Dr. Edwin "Cyclone" Southers

              Dr. Edwin "Cyclone" Southers
THE   "FLORIDA   CRACKER"              
DR. EDWIN SOUTHERS, more familiarly known as "Cyclone" Southers, has been before the public continuously for over thirty years, appearing in every civilized country and some countries that were not civilized. His lectures have been internationally celebrated for their realism, striking truths, and grim humor. They have been extensively copied by others who fain would "follow in his wake." He is favored with a personal mag¬netism and delightful charm possessed by few other lecturers on the platform.
Edwin "Cyclone" Southers stands alone, pre-eminently, in his marvelous breadth of survey, matchless and incomparable oratory, grim, cynical and Mephistophelean humor, and soul-stirring powers of description.
Owing to the fact that the Doctor can devote but a few weeks out of each year, to the lecture platform, it would be wise for committees desiring him, to com¬municate early, in order to secure engagement.
Dr. Southers will appear in full costume of His Satanic Majesty (if so desired by the local committee) when delivering either lecture: "If I Were the Devil," or "The 'Boss' Devil."
The two above mentioned are separate and distinct features.
The   Bureau
JUST   A   FEW   WORDS,   PLEASE
Believing that all mortals with sane minds are entitled to their own religious beliefs, free and unhampered, therefore I let religious sects severely alone.
I am not a pessimist.
I am not infallible.
I believe in trying to better the condition of my brother mortal, and incidentally myself.
I believe in the absolute sacredness of the home circle, that it should be held inviolate, for upon it depends our nation's hope.
I would not wilfully or maliciously cause my fellow being one sigh of grief, one touch of misery, or one throb of pain, but I would wish to destroy those devils, hypocrisy, selfishness, greed, vice, slander, pride, falsehood, etc., etc., which cause humanity to become inhuman.    Therefore,
"I Strike to Kill."                 "Cyclone" Southers
