0VERwORKED POLITICAL PROMISES

To make promise and to keep 1t
are two totally different things, not
only in private life but also In politi-
cal, as many have found to their sor.
row in the past and are likely to do
again this year as the time for nomin.
ations and elections approaches. A
promise Is the ready money of the poll
tician. With it he can buy influence,
position, and power But IL is a coin
whose value shifts with the man who
uses 1t. Certain individuals among us
are endeavoring to gain personal in.
fluence by suggesting to their so.called
friends that they get into the race and
run for some such position as sheriff
or member of the legislature. This is
suggestion always very flatterlng to
the recipient. Even II he does not
act on 1t, 1t is very gratifying to him
to feel that someone thinks he is ca
pable OF filing some position of honor
and trust In the political world and
his heart CLOVIS with vanity and good
feeling toward the man who has had
the brilliant idea Of exalting him. II

nothing OF our own opinion. The gar.
bage cans that the literary ladies OF

needed them Then, too, there were
