THE ANTI-ANTIS

From the seething midst of the thousand Societies, Associations and Leagues for the Prevention and Promulgation of Almost Everything, comes a ray of hope. "The Anti-Fanatic League" is the cheering legend signed to an anti-Methodist communication in the metropolitan papers.

Seeing so much organized interference with religion and morals, a liberal minded Loyola, inspired by the proverb, "Set a thief to catch a thief", has gathered together a few chosen souls and gone hunting for fanatics with their own weapons. At all events, it ought to be good sport. The woods are full of game.

Mencken and Nathan would probably be delighted to take part in the chase as beaters. These eminent sportsmen are thoroughly acquainted with the bush country and in addition they have gained quite a reputation as snipers. It is said that in their trophy room these worthies have several rare bigots and hypocrites with unusually large horns.

All hail the Anti-Fanatic League! May it prosper and grow fat throughout the land where intolerance is still measured in terms of "difference from me."
