net required to do anything fer us the work to
be done is their own WoTk-that of defending their
henroosts and pantriesand rather than do it they
talk Indignantly and invoke the protection OF the
army of the British empire.

eoiored people to keep ont of politics; it was
WEAKNESS to the flesh among the white people.
