Politicians have learned the way of using benevolence to draw sacks to their own mills.

Tenderness of heart has degenerated in sconces of instances into softness of head. Softheadedness, let it be known, injures him who 'practices it and the one who apparently is advantaged thereby. Folk of the right sort have .seen this and are acting accordingly. Unemployment, too, has become a business. The sharks of Tammany Hall know all about this.

When asked why they had resorted to this method of carrying on they replied in language of unmistakable 'significance that they were not out to pay the unreasonable prices asked of them by local entertainers and caterers.

These young fellows will tell you that they had the best of outings besides adding substantially to their bank’accounts. It is a pleasure to know that the stuff of which'men are made still exists.
