The grand book, now many years old, entitled "Maxims and Refections of Winston Churchill," has a foreword almost as fine as the book itself. Written by one of the authors, Colin Coote, that writing concludes:

"The prayer in history which suits him (Churchill) best, is surely the prayer of La Hire: 'Sir God, I pray You to do to La Hire as La Hire would do to You if You were La Hire, and La Hire were God."

The words of Churchill when he spoke in England's darkest hour to his people and promised them "blood, toil, sweat, and tears," are adjudged by all men to be immortal. They are in a class with the likewise immortal words of .Garibaldi, who said: "Soldiers, what I have to offqr you is fatigue, danger, struggle, and death." And of the likewisd mighty words of the French Clemenceau during World War One when he told the Germans that: "I shall fight in front of Paris, in Paris, and behind Paris." ***

The names of Churchill, Garibaldi and Clemenceau, together with their words just quoted, should be printed where all men for all time, may read and admire.

THE GREAT WILL ROGERS was a man who could take a licking and like it. Shortly after Will returned from his famous trip to Russia, Arthur Brisbane, star editorial writer for the Hearst papers, printed some very strong editorials about Russia. In his daily column then running in the newspapers, Will Rogers needled his friend Brisbane for writing about Russia, without having been there. The next day Brisbane replied that a certain Leonardo had painted a world famous picture of the Lord's Last Supper, and that the painter not only was not at the supper, but was not even invited. The wise Rogers had stuck his neck out, got it axed, and enjoyed it thoroughly.
