"COCK ROBIN."
There is a fracus on among the
repub_icans. It's all about who's going
to kill "Cock Robin."
"Cock Robin" in question is the
1920 promise to "stay out of the
League" which promise now lies in a
d-epl,orable condition, in the hospital
of G. 0. P. campa � n promise, fatal-
ly sick. All "Cock Robin" needs now
is the final blow Lind he'll be ready
for the G. O. P. m orgue which is al-
ready crowded with the corpses of
broken campaign promises, so live
and hea! tl-iy a short two years ago.
All of which proves how certain
is 'the uncertainty of Republican
campaign bunk. Prior to the 1920
election when they got permission to
take charge of things, the republi-
can aggregation was the "pink of
perfection." Each G. 0. P politician
was a twin sister to St. Peter of
Golden Gate fame. Since then these
"white linen" lobsters have gone into
"ca -hoots" with Wall Street, and now
their pre-election sanctity is without
form and void and darkness concelas
their motives. Ere long now the
awakened conscience of an aroused
pepole will say, "Let there be light,"
and we'll be darned if it won't be so.

it, we are a part of it, and we do
not know when the world began to
grow or when it will reach perfection.
Therefore it is more difficult for us
to see the evolution of the world of
which we are a part than it is for
us to see the evolution or growth of
a plant of which we are not a part.
In conclusion, it is enough to say
that while you and I and all humanity
are absorbed in our regular cares,
moved by hopes and fears, the grand
and stately march of evolution pro-
gressp onward and upward, in the
fulfillment of the inevitable law that
is gradually changing us from animals
of tinge to immortals of a great
