We would be all right today, if it wasn't for Adam and Evil.
Then they say that Adam fell for an apple.
It just shows how men have improved.
No man would fall for an apple today.
It would have to be a peach.
And I tell you, it's no wonder that women feel stuck up. They say they can do more than men can do.
That's very true, when you go back to the first woman, Eve.
She was only one little woman, all by herself, and she put the whole human race on the b.u.m.
Could a man do that?
And yet she was only a rib out of Adam's side.
It just goes to show you what a cheap proposition woman was.
Nowadays, when you want to marry a woman, you got to buy a diamond ring, take her to the theatres, buy her taxicheaters, and what's left of your wages you got to spend on candy and tango trots and turkey teas. There's where Adam had it on all of us.
All Eve cost him was one bone.
It all goes to show you how much better off man was in those days than today, and while John D. Rottenfeller, the great Philosopede, he comes out and says, n.o.body has a right to be poor; he says, anybody can live on eighteen dollars a week.
He don't have to tell us that.
Let him tell us how to get the eighteen.
And still that great statesment, William Chinning Bryan, he comes out and says, we are living in a great country. He says we are living in a country of excitement intelligence and education.
That's very true.
Look at our public school system.
A child can go to school for nothing, and when he grows up to be a man and he is thoroughly educated, he can go into the public school and be a teacher and get fifty dollars a month.
And the janitor gets ninety-five.
That shows you how education is coming to the front. Wouldn't it better, instead of sending a child to school, to learn him to clean out a cellar?
And what's the cause of all the trouble?
The House of Representatives.
We send them to Was.h.i.+ngton to look out for the people and the only time they look out for the people is when they look out the window and see them coming.
Then they get $7,500 a year. They spend $10,000 a year, and at the end of the year they have $100,000 saved.
No wonder they are careless with our money.
That's all they got to do. Sit around Was.h.i.+ngton and touch the treasury.
Every couple of days a fellow comes into Congress and says:
"Good morning, Congress, let me have $4,000,000."
That's all they do, is make touches for millions.
You never heard of those suckers making a touch for a quarter, or a half a dollar.
To show you what they do with our money, look at our Weather Bureau Department.
We pay a fellow $10,000 a year. For what?
To tell us when it's going to rain.
And he don't know himself.
But he don't want to know.
He knows that if he ever guesses it right, he is going to lose his job. But believe me, it's a soft job.
Nothing to do.
He gets up in the morning, eats a nice breakfast, smokes a good fat cigar; then he looks out of the window and says, "Fine weather to-day."
Then he takes his umbrella and goes out for a walk. I tell you, my dear friends, the way the country stands now, the country stands on the brink of a preci--the country stands on the brink of a precip--and if somebody shoves it, it is going over.
And the cause of all the trouble in the country is the crooked politics.
And that's why the women suffering gents have gotten together and are fighting for their rights.
And you can't blame them.
Now I see where one married woman has. .h.i.t on a great idea.
She says there's only one protection for the wives.
And that's a wives' union.
Imagine a union for wives.
A couple gets married.
And as soon as they get settled, along comes the walking delegate and orders a strike.
