearing the stamp of wisdom. Sam
son lost his herculean strength when
ne got trimmed by a woman. Per-
haps some modern damsel went thru
Philips pocket and stole his amulet.
Great men sometimes not only have
feet of clay but carry their brains
in their hip pockets.
THE 80 per cent of the population
that have pyorrhea and don't
know it are not so badly off. They
might have halitosis and see the
world turning away from them. Still.
Bernarr McFadden, the big vegetable
and vltamin man is not satisfied.
This public benefactor is never salts
fled unless he is helping to make
the people healthier and increasing
his bank roll. The style in disease
is constantly changing. Today it is
the fashion to go on the war path
against pyorrhea; tomorrow it may
be the lowly bunion.
NC FADDEN has successfully har-
IVA messed every known disease to
his chariot. What sin is to the evan
gelist disease is to McFadden. While
fighting the medical profession Nc
Fadden sruns the biggest clearing
house for quackery in the United
States. His numerous publications
carry fake medicine ads guarantee
ing to cure everything that afflicts
the human anatomy from corns to
consumption. His tabloid is the most
vulgarly sensational rag published
in the United States. He is the
patron saint of the neurotic and the
Moses of the half baked who believe
that everybody who comes forward
with a panacea for human ills is a
saviour
