The more fellow gets to know peo-
ple-the more he gets to like them.
And then has less love for fellow Is
dog and more for the fellow himself =
herself, too.
Which goes to show that it is better
to hesitate before forming any hasty
opinion of any mortal, until we give
time an opportunity to pass judgment.
OF course this reads pretty in print,
but no doubt it is mighty hard to carry
out in actions and words.
Because it's human nature to think
the other fellow is most ornery cuss,
while we get the impression that wings
are too good and common for our own
use and wear on earth.
The fellow who has to walk while
others rush by in motor cars has one
consolation to soothe his feelings Of
wanting to do likewise, with the
thought that the high price of gaso-
line does not concern him.
But it concerns the motorist-and
plays heck with his bank roll when he
has to foot the bill for gas.
Some day some mechanical soul will
invent prohibition" motor-a mo-
tor that will run by water.
Then, no doubt, some corporation
will try to get control of the world s
water supply.
Which should be pleasing to many.
For instance, booze fighters in dry
territories and those so-called "colon-
els'' in old Kentucky.
If you will take notice and observe,
the very ones who are croaking about
the fate of Pershing and his soldiers
in Mexico. and predicting a general
massacre when they meet Villa and his
rascals, are the very ones who would
hesitate to tackle any transaction,
whatsoever, if there was any danger,
no matter how slight, for some hard
work or chance of a failure. For
these croakers have no nerve and no
backbone or gumption ,and of course
they are under the impression that 9TH
ers are the same. .a
In the meantime Pershing and his
boys are doing their part well, and
proving that the American soldier is
the best fighter when it comes to a
showdown, that ever went into action.
But no doubt Frederick Palmer, and
other great writers, who have been
making money lately by writing count
less columns about the fate of the
American army should they ever meet
a real army, will not agree with US.

But, you see, we don't agree with
Frederick Palmer and his notions when
he. writes so much hot air of the terri
BILE fate of America should the Sultan
of Zanzibar or Timbuctoo declare war
and send few war canoes over here.
II one were to believe Palmer it
would be simple matter for couple
Of war canoes to capture New York,
make a raid on Boston and end in hav.
ing control Of the Mississippi river in
short time. u-rt
The more we read of Palmer's stuff,
the more we wonder how much the
armor plate manufacturers and the
Wall street jugglers Of stocks and wal
munitions and supplies have given
Frederick Palmer to write such scary
stuff to frighten tinid readers. 7
