...this. When they have the exclusive right to their courts only after four o'clock and even then anyone else can use them in the absence of the owners, they think all has been conceded that the non-holders can justly claim. If the association will wait a little longer, it will come into possession of all the courts without resorting to violent measures...

These we would urge to sign at once, as only about half the required number of names has been obtained, and every man who can go should hesitate no longer in putting down his name. Surely there are fifty men in the class who possess sufficient class feeling to make the question of a dinner no longer a matter of doubt...
