Mr.. HAIRLESS started out by com:
plimenting the sex to which the bali
dozen ladies in the audience belonged
and said but for the women the repub-
Ecars had never existed. In other

mistake was due to the tender sex.
He then spoke of the dignity and
necessity of politics, eaying that Eve
was the 6rst politician-that she got
away with old Adam badly. "Poli-
tics" said be, sis business. 1t is rs

q politician Is tits for night to succeed
the dsy. That man who harps about
the complexion of p,litics and declares
that he holds himself aIoof from its
communicating influence IL generally
the biggest politician that can be
found. It behooves . man to Do .
politicisn. and he who takes not part
In such affairs Is neither loyal nor pa
tr;otic-he is not . good American
