I believe that nothing is right. 
I believe that everthing is wrong. 
I believe that I alone have the right 
idea. The town is wrong, ihe 
editor is wrong, the teachers are 
wrong, the people are wrong, the 
things they are doing are wrong 
and they are doing them in the 
wrong. way anyhow. I believe I 
could fix things if they would let 
me. If they don’t I will get a lot 
of other fellows like myself and we 
will have a law passed to make 
others do thinks the way WE waat 
them done. , 
I do not belive that the town 
ought to grow. It is too big now. 
I believe in fighting every public 
improvement and in spoiling every- 
body’s pleasure. I> am always to~ 3 
the front in opposing things and 
never yet have I advanced an idea #% 
or supported a movement 
would ‘make people happier or add
