Rogers-isms, the Cowboy Philosopher on the Peace Conference
Rogers, Will
Paris Peace Conference (1919-1920) -- Humor; World War, 1914-1918 -- Humor
Now Mr Barney Baruch is going in case we land a few Shekels,
why Barney will count up for us,
_Also Mr Garfield "said he wasent going to stay in this
Country and FREEZE another winter,"_
If they keep on sending for them, Talk about getting the
boys back, it will take a couple of years to get all these
Peace Guys back,
We may not have had as many Nations in the war as these
other Nations but we are going to Swamp them at the Peace
Table,
Col House was there to meet the Boat in a _listening
Capacity_,
Lot of men have _fought_ their way into fame and _talked_
their way into fame but Col House is the only man that ever
just LISTENED HIMSELF IN,
After looking over Paris the troop went to London, Can you
imagine how sore these Republicans got when they read about
a Democrat sleeping in Buckingham Palace,
Kaiser and Czar used to kid King George and tell him he
dident have any power He can get back at them now and say
"No I havent got much power but I am still _Kinging_ aint
I,"
Pres left London passed through Paris got an earfull from
Col House and played a week of one Night stands through
Italy,
He had a letter of recomendation from Caruso so he met some
of the best people in Italy,
Every time the Pres wanted applause in his speeches in Italy
he would mention GARIBALDI which sounds same in English as
Italian,
Belgium wanted to book him there but the Pres got wise that
they were holding so many Banquets they were trying to wear
him out before the Peace Feast started,
King of Italy also the King of England have agreed with him
up to now But unfortunately they neither one will be at the
Peace signing,
England is orally in accord but there has been nothing
signed,
They are a little late starting as they were waiting to find
someone who knew what freedom of the Seas mean,
NOW IF HE CAN ONLY HANDLE THAT MEETING AS HE DOES CONGRESS
WE NEED HAVE NO FEAR OF THE RESULT,
You know a lot of people think he is liable to be too easy
with them dont you believe it he can be pretty stern when he
wants to remember last fall when he sent Germany their
Questionaire, Said GIVE ME YOUR REAL NAME AND PERMANENT
ADDRESS,
Lets hope the Turkish Deligation dont bring all their WIVES
or we never will get _PEACE_,
And lets make those Russians shave before they sign up we
want to know who we are dealing with,
If Ireland sends a deligation I can hear France say bring us
back war,
Now the Pres says we are going to recognize the CZECHO
SLOVAKS we may recognize them but we will never pronounce
them,
That Nation has caused Readers more trouble than any other
one in war,
They cant make the Peace terms much worse than those
Armistace terms for they read like a 2nd mortgage, Party of
the second part has no more chance than a Democrat in the
next Congress,
We are handicapped at this meeting, England and France both
have their Prime Ministers there while _BILLY SUNDAY_ dident
go for us,
