Show DARIUS J The neigh of a horse made Darus King of Persia, the six contending powers for the throne agreeing among themselves that the one whose horse should neigh first should possess the kingdom. This ancient method of settling disputes among politicians could be revived with profit today. If our partisan factions and petty politicians pol-iticians could only settle their disputes dis-putes by the neigh of a horse, the bark of a dog or the bray of a donkey, It would be a great blessing and would give our citizens a better opportunity to pursue the vocations of Industry free from political strife. Let those who pick political plums by raising rows and who flash swords dripping in the blood of Industry understand un-derstand that they cannot turn the public forum into a political arena and by a clash of personal aspirations still the hammer and atop the plow and that their quarrels must be settled in the back alleys of civilization. |
