Red BaiterS' Field Day
A GENTLEMAN in Iowa, who pre-
"A sumably inquired into the mat
ter, asserts that in this country are
upwards of 100000 aliens who en-
tered illegally and that the vast
majority of these over 80 per
cent, are on relief. While we're
fighting corn borers and tobacco
worms and boil weevils with gov
eminent funds, wouldn't it be
grand idea to turn a lot of Omen
loose to round up these struggled
in human parasites. and ship them
back where they came from?
Locally speaking, I'm told that
the average foreign-born agitator,
ostensibly seeking to organize the
casual workers of this state, is
really a red agent spreading COM
munistic doctrines under cover of
his seeming activities in the indus
trial field. In other words, his real
aim is not to unionize labor but to
disunionize America.

The Leagues Big Moment
A T LAST here's a chance for the
1 \ League of Nations to function.
For the poor thing it has been an
uphill pull to slide down hill so
steadily, with each descending step
toward the bottom marked by dis
appointment and failure. 1t had al
most as tough shedding as a
smooth-faced, bearded lady would
have trying to get job in mu-
scum.
But now, the league can punish
at least one small nation for per-
sistently breaking the otherwise
solid front presented by nearly all
the important European powers.
Surely, ere long, it will hang some
sort of penalty on little, simple
minded Finland for regularly pay
ing installments on her debt to us.
This disruptive thing cannot pos
sibly be permitted to go on forever
when the sacred principles of dis
honor, ingratitude and reputation
are all at stake!
Paging the Black Legion
TT IS passing strange that the
L Black Legion is so slow about
offering Herr Hitler honorary men,
bership in the mother-lodge up
in Michigan. Both parties seem
to feel alike on the subject of per-
sons of color.
Meanwhile just so long as they
didn't try to stop him from shaking
those nimble feet our brown
skinne I'd flying squirrel, Jesse
Owens, should worry because die
tator refuses to shake his hand.
With Metcalfe and other dark
colleagues helping him pile up so
commanding lead for the Ameri-
can team in the Olympic games,
it's almost time for the band to
play "An Gawd's Chillun Got
Wings"
Synthetic Spanish Hidalgoes
A ND the famous Santa Barbara
a fiesta Testing on every side and
yours truly looking as much like a
Spanish hidalgo as anybody born
in McCracken county, KY, could be
expected to look.
Plenty of other disturbing occur
rences, too. Heat wave still hang
ing on in spots. Fresh European
complications on account of the
Spanish mess.
Down at his home on the range
where seldom is heard a discourage

ner, with his head over the corral
bars, beginning to moo plaintively.
And now, on top of all that, it
seems we must start worrying
about Tommy Manville's next wife
or wives, as the case may be-and
probably will.
do wish Tommy could see his
way clear to hold off till fall. If
memory serves me Alright, the fall
always was his favorite marrying
season, anyhow.
