BUREACRATIC LITANY
Come all ye prospectors, sourdough, herring chokers,
rabbit stranglers and sslmon gutters—hark ye!
Thou shalt not tease, annoy or produce temperamen
tal reactions in any brown bear, neither shall ye slay him.
for verily he is a ward of our bureau, a vision sweet to
the eyes—when we fly over him in an airplane—and
bringetb greet jov £p our Eastern friends, who keep us
in our jobs. If thou wouldst rear sheep, goats and other
kine, teach them to eat salmon bellies and clams, lest
they wander into the bosky dells and grassy slopes re
served exclusively for brown bears. If ye wander afield
in search of a spot to pitch your tent or build your cabin,
and encounter a brown bear, speak soothingly and gently
to him if his temper be not riled aforetime, he may be
satisfied to take only a leg off you, otherwise, his temper
ament calls for two hams and a piece of the brisket. If
he be in a playful mood, romp with him, tickling him in
the ribs and says: “coochee-eoochee;” for albeit he is a
jolly good fellow and especially fond of sourdoughs. If
he catch ye by the collar and seat of the breeks, tosses
you into the air, walks along your keel and spins on his
heel in your face, laugh uproariously lest he gets rough
and increases your height six inches by pulling your
neck and heels.
If he wouldst play “patty-cake, baker’s man” on
your face, do not spatter tobacco juice in his eyes, for lo!
he abominateth the noxious weed. If he be hungry, let
not thv selfish nature overmaster ye, for sourdoughs
are plentiful and brown bears getting scarce for lack of
proteims, calories and vitamins; thou shouldst permit
him several bites from the ten derest portion of thy
anatomy, preferably the rump. If he then refuses to lis
ten to admonition and cajolery, sit ye down, write us a
letter, and we will submit it to the curator of the wild an
imal bureau, whose report will in due time be forwarded
to the secretary of agriculture, who will call for a com
mission of inquiry, whose duty it shall be to visit the
scene of the argument, summon the bear and ascertain
if you obeyed regulations and are not wilfully lying and
endeavoring to cast unjust asperations upon the bear;
wherewith, if thy plaint be just, a permit will be issued
granting you the privilege of spanking the bear with a
paddle having a handle not exceeding 12 inches, a t hick
ness of one-half inch and a breadth of three inches, free
from knots, nails or holes that might spoil the fur and
rob some seeker of specimens for a museum the joy of
presenting it to his lady friend.
If thou livest not through the scrimmage have thy
will properly signed and sealed that it may be placed
in the archives in the Capitol at Washington, as a warn
ing to others that human life in the brown bear country
is nothing compared to the joy of big game hunters out
for a bit of recreation.
FUTILE MEDDLING
Another investigation by the federal trade com
mission has come to nought except to spend more public
funds and cause annoyance and expense to certain indus
trial companies concerned.
In its findings after investigating the relationships
between three corporations—du Pont, General Motors
and U. S. Steel—the commission admitted that it had
found nothing wrong, while a minority of the commiss
ion itself characterized the whole proceeding as “bur
eaucracy gone “insane.”
It is merely another example of an investigation or
dered solely because some politician suspects something,
with nothing more than imagination to back it up.
The disposition of the senate and other government
agencies to harass important and useful industries and
businesses upon the slightest pretext has become an ob
session, and a most expensive one to the public.
The Tennessee legislature is in session, so we may ex
pect some important pronouncements on zoology.

rated the greatest movie actress, the Sarah
Bernhardt of the silent drama. The famous
star of ‘The Birth of a Nation/ ‘Romoja,, ‘An
nie Laurie,’ ‘La Boheme,’ and the ‘Scarlet Let
ter,’ in her latest success,
“THE ENEMY’
A fascinating drama of love and hate—Fan
aticism and immorality—where necessity knows
no law. A powerful story of the
GAY CITY OF VIENNA
where life is seen in all extremes from the crud
est poverty where bread and water are welcome
to the arrogant, luxury soaked aristocracy.
Supporting the star is a great cast including
RALPH FORBES — KARL DANE
GEORGE FAWCETT — POLLY MORAN
