WHAT IS A LIBERAL?
Sir-When Heywood Broun took his son to the circus for the first time and the boy saw the shining, exciting merry-go-round whirling around with its load of bright, laughing passengers he immediately clamoured to be put on, However, when he had been lifted on, and the machine began to start, Broun Jnr. screamed himself blue in the face to be taken off, Mr. Broun led his young son away to another part of the-circus, but the boy cried to be taken back. When he got next to the merry-go-. round again he refused to be put on it, only wanting to be near enough to feel the wind as it sped by and seeing the passengers in their places: But never any nearer than where he could, just touch the edge! Heywood Broun’s apt definition of a liberal is anything but complimentary to the futile people who "cut little ice these days," and ought to be known
| by them. _
