ST JUDGE FOR YOURSELF 2 An Act of Bigotry To the Editors of Jupce: Dear Jupce: Here's a hand old boy. Thanks for the editorial page. I'd shoot the newsdealer who sold me Jupce without it. . ‘The real plot of this note, however, is not solely to slap you on the back but to ask you what you think about the action of Justice Mitchell of New Yorl refusing incorporation to the “American Association for the Advancement of Atheism”? Now, what business of that judge's is it for what purpose the corporation is being formed, so long as it is not for violating the law? Any other re- ligious, political, moral or scientific organization is incorporated without a question. What does it matter if they're going to wreck buildings or re- figions?. A'God that can’t survive without some kindly hand boosting him over the rough spots doesn't rate much reverence from me. Religions are a lot like buildings, anyway. The better they’re built, the harder they are to wreck. Sorry to disappoint your critics but I'm not an atheist. Occasionally I see a dirty crack against your editorial voli. Although I don’t always agree with you on the Klan I feel that Mr. Houghton hits home oftener than the above mentioned squawkers would have us believe. (Mr. Houghton is “W.M.H.” isn’t be?) Particularly on the juestion of too many laws do I a with him. ‘he ave citizen is comparable to our old friend Gulliver who when captured by the Lilli- putians was tied, not with a few heavy, noticeable ropes but with thousands of small ropes which didn’t look so bad but rendered him equally power- less and cut worse. To-day Gulliver is us and the ropes are laws. . hi is may seem immature judgment on the part of a recently graduated high school student, but I'd bet the British Navy against an ounce of used Hasheesh that my present judgment exceeds that of the most highly developed censor by ten or oa eed Ber cea. “s “a4 : .

Permit me to con- gratulate you. It is becoming more nauseous than ever to observe the silly boasting and inane antics of the so-called Anti-Saloon League. Their Thanksgiving Procla- mation, recently emitted in the public Beiaty is the most illogical and ridiculous thing published since the anti-evolution repartee at Dayton, Tenn. At a recent gab-fest in Washington, D. C., he by the wk. of Temperance and there appeared among the usual absurdities, a statement with sinister possibilities. Quoting in part they say that “Prohibition is not primarily for the purpose of reducing drunkenness. It is founded upon the conviction that the licensing of a common nuisance . not ethical and con- travenes the spirit of the preamble to the Con- stitution.” In other words, if one’s daily bath should ever be considered a nuisance, and inci- dentally frequent bathing was at one time frowned upon as wicked, the w. k. Board might bring down legislative wrath again. If submitted to our whole existence could thus be dominated by this sort of sumptuary regulation. Is it not pest high time the American public got their rakes relined? Keep up your excellent work. fery truly yours, New York City, Harry Sn, December Ti, Toes, ay Seer A Buck Private Speaks Up My dear Mr. Houghton: Having read your recent article printed in June regarding the activ- ities of our General Butler in Philadelphia, please let a “buck private” have his say in defense of a man whom we all admire. I candidly think that your criticism of General Butler's services in Philadelphia is nothing more in sarcasm. some of your editorials of the Past you are to be congratulated, but I must state that your recent article about him was very cowardly and a very poor piece of propaganda to broadcast over the country, for those to read who, like yourself, have nothing else to do but to criticise and find fault with others, when they could do much for the betterment of themselves and their fellow men if they would take the lead like our General Butler and “do things” instead of destroy. You are correct when you state that General Butler is a strict disciplinarian, I speak from experi- ence and I know. I have had the honor and pleas- tre (yes!” I mean pleasure! even, though 1 did have to shoulder a pick and shovel sometimes) of serving under him and I am sure I voice the true opinion of the entire Marine Corps when I say t there is no fairer or squarer officer in any branch of the service than our General Butler. and we are with him any time, any place and anywhere, to the last man!
