You know where most Of those

The same things that caused
the Spanish revolt would cause
a revolt in any nation: in the

The majority of American
workmen do not want charity or

A too long and extended
period Of unemployment, in a
land of plenty, may prove fatal
to democratic principles and
ideals.
Every effort should be made
to solve employment, by the city,

I am grieved greatly over the

charges.
