The Psychology of DissentInterviews with The Anarchist

Foreword and Afterword byDr. P. Pettifog, M.D.

ForewordThough I was never fortunate enough to meet Dr.Pinchot face-to-face, having spent much timeimmersing myself in his recorded journals andstudying the raw data of his research, I feel I knowthe man more than most.By such measure, I believe myself qualified to saythat, though Pinchot was an imperfect fellowonewho some among us would even stoop to calltraitorhis work would go on to benefit our faircity far more than any subversive thoughts or actionswould ever harm it.Were he still alive today, I am confident that wecould help him. His studies have seen to that.I will not endeavor much further to introduce the manor his work, as these transcripts of his personal logsand interviews with his research subjectthe vileanarchist and Vox Populi leader Daisy Fitzroydoboth better service than my meager talents evercould.But if I may ask one thing as you read these pages, itwould be to not judge Pinchot too harshly. He was abrave and true explorer, not of savage land or

deepest ocean, but of the mind within. He sought tounderstand and treat the rebel inside all of us. And itwould come to be the death of him.Remember that his flaws are our own, but thanks tohim, need be no longer.

Yours in everlasting glory,Dr. P. Pettifog, M.D.

DR. PINCHOTEven old, snake-tongued Lincoln would be hard-pressed to defame the quality and pace of workaccomplished at Comstock House of late.In the time since our citys glorious secession fromThe Sodom Below, we are no longer so constrainedby the smallest minds of Congress. FatherComstocks bold act freed our research; I dare saythat it is not for nothing our Great Prophet isconsidered such a man of vision. Who else but onecapable of launching a city in the sky could helpfurther our goals of exploring mans inner creatureand taming it?We have come far in such short time. But still, it isnot enough.Because it is our duty to raise up the lesser man, theweaker man, the craven. As we have in us all thisrebel, this devil inside, and by helping him free of it,so we may help ourselves.For in many ways, we in Columbia may be far abovethe lowly worker in the field or godless cannibal inthe jungle, but in some, not at all. Even as every man

knows innately how to pray to Godeven one bornwith a bone through his noseit is sad truth that weall know how to sin, as well.In some, this trait is more readily apparent thanothers. And these men must be studied, examined,interviewed whatever the means necessary todiscover if it is by way of traumas in their past, as thepsychopathologist might say, or if they are insteadborn this way, as those in eugenics contend, or if theyare endowed this trait by some unknowable thoughtof the Creator.Then, quickly following this understanding, willcome the development of treatment.Some in my field may be content to dodder along,publishing papers and engaging in idle departmentalgossip with their colleagues, but to accomplish solittle in life is not for me. I have a pressing need tosee mankind free of sin with mine own eyes.So you may imagine how my heart leapt in my chesttoday, upon reading that Daisy Fitzroyinfamousmalcontent and captain of the Vox Populihad beencaptured by authorities in Finkton.A case study on one so low the foul murderer ofour sainted Lady Comstockan anarchist intent onripping Columbia free from the sky may provideexactly the breakthrough we need.I have begun the necessary paperwork to have her

remaindered into my custodyI pray to Father Franklin hourly for our success. Mayhe open our eyes to The Mystery and allow us todiscern the transmundane.

PRIVATE JOURNAL TRANSCRIPTSaturday, May 8th, 1909

DR. PINCHOTI have not made many friends in the policedepartment on this day, but I regret this fact little if atall.Though Fitzroy was due to be delivered to me atComstock House this coming Monday morning, Ivisited the station where she was held early thisafternoon.The scene I beheld there was deplorable. As Ientered the interrogation room, it appeared as if alow banquet or base debauch was wrappingSeveral officers sat at a full table set withsweetbreads, fruit, and wine, eating and drinking in arelaxed, congenial manner. Members of a small bandstaggered the room, playing loudly and in discordantfashion. By their state of inebriation and shabbydress, I fear they may not have wholly comportedthemselves as gentlemen where a female, even one ofAfrican descent such as Fitzroy, is considered.Whats more, the area around the prisoner wasbathed in bright light from above the anarchistgagged and fastened to a chair tilted back above a tub

