The Present Age Inherits the
Progress and Civilization
of the Past
The children are better for the patriotism of
their fathers and brothers, for the upheaval of
the citizens and taxpayers to support the claims
of the intelligent school teachers for a living
wage, for the new laws of the State emptying the'
jails and Houses of Correction.
Often an entire generation passes away
before reforms can be accomplished. ,
Astronomers tell us that some light is a
thousand years in coming to the earth.
We are now realizing an inheritance of the
martyrdom sacrifices, declarations and pledges
of our forefathers, which were given far back in
the dim past of human history.
Let us all avail ourselves of the new .lights,
long a-coming, that have begun to shine upon
our City and State.
