 at the meeting? A thing is never set- 

 tled until it's settled right, especially 

 if it's settled by a minority by under- 

 hand work. In a democracy the few 

 should not get benefits at the expense 

 of the many. Such a thing is inartis- 

 tic, unethical and immoral. In its final 

 analysis its effect is to burst the 

 eighth commandment. What did we 

 titiln and bleed and die for in 1776? 

 "Give us liberty or give us death."
