A satirical profile of Rainbow Bill, a dapper provincial cad dubbed the He-Flirt. He parades a glamour image, inflating tales of wealth and romance to win and discard women across cities, with victims scattered 200 miles away.
The piece describes Rainbow Bill being lured into a 1901 style flat by local girls, his failure to impress, and a moralizing ending condemning manipulation. It then shifts to a political rant defending open door policy for China while opposing Chinese exclusion, criticizing a Chinese funds drive to defeat renewal of the Geary act and urging vigilance against corruption.
The HP annual message from Rev. Jerry Rounder mocks elections as a barrier to prosperity and lampoons political promises.
