disgusting personality for honest news
We should offer honest hospitality and
not the miserable pretense of it to ourt
friends. We should live, all of US, with4
in our means. Then there would bS
fewer men in the penitentiary, a lessl

A sermon? Perhaps it is, but 1t cuts
me TO the heart to see our bright, pretty
American women bowling down to this
false god, and 10 realize that he rides
over our generous, loving man as if he
were in the car of Juggernaut, killing in
them all honesty of purpose and hope Of
happiness. Stop short, and live your
life as it was intended to be. Make il
as beautiful as you please. Let it be fair
and just. There is nothing in this world
half so good as justice, because real
justice is tempered with mercy, and it Is
what we all yearn to have given to us,
though we may call it by a different
name Think it all over. my friends
think of it as a mean vice, as a contemp-
tible one, and when you do look at it in
that way, l do believe that you will
get rid of it, for there is nobody who has
such a positive faith in the uprightness
of the American woman and the American
man as &heir present preacher.
