Prayer of the Unemployed--It's All Republicans' Fault, Feb. 10, 1922

The Prayer of the Unemployed

Harding is my shepherd, and I am in want; he maketh me to lie down on park benches; he leadeth me beside free soup houses; he restoreth my doubt in the Republican party, he leadeth me in the paths of destruction for his party’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of starvation, I do fear evil, for thou art against me, they politicians and profiteers they frighten me. Thou preparest a reduction in salaries before me in the presence of mine enemies.
