 That little child is now about three years old. Her mother doesn’t let her associate indiscriminately with other children. She tells her, “They are apemen and they may contaminate you by their awful conduct.”
 So when that intelligent kid goes outdoors for exercise, larger boys and girls try to talk to her about Sarta Claus and ghosts but she just looks at them pitifully and says, “Don’t be silly. There is no Santa Claus nor ghosts; you should study Lawsonomy and you would know better.”
 They squint and say, “Lawson—? What did you say?”
 “Lawsonomy,” she says.
 “What is that?” they ask.
 “Haven’t you ever studied the definition of Lawsonomy?” she asks, as she looks at them seriously and sorrowfully and that ends their interview with her.
 That little girl now has her own library and she can pick out any book one asks for although she hasn’t learned her letters yet. She grasps a whole word or sentence at once after she has heard it spoken a few times.
 All of you parents can raise Lawsonomy babies if you will prepare yourselves properly for it. As you live so you breed.
 Who owns the radio? The financiers. Do you listen to the radio? Sure.
 What do they tell you over the radio? Every fool thing the financier wants you to know, but nothing that Lawson tells you.
 Poor devils, I feel sorry for you. I feel just as sorry for you radio drunks as the little girl feels for the children who have been taught to believe in Santa Claus and ghosts.
 What do they tell your newspaper men? “Keep Lawson out of the papers. If you write anything good about him we’ll fire you.” The editors are afraid to publish what Lawson says word for word. Once in a while some little, green reporter writes up something and sticks it in while the financial editor is out on a fishing excursion and it gets through.
 A reporter took a picture recently of one of our beautiful girl drum majors who was in a parade and then asked, “What is your name?”
 She said, “I have no name.”
 “Well, I want to publish your picture on the front page of our newspaper.”
 She said, “Just say I’m a Direct Credits Officer.”
 The reporter then said, “I can’t mention Direct Credits in our paper.”
 Now, who controls the magazines and newspapers all over the United States? Fi­nan­ciers. There are still a few newspapers that are owned by local people but they can be confiscated whenever the financier decides to grab them.
 The financiers hold the mortgages and so they can take them any time they like.
 So, there are no publications that are for the people. They are all for the financiers who miseducate you. That is all but one. Just one that is for the people—the BEN­E­FAC­TOR.
 The financiers are rich enough to buy any publication except that which Alfred Law­son publishes. They haven’t enough money nor wealth to buy the writings that he gives
