HUMAN BEINGS

shirts that were cut along the

war models.
But II the taxidermist is right.
the human race Is notch or
two lower in the scale OF evolu-
ton than We have been led 10
believe. Indeed. II may now be
possible TO demonstrate some ov-
erlspping with one or two spe-
cies OF monkeys.
About the only bright spot In
the picture Is that there are
really so few Bilbos and RAN
kills. This scarcity may we'll be
a clue to their peculiar behavior.
for their support OF the poll tax
indicates that they are afraid OF
most human beings.
It's no wonder. then. that RAN
kin insults the intelligence OF
the war veterans with his phony
whitewash OF the Veterans Ad-
ministration. Nor should It come
as surprise that BiIbo has
little regard for most Catholics.
Poles, Jews. Italians. Negroes
and foreigners" The simple fact
OF the matter is that he has lit
tie regard for the eighty per
cent or so OF native white Pro-
iestants In his own state who
are deprived OF their voting
rights.
Ihus we. as human beings.
need not feel quite so bad about
the taxidermist's findings. The
hatred towards the rest OF the
human race that so inspires Bill
BIO and Rankin simply proves that
most human beings are pretty
normal.
IL proves, too. that Bilbo and
Rankin are part OF that lunatic
iringe that was so recently per-
sonified by Hitler and Goebbels.
About the only way in which they
differ from these predecessors Is
that they speak a different lam
guage--but there can he little
doubt that the poison that they
spew is the same.
Still they are human beings
and we know. therefore, that
there's a method or a purpose in
their madness. In love with their
own ignorance. impelled by the
drive to keep themselves in pow
er. encouraged by those few who
gain from the bondage OF Others.
they are trying to prevent the
rest OF us from educating our
selves and our children, and
from providing for our own well
fare by making this truly a gov
eminent Of. for and by the PEG.
pie.
In short. they are afraid thai

Many of you will remember him as
the star back and also all-American

as one of the greatest. backs in Ne

Moody Star of Game
Moody had the punch needed
for the Krautclouters to win the
game 300. The game as whole
was terrific with Moody piling up
2 touchdowns and kicking two extra
points. The first touchdown came
in the 2nd period, when he went
over from the yard line. He had
placed the ball in scoring position
by two runs totaling A yards.
He raced 80 yards for the second
tally in the third quarter when he
intercepted pass. The Fifth Arrny'S

these opposing teams should cause
the fans to witness some Of the
best basketball seen in these parts
for long time. They are both in
good condition and are keyed up
since this is the first game of the
season. The game should be a fast
one with very little time lost by
penalties. To speed the play is the
fact that both teams have ample
subStitutions.
The Mules in their second game

Subject: Commendation.
To: Capt. BOyce M Irwin, Post
Athletic Officer, Fort Huachuca,
Arizona.
Through: 1t. Col. G. E. Nelson, Dr.,
Special Service Division.
l. wish to commend you, Private
johnson and all other members of
the football squad for the excellent
victory over the 372nd Infantry Reg
iment in the Copper Bowl at Doug
las, Arizona, on "a December, 1914.
Under rather rninspiring circum-
stances you we're able to develop a
very cTeditable football team during
this season and this, think, has
added materially to the esprit de
corps" of the trOOns at this station.
The play of OuI team was always
characterized by persistent fight un-
til the end of each game and this,
as much as anything else, was re-
spOnSible for our good showing. Even
though the team fought hard in
every game that they played, they
always exhibited, as far as I could
see, excellent spOrtsmanship without
which no team should go upon an
athletic field.
2. Please express to each indiyid-
ual member Of the team my sincere
appreciation for the part that they
have taken in football this season.
