skins gracefully over the surface Of
things, never looking into the depths
where lies the truth he vsinly seeks by
gazing at the sky.
"Why," asks Professor Brooks, "like
the green bay tree, does the beat -four
ish among usP" And his answer is q
fair specimen Of the value Of his entire
essay: "Chiefly because the public
chooses TO support him."
Post hoe, ergo prOpter hoo is the logic Of
Professor Brooks. The tramp is fed;
therefore the tramp exists. Which will
be accepted by Mr.. Brooks admirers Rs
being conclusive, since, il the tramp was
not fed and could not steal anything, he

there will be established the law of
equal rights to all; special privileges to
