It is & superstition that blonds are fickle and that brunettes have no creative genius. It is » superstition that red head- ed men have ungovernable tem pers and that bald-headed men in- habit the front rows of musical comedies. it is a superstition that Amer ida Is ruled by its women and that its men think of nothing but get ting rich quick, But, the most persistent supes- stition of all is that any govern- ment in » democracy is better or worse than the average popular sentiment of its day.
