The neigh of a horse made Darius
King of Persia, the six contending
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom This ancient method Of
settling disputes among politicians
could be revived with profit today.
If our partisan factions and petty pol
iticians could only settle their dis
putes by the neigh of a horse. the
bark of dog or the bray of donkey,
it would be great blessing and would
give our citizens better opportunity
to pursue the vocations of industry
free from political strife.
Let those who pick political plums
by raising rows and who fash swords
dripping in the blood of industry un-
derstand that they cannot turn the
public forum into political arena and
by clash of personal aspirations
still the hammer and stop the plow
and that their quarrels must be settled
In the back allevs of civilization.
