THE PRESIDENTAL SITUATION
We're figurin our reeders want th reel facks in th
Presidental situashun, an how it stans in status quo, if
not more so. So fer, th situashun's awful an sumthin ort
er be done bout it
Takin th republication party first. Besides Kool
itch, who ain't choosin t run, thar's Hurb Whover, an if
Hurb kin scare up a few more Mississippi floods he'll hev
a fare chanct t break th solid South an ride in on th crest
o th wave.
Then thar's Lowdown who says he'll do sumthin fer
th farmers, as “Low” knows the only chanct any feller's
got to bekum Presidint is t be fer th farmers an he ain't
in fer breakin tradishun yet.
On th other han we've got Charlie Hues who tried
it some yearn ago but fergot t tell th laborin men why he
was fer 'em till after it was too late; but enyhow Charlie's
a good scout and they's a lot o folks even over in Anchor
age thet's get less sense.
Senateer Borer ain't got no chanct, cause he's a kind
o Senater-at-large, so t speak, an since th comin campain's
jist a hoss race twixt faverite sons-a-guns thet lets Borer
out. Charlie Daws mite hey a good chanct, only Charlie
kant smoke at th meetins o th wimmin folks, we mean th
kind o wimmin thet meet fer politicks, an Charlie said las
weak he'd ruther hit th pipe than th sawdust trail o th
anti-tobacks. But thar's a heap o fellers worsen Daws
thet don't smoke haff as good terbacker.
Sumthin doin too on th Democratic side. Sins he
said t himself “Mac Adieu” thar ain't no Democritter
choosin t run as much as A1 Schmidt of New York, less it
be Jim Reed of Missoury. A lot o pepul think Al's th man.
But Schmiddy ain't no fool; an some feller poppin up in
Ogden, Eutaw, an sayin th hole West is behind Schmidt
ain't kerrect. It's surprisin tho how many folks is kind o
wishin they'd give Schmiddy a chanct t jist see if th coun
try could possibly be any wettem it is under a wet Phesi
dint. One thing, betcha A1 ud put th perscripshun drug
gist behind th barz an let th legitimite bootleggers hav a
chanct.
This paper believes in printin th news, an if enybody
noes more bout th situashun. trot out yer facks. On th
hole th outlook ain't so dark, ubt don't enybody worry
bout who's t go in; fer th only feller thet kin bring pros
perity an keep it fer th nex five yearz is YOU. An if yer
brain is hittin on all sillinders and yer keepin th wolf from
th door and lovin yer feller-man, thar's hope fer both th
politickal and human races.
EQUALITY UNDER LAW
t
Those who think there is no such thing as equality
under the law are reminded that the jury sworn to try
the cases of Albert B. Fall, former Secretary of the Inter
ior of the United States, and Harry F. Sinclair, million
aire oil operator, consisted of two clerks, a telephone girl,
a cable splicer, tire salesman, sales manager, ice agent,
bakery delivery foreman, department store floor mana
ger, tailor, a leather worker and a stone mason.
The old legal phase is that every man should be tried by a
“jury of his peers”. We would as soon stake the orderly
workings of justice in determining the fact of guilt or
innocence cn these “peers” as any other kind, because
such a cross section of everyday life could arrive at prac
tical conclusions.
With the invention of modem dress nature lovers
don't have to go away from our city streets to pursue
their hobby,
That Baltimore park policeman who told a woman to
pull her dress down ever her knees must have thought the
poor lady had on a rubber skirt.
Political quary: Will it be A1 Smith or Al's Myth?

STUOENTS FINE EVENT
DUNGING, MUSIC, [ITS
The party given to the High
School pupils and faculty .by the
Laughlin family at their Woodrow
residence, proved to be an enjoyable
affair from first to finish. From the
very first it was well planned, so
that every moment was a scene of
some activity, the last leaving all
in fine spirits.
Ghost-story telling was the first
on the .program. Four sides, formed
according to the name on the tag each
wore, told a diferent story, the win
ning side being awarded a large gold
en circulet (doughnut). Other games
were indulged in during the evening,
although dancing was the main fea
ture. The music was furnished by
a phonograph with a special radio
outfit attached to it which produced
more volume.
A special menu had been prepared
on which were such dishes as a
piece of the moon, golden circulet,
java, an island, links of friendship,
Adam’s ale, etc., of which one was
only allowed to choose four delicious
dishes. When the waiter or waitress
came with the eats, some were as
tounded to note that they had coffee,
but no sugar or milk; others had
water instead of the longed for ale,
while still others had hot dogs, but
no bread. However, this was only
the first course, for soon the whole
works was dragged upon the scene.
‘Yes sir, that was some feed!”
Some -more dancing and then the
party hopped into cars for the re
turn to town.
Twas some party, but the wind,
she sure -blew.
