Today / have wandered from the
picnic grounds to the band stands
land dancers and through the Exposi
ton Buildings, admiring the ability
of man and his contraptions of genius
and beauty. Everywhere | see healthy
happy and contented people bubbling
with enthusiasm and well-being, cele-
brating the day of days-the eman-
cipation of mankind. | have tried to
determine how many articles would
be written for the papers tomorrow
about this day and have retired from
the thought with headache. But |
do know it will be we'll covered and
| feel as though | have bad case of
spring fever and the only cure is to
get out of the sun and go where it
is cool and dark and musty. So here
/ am in the basement of the Historical
Library, scanning the publications of
the most barbaric and also interest
ing times of history The first art
icle that caught my eye was the news
of two hundred years ago today in
an issue of The Chronicle.
/
The headlines are president of the
USA Found by Group of Psycholo-
gists to be Violently Insane" The
article continues: 1.-THE investigation
of the presidents insanity was con-
Quoted and managed by groups of
citizens. Delegates were elected to
meet in Washington, d. c., on given
day, armed with authority from the
citizens of their respective districts
to investigate all officers at the head
of our government.
1.-THE delegates congregated on the
Capitol lawn on the morning of May
1st before attempting to enter the
Capitol buildings. At first the police
attempted to dispense them, but every
thing was timed so perfectly that the
thousands of delegates swept every
thing before them. The Capitol build
ing was filled to overlooking and the
lawn and nearby streets were a seeth-
ing mass of humanity. A few casual
ties were reported, but trusted speak
ers were at the mike reporting con-
stantly and by this means small dele
cations were chosen and approved and
ordered to start investigations.
1T was reported that when the dele
gates first started to arrive there was
an attempt made to spirit the Presi-
dent and other high officials out and
away, but this move was forestalled
by some of the office workers in the
Capitol.
THE investigation is disclosing al
most unbelievable facts. A conspir-
acy of International bankers and |
crown heads of Europe, with an in
sane President as puppet, were plan
ming a wholesale slaughter of the peo-
pie There has been strict censor
ship placed upon making public the |
different ways of wholesale death that
were planned as Psychologists fear
the reaction of the people.
"The government at this time is
in the hands of the delegates by the |
of the people and there have
been hundreds of arrests made. All |
public and private airports are being
watched and no planes are allowed to
cave the ground except government
planes sent up to bring down any that
disregard this order. Shipping is at a
,tandstill. The smallest boat is not
allowed to leave the docks. A list
If names and descriptions OF the for
ign nobility and financiers who will
ry to escape into South America is
,eing prepared for publication and all
.itizens are asked to watch for them.
"The American public has been
made uneasy for months by the err
attic moves of the President in re-
,ard to the war in Europe, by his |
tubborn insistence in forcing a war
Ipon the people, by his cratic radio
amblings, by his selling war materi-
is to governments that he was try
ng to declare war upon and by his
ack of understanding even the difini-
ions of words, such as his statement
hat we won't act as conveys but that
We will patrol the seas for those
articles to the war zones. y
