The UncOnsidered Billions
from the Duluth Herald.

From the Duluth Herald
Graded according to the amount of
biographical material printed about
him. George Washington ranks only
nineteenth among the worlds great fig
ures. So reported DR.. Albert K. Keckel
at a Bicentennial observance at the
University of Missouri.
But nineteenth is pretty high.
For the professor pointed out that
out of $4,000, 100000 persons estimated
to have reached maturity since the
dawn of history, 5000 rose high enough
to earn enrolment in a who's Who
in the Universe" if there were such q
work.
To be nineteenth among 5000 is dis
tinction enough, especially when it is
realized that undoubtedly one of those
whose biographical tonnage exceeded
that of Washington was Napoleon. And
the odd fact about Napoleon is that the
havoc he wrought on the face of the
earth while he lived was as great as the
impress he left after he was gone was
small. In other words, his permanent
influence on mankind was in inverse
proportion to the fuss he made while he
lived.
Ard if any of us are disturbed be-
cause we have not won place in any
who's Who in the Universe" we can
cheer ourselves up by rejecting that
there are 81, s9s, 995 900 more of us.

indignation against the wretched man

indignation against the wretched man
who has Just been sentenced runs high
condemns him to a place in obloquy
only little short Of that In which the
stealers and slayers Of the baby have
been cast by the American people. His
sneering attitude before the court when
sentence was pronounced is further
affront. Let there be short shrift for
him and the fullest possible exaction of
punishment, with the least considera-
ton on the abused score of good be-
havior"! The longer he remains in
close restraint, with the most painful
accompaniment of imprisonment, the
better satisfied the country will be.

From Bad to Worse.

From Bad to Worse.
John Barleycorn In manner bold =
You rise and take the floor.
You are as laxative, we're told.
AS in the days Of yore.
Again you seek to place the stein
Upon the table cloth.
Still to opinion we incline
That most Of you is froth.
You puzzle an expectant crowd
With oratory breezy.
You're bad enough when speaking louc
And worse when you speak easy.

Safe Announcement.

I am inclined to speak my mind
In accents plain and sure
Concerning ills I hope they'll find
At last some way to cure.
Since an opinion must be had,
I'll make it plain and strong.
That Sorrow is exceeding Sad
And Crime is very Wrong.

Senior Luis Araquistain Que
vada. recently appointed Spanish
Ambassador to Germany. presented his
credentials to President Won linden
burg, the later acknowledged ap-
preciatively the cordial relations which
have always existed between the Reich
and Spain. President Won Hindenburg
recalled that during the World War,
Spain maintained an absolute neu-
trality. Due to her isolated and COM
paratively indefensible position, it was
not possible for her to evidence a
more open friendship. but it remains
clear that during that conflict the
people of the peninsula were actuated
by sense of justice and reciprocity.
President Won Hindenburg hoped that
the same mutual respect and forbear-
ance will continue to govern the
relations of the two nations, and that
through this kindly feeling and genuine
understanding brighter and happier
future may be assured for all Europe
Senior Araquistain Quevada as
sMed the President in his reply that
the accomplishments and successful
functioning of the German republic
had inspired Spain with the desire to
emulate her example and so have been
incentives in the formation of a new
Spanish constitution fashioned after
that of Germany. AS a republic it is
now more than ever the policy of Spain
to collaborate with Germany, and the
other countries of Europe in the
establishment OF benefcent social
order and permanent international
peace.
Through the new envoy, President
Alcala Zamora also extended his
personal Fluctuations to the German
government and the German people.
President Zamora has since en-
barked for short rest in the island
OF Majorca on board the cruiser
Almirante Cervera. He will be the
guest of the city of Palma, which is
eagerly preparing for him her warm
est welcome.
