When Jones struck oil, quite sudden he Grew egotistic, vain, and haughty; Talked of his wealth where'er he,d be, Which you'll admit was very naughty.

"A ticket-quick!" he shouted loud

Before the depot's gaping crowd.

That man is never lonesome who sees about him the beckoning pages of treasured books.

A wise man never ceases his education. To the day of his death he is a pupil, a learnep, a seeker after knowledge.

Some men are just honest enough to keep out of the penitentiary, and just smart enough to make all contributions publicly.

Some wise man once wrote that ..justice is the supreme consideration of mankind." But that, of courser was in the days BH-meaning-before Hitler.

Wonder what th9 "fr{a" of Mirabeau would say if he \ could look down up\tfis beloved France today? It was that great Frenchman\who, when his aide said to him about some proposition-"fmpossible"-replied in rage: "Nevetr mention that blockhead word to me again."

Now we know beyond dou,bt, that the saturation of Communism was what destroyed the French defense in June. Now the reports come through continually from both British and Belgian contingents, that they found no great trouble in holding their own against the German assaults, but always, on both sides of them, the French fell back, so they too had to retreat.

The day is not far off in this country when we will gather up all the Communists, the Nazis, and every other active or potential Fifth Column, and ship them all out of this country, as I once heard an eloquent American say -'rQ1 a ship of stone, with sails of lead, over a sea of fire, with Hell for a destination."

It is well to remember that the pages of history tell us that the causes that live are not necessarily those that are the most just, but rather those that are best defended and most ably maintained.

The Constitution is our national tree of life, the source and stream of liberty and law. And the man f look upon with deepest suspicion in these times through which we are passing so perilously, is he who says he thinks the Constitution should be "elastic.', I deem the man who utters that thought no true friend to this nation, or to its Constitution.

We should put only men in public office today who will revere that Constitution next only to their God, and who will insist that it be interpreted as the Fathers of this Republic wrote it, and not to be touched or tampered with by every temporary political majority.

Ponder over the remarks that follow. They were made by a great and true American, William Howard Taft, who was President when he made them, and who afterwards became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. He uttered these words on March 8th, 1912: "It is a complete misunderstanding of our form of government, or of any govern- ment that exalts justice and righteousness, to assume that judges are bound to follow the will of an electorate in respect of the issue of their decision. In many cases before the judges that temporary majority is a real party to the controversy to be decided. It may be seeking to deprive an individual or a minority of the rights secured by the fundamental law. In such a case, if the judges were representatives or agents of the majority to carry out its will, "they would lose their judicial character entirely, and the so-called administration of justice would be a farce." *{<*

V[/e hear much these days about what the media of exchange in this commercial world will be if England falls to the Nazi; and many surmises as to what will then be the value of our gold hoard. I dunno. Money always pazzles me, anyway. I think it does most other folks, especially rnany who claim to understand it in a large way. Maybe that's because I've handled so little of it. Gold and silver became the world's accepted media of exchange early in the history of civilization for several primary and funda-

mental reasons. One was their indestructibility. Another was that they represented large value in small bulk.

As commerce grew we avoided the early trouble and inconvenience of weighing and testing silver and gold with each business transaction by stamping the weight and fineness on pieces of these metals, and they became money. As commerce continued to grow and the necessity for practical exchange media grew more insistent, paper representatives were substituted for the heavy and cumbersome coins of gold and silver. And, for those same reasons, next there came bank checks and drafts, being promises to pay their fair value in coin of the realm.
