Let rs thank Lincoln, but we need TO

When Hartman raised a corruption

exercise due vigilance at all times and
we can not expect the Lodges to do
more than discourse eloqueatly at
funerals-they are not TO be found
on the right side till the battle has
been won as we'll as fought AS for
us We have no fear that wealth will
0verturn our liberties even when Hon
est John Waaamaker and Hanna and
Hartman make presidents for us and

exchange votes for dollars Because
we know that when the corruption

learn something from experience. We
have been saved so many times only
TO need salvation again that we are
inclined to believe real reform can
Only come ahen. we desire % save
