EDISON ON POLITICS
In a recent interview Thomas A. Edison discussed
government, politics and business in characteristically
direct fashion, and referred pointedly to the wasteful
ness of government bureaucracy.
Speaking of the government’s ventures into the
business field he declared that the government never
really goes into business, for it never makes ends meet,
adding that it just mixes a little business with a lot of
politics and no one ever gets a chance to find out what
is actually going on.
Mr. Edison is not pessimistic, however, but express
es his belief that continued progress and prosperity lie
ahead of us. He referred to what may be expected dur
ing the Hoover administration as follows:
“One of the highest duties of the President is to
keep the government out of business. He would perform
a great public service if he did nothing else. That is one
of the many things that we can trust Hoover to do. That
is his biggest job, and I should include in that job the
clearing out of the bureaucracies which are growing up
in Washington and becoming a wasteful nuisance.”
President Hoover may, indeed, keep the government
out of further disastrous excursions into the field of
business, but he will find it very difficult to get rid of
the army of bureaucrats who harass the people while
feeding at the public crib. Thev appear to be too strong
lly intrenched ever to be dislodged.
The new $1,000 bills bear the portrait of Salmon P.
Chase. But we must admit that this is only hearsay.
The Alaska legislature was in session for 60 days;
the gathering of the clans cost the Territory about $130,
000, more or less, and all we can figure out they ac
complished was the passing of a boxing bill.

WICKEDNESS PREFERRED”
A comical story of a couple of married couples who get
into one great tangle of miss-understandings.
A writer of cave-man stories was expected to live like his
characters and, hating to disappoint his fair admirers, he
tries to act the part when wrecked with one of them, but
being a timid and bashful man he sure makes a mess of
everything in a way that will make your sides ache.
He tried to be the fiery hero of his fiery South Sea ro
mances, but how his knees shook when he had to act.
DO WOMEN REALLY PREFER WICKED
MEN?
If you’re a woman, come and see what your
ideal caveman would look like in real life.
If you’re a man, come and see what to avoid in
your caveman stuff.
To start the laughter we will give you a
