the pain it causes.--Dr. Thomas Se,vau.
You are filling your aims houses, and .jails and
penitentiaries, with victims loathsome and bur-
densome TO the community. You are engaged in
business which is compelling your fellow citizens
to pay taxes to support the victims Of your EN-
ployment. You are filing up these abodes OF
wretchednes and guilt, and then asking your fel-
low citizens to pay enormous taxes indirectly to
support it.--ReU. hilbert Barnes,
Whether you will hear or whether you win for
