MERELY COMMENT
Lorimer's enemies never let up.
Having busted him politically and
put a dent in him financially,
They now seek to punish every
man who was ever his friend.
Lorimer's unforgiveable crime was
not letting the newspaper bosses boss
him.
Lawson is now trying to stab
Thompson with that Lorimer dirk.
Yet he is snuggling up mighty close
to Roger.
Wasn't Sullivan at one time Lor
imer's friend, too?
Politics sure does make strange
bedfellows.
Newspaper polls indicate that a pri
mary is one thing and an election
quite another.
Will those judges put another mil
lionaire on the South Park board?
Why not put a human being on for
a change?
Now they want to put a cavalry
armory in the park.
That's no nice place for a strike
breakers' armory.
Build it inside the stockyards.
Leave the parks to the people and
pursuits of peace.
People who enjoy the parks should
kick hard against building that ar
mory in Lincoln park.
One zoo is enough.
We don't hear so much now about
German militarism as about British
navalisnl.
John Bull claims dominion over the
seas by right of might.
Guess we'll have to build a big navy
after all.
Must be a very satisfactory regis
tration both parties claim the big
end of it
Politicians now go from house to
house asking people how they are go
ing to vote.
In some houses folks very prop
erly tell those inquisitive gentlemen
that it is none of their business
You don't have to tell anybody how ,
YOU are going to vote. That'
YOUR business.
