"Invsstieator" is hard to please. He was
"nauseatcd'' by the talk about State honor
few years ago. His honest stomach heaves
terribly now ct tho very thought of ''forcible

His regard for the States honor demands it.
Well, be it known to "Invss:igator" that the
"Farqaler solutions" (scolllsd, although not
