ECAUSE of the exquisite quality of my contents I am (and always must
Bremain), a scarce article of commerce. Whisky cannot be made old
except by keeping it.
My managers have, with mature deliberation, resolved to cater only for those who are willing to pay the price for the very best article.
There is not enough of my quality to allow of my being popular except amongst the select circles of discriminating users of alcohol.
Do not be surprised because I am not found everywhere. If I were I would not be the supremely fine article that I am. As I am a supremely fine article. you must be willing to pay the highest price for me, or else be satisfied with " something less fine..

He has never studied angeþing, but hos Lunde it bis practice, te pick up as he wem, along, auch information as might se to be required to meet the emergency of the moment. His ignorance is colossal, and-bis inaccuracy amazing. When the question of proportional representation came up in the debates on the recent Parliamentary reform, he admitted that he had never thought it worth while to look into the subject. In the Queen's Hall speech in August, 1917. he showed that h believed the Monroe Doctrine to be em- bodied in i treaty which had been signed by several of the Great Powers. No one ever went into an international conference with so little, knowledge of the nature of the problems to be solved as he took with him to Paris. And when a subject actual.
This nimbleness will rescue a politicin out of a good many tight place, but when is is brought into play too often it is apt to undermine the confidene that is en- tia to leader's permanent influence. It is well enongh for the day, but awk. wird facts that have been ignored or evaded reassert themselves the ruorning after. The weakness of Mr. Lloyd George's brilliant feats of reconciliation between opposing interests is that, though both parties may leave the room in the conviction that they have won their cause,, one of them discovers on later reflection that it has been had. and the old trouble breaks out again with increased hitterness. The failure is most serions when the conflict that is supposed to have been, thus adroitly settled is one that has its roots in fundamental differences of principle.
