WE received a communication last
week, entitled an Essay on Wo-
man." which was not accompanied
by the real name of the author.
That, of itself, was enough to insure
it a strait shoot to the waste basket.
But, in addition, the article was a
clear plagiarism. A note informed
US that the writer would furnish us
other communications of a like char
acter, if acceptable. Not any,
thank you.