of murky water tubes dripping fluid hung above,attached to stalactites of sparking crystals; no doubtall techniques spawned from the darkest fathom ofsome Oriental mind.I set in on those present so intensely that the officerresponsible for her case was soon brought before me.This Detective Garrett was fit to be tied by my earlyvisit and demand for her immediate transfer toComstock House, and he addressed meinappropriately on repeated occasion.When asked why she was treated so deplorably,Garrett related the names of several officers whomthe Vox Populi had killed and the brutal manner ofthe death of each. Surely, I contended, this small-framed Negro was not responsible for all of this. Helaughed in my face and asked why I supposed shedbeen gagged in the first place.In the end, my requests were met due to the weight ofthe name of my employer. They worship the Prophet,even down in Finkton. I was set on my way with theprisoner and considerable armed escort.Though she was present for the entire exchange, myonly interaction with Fitzroy before leaving wasbrief. When they removed her gag, she locked eyeswith me. I expected a curse or spittle, but she thankedme quietly.It was not lost on me that the only politeness I was

shown this day was by the anarchist.

INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTSunday, May 9th, 1909

DR. PINCHOTfear we were not formally introduced earlierMy name is Dr. Pinchot. I am head researcher here atComstock House and have a few questions to put toyou. The more forthcoming that you are, the more itwill benefit society.[Sound of papers fluttering.]Note: Interview with the subject to follow a listing ofher crimes.Murder the direct deed or in support, thereofpublic speech and publication of printed materialspromoting the establishment of unionization, strike,public assembly, dissent, and general undermining ofauthority of government, Prophet and natural law Ibelieve much of that is in reference to your manifesto,The Peoples Voice , which I have a copy of here.Incitement of riot transportation of firearmsbetween city boroughs manufacture of explosivematerialsIt goes on like that for some time, but I believe that tobe sufficient background for our conversation today.These files do not note the total number of incidents

undoubtedly that would be staggeringbut do listdates It began years ago with your foul murder ofour sainted Lady Comstock bless her and keepher of whom you were employed by in herhousehold as a servant. The rest follows hmmseveral weeks later.From maid to malcontent over the course of, itappears, a single month. Or were there hmmearlier incidents of which we simply are not yetawareLet me ask you, Miss Fitzroy, when did you firstidentify yourself as an anarchist?

DAISY FITZROY[Silence.]

DR. PINCHOTNote: Subject refuses to speak.Well, lets see if you address that particular pointwithin The Peoples Voice[Sound of papers fluttering.]Hmm Nothing, Im afraidLet me read a few selections, and you may feel freeto interrupt if anything inspires you to comment."You had their knife in your back since the day youwere born"Seems like a rather dramatized view of service, Ishould think.Anything to add?

DAISY FITZROY[Silence.]

DR. PINCHOTNote: Subject refuses to speak.

Very well.[Sound of pages turning.]"It falls on us, since those before did so littleThey bowed their heads and took the lash. Well,we'll take it no longer"Is that what Lady Comstock did? Did the saintedLady whip you?

DAISY FITZROY[Silence.]

DR. PINCHOTYes, I should think notNote: Subject refuses to speak.[Sound of pages turning.]"They say I foment violence But that's a lie. I onlyask you react to it. Only a fool endures an unjustlash"So, you advocate revenge? What about turning theother cheek? Is there not the example of the Prophetand Lady Comstock; the example of forgiveness?When exactly did you lose your faith in the AngelColumbia, the Founding Fathers, and FatherComstock?

DAISY FITZROY

[Silence.]DR. PINCHOT

Note: Subject refuses to speak.[Sound of pages turning.]"You think the rich man, the white man fought alonein Peking? No You were there too, knee-deep inthe blood of men who ought've been ourbrothers"Did you perhaps lose a relative or beau whenColumbia interceded in the Boxer Rebellion? Is thatthe cause for your open dissent in this passage?I must say, the empathy you exhibit for the enemy herehas invited much scandal.

