Concerning Reform in General and Reform in the Second Ward in Particularly
 This is a Aerie of Reform sez my I Unkel Josef when he come in last mite rum d Reform meetin in tn Second Ward. Reform is Ram Pant up there They is as many as ? Score of us which is demandin' in No Uncertain Tone tn Regenerashun of Feenix. We're Equipt fer tn Fray agin tn Powers of. Evle. We got Orryters an Noreun of Reform which is a Noospa- per-
 What are you gein' to Reform? asks My Paw. Who is it up there in tn Second Ward at needs Reformin'?" Everybody but us" replize My Unkel Josef
 But they ain't menny of You" sez My Paw: T don't see how you ex- pect to Accomplish a Hole Lot"
 T know" replize My Unkel Josef, We are but Fue bur as tn Scrip chers sez a little Eleven. Eleveneth tn Hole Lump. We're more'n Eleven. They's Most forty of us Leeders alone. + they had a been only ten Richeous men. they could "a saved Sodium an Gomorry. They's surely enuff of us Richeous up there to save the Second Ward"
 I wuddent go to that trubble.'' seZ My Paw. If tn Second Ward Is that bad; if Everybody in it 'cep you Re- formers is Lyers an theeves an Crupt I'd Move Out into some other Ward an let tn Fier an tn Birthstone come down. Them other severle Hunderd Citizens, besides you an your Bruther Reformers ain't worth savin'. Let 'em Perish with their Wimmin an chill dern. If had sich a Opinyun of Feenix at you have of tn Second Ward I wuddent live in it over Mite I'd be afeered of tn Rath Of tn Almighty.
 They is a good deel of Need fer Reform in this here World, but not neer so much as menny fokes Thinks. To tn Cross idle man things Sometimes don't look strate when they is all Rite. So many Reformers is Cross idle an then they is a whole lot of 'em ain't Onnest It's tn most Nacherle thing in thy World fer a Skoundrel to start a cry ''at some body else is wun sos at tn Public will look away rum his self.
 Then agin. Reform is tn Cheapest Kind of Adyertisin' they is. It Attrax tn most Gullyble. They's lots of Re- formers ats Onnest enuff but they got Reform on tn Brane. Everything needs Reformin'. I was talking to wun of 'em tn other Day an he seZ 'at by his Efferts to make tn World Better by putin down Crupshun an Opresh- un he's only fittin' Hisself fer his More Ardyous work in his Fucher Life.

At Present they is too much Wun-man Power there. No dout God uses his Power and Wisem fer tn Best. but he don't Hafto. Tn Guvern- ment of Hevin is whats called Abslute Monnerky. They need a Comishun form of Government there. I'll try to interdoos also tn Nishative an Reffy rendum sos to Bring Hevin' up to a Level with Desmoines, Ioway, an
 
 Now" sez my Paw, Don't you un- derstand at I ain't in faver If no Re form atall fer sometimes they is Need ed, but in most Cases when l see some Reformers. that is the Vyrithin' Re 1 formers, at work I cant help but think !! of these here whaite Madgits which you see Twistin' and Turnin' around in piece of Diccomposed Meat
