I hope he comes into a case of Scotch minus counter- feit labels and the usual bullets, I have just finished reading a recently published book on Custer’s last fight. It tells how, as a result of corrupt politics, the Indians were better armed than their opponents, the U. S. cavalrymen. Take the la- table lack of co-ordination ex- hibited by our army units in French fields, according to the author of “Chevrons.” Last, take the prohibi- tion situation. If prohibition is not deliberately arming the corrupt el ment of the country by giving it a ar road to wealth via bootleggin Il eat all the iron hats in Prince- ton, N. J. One m very well ask wotinells to be the next blunder. Regarding the improved condition of the poor, the Chicago Tribune recently st the average family requires a mii mum of about fifteen hundred. Where are some to get it when the average Ww is between thirty-five and forty cents an hour? All of the members of some families are em- ployed, with the result that oth more deserving people find it ex- tremely difficult to find work of any lind. In this neighborhood, and Coubtless all over the country, there are men instructors in the public schools whose wives also teach, while a large number of young uni grads are unable to find an op ing as teacher. I can distinctly see a hell of a lot of liberty around our glorious country, but I do not like its distribution, Disgusted Towan P. S.—Out here in the woods we have had nothing to live for, save Jupee, since I found six bottles of pre-war beer in the cellar three years ago. Burlington, I January 16, 1 In Behalf of Borah Dear Editor: For the first time since I have been reading Jupsr, I am going to criti the magazine. The first objection I offer is that in the “Theatrical Num- ber,” Vol. 92, Number 2363, there was printed two columns called “Past Performances.” With one exception the thing is good, but that exception ruins the total aspect. Senator Borah is put down for Much Ado About Nothing — Shakespeare. ‘This is a wrong interpretation. It should have been the name of Representative Blanton of Texas. ‘This man blows —VOLTAIRE off more steam than the entire per- sonnel of the Senate and House com- bined. enator Borah is one of the few in- telligent men in the Senate. When he speaks, he means business. While I am about it, I wish to say that George Jean Nathan is the only dramatic critic I read any more. He says what he thinks, and I like that method. Please tell him that he has one loyal supporter at any rate. I also wish to congratulate you on the wonderful satire put across in the ‘Theatrical Number.

An Absent Friend Dear Jvver: I know that you are being over- flooded with such correspondence as mine, but I cannot restrain myself from’ writing. I always was a follower and ardent reader of your magazine, but it was not until I came to Europe that I sensed the real value of Jupce (a case of absence makes the heart’ grow fonder). It is not every issue that reaches me in this beautiful but downtrodden country, where wine, women and song are a reality and not a myth. ‘Then consider my joy when I can sit down behind a glass of wine and read the best magazine in the world. It is like a life-saver to a drowning man. While on the subject of drink, per- mit me to inform you that during my seven months in the various countries of Europe I have n less drunken- ness than I have in the U, S. in one —especially after a big football sie!