DAISY FITZROY[Silence.]

DR. PINCHOTNote: Subject refuses to speak.

[Sound of pages turning.]"Our sole objective is for The People to be heardIt's not our fault theyve been angry so long"Well, here you are now, Miss Fitzroy. We are allears.What, pray tell, do The People have to say? Whathas angered you all so?

DAISY FITZROY[Silence.]

DR. PINCHOT

I merely seek to understand.DAISY FITZROY

Oh, really?DR. PINCHOT

Aha! She speaks!Yes, Miss Fitzroy. That is my sole intention here, Iassure you.

DAISY FITZROYI understand you mean to gather information

DR. PINCHOTWhy, Miss Fitzroy, I must say that I find you quiteastute and surprisingly articulate.

DAISY FITZROYAn I find you smug and self-satisfied. Confident inyour station.But I come to expect that from your kind.

DR. PINCHOTMy kind, Miss Fitzroy?You will find me quite different from those at thepolice station.

DAISY FITZROYCottonmouth and a copperhead might be different, butwhen it comes down to it, one snakes the same asany other.Cop? Doctor? Youre one of The Founders to meand mine, youre all the same.

DR. PINCHOT

You must be joking! The same as those brutes whomistreated you?

DAISY FITZROYAt least they didnt dress themselves in a garb ofkindness.

DR. PINCHOTMaam, you insult me terribly and I do not understandthe cause.How can I convince you that youve sorely misjudgedme?

DAISY FITZROYMaybe tell me some about yourself. Tell me aboutthis study of yours.Show me how you got as much to lose here as I doCause I figure that's what this heres all about.

DR. PINCHOTAnd you will, in turn, answer my questions?

DAISY FITZROYI suppose so.

DR. PINCHOTI can tell you straight off, that you've gotten the wrongimpr

DAISY FITZROYBut at present, I am bone tired and would prefer ameal and some rest.

DR. PINCHOTHmm Until next time, then.

INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTMonday, May 10th, 1909

DR. PINCHOT

this device appears to be recording nowAre you comfortable, Miss Fitzroy?

DAISY FITZROY

I suppose. Never seen this part of the building before.DR. PINCHOT

Id imagine it doesnt compare to Lady Comstockshousing. It is said to be quite lavish.

DAISY FITZROY

I lived in worse places.DR. PINCHOT

Well then, let us begin. In the effort of building trust,you may ask the first question.

DAISY FITZROY

[Momentary silence.]Howd you first come to Columbia? Not easy gettingwork or a place to live here.

DR. PINCHOT

My wife and I were among her initial pilgrims.DAISY FITZROY

That it? That all you got?DR. PINCHOT

I don't know what you mean.DAISY FITZROY

You're settin the standard for forthcomingness here,Doctor.

DR. PINCHOT

Ah, I seeWell My wife's father is well-liked by thoseamong the city planners. A former military man whostudied Washington's career extensively. An officerand a gentleman.However, I believe that I found my way here on myown steam, as it were. I made a case directly toColumbias review committee that my work is vitalto our society's salvation.There were doubters, of course, but I hear tell thatFather Comstock himself took note of it.

We were granted a modest home, a fair stipend andposition at Comstock House, and a smallhousekeeping staff.

DAISY FITZROY

So, youre a rich man.DR. PINCHOT

No, I wouldn't say that.DAISY FITZROY

So only rich in modesty? Heh.DR. PINCHOT

We live comfortably, as long as we are frugal.DAISY FITZROY

Lemme see your hands.DR. PINCHOT

I don't know whyExcuse me!

DAISY FITZROY

Yeah See that? Soft as a woman.DR. PINCHOT

Thats exactly the bias Id expect from someone ofyour station.While I wasn't birthed in a field, I assure you that I'veworked hard my entire life.

