tmrv Whenever it appears that
Mr. Fall. is about to get en-
tangled in the meshes of justice,
convenient spell of sickness
tbwarts the legal blOOdhOunds,
whose scent seems to be dOnsid-
erably impaired by the oily OdOrs.

We do not wish Mr.. Fall any
had luck but we cannot help con-
trasting his good fortune in es-
Gaming durance vile with the fate
of Tom Mooney and other labor
leaders who are spending the
hest years of their lives in prison
for fighting the battles of the
CANNON people. Had Tom Moo
ney dealt in general line of graft
and political burglary he would
have enough money to purchase
iustice. Harry Sinclair was
thrown into Jail for a few months
as a sop to the public but Harry
is doing business as usual from
his federal d0micile and taking
daily automobile rides for the
good Of his health.
Sinclair and DOheny would have
been the beneficiaries of Mr..
Falls generosity but for the
Standard Oil Company, which
looks askant at every kind of
pillage that does not bring dol
lars into its own Golfers. In the
early days Of the Harding admin
istratiOn Standard Oil's cOmpeti-
tors were on the ground floor.
Sinclair and DOheny were sitting
pretty. Sinclair was busy max
ing oil contracts with Soviet Rus
sia and but for the death of
President Harding it is probable
that this country would have then
recognized the Soviet Union. The
fall of Fall and the rest of the
hjackers in the Harding admin
istratiOn restored Standard Oil to
its former high standing with the
government and all is now we'll on
the banks of the Potomac.

We have often heard of the
worm that turned but we take off
our velour to the rabbit that bit
The python and got away with it.
We do not know what the stand
ing of Lincoln, Nebraska is for
truth and veracity, but it is re-
corded that at a state fair held
there recently bunny srOlled into
a pen Of rattlesnakes and picking
out fifteen foot reptile bit it In
the belly. Perhaps it was merely
good luck and perhaps it was the
rabbits audacity but anyhow, the
python, simply crawled into a cor
near and stayed there until a
keeper took the fighting rabbit
out Of the den.

The town of Mears, Michigan,
was recently thrown into a panic
when seven youths from Chicago,
appeared on the streets, clothed
only In natures garments. Not
even beads protected the bodies
Of the paraders from public scrut-
my Things might have gone
from bad to worse with the discl-
pies Of Adam but for the pres
enee of mind of a constable who
armed with blankets covered the
hakedness of the cultists, who
were afterwards fined S. by a JUS
uce Of the peace. We believe in
Vpen diplomacy but this is going
700 tar. And from an economic
standpoint it is subversive of
prosperity. What would happen
