In like the claims submarine

When within memory many who read these lines the
question of suffrage found public prints
public discussion, branded visionary impractical
public morals prediction freely made that

When the u s. Forestry service years
for the conservation of public lands were

When about forty years ago ad
the moral cleanliness of his
line of statewide prohibition of the liquor people looked
and smiled and declared him subject for the bugouse
Why such thing had heard could
