ere later. But we think it rather lit
lie for outsiders, who have business OF |
heir own requiring attention, to spend
, much time drumming work away
n other grounds than merit. We have |
ever tried to "bulldoze" patronage

f their politics or their religion, and
re look with contempt on those who
o so. Community will come to look
it in the same way by and-bye. See
they do not
