retort that the peers wanted to tax the
poor mans loaf instead of their own
land. Some of the landlords were IN
wise enough to declare that the new

action was condemned even by sthe Tory
leaders.
Peerage and ~Beerage,

had a powerful effect in the campaign.

brought many churchmen into the

the dancer filings back part of a ton of

as if they ought 10 have a vote IN the
matter OF how it is disposed OF, and by
whom.
Modest people rarely tell OF their
deeds OF charity, but if you are de-
sirous of accurate data on the subject
you might put a man on the case and
perhaps find out who is actually con-
tributlng TO charity In FL PasO and
who has always done so, regardless Of
what they were-the common people I

is generally some grave charge
brought against almost every petition

record Of those making a report OF

fact that poverty and sin go hand IN

am willing TO make affidavit to any
case I may point out where they have
