the Chicago Times-Herald. The
Wisconsin voter may have
thought the devil ought to have
his due and that the assessment
of taxes was all he could ask. Or
he may have turned to the father
of lies as the only consistent
Judge of a tax schedule. He
may have regarded the devil as
a better choice than the other
candidate or he may have adopted
this means of pointing out to the
unregenerated the drift of
politics.
At any rate we are glad that
the devil was not elected. He
has some shred Of reputation
left.
Incensed with indignation Satan stood
Unterryfy'd, and life comet burned
That fires the length of Ophiuchus huge
In tn arctic sky.
He would not do in the tax
office. He would be abashed at
what he saw. He would lose his
good madners and courteous
speech. He would wonder why
he fell.
No, rather than bring the devil
into politics we should prefer to
let the politicians go to the devil.
