THE KALEIDOSCOPE
BT C. MeCUMBER
It is a mighty fine thing for Mr.
Scopes, of Tennessee, that the law
yers of the legislature of that state
have the great mass of the American
people against them, otherwise he
would be tied to the stake, his clothes
saturated with coal oil, and he forth
with would be burned for heresy.
Heresy is first cousin to witchery, and
witchery is mother of intolerance.
No, we will not have another world
war, but the fanatics and high-brows
are doing their damdest to start a
war of extermination in the United
States of all those who do not permit
the anointed to think for them.
It is indeed a gratifying spectacle
to note the passing of some of our
millionaires and large money owners.
Gratifying to the end that some of
the murdering that they committed
while cluttering up this earth, will
have ended. Of all the hell-holes,
damnable places that man ever col
lected rent from, was owned by an
individual who sucked his last ounce
of blood, carved his last ounce of
flesh to the end that he would pass
over to the devil's domain a wealthy
individual. The idea they carry is to
the end that where five rooms served
one family, today it must do for five
families with the rent covering five
families instead of one. The world
will be the better for their passing.
Rather disappointing, but it works
out that way. Many of the schools
that make it a business of grinding
out lawyers do not teach evolution in
any sense of the word. Where slav
ery once was good "law" ik is good
"law" even in these so-callCT prohi
bition days. Slavery was an institu
tion upheld by the courts for many
years, and slavery today is being up
held by many of the damphol skin
flints who are granted a sheepskin.
The world does move, but the minds
of the legal element is as a rigid,
immovable thing. Once a slave, al
ways a slave. And thus the poor sim
pleton on the bench, in his egotism
grinds out injunctions and would have
you and me believe that a critter is
a fellow being—and grants an injunc
tion which states that it is against
his ethics to recognize any worm
other than the worm that writes the
opinion.
o
The daily press has been called,
for many years, "policy players."
And "policy" has been outlawed
Briefly: When an arm of the govern
ment functions like a dead mackerel
the daily press notes the fact with
"The administration has done all
within its power, but the laxness of
enforcement is incredible." Get it?
The poor fish who is in charge is
political pumpkin God save the
squash—and his name must not be
mentioned. Hold his party responsi
ble. That is: He smells to heaven,
has no brain that a polywog would
claim, and hence nobody is amenable
Great is the locating of donothingism
by the daily press.
o
The militarization of the prohibition
enforcement pap-suckers is on. With
in several decades it will be possible
to find honest men meanwhile, it is
admitted that for five years no honest
man has been connected with the wall
eyed snitching bureau. Now it is pro
posed to militarize that part of the
18th amendment. Oh, yes, you are

supposed to be "minut^ men," but you
must not have a gun within your
domicile. The new move invites the
monkeys, jackals, baboons and their
relatives to sit on the force. Why
don't they place Anderson (ex-con
vict) or some other mazuma-made
Babylonian at the head of the graft
organization.
o
Coue, when he was in these United
States, averred that the "world was
growing better." It is. And if there
any question in your mind as to
this, simply ask the banker whose
bank has declared another 100 per
cent dividend. That banker has skin
ned the worker, skinned the business
man, and his teeth are cut to take the
hide from his father and mother. Yea,
financially, the world is growing bet
ter for those who worship at the cross
of the Golden Calf, but it means hell
for the army that does the fighting.
SLIGHT
IMPROVEMENT
In Labor Conditions ill
diana Reported
Bf International Lobor News Service.
Indianapolis, Ind.—A slight im
provement in labor conditions is noted
in Indiana, according to a report just
issued by the labor bureau. In the
bituminous coal industry the improve
ment is marked in some parts of the
state, especially as compared with
conditions a few months ago. rr
In other lines the improvement j|
slight. There is still a surplus of
men in emplyoment circles in all lines
save tool and dies makers, solderers
and finishers on auto bodies. The
auto trade is about the only one show
ing any real work. Not all these
plants are running anywhere near
full time, but none is closed down.
The building trade industry displays
some activity and promises to last
throughout the season in the larger
cities.
The furniture trade, foundry fab
rication and industry in general in
other cities of the state are mildly
active with reduced forces.
