The town is wrong, the edlt^* Ir wrong, I he teachers are wrong, the people are wrong, the things they are doing are wrong and they arc doing them In the Wrong way anyhow. 1 believe I could llx things Is t hoy would let me. If they don't I will get a lot of others like myself and we will have a law passed to make others do things the way we want them done. I do not believe that the town ought to 'grow. It Is too big 'now. I believe In lighting every public improvement ami In spoiling everybody's pleasure. I am always to the front in opposing things and never yet have 1 advanced in Idea or supported a movement that would make people happier or add to I lie pleasure of man, woman or chiid. I am opposed to fun and am happiest it a funeral 1 believe lu starting re forms that will take all the joy out of life. It's n sad world and I am glad of it Amen.
