Pay Your Debts, Pay For Your Paper like a Man
Now Mr. Politician, you men who know everything and know what is going to happen, you men who know everything and all about everybody's business, suppose you take a tip. To learn more about your business and less about your neighbor's, don't you think it will help greatly? Then too, does it ever dawn on you to try and be more a friend, yea, a friend rather than a knocking-back-friend, someone who has never found an opportunity to speak of. How does it sound to you to learn to pay your debts? Does that sound nice to your ears? Have you ever thought of paying your debts? Did you ever subscribe for a man's paper, read it after many years and then not pay for it? Isn't it a sin?
