and behind these counters that are menace
to republican institutions and they stab
these institutions to the death. We are in an
attitude of placing this business in the
hands Of the most dangerous element of
society. Now lest my foreign friend who

counties like Belgium in it and have 400,-
600 acres for the Cherokees to roam over
after that 1--we will suppress the saloon
and turn these foreigners into our school
houses, our Churches, and our Sabbath
Schools We can ask them to come and stop

the rum power do net believe that any
people have patent upon Gods sunshine
and fresh air.
