THE GOOD OLD BULL
In a careless moment of mental aberration and foot
less leisure we recently fell so inexcusably low as to |
read a few bars from the proceeedings of our dignified
and ponderous solons down in Washington, to-wit, the
Congressional Record, as they were presumably clearing
the stage for action on farm relief.
If you want a laugh, or want to get mad and have
nothing to get mad about, or if you want to acquire
some mild wonder at the kind of men the voters send
to congress, a few pages of the Record will give you
the material. It isn’t exactly a waste of time because j
you will be either amused or disgusted at the way the.
nation’s business is conducted. _ j
We say they were presumably clearing the boards\
for farm relief, but what a heck of a time they had do- |J
ing it. * i,
For over a week after the special session convened ,
the mighty solons palavered and orated. Each one tried i
to go on record as to his love for the farmer, the honest i
son of the soil, who constituted the backbone of the <]
nation but who eventually turned out to be only the 1
tail. How they loved the down-trodden tiller of the fer- (
tile field! How they worshipped at the shrine of that }
little farm cottage where the farmer’s patient help-meet!,
worked her fingers to the bone! Alas and alack! There t
was many a dry throat in those noble halls.
Each one of the solons was laying on the salve
for the good, old boys back in the home state, and they
were wasting time and drawing down a good, fat gov- j
eminent salary while doing it. Once in a while some Sen- <
ator would get up and say he thought they had come J
there to relieve the farmer not talk about him, but (
somebody else would get the floor again and hog-tie the;*
old bull and pull out the tremulo stop and say the old 1
stuff all over again. It took them a long time to get
down to the tariff and the debenture and other “econom
ically unsound” propositions, but you know us boysj>
must keep the home fires burning. r
Some of the doings of our legislators are passing
strange. Kodiak wanted at least $25,000 for a new school
house to replace the old delapidated structure that has
served over 100 pupils and four teachers. The law givers
cut it down to $17,000 and now they want the towns
people to furnish some pipe and volunteer to dig a sew
erage drain.
Now that the fishing season is here don’t be surpris
ed if some day—by error, of course—we punch the
wrong key and instead of saying sockeye salmon it
comes out “cockeyed’ salmon.
A chronic grouch complains that he has spent $40
for travel insurance and hasn’t been in a single wreck.
Its been over 20 years since they talked about
“pounds” of gold in Alaska, yet that’s the way Babcock
& Downey handled it at their Nuka Bay strike last sum
mer. Bpy, what a stampede that find would bring on if
they had it down in Nevada!
We were asked yesterday when the governor of Ju
neau was due back from California and, for once,—
honest Agnes!—we were stumped.
It is reported upon good authority that the special
convention at the Capitol (congress if you will) on farm
relief, is just about over. And what a relief!

RIVERSIDE, June 11, (£>)—James
Mustol, reported wealthy liquor

home by his wife who refused to
agree to Mustol quitting bootleg

live like other men but he just
wouldn’t. Our little children knew
how made his money and I’ve
never been happy with him in the
liquor business. I was happier tak- j

I “ Resurrection ”
A WONDERFUL PICTURE OF THE FAMOUS BOOK BY
COUNT LEO TOLSTOY
The grapd old Russian writer who stirred the world with
his power! ul novels of Russian life a generation ago.
This is the powerful story of life 40 years ago when Rus
sia was both Heaven and Hell, where the acme of aris
tocracy and peasantry flourished, wrhere the masses
slaved for the classes more than in any other land, where
the word Siberia made strong men tremble, where the
anarchist and nihilist were most active.
Tolstoy’s books are classics and this one is rated as one
of the best. A carefully selected cast headed by
ROD LA ROCQUE
DOLORES del RIO — MARC MacDERMOTT,
and COUNT LLYA TOLSTOY, son of the
world famed author.
This play is a story drama highly spiced but should be
seen by every intelligent person.
We will show a FOX NEWS with it.
; NOTE: Admission will be 50c and 25c
