These are they who weep crocodile tears over the poor workmen robbed of his beer because their bootlegger's bills are exorbitant. It is well that as sane and char eyed a man as MacDonald should have reminded America that the working man gets a bank balance or a Ford in return for his deprivation. His words more than counters balance the drivel with which Judge; Jr., ot al unintentionally lend point to the convictions of Mr. Boreh, Senator...
