Printed 108 years ago today in The Tacoma Times. I removed some blotches and modified the brightness/contrast, see the original.

Found on the Library of Congress site.

The part I find remarkable is how far we've slid backwards in the last century. I don't see a modern version of this narrative being run in contemporary US papers.

A 2020s Everett True would be mostly him throwing a succession of mobile phones and computers through walls, in a perfectly understandable response to website/app dark patterns and the like.

You're hired! E-Tru's public domain, so you could probably just AI-generate it...

No need, we've slipped so far back he has become relevant again
