A Monument to Satan.

The man who erected a monument to Satan in Detroit did not need to do it or to defend it after he had done it; he is himself a better monument. The good people of Detroit will make more Satan-worshipers by trying to tear it down than to let it stand. It will thereby preach its builder's folly. At any rate, before they destroy the poor insensate pile, let them purify their city from many of the evil things in it that are vicious and illegal. They will never by force convert the poor insane man who erects the evidence of his monstrous fealty: he is at least honest. There are many monuments to Satan all over this land which are professedly otherwise. Really, reader, what would you name the thousands of body-wrecking, mind-wrecking, soul-wrecking saloons?
