ANONYMOUS LETTERa-Tbcre is one
form of cpstlc frequently received IN al
newspaper Offices to which, bcsidesa cur
sory glance and toss into the waste has
ket, no further thought is ever given. i
these letters, which usually come signet
"A Reader Truth, or perhaps by the Ills
honestly assumed title Of some organiza
ton, are full of petty spite, unmcritcd per
sonal abuse. insinuationS inuendocs, hints
vitupcrations, threats and stage fury, they
IRE apt to provoke laugh or an impa
ticnt grimace, according to the mood o
the recipient, but beyond th.s-nolhng
An anonymous letter intended for pubica
ton may be, if it finds its way into print
either contcmptibly ridiculous or coward|y
and mean Consigned to the waste baske
il can be neither; and such is the fate of al
such letters which come to the CLARION
even when their pecullarties of handwrit
ing disclose their authorship. The ind
vdual who pens abusive letters and sends
them to this Office anonymously Is s'mp,
| wasting time, ink, paper, postage and, let
us hope, is sacrificing self-respcct.
