SO
WHO IS IT?
WWs rnnnincr the town down
Who's robbing the town of the
crood name "it has cherished
lone: its people-are the most un
sophisticated and the most moral
of any town its size on the globe
Who's helping to make life mis
erable ? Who's becoming ' 'a reg
ular rounder?" Who's defaming
our social life? Who's lowering
the social standard of our town
Who's taking Drivileores that
rightly belongs to them, but in
doing so, their actions reflect up
on the good name of our town?
(Good name in man or woman
Is the immediate jewel of their
souls .
Who steals the peoples money or
purse steals trash; it is some
thing, nothing;
It was ours, it is yours, and has
been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from the town
people their good name
Robs them of that which not en
riches him
And makes us poor indeed.)
(Apologies to Shakespeare)