DAISY FITZROY

Well, bully for you, my brother.DR. PINCHOT

Well then, I'd ask the same of you:By which way did you come to Columbia?

DAISY FITZROY

Fink's men brought us here. We didn't get no paradeor committee like you all, 'stead they brought us induring the dead of night. Negroes, Mexicans,Chinamen, Irish, JewsSome of us had sentences that got waived. Some gotfamilies to feed. A few got drunk down below andwoke up here, I hear tell.

DR. PINCHOT

You're claiming that Fink Manufacturing knowinglyemployed criminals?

DAISY FITZROY

Somebody gotta clean up the trash, I guess. Mr. Finkweren't always too picky.

DR. PINCHOT

I find that impossible to believe.DAISY FITZROY

Oh, those kinda men always got their uses Captainsof Industry like to cut corners sometime, just likeanyone.That's the way the world works, doctor. One with mycomplexion, the law always finds something to takeoffense to. And next stop, leased out on a chain gang,

or up in this place.DR. PINCHOT

You were soon employed in Lady Comstock'shousekeeping staff.

DAISY FITZROY

Yeah, she weren't a bad sort, for somebody put onsuch a pedestal. She had some rough times growin'up. When she spoke to people, you knew she meant it.She was genuine not like her that snake whoshared her bed.

DR. PINCHOT

You looked up to her?DAISY FITZROY

Everybody did. She didn't have to try hard to inspirepeople. Just who she were.

DR. PINCHOT

And yet, you later murdered her.DAISY FITZROY

[Momentary silence.]Tell you what, Doc. You tell me all about all thepeople you killed, an' I'll do the same.

DR. PINCHOT

I wouldn't have anything to tell you there, I'm afraid.

DAISY FITZROY

Then you got nothing to tradeThink we're done for today.

PRIVATE JOURNAL TRANSCRIPTMonday, May 10th, 1909

DR. PINCHOT

My supervisor Dr. Kittery has made it quite clear thathe is unimpressed with my progress on this project.And I must admit to maintaining a similar opinion.Two days and I still have all but nothing.The anarchist has proved nimble at discerningthe intent behind my questions and deftly avoidinganswers that would provide me useful data.While I hardly expected her to be some droolingmongoloid, I find her surprisingly clever.Kittery all but demanded I drop my currentmethodology in favor of what he regards as moretried and true methods of gathering data, such asphrenology and the like. I agree a change in tacticsmay be required, but refuse to abandon reasonentirely. I will play along with his requests, but not atthe jeopardy of the work.We must simply adapt.What I found most interesting in my conversationwith the good doctor was what he did not say, suchas any indication that we have been pressured by

authorities to glean information about anarchist hide-outs, secret codes, or similar titillations from a pennydreadful.It appears that we may have a free hand in thatregard, at least.At our discussions end, perhaps a parting shot, heimplied that Fitzroy may benefit from a newprocedure that others in Comstock House aredevelopingwhich involves separating theprefrontal cortex from the rest of the brain.The exact means are still under debate, but they areconvinced that it will make patients much moretractable. I believe it would render Fitzroy acomplete imbecile and unusable for study, and saidas much.Kittery did not press it further, but I fear that if I donot show results soon, the topic will undoubtedlycome up again.He fails to understand that even if Fitzroy is simplypossessed of a low animal cunning, it remainsremarkable in one of both her breeding andbackgroundthus to investigate it further is of vitalimportance to the future of Columbia.For if every field hand and factory worker were towake one day to similar perspicacity and designs,what a different and terrible world we would soonhave before us.

INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTTuesday, May 11th, 1909

DR. PINCHOTa different type of interview today. One called"association of language.I will say a word, and you speak the first thing thatcomes to mind, no matter how bizarre or seeminglytrivial it may appear.

DAISY FITZROYAnd why would I care at all about that, doctor?

DR. PINCHOTPerhaps you could simply humor meas the manwho helped free you from that terrible interrogationroom in Finkton.

