the political morals and tend to i'm
prove the character of legislation.
Now, most anyone would be
slightly timorous about denying the
existence of such a need, but some
would be so modest as to give Con-
gross a chance having had ones
say about the making of it. More
over, those inclined to be skep-
teal might inquire how anyone is
to know that the dear ladies who
assemble in competition with Con-
gross for the purpose of initiating
the congressional ways, giving Con-
gross plenty of advice and directing
it by force of example. really rep
resent the many million other ladies
who won't be able to get 4 seat in
this competitive Congress. Others
may inquire who is paying the
bills of this parliament of ladies,
what interests they represent
whether they are wise and have
plenty of oil for their trimmed
lamps, and-Eoll, several other
questions may suggest themselves.
