These provisions are being fought by lawyers and judges, largely on the ground that they indicate disrespect for the court. Judge Culver, eminent jurist of St. Joseph, supports the provisions vigorously. “Judges,” he s “like all Other officers, are entitled to and receive the respect Which their conduct merits.” That is the truth. The day has gone by when courts may hope to hold the respect of their communities simply because they are courts and regardless of their conduct as such. It is too great a strain on the average mentality to insist that it believe only perfection sits on the bench and that judges are purged of all weaknesses of mind and matter by the mere assumption of judicial place. As a matter of judges are human and are entitled to no consideration, praise or reproach, respect or disrespect, eae is not given to other human beings in every walk of ie. If courts, high and low, and everywhere, had so con- ducted themselves as to merit entire respect, there would be no such widespread demand for reformation and re- striction as now exists. They have invited the reckoning that seems to be at hand. President Coolidge told the Ohio society at Washington that the coun try would be safe in the hands of the next generation. After reading the testimony in the naval oil reserve hearing it seems doubtful whethe: the next generation will be kept very busy looking after what the pres ent generation leaves it. Cincinnati is 137 years old, and that accounts for the kind of ball playing it does. The Spot for Drilling E can picture, without becoming over-excited, how, with $100,000,000 worth of U. S, oil swag in sight, the Washington atmosphere could fill up with $100,000 unsecured loans and magnificent liars emerge from every bush, but there’s one Teapot Dome feature that we ut- terly fail to grasp. As between lifelong friends in oil, $100,000, without ‘security, is a mere trifle. The woods are full of oil men Willing to recognize a cabinet officer $100,000 worth in a jon over a Teapot Dome. Washington can rassle "with a commonplace like that all it wants to. But, the Yeal mighty mystery lies in this: Z Why did Sinclair send Fall, freight charges paid, a per- “fectly good pedigreed bull, several prize hogs and a reg- cow?

Nine are honest __ where one is dishonest. __ The truth is, Diogenes was a counterfeiter, a fugitive al justice. He was the son of an ancient money- er or banker of Sinope. Both he and his father were expelled from the home community for “adulterat- the coinage.” Diogenes escaped to Athens, where he lived in a tub the Temple of Cybele. Being a crook at heart, he _ naturally imagined all other people were crooks. He joined the Cynics, a sect of Greek philosophers eae! by Socrates. Cynic means dog-like, snarling. c cynic, he went about with a lantern, sarcastical- ly secking “an honest man.” History is a very incomplete record. To its credit, tho, it does tend—with a multitude of exceptions—to preserve a record of the good things, and make people forget the bad.

It makes a better scrap; we're up against a pair of hicks—they need a handicap!" Rule 3. No matter what they do to cut your scoring short, con- tinue just to smile it thru, and take {t like a sport.
