even five years earlier, the man who
concluded to dispose of the old senator
would not have dared to aspire. But he
knew that he was dealing with ? fail
ing intellect and he proceeded accord
ingly. The old senator was induced to
believe that he could never be reelected;
that his health would not withstand the
strain of a heated campaign. and that
he could retire with honor by becom-
ing member of the cabinet. The pres
ident of the republic, who was also a
politician. looked favorably upon the
ambitions of the new man, and he pre-
pared a place in the cabinet for the fail
ing statesman. The result was that the
old man went into the cabinet, and the
younger politician took his place in The
senate.
That was the first step towards get
ting rid of the old man. The next step
was to publicly announce the feeble
condition of the venerable statesman,
and let the people know that he was un-
fit to hold a cabinet position. This was
done through the newspapers. 1t was
done to prepare for the final act of get
ting rid OF the grand old man who had
served his country long and well.
Weeks went by and months rolled
rolled around. Frequently the news
papers were used to disseminate state
ments concerning the grave errors
which the venerable statesman was
committing, and finally, after the peo-
pie of the republic had been prepared
for the event, the old man was required
to resign his cabinet office and retire to
private life, with shattered health and
the humiliation and chagrin of betrayal
in the house of his friends.
These are only a few instances of
public affairs which illustrate and
prove the proposition that all politi-
clans are selfish, and that they are fire.
quently cold-blooded towards those
who stand in the way of their ambi-
tions. Past friendship counts for but
little, and usually for nothing. When
politician once entertains a desire for
his own advancement, he not only seeks
public favor, but he proceeded to knock
out all who seem to be in the pathway
which leads to the goal which he seeks
One thing more. When politician
gets into the senate or house of repre-
sentatives he wants TO stay there. His
whole object is to retain his place for
life. Consequently, instead of placing
public interest before anything else,
the politician goes to the work of legis-
lation with the idea OF a denomination
aud a reelection in view. Every bill in
troduead and every bill which he tries
to have passed is handled with a view
to increasing his own popularity with
the people. in order that he may retain
his place in public life.
