intimates that the professio Of icurnaliem
does not include among its numerous other
hon0rs the privilege of claiming Nj. Bar

iieting statements on tie subject but be-
iievs the weight OF authority is on the SIDE
OF the Times and against the REPUBLICANS
reporter. 4 case in which the question was
involved came up not long ago before Mr.

say. We hope our neighbor will accept this,
