If talk would make the wheels go round
We'd never have Lard times;
In all our purses would be found
A large supply of dimes;
But talk will never till the earth
Or grind sack of meal;
An ounce of elbow grease is worth
A hundred tons of spell.
The most of us are easy marks;
Our hard earned coin is flung
Into the hands OF soulless sharks
Who WELD the silver ton~ue.
We'd hate to lend pair Of bones
To some one living near,
To Neighbor Smith or Neighbcr Jones,
Whose records clean and clear,
But when fakir, cheerful man,
Is windily abroad,

And hand it to him, with a smile),
Then set to work with vin)
To raise mother goodly pile
For t'other Windy Jim.
Upon our industry depends,
We will be honest, earnest, brave,
We will always be our own best friend
If we will work and save.

German Thought
Based on Greek Theory.

Modern German thought then has reverted
70 the old Greek theory. that II Is not the State
which exists for the good OF the Individual but
the individual who exists for the good of the
State There is. In fact. limit the duty
which the citizen owes TO his State. Whatever
the States called upon him 70 do. he Is bound
TO do. and TO do readily and cheerrully. II Is
the paramount authority OF the State over in
dvidual lives which iustihes the whole political
and social order and life OF Germany. and espe-
cially the universal compulsory military service.
which Germany demaE Is OF all citizens. and has
taught other Continental nations 20 demand OF
their citizens as ell. But the worship OF the
State goes yet step further In Germany. For
not only can the State. Is thinkers like Treit-
schke and Delbruck contend. do no wrong IN
any burden which IL lays on individual citizens.
but Il can do no wrong in any measure which
It may think good to take for its own safety or
dignity.
The interest Of the State. whatever It may
be, Is, I'm Treitschke's eyes, not only compatible
with kultur. but n actually essential TO kultur.
II the interest OF the State then ever comes
into conflict with the law Of Jesus Christ. IL
is Jesus Christ who must give way. and not
the State. Upon thi spoint General Friedrich
Bernhard expresses himself plainly.
christian morality" he says, is based on the
law OF love. Love God above all things, and
thy neghbor as myself" This law can claim
no significance for the relations OF one country
TO another. since its application to politics
would lead to a conflict of duties The love
which man showed TO another country as
such would imply a want OF love for his own
countrymen. such system OF politics must
inevitably lead men astrGy. Christian morality
is personal and social. and in its nature cannot
be political.
