In other states where there are two

then become the methods and issues of

in this case the crisis that has, in my

arises out of the political methods and

is with You. The burden itself rests on

must rely for the handling of It, for the

The question is not one to be settled

through the years as far as the eye of
mortal man can reach. 1t must be handled

larly, of John Joy Edison. who has
been assigned the statistical part Of

statistical report to the Congressional

legislation. Isaac Cans, Of the ways
