Until they are induced TO subscribe
and read the papers friendly TO and in
full sympathy with their needs. they
will not realize the Importance OF their

when will it get better? Never, un-

Party has pressed TO the front. are
enacted into law. This will not be
done, IL our people quietly cit down

a paper, and it is not right to expect a
few to spend their time and money to
keep them going. They can't do it
