The discussion of the proposals for

not in the nature of petitions, but
of demands on the national govern

be chosen by the mass during the
last week of January.

Jokes for Jobless

Hoover, president of the u.

has just entertained a pack of
national advertisers by telling
them they created a desire for
com m ODDITIES, increased de-
mand, boosted production and
pushed up the standard of
living.
Hoover proved by medicine
show logic, that the reason
goods are not being sold is
because of an absence of de-
sire. Clever advertising dis
tributed among the 100000
jobless will awaken a desire
for something TO eat and wear.
The only drawback is the
absence of money.

The nation that only a few dec
AIDES ago fought bravely to main

maintain that liberty, today is the
scene of barbarous cruelties in
which all rights of a legally free
man are taken away from him by

While it was natural for the

of the crime which the prisoners
had committed, an attack upon a

mob retribution involved an
equally great crime, that of disre
