Autocratlo Assertions
“Are you a servant of the people?
asked the constituent
“Yes" replied Senator Sorghum
"Only it should be observed that a
really first-class servant may come
pretty nearly being a boss”
How He Left
The servants were discussing the
matter below stairs
“Master and mistress ’ad something
of a row last night I ’ear" said the
butler ponderously
“You should have heard ’em" an-
swered the parlor maid In a shocked
tone “Scandalous is what I calls it!"
“They tell me ’e ran out cranked ’Is
motor car and left in it”
"No" said the maid positively Jhe
didn't leave in his machine I dis-
tinctly heayl the mistress say he left

Matter of Justice
Where shall Justice begin with
those who have power or with those
who suffer wrong ? If exact and ideal
Justice were done the weak would
make an effort to give to the strong
all that is their due and the strong
would try to put their affairs iu order
so that no Just cause of complaint £
should exist anywhere The unhappy i
element In the relations of the strong
and the weak Is that both are think-
ing too much about exacting Justice
and not enough about doing that
which Is Just and right “Pay what
thou owest” is the cry most often
heard “Give me that which is my
due then I will pay you what I owe"
