NCE upon a time the Lion, the Tiger, the Hippopotomas, the Jackass and the Elephant assembled
themselves together for the purpose of selecting a date when they would call a meeting of the representatives
of all the Fishes of the sea, the Birds of the air and the Beasts of the woods, so they might select a ruler of
all these who should serve for a term of four years. At the meeting it was decided not only to elect a New Ruler
every four years, but the Jackass was also appointed a committee of one to notify all the Fishes, Beasts, Birds and
Reptiles that, in the years when the Rulers were selected, they would not be expected to hustle quite so hard for
their daily food; in fact, in these years they were voluntarily to go on Half Rations and spend the time usually
devoted to caring for themselves and their families in bemoaning the fact that they were what they were and also
predicting direful things that would happen just as soon as the new Ruler was elected. All the animals, big and
little, were guided by the bray of the Jackass, except the Bees. The Bees called a meeting, buzzed the thing over,
and then through their Queen issued the following proclamation:
"We, the Bees of the universe, have attentively listened to and also carefully considered you and yourjbray
ing, Mr. Jackass, and we wish to say there will be nothing doing for us in the way of ''Laying Off" or Half Ration
line. We are satisfied there will be just as much Honey in the buckwheat in the years when Rulers are elected as
in any other "old years," and we purpose to get it. If you and the rest of the bunch want to grow lean and waste
one year in every four, why, go to it. Growl and bray your heads off if you choose, but as for us we will keep right
on gathering honey at the old stand.
MORAL:
We believe the average person of Hood River is an optimist. We believe whoever may be the next Presi
dent of the country, no matter how great or how good he may be, that the People will still continue to be bigger
than any; one man, and that Just so long as the PEOPLE THINK PROSPERITY and diligently WORK
toward THA T END, it will make jio appreciable difference who happens to be drinking the milk of the
White House cow.
yours truly.