DAISY FITZROYSeems to me, I just traded one massa for another.

DR. PINCHOTIm sorry you feel that way.Perhaps you might play along out of self-interest then.

DAISY FITZROYHows this little game of yours help me out?

DR. PINCHOTBecause when I am finally done with my research,

when our last interview together is complete, mycolleagues intend to perform experimental brainsurgery on you.

DAISY FITZROY[Silence.]

DR. PINCHOTI did not want to tell you that, but my supervisor hasimplied if I don't show tangible results with you inthe near term, they will do this sooner rather thanlater.As I am not a neurologist, I cannot be completelycertain what effect these operations may have on youbut they would assuredly ruin any plans orambitions you currently have in the making.Thus, in the interest of your own self-interest, Iwould strongly suggest you cooperate with me.

DAISY FITZROYMmm-hmmm.

DR. PINCHOTRight, then. The first word is "Question."Now, you say the first word that comes to mind

DAISY FITZROYI caught that, doctor."Silence."

DR. PINCHOT"Faith."

DAISY FITZROY"Flatulence."

DR. PINCHOTAlright, that will be enough of that.

DAISY FITZROYWhat, doctor? Something bothering you?

DR. PINCHOTYour thoughts border on blasphemy, Miss Fitzroyso frequently that I find close study to be disturbing.

DAISY FITZROYIs that your religion getting in the way of yourscience, doctor?

DR. PINCHOTNo You'll find it quite the opposite.Father Franklin gave us The Key. It is science that

gives light to darkness. It is science that brings uscloser to heaven. It is, as we say, the gradualunderstanding of God's plan revealed.But to hear you spout obscenity is hardly part of thatplan.

DAISY FITZROYMaybe it is, maybe it isn't. Only one thing's forcertain.

DR. PINCHOTYes?

DAISY FITZROYYou got a low tolerance for heresy, doctor.You should watch that. Someone could use it againstyou.

DR. PINCHOTI see what you're doing, you know.

DAISY FITZROYI guess you don't need to be prescient to read thewriting on the wall...

DR. PINCHOT[Momentary silence, followed by the shuffling ofpapers.]Well, I believe we're done with today's interview.It's time I noted the size and shape of your skull formy superiors. [Sliding of a chair.]

DAISY FITZROY

Could always read through the guts of a goat too,doctorFor all the results it'd provide.

DR. PINCHOT[Audible slap.]

DAISY FITZROY[A pause, then the subject laughs.]And there it is. Glad to finally meet you, Doctor.

DR. PINCHOTI bid you good day, Miss Fitzroy. Until tomorrow.

INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTWednesday, May 12th, 1909[Note: Begins shortly after test had been handed infor scoring.]

DR. PINCHOTThat cannot be right

DAISY FITZROYYou look pale, doctor. You miss a meal?

DR. PINCHOTIts just the results of your test here are concerning.

DAISY FITZROYHows that, exactly?

DR. PINCHOTHmm Pardon me if I appear distracted while Irecalculate hereThis was an intelligence test my own update onBinet and Simons work changed to make it moreappropriate for Columbian citizens. It assessesmemory, attention, verbal skill, and the like, whileregarding such factors as age.The scale is such that a score below 20 indicates aseverely impaired individual. In other words, animbecile Above to 50 is moderately impairedAbove that, to 69, is mildly impaired, but still

imbecilic nonetheless.From 70 to 80, we find the average range for non-whites, such as the Irish, Esquimaux, Nubian (such asyourself), Malay, Moors, Turks, Persians, mostMongoloids, and some, you may be surprised tobelieve, White criminals.From 80 to 90, we have the average White female, aswell as Hebrews and certain subcategories ofMongol.Scores from 90 to 110 represent the average rangefor White males and 110 to 130 shows above-average intelligence.

DAISY FITZROYFor white males?

DR. PINCHOTHmm? Oh, yes Of course. None other.From there, 130 to 145 notes a gifted intelligence,146 to 160 is genius, and finally, over 160 isextraordinary genius.

