according to reliable dictionary, means capable of change, giddy, 1n- consistent, fickleness, alterab1e; 1n fact 1t means to do something con trary to what you intended. That's Just what the trolley company did on East Main street; they intended not to tread on anybody's toes, but they did md they had to change their dolngs. Then, again. they started to lay the tracks on Baldwin street, but they only did it half way they simply changed their mind. Well. the public doesn't mind a little thing like that, but if ward 'sheeleP" goes to convention and changes his mind and votes just the opposite to the way he first intend ed, then the public will raise a .hol- ler;s they'll say he Is a "galdarn" this, that and the other never think ing for moment that the poor 1elloW has a conscience and that he is actlns according to what he thinks is right But such is politics; you can't suit both sides. no matter how hard you may try.
