But Alas! Graft and greed, special
legislation and political corruption are
about to cause this nation’s downfall.
The Liberties of others are disregard­

for his own interest, that he has no
time to be his brother’s keeper.
On account of a poor, weak, help­

and asked for protection from those
who received her and told the editor
of this paper, through a sworn state­
ment, and because he was willing to
let others know, so they could help her
to escape death; some one hunted and
tried to kill her, even threw a stone
through the bath room window in
which she was bathing and cut a deep
gash so that before they could stop it

and sheets with blood.

thinks for himself, let others know, so

Can you not see in the near future
that we will be in bondage to Rome?
