THE WAY OF POLITICS

PREMIER’S VARIED LIFE F 45. } s 'i Jubfi.t'P Mr. Stevens, Premier of New South Vales, doubtless has repeated to hiraelf often the old proverb, “Politics make trange bedfellows.” He presents the nany-sidedness necessary to his office, iometimes he reads the lessons in a rlethodist Church, and next he may be a a Roman Catholic Church listening to he C-oadjutor Archbishop., applying a courge to. members of Parliament. Although an opponent of gambling in ,11 forms, Mr. Stevens was lately enterained by leading members of Tattersall’s Hub itri Sydney. He listened to their ompliments as lie. studied the cheques vhich they had asked him to hand to farioua charitable institutions. “We regard you as a one-time winner of the rtime Ministership of Australia,” said ,be chairman of the club, Mr. James Hark. “Wo shall put our money on fou for the event,” said another mem>or. Again Mr. Stevens smiled, and so le goes the round of all activities, busiless and social, and is able to adapt limself to all situations.