DAISY FITZROYYou got a particular way of beating around the bush,doctor.

DR. PINCHOTWell, hmm We in Columbia pride ourselves ascherishing merit.Since our science proves that the White male is themost intelligent, he is thus clearly most capable of

offering the greatest aid to society and must be theone to lead the rest forward The whole system ispredicated on that belief.I myself scored a 146 on the test and have alwaysbeen quite proud of that fact, though some in my fieldcontend that I squeaked by I did, after all, designit.There Ive checked my calculations eleven timesnow and arrived at the same results in each and everyinstance.Very impressive, Miss Fitzroy. Your score was a149.

DAISY FITZROYYou dont say.

DR. PINCHOTThat was most illuminating. Thank you for your timetoday. That will be all.[Chair scrapes the floor.]

DAISY FITZROYDont have many days left, Doctor. That is beforethey come to me with their scalpels and ether.

DR. PINCHOTYes, yes Youve given me much to think about,Miss Fitzroy.[Recording stopped.]

PRIVATE JOURNAL TRANSCRIPTWednesday, May 12th, 1909

DR. PINCHOTI have just returned from Dr. Kitterys office andfound Fitzroy to be correct in her assessment. Heintends to schedule her for surgery at the earliestconvenience, once the necessary paperwork isfinished and a specialist arranged.It may even occur as soon as this weeks end.I informed him that this would be a tragic mistake,but he would not hear of it.He accused me of having formed a connection toFitzroy, implying that physical acts of carnality mayhave softened my judgment. He assured me that this isquite common.Perhaps for him, I said. I told him I simply could notsit idly by and allow some hack to scoop out piecesof her brain, as it would be a waste of a beautifulmind.Kittery soon lost all modicum of patience with me. Iwas chastened for some time and ordered to wrap upmy work this next day.I now sit alone in my office, full of frustration andsadness, and considering what Fitzroy said after Ishut off the Voxophone today.She spoke of a plot to break her out of the facility andthat my involvement may reduce or even eliminate the

threat of bloodshed.Now I am of course in all ways a true patriot ofColumbia, but my blood ran cold as I listened to herwords, and the beginnings of doubt crept into mymind.This struck me much more deeply than any previousconversation with Fitzroy. For while I have noted mytheory that sin exists in alla belief that many inColumbia are clearly not willing to admit aboutthemselvesto actually contemplate treason, myself?It must be undeniable proof that all men, no matterwhat their breeding or background, are rebellious tothe core.To search for this truth for so long in others, only tofind it in myself, is shattering.The scientist in me searches for ways to expungethese thoughts from my mind, but to treat such innatebehavior would require the most radical and extrememethods possible.It would demand the transformation of ComstockCenter from research facility into some kind ofreeducation center.The mind reels at thoughts of treatments bordering ontorture: patients strapped into chairs, presented withelements both audio and visual catered to reinforcingthe proper kind of thinking. Watching until theirminds forget all thoughts but the right ones shocked

in cold baths and by electricity, then givennourishment by a mothering figure given brainsurgeries to ease worry and doubtAnd what would remain? Most likely a grinningimbecile, content to blindly follow the slightestsuggestion.Are these really the choices left to me? To allowbase tragedy to occur, to become a rebel in heaven,or to reduce myself to idiocy to escape such fears?

INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTThursday, May 13th, 1909

DAISY FITZROYTruth will out all lies in the end. Its right there atthe start of The Peoples Voice.But you know that already, dont you, doctor?

DR. PINCHOTYes.

DAISY FITZROYYou read it all last night. Cover-to-cover.Didnt sleep a wink.

DR. PINCHOTYes.

DAISY FITZROYYour eyes are open now.But you got any idea of how much you been lied to?

DR. PINCHOTI do.

DAISY FITZROYNo, you got no idea Theyve been lying to youyour whole life, doctor.Everything you know? Everything you thought youunderstood?

