Drawn by GiLeest WILKINSON Barons—Et > V. Dess Mr. Debs has enjoyed recently a long rest from coal bills. nis, no doubt, has prevented his assuming that acrid and bitter attitude toward profiteers so well -veloped in the rest of us. This leni y of view, therefore, plushisgreat eloquence, should turn the trick, even for the coal man, Coau 3ERS — Winuiam JEN Bryan Whose Christian spirit, properly ad- ministered, has made his fortune. What a beautiful thing it would be to see the lion and the lamb lie down together in this instance! We can think of no greater proof that peace, Mr. Bryan’s ideal, had at last descended upon this earth. Mr. Bryan, sir, we challenge you to the supreme test—a stump speaking tour in behalf of the maligned and misunderstood bootlegger. Bootr Gotr Cappres—Joun D. RockEFELLEeR This country contains no more enthusi astie and persistent golfer than Mr. Rockefeller. Mr. Rockefeller knows the value of a golf ball and also that of a penny and he knows how young men rise “What ’a you know ‘bout horses?” “G'wan! Ain't I bin drivin’ em all my life!” in the world. He could paint with the sunset brush of romance the story of your brand new golf ball, lost to you, perhaps, but doing duty, nevertheless, as a humble brick in the edifice of fortune which some promising young American is laboriously building for himself. Woot Senarors—Mary’s Lamp No longer the humble quadruped of legend, but smelling sweetly of eau de Cologne and all decked out with pink ribbons as tokens of regard from Con- gress. Surely her simple bleatings would melt our hearts toward the authors of her sudden rise in the social scale. What are we that we should complain when our pets, for their own good, are removed beyond our reach? PrizeE-FIGHTERS—JANE ADDAMS Miss Adda: once said about the opposing armies in Flanders that they were composed of drunkards reeling across No Man’s Land at each other's throats. She must be especially drawn to prize-fighters, therefore, because they train for their encounters so rigidly; their utter sobriety makes every blow a bene- diction; not even the claret they cause to flow is alcoholic. Miss Addams could do the prize-ring a great service by bringing these facts to the attention of Mr. Volstead’s fellow-citizens. Scutptrors—Joun F. Hy Mayor or New York City Whose strictures on the recently erected monument to “Ci vii are a revela- tion of his arti: whatever he may know about civic virtue. Indeed, it is rumored that an adjacent statue of the martyred patriot, Nathan Hale, with his hands tied behind his back, he mistook for one of Houdini, which shows how little the subject interests him as compared with the form of statuary. And that, of course, is a weakness of sculptors which he could make sympathetically intelligible to the minds of the common people. Eprrors—Tue Nationa Moron This gentleman is looming larger in our national consciousness with every day that passes. Editors are becoming pain- fully aware of him. It is only fair that he should become aware of editors and in his own language let the country know what a simple folk they are at heart, harmless and almost human. comicbooks.com
