WINGS AND HALOS WHERE'S YOURS?

It seems that when a Republican tries to survive in the dead heat of a Democratic administration, he is not a saint in organized labor. Each time one of the boys gets out of line the halos of the National something or other gets adjusted.

When Faubus can't hog the whole front pages when a union eminent steps out of line. However, other gents are also subject to bad doings but rarely they get the front pages unless they steal a gavel from a supreme court or something.

For instance, hear this: a number of auto insurance firms have tapped the public till for copy. Flatfoot spelled that dub. Cur approx $5 million. This tasty tidbit made any front even middle pages.

As everybody knows all bankers are pure and pristine. You rarely hear of the fact that more than a million bucks is grabbed by some of the gents in neat clothes every day. They call this embezzlement but corn opelis. Chef captain Websterian let come half baked hoodlum try to hold up one of these banks and not get away with two bucks and does that lad get the front page?

And have you read on page 34 near the comics about the health insurance boob-bumpers who employ sin leading advertis to entice their clients into the policy? The fine print is nice care companies on such to the simple dus who think everybody but labor unions are honest.

Material gentlemen comes out their wings and their halos do tarnish but it to spare o devoted to the Lord I can get you a number of cases right here in which men of the cloth have been apprehended for a NT Chicago nut try got breaks from the on hearted cops en the papers never get the lowdown.

Before you pick an undertaker as the in scripture take a look first at the field. The aa ca oihezo ro oul c dor athiaa the tabu caio o ahro vu can chading I all the taeots not just cop.
