Malfew Seklew

[5] He claimed that this combined socialist economics with anarchist politics, ideas from the Social Democratic Federation, science in general, and the work of Nietzsche.

There, he worked with J. W. Gott on The Truthseeker,[1] and later propounded his ideas in The Eagle and The Serpent, a journal of which he was associate editor,[5] all while running the Chicago Lunch Bar.

As many of the speakers there described themselves as "professors", he decided to invent a higher title, calling himself Sirfessor Wilkes Barre.

[8] He sold copies of a pamphlet, largely consisting of sayings of Mediaeval philosophers, entitled "The Gospel According to Malfew Seklew",[9] and supplemented his income by selling other goods, such as cigarette holders.

Although he dropped out on the second day, he attracted attention by describing himself as the "coiner of more new words than any man in the world", and as "transcending the wit of Shakespeare".
