Too many people in this world try to play the role of petty tyrants. They are usually weak-minded persons whom a Mttle feeling of consequence or a littie authority make much. They may. be women bringing up a husband or a family of children, a man who is conscious he is head of the house, a politician who has come to regard him- as a ward boss, or a clergyman Wh3 has an exaggerated idea of his di- vine rights.

It was Franklin who taught ‘g::glllun to tyrants is the will This is the statement of a great German financier: “Germany cannot be defeated financially so long as her working “energy is not affected, and Germany's working energy cannot be affected.”. Let's see about this: Germany has had ingmen killea who cents per one miliion work- could produce 50 per man, her- workin energy has been reduced $500,000 a day, or $180,000,000 a year, and an- other year's war would maie the Te- duction $360,000,000, or nearly a mil- lion dollars & day. The major portion of her industry is to produce material and munitions for. the four million men she has in the fleld, and what is produced for them is made to farther the increase of the destruction of life and property.
