Excerpt from Jedge Waxem's Pocket-Book of Politics Jedge Wabash Q. Waxem, Member of Con gress from the Wayback District, is a unl versal statesman. Caressed by no party, kicked by none, he stands forth as the ex ponent of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Representing a dis trlct remote from the rigors of convention ality, free from entangling alliances with La bor or Capital, untrammeled by wealth and unchecked by poverty, driven by no fear and led by no favor, he Is a representative man and statesman of the Star Spangled Banner type who could not be elected to ofl'loe any where on earth outside of a book. He is the ideal statesman for whom the People cry, but do not vote. He is a dream politician whom they will not permit to come true. He prevails always in their minds, but not in their morals. He is their sentiment, not their action; their fancy, not their fact. They admire the manner of man he ls, but when the polls are opened they vote for a condition, not a theory. Great are the People.
