welfare, Edward Rosewater, and the great
paper, which he has founded have carried
| on an unceasing warfare against corruption
| in public office, and for thirty-ive years
| his unceasing efforts have been directed
towards the uplifting, of the human race,
| the establishment of reforms, which would
be beneficial to the state and nation.

| through his untiring energy and his in
| domitable perseverance.
