Political Opportunists

The first panacea for a mismanayd nation is inflation of the cuffency; the second is way/ Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a gpryf,anent ruin. But both are the refuge of political arrd ecMomic opportunists.

-Ernest Hemingway.

Might Never Need Them

As the blushing bride said to the furniture salesman: "Twin beds are all right, but of course there is no use buying them until we get the twins."

TRUTH \VILL FINALLY TRIUMPH

"A true optimist," says Dr. Williamlyon Phelps, "is one who recognizes the sorrow",\ory1l6, drawbacks, misfortunes of life, its injustices and l{qualities. But while seeing these things, the optimist believes that however strong error may be, truth in the long run will triumph."

Hewitt-"You don't seem to think irch of him."

Jewett-"If he had his con$9[rfce taken out it would just be a minor operation."

STRA\^/ MEN

The straw vote is raging again and it's not such a bad idea. So many of the candidates are straw men or will be when they get back in Congress.

CARELESS WITH THE OTHER FELLOW'S DOUGH

That some congressman who would say yes every time the President sent over for another billion will look a little sad and ask her what she is going to do with all that money when his wife asks him for six-bits.

Safe Driving

Nervous Passenger: "Don't drive so fast around the corners. It makes me frightened."

Chauffeur: "Do what I do-shut your eyes when we come to a corner."

More Ways Than One

ies bayonet drill. They my. One awkward fellow stumbled, missing with his bayonet, but flattening his nose a it.

It Ends On The Viewpoint

Jim Jones, my neighbor on the west, Of all my neighbors is the best. So friendly, square and kind is Jim There's just one fault to find in him. By my backyard fence he piles his trash, Tin cans and rubbish like a hash. It tries my good wife's patience sore, Jim's landscape viewed from our back door.

But just last week I had a shock, Our breakfast coffee out of stockTo Jim's a-borrowing I did go, Then gossiped on his porch, and lo ! I had a peep at our back yard; I caught my breath and caught it hard, Old papers, ashes, piles of bones, In my back yard the same as Jones.
