themselves in. every day. You don't
seem to realize that the employers
are not stirring up religious hatred
among themselves. They are all
sticking together and letting each
one worship as he pleases. Mrs.
Kathlyn Tillman, 1128 W. Adams.
. LADY ARISTOCRATS. The pres
ent dark outlook for my class is re
lieved by a Suffrage Editor of a
morning paper:
m "Madam Voter, you may reach out
now for the political sinecures which
you deserve." Susie Sexton.
A sinecure is an office, with pay,
but, as the dictionary says, "involv
ing no labor." This is the beginning
of aristocracy for the women, and
who deserves incomes without work
more than a cultured woman voter?
Note the word "Madam" as portend
ing the official titles we "shall soon
see used on compulsion, I hope, by
the lower classes. The lady quoted
should be the first to acquire a title,
perhaps that of Duchess de Sexton.
What a pleasure it will be to write
the names of those whom Miss Sex
ton has slated for sinecure positions:
Countess Torbet, Marchioness von
Severin, Baroness o'Earle, etc. We
must establish these titles gradually
so that the revolutionists will not no
tice the change. Aristocrat.
WE ARE GREATEST FAKES.
We, the people, are the greatest
fakes.
Everyone who has written .to The
Day Book in answer to .the question
has truly named a faker in the vari
ous matters written of. Yet if pop
ular government, social order law and
gospel, such as they are, truly repre
sent the will of the people, surely we
are not the high-minded and intelli
gent creatures we profess to be. Our
tolerance and quiet submission to the
damnable, infernal, blasphemous, im
pertinence delivered to us from
swaggering policemen, dirty-mouthed
lawyers, humbug politicians and
some of the unconscionable creatures
setting in judgment clearly indicated
that the people are not only greatest
fakes but the greatest fools ih Chi

ROOSEVELT PEACE CONTRO
VERSY. It should be understood
ance for all that only those who re
main silent, inactive and idle take no
part in human progress. Those who
have never ridden in an automobile
or helped to make one or Invent one
are the only ones who can be said to
have taken no part in the develop
ment of this vehicle, and the same
may be said of every other invention
and every other form of knowledge,
viz., those who take part, whether
right or wrong, are aids to progress
and development whereas those who
take no part, say nothing, do noth
ing, may be said after they have pass
ed on to other realms, to have merely
"just lived" while they were'on earth,
but that they were so dull, so neutral
or perhaps judicious or cautious that
they were never any help to God or
man.
" Though America bears the label of
a "democracy," there are but very
few who understand that the philos
ophy of progress through freedom
consists in every one "getting busy"
in their own way, for progress de
pends upon the activity of individuals
doing, wrong as well as right, ex
ploiting unsuccessful ideas and in
ventions as well, as successful ones,
for it is in the interaction, in the im
pact between the right and wrong,
the successful and unsuccessful, that
all progress is made under the law of
natural selection, the unworthy and
the inefficient elements being weeded
out in the process.
We need the Prohibitionists and we
needithe United Societies and Per
sonaf Liberty leagues to combat
them, and we need all the zeal of the
contending parties. We need the
peace party and we need the Roose
velts to combat them, and it is desir
able that the combatants on each side
carry their arguments and thelp
