The Judge on the Bench “HIINERY FORD, of all peepul, and a smart fella if I ever see one, goes and gits hisself insulted a couple a days agone by a cute little paperhanger in Berlin who always looks like his pants was fallin’ off. Some twinty years ago or less, when Hinery was just growin’ up good, he got hisself a reputation of pickin’ on Jews. The other day darlin’ little Adolf, the Hitler, sez to hisself sez he, over in Ameriky they're kickin’ my Bunds aroun’ and I'll make me a ges- ture, no less; so he ups and hangs a Nazi decora- tion on Hinery’s bosom and Lo and Behold! Hinery grabs it. Now, if there is,one man in the land who was Y earnin’ a’ reputation for havin’ a lot of common sinse, up to that day, it was Hinery, but, So Help Me! if he thinks that beau- tiful ribbon and fourteen cints worth of bronze was meant for anythin’ but a pat on the back for the old anti-Semitic talk, then Hinery isn’t the man I thought he was and I'm not so sure I can trust his tear axles, ayther! There's about as much in common betune a good American and one of Adolf’s little byes as there is betune a soy bean and St. Swithin’s Day. I'm not so sure that Hinery’s goin’ to sleep well o° THE JUDGE FOR SEPTEMBER nights until he sends back the swate little token, when he has to remimber how many times it must ha’ been dipped in the throat-blood of definseless pee- pul before it was handed to him. Hinery’s father, William, came out of the ould sod near Cork and I still want to think that a man who stands for all the things he has, is too big, on calm refliction, to be used as a piece o’ chape propaganda for that dirty-mouthed proponent of oh-so-pure Ar- yanism, Mr. Josey Goebbels. How that low-comedy team, Josey and Adolf, must have chuckled to thim- selves to make such a grand sucker of Hinery. é And that careful secretary of Hinery’s who writes let- ters saying, “The matter will be brought to Mr. Ford’s attintion,’ and who never afterward answers a letter, must have been on- his vacation. Hinery may not need the support .of those millions of Americans and good Germans who despise the chapeness of the Nazi per- forminces, but he does need his silf-respict and he has lost both until he looks this Hitler gisture of a medal in the face for what it is,” Mr. Seamus Clancy as he leaned comfortably against a new Chevrolet, comicbooks.com
