The reign of tears is over. The slums will soon be only a memory. We will turn our prisons into factories and our jails into storehouses and comcribs. Men will walk upright now, women will smile, and the children will laugh. Hell will be forever for rent.

Some persons think they have to look like a hedgehog to be pious.

An excuse is a skin of a reason stuffed with a lie.

The saloon is a liar. It promises good cheer and sends sorrow.

Riches have never yet given anybody either peace or rest.

I am a temperance Republican down to my toes.

The man who votes for the saloon is pulling on the same rope with the devil, whether he knows it or not.
