Tho position of those who contend that the United States would be able, in case of need to defend herself, reminds re-minds me of Rastus Johnson's attitude atti-tude toward the food question. When I was clork of the probate court, back In "Old Mlzzou," Rastus approached me for tho loan (?) of a quarter, with which to purchase something some-thing to eat. Morely to hear what excuse ex-cuse he would offer, T inquired: "Why don't yo'u go to work and earn some quarters, as I do?"
