BENITO THINKS OUT ANOTHER LAW.

BY SIN BAD. Oh! Mussolini once again is out to make his presence felt. Italian journalistic men beneath his firm decree must melt. “I cannot see.'* Benito cries, “that papers are required at all. For heady bits of judgment wise, the folk on me alone should call. The journalists are all I find, on running down Fascism bent, and often they perplex mv mind with questions inconvenient. A few at times I have suppressed, lest folk should think my reign is o’er, but this does not reform the rest, for they get nasty all the more. It is to me a cause for grief that I these journals cannot fix, and so I’ll make them all be brief and cut them down to pages six. No man shall scribble for a mile to liberate his feelings pent. I think a terse and telling style deserving of encouragement." Benito thus all wordy men is anxious now to set aback, which seems to prove that now and then the pot may call the kettle black.
