BUSTED RESOLUTIONS
(By Bill Blue)
Well, pardner, how many resolutions
have you busted since the New Year
made its appearance? Or did you re
solve not to resolve anymore nohow?
If you did you are a lucky guy, for
New Yet^r resolutions are kind o’ like
cheap automobile tires, easily busted
at the first bump, and 1 venture to
say, there are more busted resolutions
than auto tires right aboi^t now.
In days gone, by \vi used to bust
them over a stump, and with an ach
ing head we would wabble around
holding to the stump with one hand
we would raise the other bud say,
“Never again, (hfc) by cracky, (hie)
I’m done for (hie) good, (hie) and all
the time (hie, hie) my old 'oman (hie)
said I couldn’t do it, (hie) but, by
Jimmie, I’ve showed her.”
And sometimes we would keep our
resolution awhole week. But since
the “anti’s” have pumpsd Uncle Sam
dry as a bone, we hav* to bust ’em
•over a busted automobile or busted
hopes. Most any busted thing is suf
ficient to bust a resolution.. So don’t
worry if yours isn’t busted; hold a
tight, grip on it or it soon will be.
But why make .resolutions at all.
The }vorld has been made safe for
democracy, and is moving along as
smart as a bob-tail bull in fly-time.
It’s true, we have misplaced, lost, or
blown off, the safety valve, and the
thing is kind o’ back-firing on us,
but all we need is a man brave enough
big enough, and heavy enough to sit
on the political machine shop. But.
somebody had better sit down on if
right pronto, for the biler is leaking
with a full head of steam on.
But we are' making progress'. We
are moving right along to somewhsrj
or other, and throug the few bright
snots leff ,n this old world, we shhv?
like a sore toe in a* now wash pan.
Wo have driven old John Barleycorn
ty th* tall timber and his booms are
getting lighter and fall mighty scat- i
tering. We are shipping the reds
(whatever fhey may he) out of the
country by the ship load. But you
m-P a red, don’t worry: you wijl have j
plenty of company, for we manufac- j
(ure them fast •* than we can shin ’em |
off. Everything s«ems to be turning
red thesr davs. The natural dispo-
O,t ' on people when they wore in the
dumps, use to he referred to as ‘‘hliu ’’
^”t now the thing is getting red ns"a
~Th&

all"
gobler’s snout in polkberry-time, and
is about ready to enter the arena and
have it out with the mad bull.
But, as 1 said, we are getthij*along
all right. We have (5.000,000 auto
mobiles and <5;000,000 more people
wanting thut many more. We have
100,000.000 dissatisfied people. We
are on the verge of a young war with
Mexico before we are out of the world
war. We have a busted League of
Nations, f a cracked constitution, a
land full of grafters and profiteers;
a set of hot air pumps for official ,:
a sick president: a split democratic
party; high prices; bad roads, and
darn little religion. And then we
wonder why things look red. .Scat!
Sal. get up and let the dog in and bt’s
have breakfast.
I would give a petticoat pattern,
three hound pups and a bass sonc
book iuct to know how it would all
end. But I fear it’s not to be.
