AN HONEST ADMISSION
Sir Wilfrid Laurier tells a story about an electioneering tour lie was making in Ontario. The elections were being bitterly contested and every effort was being made to stir up race and religious prejudice.

The answer came as follows: ' Very sorry to say the report is correct. I have no children.'
