Every problem of our civilization must
be met by the generation now in train

cannot cut one cent which goes to
the old soldiers. The states unfortu-

turn things round and shift the bur-

and to equalize taxes. We are in d
contagion Of crime and it must be
checked by enforcement of law with.

people are the masters and the officers
