with bad eggs; he cares never a cop
per what his reputation or religion
may be; if his babes dread his home
coming and his better half swallows
her heart every time she has to ask
him for a FIVE dollar bill. he believes
that man fraud of the first wa
ter, even though he prays night and
morning until he is black in the face,
and bowls hallelujah until he shakes
the eternal hills. But if that mans
children rush to the front gate to
meet him. and loves own sunshine
illumines the face Of has wife when
she hears his football, Stanley be-
lieves that man is true gold, for his
nome is a heaven, ard the humbug
never gets that near the great white
throne of God. Stanley is a man
who would rather make men swear
than women weep; who would rather
have the whole world than the con-
tempt of his wife; who would rather
call anger to the eyes Of a king than
fear to the face Of child. Stanley
is as full of sentiment as an egg is Of
meat, and as courageous as he is
brilliant PrefeYment would be val
ueless to such a man if purchased at
the price of his independence and
his self respect. Above all else, he
is a manly man, and cares absolutely
nothing for success for the mere
sake of success. He would rather
watch the stars shining down
through the immensely, or the cool
mist creeping round the purple hills
than feast his eyes on all the taV dry
treasures of Ophir and of Ind. He
would rather play a corn stalk fiddle
while pickaninnies dance than build
of widows signs and orphans tears
a fiimsy bubble of fame to be blown
adown the narrow baech of time in
to eternity's shoreless sea. He would
rather be the beggar lord of lodge
in the wilderness, dress in suit of
sunburn. and live on hominy and
hope. yet see the loveight blaze I'M
bought in truthful eyes, than to be
the marauding emperor of the
mighty world, and know not who
fawned upon the Master and who
esteemed the Man.
Such, in brief, is the man Ken
lucky has in the Congress of the
United States, and it would be a sac
rilege and a sin against intelligence
to supplant him in the hour of his
usefulness.
