WASHINGTON
CURRRENT
COMMENT
Robert Burns said that man's
Inhumanity to man makes count
less thousands mourn. A good
example of inhumanity and ingtar
Itnde is found in the instance of
Indiana thugs who knocked a doc
tor unconscious after he had treat
«d their gun shot wounds. The
Spanish had a proverb which ap
plies quite as well as the line
from the Scotchman’s poem,. It
runs: The ass, having drunk, giv
en a kick to the bucket. The Unit
ed States does not appear to have
a monopoly on ingrates.
Mr. Hitler seems to have adopt
led the methods of the queen in
Alice in Wonderland, whose oft
re-curring order was: Off with his
head. France has just discove-r
;ed that a horrible mistake was
made when a half-dozen men
were shot for insurrection about
ten years ago, and has cleared
up their names of shame and paid
their families about a dime each.
If at Mme future date, Germany
finds the execution squads of the
present ought to have held their
fire, she may follow the example
of France and let the orphans live
on the restored good name* of the ^
executed, the dime being laid up
for a rainy day.
jv _
The country spent seven billion
dollars during the last year, and
look in three billion, in round
numbers. The difference does not
appear to have given rise to out
cry. It is not the purpose of this
paragraph to start any discussion.

but rather to note how easily one
may become accustomed to talk
ing In, large figures. A patriot of
the past rose to popularity wlieTi
he said that he favored millions
for defense but not one cent for
tribute. Today he would be ad
monished to speak In a language
which the people fan understand.
During the hot spell that swept
over parts of the country recently,

be out of order to reprint the story
of the man who contemplated .»
trip to Egypt. When warned that
it was over a hundred for a week
in a hotel there, he replied: Well
I can live in a cheap boarding,
house.

The government of the United
States has handed back, with ap
propriate ceremonies, a staff of
office in the Canadian parliament
picked up during the unpleasant
ness of 1812. The returji of the
article was a graceful and ap
propriate gesture. Few countries
are separated from their nefg'>
bors by a long and unguarded line
like that which lies between the
United States and the Dopiinion.
The individual citizen from this
side of the boundary may have a
run-in with a Canadian* traffic of
ficer or customs official now and
then, and here and there a Can
adian may think that we blow our
own horn too frequently and too
loudly, which Is probably true, but
as a whole, tranquility, mutual un
derstanding and kindly feeling
prevail. Certainly the two nations
are a long way removed from the
bitter watchfulness with which,
for example, Germany and Franco
scan each other.
FOR HALE: Wide gauge model
SO caterpillar equipped with top
seat, engine hood enclosure, 16
inches grouser trark shoe assembly
and a model T Is/woson two-speed
