Thus spoke President Hoover last week, leaving no doubt that he would promptly approve the request of Major General Smedley Darlington ("Old Gimlet Eye") Butler for retirement from the Marine Corps Oct. 1. General Butler will live in Philadelphia, is said to be planning to run for the Senate...
...point, and make room for other news besides Uncle Cocoa. Let's get out a well rounded paper . . . with all the news. . . . And listen, you pack of delightful bastards ... tie your hats on because we're all going for a fast ride." Editor Gauvreau is 39, lean, gimlet-eyed, hardboiled, literate. He walks with a limp, the result of "shellshock" suffered as a youngster when practical jokers set off a Fourth of July cannon under his bed room window.

His immediate audience was a group of grocers assembled in the same Philadelphia Elks' Club where General Butler...

C., has been on the alert for international slights. Last week he thought he had found one. He thought he had caught Dantes Bellegarde, the Haitian Minister in Washington, saying that the Haitian fort for capturing which he (Butler) won the Congressional Medal of Honor, was a fictitious fort. Wrathfully General Butler appealed to the Navy Department to have this ugly blot wiped from his record...
