Dramatic Soprano, To Give Recital Actually, these two incidents have more signifiâ€" cance than the picture they evoke of a rather stupid little man trying to pick up a hot stove.They indicate that the man is not very smart, and that when he gets away from his censors he cannot long conceal it. They also indicate that he doesn‘t have a very deep appreâ€" ciation of the dignity that is supposed to be inherent in the office he holds. Even more important, they inâ€" dicate that he doesn‘t think he has to even pretend to the dignity and restraint that at one time were conâ€" sidered proper to that office. . When such sentiments become so much of a party‘s thinking, as a result of long tenure in office, it‘s time for a chinge. We don‘t ‘think that a few years of Republican political victories would usher in the Millennium. We do think they would be a very healthâ€" ful development for the entire country.
