James Whitcomb Riley on one occa

RIGHT MOTIVES.

In determining proper motives
of conduct 1t is easy to perceive
that the higher are more COM
mendable than the lower and
that even an act of justice and
benevolence loses something OF
its charm when known to be In
spired by the selfish desire of
human applause. 1t was the gay
poet Of antiquity who said that
concealed virtue differed little
from sepulchered sluggishness.
But this is heather sentiment,
allen to reason and to truth. 1t
is hoped that men will be hon.
est, but from a higher motive
than because honesty is the best
policy. 1t is hoped that they
will be humane. but for nobler
cause than the fame OF human

Why dost thou pine within and

Dost thou upon thy fading

And let that pine to aggravate

"Well, they wouldn't do no such

of a year by way of living expenses and
allowances for pocket money, y'under-

pay our public officers from President

understand, the tax rate in Gimmel-

to 24.89 per cent. SO that's the way
it stands, Birsky. Over here we let
crooked politicians get away with some
of our taxes because we think we're too
busy TO bother about keeping them
grafters honest, understand, but over
in Germany it's considered perfectly on
the level for a prince to get away with
about ten times as much money because

They would then call on all American
Germans to work for the nomination of
an American-German ticket at the next
German presidential election, yunder-

The consequence is, the ticket would be

Furthermore this here Gershon A. Vier-

"Them felers will get themselves
pretty unpopular over there if they act
that way" Birsky commented.
"Not necessary, they won't" Zapp
continued. "There'll always be some
