The Real Reason.

When it was proposed to create more public offices, the masses, long suffering though they were, began to growl ominously. "But,” they expostulated, “there Is no work for more office holders to do!” Which proved beyond the peradventure of a doubt that the masses were just as stupid and unreasoning as the politicians believed them to be; for any one with even a modicum of intelligence should have learned by this time that office holders do not care for work—all they want is the salary. —Kansas City Star.
