Senator Sherman adds that humanity
is still governed by the principles laid down
by Solomon in his Proverbs. Has he for.

servant unto his master lest he curse thee
and thou be found guilty.?
President Wilson, as himself has oft.
times observed, is the servant of the Ameri
can people.
Speaking of Proverbs, we have one of
our own TO offer:
There be three things which are too
wonderful for us, yea, four which we know

The way of an airplane in the air. the
way of a trolley car on Pine street, the
way of a special delivery letter which tar.

Proverbs vii 10. seems rather timely,
too:
For the good man is not at home; he
is gone long journey"
The verse following, however, is less
appropriate.
Senator Sherman must have been hard
up for arguments to resort TO the Book
of Proverbs. For, as every publicist knows,
anything may be proved by Proverbs.
For instance, you can prove the ex-
istence of Swedish matches by Proverbs
