come under my notice. The explanation made is
very appropriate, and justified entirely by the
nature OF the article which has been read. II

and activity which stimulate newspaper men to
get readable articles or sell their papers or attract
attention they are too much disposed TO say

the press would observe the

and the interests involved seem to require, aud
wait until the case Is disposed or and then II they
have any comments To make they would come very
appropriately and do no harm.
