not usually eat the pic their labor has
produced. Nine times out of ten, some
rank outsider who has taken no part at

cold. If there is anything in the axiom,
ITO the victors belong the spoils," then
these rank outsiders should be iclcgated
and tho men who do the work be reward
ed, not alone with the richest places, but
in every instance of. minor appointment
or election. Not even the crumbs should
go to those who do not bear their breasts
before the battle of the ballots.
