The Astigmafism of Power
lFrom the WaI sLreet JournaN !.

In our own day and generation VIC
have known instances of men in pub
lie life or in great financial busi-
ness, who convinced themselves that
they might do, for what they regarded
as high reasons of state. or the re-
quirements of high finance. what they
would condemn in other people. From
this followed the inconyenient and re-
pudiatcd interview. the short cut TO
great enterprise blocked by an un-
progressive Central American republic
The corporate financing which justified
the activities OF the Department Of
Justice.
1t is the same with a nation when II
gets q similar conception OF its i'm
DOrtance. If IL is to say that, for
needed territorial expansion. or "a
place in tho sum-" it may set at naught
moral laws far more important 20 hui
manity than those desirable things,
one end IS certain. Our great states
men and iinanciers who take that view
retire permanently from the limelieht.
Nations adopting such methods end by
antagonizing the whole world.
Whatever Germany may hold in her
eADluoiNS ih1Ni ~ Ne"hioh W AiSi" 80
logic, she cannot get away from the
axiom that the whole is greater than
the part " may be that for an eX-
cusc to make peace, the German gov
ernment would wish to plead to the
German people that the whole world
is against her, If this is so, the war
party sacrifices its last shred of de-
ceucy. and will find itself without a
friend when peace negotiations begin

John Has Joined a Lodge
Written-for TIE EVENING JOUR-
NAL by James T. Crozicr.

Sometimes there is funny streak
That creeps into my head
And then l try TO tell the folks
What others did and said;
And now want to tell you ali
What Brother john has done.
And let me say, a smile or laugh
VIII not hurt anyone.
Three weeks ago on Monday last
Our John became a man.
His actions seem 10 say to folks.
See what a sport l am.
He has some hairs upon his lip.
And thinks it just becomes
His looks: and now he's joined a lodge,
They call it Sons Of Guns.
When he came home the other night,
So weak he could not stand,
And then told us what he had done,
We laughed to beat the band
On his right foot he had a boot,
And on his left a shoe;
You may think l am fibbing, but
II certainly is true.
They bandaged up his eyes, he said,
And stood him on the floor:
He smelled the billy goat right strong
When it came through the door.
They put him then on billy's back,
And all began to sing;
He held on tight to Williams horns
While flying round the ring.
These last few days when called to
grub,
There is one vacant seat,
For when John takes provision in
He stands up on his feet
I'd love to tell you why, | would,
The way the story runs:
But Pm a modest man-you guess,
fIc joined the Sons of Guns.
