SHEEP THAT WENT ASTRAY
The great metropolis of the Pacific, San Francisco,
dedicates “President’s Day- with a ringing prayer: A
new spirit has come upon the laiuj since you thus
We are grateful for your splendid achievements thus
far; we hope and pray for your continued strength and
guidance; that your great tasks may be completed
Thus, as in the days when the new code came to
mankind, men ana women, like sheep once astiaj, ai
returning to the fold and subscribing anew to the old
nrinciples, now re-tfnthroned by one whose life is the
vm epitome of civic and spiritual righteousness and
whose very personality seems to engender confidence
and courage among a people. These principles are simp
fn the'r understanding Underlying them is the highest
morality of government, of business and of a g
pe01,lt s a strikingly vivid period of history. To thus
behold the leader of the nation the recipient of this voice
of confidence, which is rolling the breadth and length of
the land and gaining force as it echoes within the halls
of Congress is to witness something never befoie known
in the nation. . , „ f
One may easily share the sentiment and feelings ot
President Roosevelt, when thse plaudits smite his cons
ciousness—“well done, thou good and faithful servant,
enter into the glory of thy kingdom.” They are as old as
Biblical history, and as pure as they were on the day
thev were first uttered.
' Nothing so adds to the courage and strenght oi a
leader as an expression of praise.
Is it Joan Crawford or Crawfishing7

The President of Cuba must have failed to make
good his promise of two fighting chickens in eveiy coop.
What we wish to behold is a prohibitionist on a July
day in Washington, trying to argue his cause with the
President while the latter’s iced beer is growing Hat.

In a special message to The Gateway from Tunnel
where he is studying glacier worms relations to earth
quakes, Sourdough Bill says: As Jong as I am mayor
of Porkypine City they won’t build no skyscrapers un
less they agree to make everything above the first story
of india rubber. Pve had my false teeth jarred out by
earthquakes for the last time.
Having exhausted all other incentives for publicity,
Bernard Shaw might try committing suicide.
★ ★ ★ ★
Never mind about tariff on Japanese fish. Just put
an embargo on her earthquakes.
★ ★ ★
Just after Mr. Hoover had put two automobiles into i
every garage, President Roosevelt steps in and starts
them running on the road.
★ ★ ★
Sourdough Bill writes from Tunnel: I see by the
papers the Governor will sign and give out the text of
the beer bill—as soon as he can understand the thing.
