The man who drives his motor car at

nances rather careful heed.
Unless he il a voter with a franchise
that can count,
Judge Warner will assess him for a
perilous amount:
But he who casts ballot of the true
and proper brand
May meet with nothing harsher than
gentle reprimand.
When Warner saw the county con-
yiCts languiShing i'm jail
And eating out the bottom of the
public dinner pail.
Said he: These fellow citizens re-
quire some exercise;
An open air performance would inn
prove their health and size"
He helped them get a steady job at
building roads and streets,
Which cut the big expenses for their
fat and formal eats.
when hasty-tempered citizens have
IOoSed their fretful fists
And banged each others noses or
have slapped each others wrists,
They bring their disagreement into
Herbert Warmers court,
Where each can tell his story and can
swear TO his report:
And if the meek bclligerent should
prove to be a Hun.
IL frequently develops that he used

For Huns are good Republicans. but
Democratic Poles
Can look for little mercy on their
foreign souls.
He writes their heavy sentence down
i'm cold and cruel ink,
While Justice, far from being blind,
will not as much as blink.
But still, in spite of all of that and
many other things,
The Judge is almost good enough for
emblematic wings.

THE INFLUENCE OF MONEY.
(DavtOn a News

Two items went the rounds re-
Gently concerning the war, or the
end of the war. One was TO the effect
that a group of the worlds greatest
financiers was about TO assemble TO
end the struggle in Europe. The 9TH
er item stated that the war would
not end so long as certain group Of
capitalists were able to make money
out of it, Both items limited at the
possibility of money ending or con-
tinuing the struggle.
But there is nothing new in such
hints. Cicero, in ancient times. de-
clared: There is no sanctuary so
holy that money cannot profane it,
no fortress so strong that money can
not take it by storm" And the power
OF money has not waned in the least
since Cicero spoke.
Money started the war and money
must stop it. There is no other way.
1t may have been a roundabout pro-
cess, but it is literally true that mon

ey started the struggle. At least it
grew out of the struggle for money;
it came about because one set of
men believed they could make more
EIoney by having war, or because an
other set of men were afraid they
would make less money. 1t was a
commercial war in the beginning, be-
gotten by commerce. 1t is profitless
discussing now who started it. But
it is the truth that commercial ri
valry brought ii about.
And it is just as true that it could
be stopped today if the mOneyed in
terests of the world so decreed. 1t

of course; no nation now in the strife
could continue if il could not OBJ

Cicero of old had it right-no fort
