Why, Indeed?

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Why can't we have done with all this humbug about political things, among ourselves, at any rate, since it is hardly a question of our being needed to humbug the people?

I despise Harding; I despise Cox and the Democratic party; I loathe the socialist and farmer-labor and prohibitionist platforms; I don't know and don't want to know anything about the "socialist labor" and "single tax" parties. And I strongly suspect that most "respectable" people feel just about as I do. If they disagree it is only in degree of contempt. Why then should those of us who are not professionally obliged to keep up the dismal pretense of enthusiasm about the wretched business--why should we waste time talking or thinking about the election, and why should we bother to vote? E. P. CHASE 2G.

October 7, 1920.
