"THE BURNING QUESTION"
in all tlie .stories of history— There's nothing can compare— With financial conflagrations—That are burning everyAvhere. Money so some statists, say—Is the hard Avon spoil of yesterday— The staff of life for Avhich Ave pray— For which tomorrow, avc must pa}'. For instance, there's the BudgetAround Avhich our M.P.'s sitLike bad J)oa's striking matches— To lind each others ay it— They already havo- burnt millions— And are looking round for more— While they blame each other for the blaze— And. say the Nation's store— Of sugar is depleted— Our foes still undefeated. To mention namfe is futile — They all are in the play. Boys avLII be boys "Now the girls"—
No longer mean to stay— At home and let their lesser hahes — Have all there is to say. "Indeed" dear Mr Speaker— "It really is quite time— Feminine treble voices-— With manly bass should chime. Then sad indeed Avill be the fate — Of him, avlio dares insinuate Direct or indirectly state Ladies are not entitled to The last word in debate.. H. SERGANT.
