NOT TO BE TAKEN
TOO SERIOUSLY

In an address given by Major Gen.
eral Organ Of the 9th Division, he
told an amusing story Of an English
Tommy out on night guard knee deep
in the mud. He was tired and dis
couraged and finally was heard to say:
"Oh, Lord, how I hate this mud, a
moment or so later, ooh, Lord, how l
hate this water" and again few mo-
ments later: ooh, Lord, how wish l
was dead" just then a German shell
exploded so Z near to him that it
knocked him down. When he had got
ten over his fright and had gathered
himself together he was heard to say:
"Oh Lord, can't you take joker"

may be. There are plenty of Demo-
Gratis who would rather lose with an
organization candidate than win with
a candidate like Hoover who woulI
give orders and not take orders.
In his uncompromising oppo ition
to Mr.. Hoover, Senator Penrose is fol-
lowing the instinct of self-preserva-
tion. Nobody knows better than he
that if Mr.. Hoover were the Republi-
can candidate for President he would
be elected and that if he were elected
the Penroses and the Lodges and the
Barneses and all the rest of the reac.
tionary crew would soon cease to DOM
mate the Republican party. The
leader would be Herbert C. Hoover,
and Hoover's opinion of Penrose's
politics is matter of record
In asking Boies Penrose to take up
Hoover the Public Ledger is asking
the senator from Pennsylvania to cut
his own throat politically. It ougtt
not to be astonished if he vigorously
protests and resorts to drastic pro-
tective measures, like reading Hoover
out of the Republican party and def Il
ing him as Wilson Democrat If
the Public Ledger belonged to the Old
Guard wing of the Republican party
it would feel as Penrose feels about it.

IN Butch there burns secret fire
= Which he will not confess,
An overpowering desire
That not soul can guess.
Not wealth, the goal of baser souls,
Nor love his heart invokes.
He hopes to play his eighteen holes
And break hundred strokes.
In South Africa, as Ed Thierry
writes, a native must pay IL cattle
for one wife, and it takes the wife the
rest of her life to earn enough to get
her husband back into the financial
shape he was when parted with the
cattle.
There is, as Squire Abner Harping-
ton points out, but one thing in the
world YOU can't change-and that is
YESTERDAY.
