Hell-Bent for Truth, Satan Will Crusade in Ed Columns

He Will Publish "Horns and Claws" in Tomorrow's Crimson

Mephistopheles crashed into the CRIMSON last night, with horns, claws and the smell of fire and brimstone, and offered his services as an exclusive columnist. Just like that.

"Your editorial page is too narrow," he breathed with smoke through his nostrils. "You only give one side to every question, the right side. What about the wrong side? Don't you know how much more interesting and exciting it is? Don't you realize that practically the whole world believes it, and likes it better than yours?

"Let me have scope on your page. Some-one has to support Roosevelt, Curley, and my especial follower and cohort Al Capone. Let me write a column. Let me give your readers the Devil's case."

Not without threats of thunderbolts, Satan finally persuaded us to print his contributions. His column, entitled "Horns and Claws," begins tomorrow on the editorial page.
