Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 67, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 November 1911 — Don’t Get Gay. [ARTICLE]

Don’t Get Gay.

Attorney General Wickersham says he cannot understand why a small business man injured by a trust does not take advantage of the law which permits the collection, by civil action, of threefold damages. This is positively Mr. Wickersham’s first appearance as a humorist. If he were not at the head of the department of justice he would not be funny at all. By the time that a trust gets through with a small business man the small business man has about as much fight in him as a chipmunk. If he were able to fight he would first of all have to prove that there was a trust, and that is something that the attorney general, with all the power of the United States behind him, has not done many times as yet. Mr. Wickersham should not get gay. The lips of small business men are sore and it hurts them to laugh.
