unsafety for those who invest their means."
This is not the kind of work that should be
placed before those who have the utmost
confidence in the men bearing responsibility,
supposing them to be faithful, intelligent guardians
of the people. Many things will be managed after
this same order unless a reorganization shall take
place.
