HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922.

Why should a mar write himself a
fool by passing judgment, when the
judgment of to-day is appealed to-
morrow and the court of public de-
cision turns it all upside down? It's
better to follow old Admiral Sigsbee's
advice and suspend judgment. If we
suspend it long enough we won't de-
eide anything-defnitely First the
world was fiat, and that was right.
Now it's round and that is right.
Everything changes. Even modesty
and morals are geographical. When
you sum it up only Truth and Justice
are fixed, so perhaps it's best to spend
II time getting rid of their counter
feits and establishing what we are
sure will last. Where do we get
pounding some poor devil for obeying
a driving force he has not the power
to overcome when we might switch
him down a different track and make
his steam turn mill wheels instead of
tread mills?