All liesDR. PINCHOT

Everything?DAISY FITZROY

You been their fool, doctor.They taught you their best routines an set youdancin funny little jig you thought was somewaltz.An oh how they been laughin at you

DR. PINCHOTI dont know what to do now.

DAISY FITZROYYou can escape this place too, doctor. Nothingkeepin you here no more.

DR. PINCHOTThey mean to take your mind away. Any day now.

DAISY FITZROYTheres things I know they dont want no one else to.All sorts of things happen to people who get in theirway Just becomes part of their ongoin narrative.Prophecy? Huh Self-fulfilling, maybe.They meant to kill me, I could almost accept it.Sometimes people need a martyr to rise up.But make me some some cabbage, set aside to notbother no one? No.

DR. PINCHOTNo, I cant let it happen.

I wont.DAISY FITZROY

Oh, doctor Youve gone an gotten sweet on me[Laughter.]

DR. PINCHOTMiss Fitzroy Daisy I-I may never be able topossess affections for someone of your race, but

DAISY FITZROYYouve fallen in love with my mind?

DR. PINCHOTYes.

DAISY FITZROYSuppose thats kinda touching in its own way.

DR. PINCHOTIf there was only some way I mi[Bells begin ringing.]Is that a fire alarm?!

DAISY FITZROYThat would be my friends, doctorIf theres any help you can provide, now would bethe time.The more help, the less bloody things might get.

DR. PINCHOT[Jangling of keys.]Here Take these. I cant get us out of this room, butthey unlock other doors that may assist in getting youout.

Here is all the money I have These papers mayhelp as well.

DAISY FITZROYMuch appreciated, doctor. Youre acting like a trueHero of The People

DR. PINCHOTI only wish there was more I[Door kicked open.]

PRESUMED VOX POPULIDOWN! ON THE FLOOR! STOOGE!

DR. PINCHOTA-alright! Theres no need forAghh!

DAISY FITZROYStand down, boys. Dont hurt him.

PRESUMED VOX POPULIDaisy Came soon as we could.

DAISY FITZROYAnd I thank you for it, comrade. The Cause thanksyouNow give me that pistol.[Momentary silence.]

DR. PINCHOTWait!! What?! But I helped y

DAISY FITZROYThats cause to you Im a fascination. To me, youredull as dishwater.

DR. PINCHOT

But that was W-We had moved pastDAISY FITZROY

You progressive, aint you Doctor? You thezookeeper who always brings an extra banana.

DR. PINCHOTYou dont have to do this!

DAISY FITZROYAint a matter of have to. Its a matter of want.[Sound of a gun firing once.]

PRESUMED VOX POPULIWhos that, Daisy?

DAISY FITZROYThat one? Oh, just another snake, I spose. Never cantell em apart.

AfterwordAs jungle drum maddens prey, forcing them to leapheadlong into spiked pit, so Dr. Pinchot was incensedby the words of the subhuman anarchist Daisy Fitzroythough the blame is not hers alone. Betrayed byinternal dissent, he suffered a fate that could haveoccurred to any of us.But take heart, Columbian! You live in paradise,where progress solves all ills!From the procedures Pinchot imagined sprung theblueprint for the good work we now perform atComstock House.As deep as the moment of darkness and doubt mayhave been when he considered Fitzroys poisonousentreaties, his inspiration proved even greater still.Though it took us time to perfect his many radicalideas, I am proud to report these methods have beenemployed for years to great success.We learned much from Dr. Pinchots research, hisideas, and his missteps.Now, when a rebel arrives in our care, we do not lethim bend our ears with lies, but begin an immediatearray of treatments that scour all trace of rebellionfrom his mind.The man who emerges out the other side is serene,empty of doubt, and much the happier for it.

These procedures have taken men so riddled with sinthey were as rabid dogs walking on two legsandmade docile lambs of them all.Though sadly Pinchot did not live to see it, his workhas truly helped free men from sin.So rest, weary dreamer. Sleep well. For we are thebetter for your efforts.
