The Cresset Daily fails to appear, not be-
cause the Beacon is printed at the FREE
Press Office, but that it might not divide
up the Reacon's patronage or in any way
antagonize the enterprise. This is so I'M
derstood by I'll who need to understand.
So says last weeks Cresset. Let us see,
The first issue of the Beacon came out on
Saturday. July 3lst. The Cresset of the
same day announced that the Daily Cresset
would appear on the Wednesday following
In itsissue of Aug. 9TH, it stated the issue
of its daily had been postponed, without
giving the reason. 1t seems to us the
Cresset is foremost among those "who
need to understand" As to the supposed
antagonism, it would have amounted tc
nothing save to the Cresset itself.
