Greatest Show on Earth! Fable of the Performing Elephant Many, many years ago, just after the Civil War to be exact, a few of the far-seeing bosses caught a‘ little baby elephant, taught him carefully to per- form for them and brought him up to respond to every command of his masters. Since then the elephant has grown big, fat and strong. The bosses who first owned him have given way to bigger bosses; the tricks he is required to perform have become a bit more difficult, but never from the first moment have his masters had rea- son to complain of his lack of obedience. * More workers have paid admission to the national three-ring circus at which the elephant performs every. four years than to any other show. These work- ers laugh heartily at the antics of the trained pachy- derm. They shout joyously when he rises up on his huge, hind legs. They go into actual hysterics when he stands on his head!- For the moment they forget their troubles: ‘Ho, Look at the way he responds when we shout at him!” ; BUT FEW OF THEM EVER INQUIRE: WHO DI- RECTS THE TRAINED ELEPHANT? * * Do you know a worker who is planning to. purchase an admission ticket to the three-ring circus put on by the bosses? Ask him:* perform? Pass him your copy of The DAILY WORKER.
