RIPPLING RHYMES.
BY Walt Mason.
CAN ED KINGS

The man who's once held down
throne Is good for nothing
else. Il seems, and though he's
exiled and alone, the reigning
graft still fills his dreams. King
Carl tried twice to nail the
crown that war had lifted from
his brow; his former subjects
turned him down. and he Is on
the hogtrain now. And people
say Ex-Kaiser Bill yet dreams
OF going back once more, 70 ply
a scepter With the skill that got
him in ~, soup before. And
doubtless Kronprinz William
hopes to be a monarch, wearing
bells. as he Is sliding down the
slopes OF that far island where
he dwells. To be a king these
days and reign. and wear
brass, machine made hat, Oh.
no one can be safe and sane, and
long TO hold a job like that. Once
kings could sit around in state
and watch the palace fountains
squirt, but that bright day has
pulled its freight. and monarchs
now are cheap as dirt. Once
kings were proud and naughty
gents, with courtiers kneeling
at their feet. but now they look
like thirty cents. and wish they
had enough to eat. Far better
saw five cords Of elm. with mois-
ture on the regal brow, than try
again TO rule a realm. the way
all kingdoms stack up now.

WHAT STRIKES COST.

According TO data collected by gov

throughout the United States arc now
incurring losses at the rate OF $4,000

reports that, In spite OF the widespread
unemployment. the closing year will
establish a new record for strikes.
and the number of workers on strike
during the frst six months Of 1921
was far In excess OF the total In the

IUSITANIA FIEND KILLED.

An interesting news item Of yester-
day was the one reporting the death
by violence Of the captain Of the Para
guayan warship Adolfe Riuueime. He
had acted in such brutal manner
that finally his crew rose In mutiny.
bound and hogged him, and then
threw him into the sea.
The most interesting element in this
news item Is the statement that this
brutal officer was Captain Lieutenant
Sweiger. formerly Of the Imperial
German navy, the villainous brute
who was In command OF the German
submarine that sank the steamship
Lusitania, drowning hundreds OF her
crew and passengers. including many
women and children. This act Of saw
agery appalled, and Mortified all the
world save Germany and her equally
brutal sympathizers.
IL is hoped. therefore. there is truth
in the report that the man thus made
victim of summary reprisal by. n
crew he had treated with outrageous
brutality, was the master hand in the
Lusitania horror. II so, he has merely
met the fate he justly deserved. and

equally retrihutive, should have beer

eral Burleson, is apt TO be an indul-

But the voters ordered the change

we'll as enjoy the benefits that come.
if any.
Mr.. Hays has already been obliged
TO add materially TO the expenses of
the mail service by employing marines
to guard through mail trains. but this
move was made necessary by the dar-
ing lawlessness Of bold bandits. and
the people will bear the cost uncom-
plainingly. But it may be different
with other increases in the charges
for mail service which Mr. Hays rec
