I he M OOcher
as a Gig 0I0

The gieOlo is that moochin9 man
Dressed so spick and span.
The combinations worn make
him look like clown
The eigolo moocher. the best
dressed man in town.
Any color no matter how clashy
He'll wear just to be flashy.
Your pants and my coat
Over these he doth gloat.
To all the girls. whose hearts he
sets flutter
His combinations make them
StutTer
While tripping the light fantastic
Indulging in his gyrations and
gymnastics.
From our clothes to them he's a
man o money.
But when il comes to beer, see
you latter honey
To all the girls in Wheeler, he's
just a shrimp.
But to you and me he's Just a
simp.
Sometimes you'd think he'd pop
But when your with him he's
flop
He'll dress swell and 90 on a
spree
But he'll mooch his clothes and
beer, from you and me.
All his money is in the bank
But you and me. do you think
he'd thank
Us for the things we tried to do
Beware of the moocher in 1902.

Cooperation in
Swedish Industry

OF late, considerable discussion
has been given TO the success at
tanned by cooperative buying anC
selling associations in Sweden
where the cooperative movement
especially in the field of purchas.
ing, has been the most extensive
ly developed.
It has been said that coopera-
tives could be equally successful
in this country, and a few mon
tbs a Federal mission
went to Sweden to study cOndl-
tons at first hand.
1t is therefore interesting to read
a recent dispatch from the Stock
holm correspondent of the Wall
Street Journal, Kurt DrachenielS.
He brings out a fact of the first
inheritance: Swedish cOOpera-
tives are treated precisely as any
other private enterprise, are sub
iect 10 taxation, and are not favor
ed in any important way. In other
words, they must stand on Their
own feet If they succeed, well
and good. if not, they must 90 TO
the wall, as would any other buSi-
ness.
There can be no argument a
gainst cooperatives in this conn-
try so long as they pay their own
way, seek no ia Vors. and are sub
iect TO tax and other laws impos-
ed on all business. We already
have many coOperatives in the
AGRICULTURAL field that are in this
But a cooperative that
must depend on tax freedom, pub
lie subsidies and political faVors
has no right to exist.
That is, a number of Democratic
leaders notably those from the
known to openly fav-
or submitting a Constitutional
amendment to the people instead
Of expecting the Court to change
its Interpretation of the Constitu-
ion. Majority Leader Robinson
and Speaker Bankhead belong to
this group.

 NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-A gentle man of Nebraska has written to ask if, from long experience as a correspondence in England and in other parts of the British empire, I can answer two questions:
 Do Englishmen really like us, and Did the Simpson affair make them sore at us?"
 It is indeed a much appreciated compliment to be asked to deal with such searching inquiries, but one is grateful that the gentleman of Ne braska did not venture onto any, thing more delicate such as What do you think of mothers-in-law generality"
 The Simpson Case
 The Simpson query-to deal with that first-is inspired by the fact that Mrs. Wallis Simpson, for love of whom King Edward abandoned his throne and went into virtual ex- ile, is American born. The answer is "no''-the matter of nationality did not enter into the case.
 A scattering of anti-American Britons have mutterbd that the trouble was due to another of those dashed Yankees" but that does not represent the sentiment in England. Many English people are going out of their way to say that Mrs. Simp- sons American birth was in no way involved
 Edwards subjects would have felt the same about her had she been a native of the British Isles. Britain would not want as Queen even a Royal Princess who had divorced two husbands and who had been courted by the King while she was still married to her second.
 Do Englishmen really like us?"
 I have lived with, fought with and played with British peoples for Is years. Let it be said here that I like and admire them: many of my best friends are British.
 Individually, Yes
 From a thousand and one discus sions about likes and dislikes, comes the following:
 The British like the individual American who is likeable They do not have any great fondness for Americans as whole.
 There are many things the Eng lishman dislikes about us as whole For one thing he is extreme " conservative and is intensely an noyed by any excess of aggressive ness-American or otherwiSe-which results in loud-mouthed ostentation, or intrusion. He resents the band shaking. I come from Gods coun- try, glad to have you know me type of thing
 The American method of proceed ing to mans office to do business without an appointment is another bugabear to the Englishman He may admire American iniative at distance, but doesn't want our sales manship applied to him personally.
 Here is an illustra tion of the gen. eral feeling.

SECOND SLIDE SUIT AGAINST
 A. J. IS FILED
George Lee Asks Damages of $l ,648 for Death of
 Wife, Loss of Property

Second suit against the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company as a result of the November slide was filed in Federal District Court to- day by George J. Lee, through his attorneys Henry Roden and Albert White. Lee asks damages of $11,- 643, charging the mining company with negligence in caring for the hillside which slid down on Lcwer Franklin Street taking several buildings and a toll of IA lives in it's path. He asks $10.000 for the death of his wife, Callie Lee, and the balance on personal property damage.
 Suit of similar nature was filed yesterday by Gust Erickson, whose wife also was killed in the avaalan- che.

many years ago, applied for and was granted an interview with prominent member of the Cabinet. That sort of thing was novelty to most London newspapermen. One of my English colleagues, who also wrote on government affairs but who never tried for an interview, was highly indignant with me.
 That's the sort of t ing an American would do," he snapped T realize that in Washington re- porter can walk into the private office of the Secretary of State with out being announced, put his feet on the Secretary's desk, and spit tobacco juice on the carpet. But it isn't done here"
 ] The average Englishman dislikes our language-particularly the eX- | treme slang-and our nasal accent drives him to distraction. One thing that irks him greatly is the effort made by many Americans to speak with an English accent. There isn't one American in 10000 who eyeI achieves a correct" English accent. Attempts to initiate the English are pretty appalling.
 Dress Too Loud
 The penchant of some American men for extremes in dress causes much unfavorable comment, espec- nally among Englishmen who wear monocles.
 Let an American follow our cus- tom of shifting the fork from the left to the right hand every time mouthful of food is taken; and he will find the whole dining-room in England watching him in dis dain.
 To sum the thing up, the Briton thinks Americans Gas a whole). are crude, loud-mouthed, too aggressive, and extremists in most ways.
 As already stated, however, the in- dividual American lady of gentle man, of conservative persuasions, will find warm welcome in Eng land.
 Political Friends
 Moreover, most Britons feel that the peace and progress of the world depend on close friendship between America and the British Common wealth of Nations. Many of them say they would like to see an Anglo American offensive and defensive al- liance, The relations between the two governments are, of course, of the best.
 Underlying some of the feeling about our ways and customs is an outspoken resentment because America has taken a lot of the limelight from mighty England in both trade and world affairs.
 Also, because of our strong Brit ish ancestry we are expected to be like the English, and any deviation causes a turning up of noses. Just as my New York City friends look with scorn on my Vermont liking for pie at breakfast, so the Eng lishman views all our 'idiosyncras- ies."
 Now I am going to think up one to ask the gentleman of Nebraska
 Try The Empire classifiedS for quick results.
