A TOUCH OF HUMOR

Honestly, if you were called upon to select a person to deliver an oration upon the subject of "Betrayal of Trust in High Government Places," how many of you would select William Gibbs McAdoo? Well it don't matter. William Gibbs would appoint himself anyway, and go ahead with his moral lecture without much consideration of how it would sound coming from him. William Gibbs who is on his way back to Hollywood from a trying session with the senate delvers into the dregs of the Teapot, and the whole subject of oleaginous corruption was fresh upon his mind and conscience, so he shot a wad at Kansas City. William Gibbs said: "There can be no government with corruption in high places. This is a question of the life of the American nation. We must bring honesty back to government." Quite right as a general proposition. But the trouble with William Gibbs is that he is attempting to throw dust in the eyes of the public to blind them to his own and his party's sins in the past by prating of official morality in the present. If anything could be more morally putrid and financially decayed than the late administration in which William Gibbs was the main stem and held all the jobs, then point it out. Also, while William Gibbs is moralizing and hypocriting around, about a two by four oil scandal and kidding himself that there are no grease spots on his own raiment, let us present him with five of his own kind to every one of ours that were splashed by the Teapot upset. It is fine for William Gibbs to go about the country pulling a long face and discussing morality in high places. What's he trying to do, add humor to a dull and craggy presidential campaign?--Casper Daily Tribune.
