A move is afoot in the era to
'purify politics." ' This is a laudable
purpose, and when politics have been
duly vvrifled, the nations of the
worldTwlll have "clvtlixed war" and
the "refined hootchie-kootchte." Pol
itics can never be purified because
those without are overloaded wit 11
ennobling virtues, high powered
sanctimoniousness, and a meek spirit

XTKS, "Pop's" right. "Politics makes queer creatures out of the

Talk about snake bite! One injection of polities will make a hig

politician won't say and tlo and see, ten minutes after the virus has
redly started to work!
Some pood people think we have a sober country because of the
Volstead act. Far from it. This country will never be sober, until
some political Volstead arises ami makes it illegal for any American
citizen to have more than one-half of one per cent of politics in him.
Look at them! The political dopesters are as familiar sights now
as the village drunkards used t be. Only instead of not heing able
to walk straight, they can't talk straight. Instead of seeing snakes
j.ml pink Dinasaurs. they see thumb screws and gibbets, armed inva
sions and strange uprisings, (toothless gracious! What don't they
see! ' ' '
We used to wonder how the old boys mixed so much beer with
their business and were able to accomplish anything; now we won
der how the new boys mix so much politics with their business and
accomplish anything. They used to waste half their time talking over
the bar, now they waste three-quarters talking over the last election.
And the political bug can shatter the best reputation. No one is
proof against it. Your best friend as "Pop" intimates, may knife you
it he happens to be under its influence. In all seriousness it i very like
strong; drink. It makes perfectly honest men lie like pirates, it
makes the mild, vicious; the wise foolish; the bad, good; and the
good. bad. It turns everything upside down, topsy turvey, outside
in and inside out.
. Look at Charley Hall. He is a very likeable man, and a good
sport. If you beat hint in n close game of tennis he would he the first
to congratulate you and wish you well.
Hut observe the same man with the political virus working. Pat
terson, Bean, White, they have all congratulated Olcott and pledged
their support but Charley Hall sits nnim. Heateu in a fair fight, he
won't play. If the official count won't "put him over, then he wants
a. recount, and if a recount won't do the trick, then he wauts to split
the Republican party and run an independent candidate.
In other words here is politics making a good sport into a poor
one, a good loser into a poor loser.
