Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description:	A man refuses to let two young boys bring water to his circus elephant because of the code, the father of the boys gets indignant claiming it is tradition and their birthright. Image Access WideTEK 25 Why this is unbelievable! What; boys cant carry water elephants? Let the ghost of Jumbo take note. In Clarion tone above the circus band we protest. Is an age old American custom and holy privilege to be ruthlessly cast aside and the very foundation of a free nation be under mined. No, well see the president. We youth of yesteryears and today might rise in might and destroy, as we would a pestilence, those who would rob them of their birthright and heritage. Sorry boys - the code. Im goin to tell the circus fans assn. to get busy let elephants be watered. Let the eagle scream.
