it is difficult for the statesman to get
away without having listened at least
ten minutes to the man. This individual
is positive that the establishment of his
bureau will result in incalculable good
to the entire nation. He never makes
any Roadway with his scheme. and yet
he is just as sanguine that 1t will not be
long before Congress will enact legisla-
ton such, as he recommends, and so
from day to day he is buoyed up with
the hope that his name is going down
to posterity as benefactor to the human
race. AS his halucinatiOn does no harm
to any one. he is free to go and come
as he pleases.
Still another case of bugs" is that of
the man who has claim against the
government. He chases around the
Capitol in strenuous manner. inter
views congressman indHstriously. and
is always on the verge of getting a
favorable report on his bill, which, if
enacted, will make him Independent for
life. Whether or not there is merit in
his claim is d matter of small conse-
quence. He is convinced that it is just,
and it has been his one aim in life for
such long time that he cannot see
anything but success awaiting his eff
forts. There Is no limit to his hope,
and he knows not despair. From day to
