FISH OF ONE: FOWL OF ANOTHER.
A man was convicted this week in the circuit court oh a charge of assaulting a twelve-year old girl. The girl was a stepdaughter of the defendant. The mother of the girl separated from the defendant : n .I then complained to Mrs. Shyder, probation offic r, and the red-eyed law got in its work. The e were many people in the court room who heard the trial who did not believe the witnesses. The offense elated back four years and the thought occurred to many that it took the girl’s mother a long
time to find out what was going on.

The people of Muncie are wondering how it s comes that relatives of officers of the juvenile court can get by in such cases when the penitentiary seems to be yawning for any other person charged with stepping aside from the path of rectitude. Such brazen disregard for public opinion will eventually reap its own reward.

Making The World Safe For Koo-Koos
(By Johnny Nightshirt.)
According to recent dispatches Japan has some notion of challenging Uncle Sam to mortal combat. We don’t know of a better time to mix things with the
yellow peril. We‘re not much on the jingo order, but by heck us kluckers are simply aching for a scrap with some
of those furriners and the Japs will do for a starter. We are the only real, one hundred percent Americans and will furnish all the money and do all the fighting. We’re going to organize a regiment right here in Mun-
cie and the aliens will have to keep their money in their pockets and stay at home. u ./•, • - ■
We‘re thinking of electing Sam Bemenderfer colonel
of our regiment, partly on account of his pure hundred percent American name and partly because he didn’t do any fighting in the last war and wouldn’t put up a dime
for the Red Cross.
Sam played it pretty slick. Two women ran Sam ragged trying to get money for the Red Cross, but Sam simply talked them out of it. Finally, one of them, not knowing that Sam was later to be a one hundred percent American, wrote the Red Cross headquarters a sassy letter declarin’ that Sam owned two automobiles and six Airedale dogs, but wouldn’t put up a dime for his country. George Roeger has been unanimously elected to carry the flag. George ducked, of course, when the last war started and when the work or fight order came quit tending bar and went to work at the Warner Gear. There were some who were unkind enough to call George a draft dodger, but his war record was cleared by a one hundred percent jury who soaked the editor of the Post-Democrat good and plenty for questioning the patriotism of this hero who elected to work instead of fight. Lloyd Kimbrough will be put in the front rank. Somebody will probably have to tie him to keep him from going over the top all by himself and licking the whole Japanese
army.
It almost broke Lloyd’s heart to stay at home during the world war, but somebody was needed to keep the bridge works going and make four minute speeches. Maybe Lloyd will donate the two hundred percent profit made on war materials by his factory during the last war. Majr Wilbur Ryman wants to be colonel, but we all think Sam ought to have the first chance at it. Wilber ought to be satisfied with the glory he got out of the last war. Enlisting as a lowly captain of the swivel chair hussars, our hero engaged the Teuton foe in Washington, D. C., and fought, bled and won his major’s spurs (which he wore mainly to keep his feet from slipping off the varnished desk) and emerged from the world war decorated with a leather medal for marksmanship, av/arded to the swivel chair patriots who were able to hit the cuspidor at ten paces. This gallant soldier of fortune, who sacrificed his all for his country by drawing a salary of four hundred and fifty dollars a month for directing the activities of a stenographer or two in the office of the judge advocate general, and thus made the world safe for democracy, ought to step to the rear now and let Sam have his chance. Wilbur saved his country once and the law says plain enough that you can’t put a man in jeopardy twice for the same offense. Parson Gibson is another blood drinker who ought to have a chance to fight this time instead of talk about it. The parson belongs to the Delaware County Horsethief Detectives and he ought to be used to packing a gun by this time. Since none but hundred percent, native, white Protestant, Gentile Americans are to do all the fighting hereafter, the regulation uniform will, be a bed sheet and a Mother Goose hat. All of us kluckers in good standing have got our own Sears & Roebuck $1.75 revolvers, guaranteed to shoot backwards as well as forward, so we’re ready for the fray. There will be no need of draft boards this time to make George Roeger and Frank Pelham go to work. Conscription will be known no more. When the war starts Doc Evans will merely have to give the word and Daisy Doodle Barr’s nightshirt factory will do the rest.'
