cross-bars of our lamp-posts. To quote
the words of Mr.. Newton: Naturally

country desired to show where he stood
by the display of his country's colors,
but he soon discovered that a 100 per

men. They are incapable Of shame. in
capable of remorse. and as long as
their greed of gain is being satisfied
they are happy as pigs in clover.
