and how we love to crate and to

how glorious, how grand!
Unity is glorious and grand if
it has glorious and grand pur-
pose. It is mean and devilish if
its purpose is low and base.
For any group or set of men to
unite against a person for his
destruction who refuses to SUD-

unite to promote a selfish scheme
or to destroy men is satanic. We
do not need to plead for unity

those Of their class to aid them
In killing of somebody that they
could not control. Do We want
that kind Of unity?
