Robert Meharg, of Ireland, cannot be
accused of lacking persistency. Refused
248 times, Meharg proposed still another
time and was accepted. “Faint heart nev

So are the words, “If at first you don’t

Prom^^tW beginning of time, organized
society feoncemed itself with the effort
to protect the weak against Jthe strong.
Away back in the beginning of human re
lations there were honest men, easilyj^ex-
ploited, and dishonest men, who found
ways of taking their property away from
the honest.
There is no means of legislating'crook
edness out of a crook. The deliberately
dishonest will find loopholes through
which to crawl, no matter what sort of
laws are passed. Also, there is no way of
making honest men, by law, into careful
men. The fundamental weakness of the

was a narrow margin by' which
the House adopted the rule that
changes in the Administration’s
budget could not even he con

the proper committee, it was a
I clear enough victory. It ties the
honest man, which makes him as easy vie- j hands of the House against any
tim for the dishonest, is that he credits changes in the veterans’ compen
everybody else with being as honest as he
is himself. The crook, on the other hand,
assumes that everybody else will take ad
vantage of him unless he takes advantage
of the other fellow first.
