We pushed on briskly, and by the
time we had reached st. jacques we
were warm enough, despite the chilli
ness Of the morning. At a stall near
the church, and hard by the Pont Notre

We have said many mean things
about Markie Hanna in the past
and perhaps most that we have said
has been aud is true. But Markle
is one man, and the only one we
know of in the United States senate,
or in any other official position, for
that matter, who has spoken the
whole truth as regards public Off
cials generally. 1t has been much
quoted and commented on, the re-
mark that Hanna made that no
man in public Office owes the public
anything" This is absolutely true,
it may sound strange to some, but
it is true nevertheless and will
apply until the present system OF
nominating public officials is chang
ed. 1t is true that all the people
vote to put men in Office, but the ma
chimes first nominate the candidate
then the people hooray for them,
and vote for them and think they
have had big part in the play
Well they have-they have played
the hand that was dealt to them by
the sharpers. When all the people
exercise their rights as they should,
ignore the machine, and take part
IN the selection of candidates
then, and not until then will the
words of Mark Hanna be true.
