would be JOY to what sort OF people In
this country Tell me the kind OF peo-
pie who would shout for Joy and then

would like to spend eternity with.
Show me their inner lives and their
records and will show you things
that would make angels In heaven

No local paper has the right TO send
abroad TO the Phillistines anything
about the conditions here until fair
show has been given. Decades OF evil

undertaken shadowing him IL he per-
sists in seeing and saying things even
II they are true.
But why is IL that little local
paper can knock town TO bits and
send data abroad that hurts a town,
data that belongs for time strictly to
the family circle? These papers were
well paid TO help in this fight while
men In the county worked hard with
out any compensation. Why do they
do IL? Why?
The great big papers hit evil hard
and trail II to the ground and gain the
thanks Of the people, There is no glory
In facing two ways In these mighty is

Now how are we TO go on to the full
or victory? Not by retreating or look
ing back but by individual enlistment
We should have the screens torn
from these soft drink saloons II nor by
law by ridicule
Places known as distinctly temper
