a,l,l make fnll confession Of what he knows
about tho whisky frnuds, and produce evil
ilouco duplicating Secretary nE1s7ow. Tho
Chicago Whisky 1hicrts' Organ now refers to
its Saturday article as "local nows article"
and says that it would have mntlo m cli-
toria1 statement discredting portion of it.
"llad tue lato hour at which it was obtained
permitted editorial comment" Now the
WAistt~ Thisres' Ofgan cannot hope to escape
the penalty of its recklcssness, aud perhaps ita
desperation, by an explanation 30 attenualca
and palpably false. The "locd news
article" was printed in large typo,
"loud1yr lealed. given tho first place

there WINS no nc1rs in it, bnt that 1t WIS pure
aud malicious invention from beginning to

wonld have been inserted without the knowl-
edge md sanction Of tho editor. It WAS not
so hastily prepared ns to prevent editorial
comment, because the article itself stated
that 1t had been prepared after consultation
with four prominent attorneys Ind been held.
Tho fact is that it wns q caln,, deliberate. md
