its corrupt government. its overflow
OF population. and its vice. the great
city Is the menace of our morals and
our liberties.
The city like the dragon swallows
the vast throngs OF country boys and
girls that flock into IT, and by and by
when health, and virtue and hope are
gone, spews them out to die in want,
or wander as derelicts over the face
OF the earth.
And don't you see. my friend, that
when you take the money from the
country town. you destroy the chance
OF success there, and the boys and
girls will follow where you have sent
the money?
This town OF yours was founded on
faith. on the faith in the customs OF
