words the author declares thata Urge majority of the writers who

tho last two or threo decades have written

about our conditionHtato and municipal havo been afraid t

sUIte their honest convictionsamong them tho author admitswritten learnedly politely and knowinglj

but adds that they have been content tpaddle around startling truths as thoug

they were floating In a sea of harmlesselegant literature with their facts specialsandpapered wheeled so asto give offence to common offendersthe specially favored criminal closerwhoso backs deserve a lash fashioned oof the rawest possible hide If In thhistory of a nation the author prococjto My there over was a time when honand patriotic lovers of their countryto speak out and write out that timearrived In ourawhere the whole systeis rotten to tho core

While tho author suggests no practicalremedy for tho dreadful state of affahhe describes ho nevertheless declaresevery citizen who cares for decent
