got me twisted till don't know if I'm
ley. annyway2 Is it a new scheme
Tammany has put across, or is it an
invinshun ay the Ould Gaur-r-d?"
"Hinnissy, yer ignorance is thruly
deplorable." said Dooley severely. "As
an American cittyzen what loves the
insthftooshuns av his country shud
think we'd thry 10 keep abreast av the
time insthead av goin' around askin'
questions that stamp We as a gintleman

Hinnissy. We will know how to answer

to me"
But what's the use?" said Hennessy.
Cant the legislators elect Sinators
ANYMORE? How are they goin' to git
amy better min with this advisry vote
than they have been gittin'?"
"Hinnissy. ~ have an intillict like

bend the glorious, modern ideas av
free an enlightened government. Sure,
Hinnisey. the LEGISLATOR IS not ekal to
the soler-n an arduOus task a. cleo
tin SinatoTs. The LEGISLATOR is not
wise enough nor is il honest enough
1t took as more than a hundred years,
to find that ont but we have
discovered il at last an the Wondher
Is that we didn't so down 70 wreck an
ruin years an years ago because a.
cur ignorance. It's collective wisdom
what we need. Hinnissy, collective
wisdom an the composite cittyzen. The
composite cittyZen is something what
wuZ discovered by Sinator Jonathan
Bour-r-ne. av Oregon, an it's that
what is goin' to do the job fer US. It's
this way. Hinnissy. Yez may not be
very honest-not sayin' We amt, We
know, but jist usin' We fer an lllustra-
shun. Well. yez may not be honest an
l may not be honest, but put the two
av us togither an were daycint, ray
spictable individeOals, because we've
become parts av' the composite City

more honest still, an whin they git tin
Thousand together the composite City
zen raysultin therefrom is pretty near
an economic angel. That's the way it
wur-ruks. Hinnissy."
Il see said Hennessy. Wan crook
is crook: but tin crooks taken in
bunch all together are rayfOr-r-mers
an Sunday School teachers. It's
beautiful theory, Dooley. an. encour-
agin.' 1 wonder why it don't wor-ruk
out at Sing SING"
That's wan av the fool quisthions,
Hinnissy. what shows We don't appre-
ciate the efforts what have been made
to emancipateEyez frum the tyranny av
the bosses an that slavery imposed by
the speshul Interests. Sure, an the
advis'ry vote, which same is the COM
posite cittyzen i'm action, is wan av
the gr-r-eatest discoveries av the age.
It's goin' to make a suvverin out av
livery down throdden voter, an it's
goin' to land our felly counthryman,
Brady O'Nein in the Sinit. Whin We
see thin things cum to pass, Hinnissy,
yen know that the cause of liberty an
pollytics is still a mar-r-chin' on"
An who is Brady O'Neill?" asked
Hennessy.
Sure. an he's the man best bet. the
biggest man in all the west He's the
man what raised Arizony from the
lowly stashun av a poor relation to the
exalted spear av glorious statehood.
Down at Washington they wuZ throw
in the hooks into Arizony when Brady
cum along. 'Sthop it, he yells. an they
sthops it. Cit a bill ready SEE Brady.
'admittin' us into this free an unlim
tied sisterhood av sthates, he SCI, an
pass it forthwith he seZ.' an thin give
il to me- he SEE. They didn't want to
do it but they had to. Then Brady
took the bin an walked over to the
White House Sign here he says to-
President Taft, pintin' wild his finger.
My dear Of chum,' SEE the president.
I'd do it in a minnit; but l call yer
