He gave a generous portion of his at :

that as m0ulders OF public opinion
they were falling far short. i'm his
opinion, of doing their part to drive
tho meanncss OF the city into The Blu.

Mankato forever.
His remedy for the monstrous
short -comings OF the universe and the
existing evils Of Mankato in parti-
cular. was a higher type Of Christian

TO apologize for his strong words was
that there were not more people who
