Show HAIL MRS GANN we confess to a twinge of approval of the following outburst written by gail martin and pub elised in his paper the western mineral survey and recommend it not only as good reading but as containing a few ironic statements that are rather appropriate right at this particular time humanity breathed easier on thursday morning when the news flashed over this terrestrial globe that mrs edward gann had at last won official recognition as hostess for her brother vice president curtis and that mrs gann should have the honor of being second american woman to be presented to the queen of slam following the wife of the president how the angel choirs must have celebrated this victory in heaven S millions of unemployed bablo apt and financially harassed in the united states must have immediately felt their troubles allayed the other millions in the drought area must have seen their crops sprout forth with new vigor As by a miracle empty bellies must have been allied the sick made well again and the maimed and halt must have leaped like an hart everyone has admired mrs ganna fight for social justice grave issues have depended on its settlement now we know that mrs gann will precede not follow mrs nicholas longworth at court functions in washington now mrs gann will sit at the right hand of the president and not at his left hand in the past the united states has been sadly handicapped in the discharge of the amenities of state the social heritage of our officials has not been scrutinized carefully enough frequently humble ill bred persons like abraham lincoln have been elected to office suppose instead of mrs gann as official hostess for the vice president we had some simpleminded simple minded i individual who did not know how to wear he mascaro or went to a supper bare backed instead of wearing the formally correct long sleeves in no time this great democracy of ours would lose ita standing and all the world would be affected by our evil example in social delinquency the hoover administration deserves unstinted commendation for the fearless manner in which it has gone straight to the heart of this problem and settled it for the benefit of posterity and without the appointment of a high salaried commission now that the official position of mrs edward everett gann has been determined the administration will probably find time to act on unemployment silver and other minor problems that are cluttering up official channels in case mrs edward everett gann does not prove satisfactory as vice president curtiss official hostess in the grabbing of free handouts hand outs and the hob bobbing with the idle rich we suggest that she be discharged and another employed A study of mrs ganns frequently seen photograph in the papers convinces us that any kitchen mechanic would do as well the town board is to be commended for its decision to place stop signs at the street intersections tho installation of these signals and vigorous enforcement of regulations requiring motorists to stop when approaching a main thoroughfare from a side street will prevent many accidents and probably save lives |
