who is also chairman OF The National
Press Committee:
Chairman Hirshberg has attended
strictly to business, as the present row
between Pickering and eilyerstone at
tests, and We can only commend the &C
ton Of Mr.. II. in sbaming the devil and
telling the truth. Ii the I. T. A. lives it
must study business methods; boy play
won't work much longer.

berg's column arises the old cry, "Sepa-
rate the insurance department from the
secretarys office" We supposed this
matter had been satisfactorily settled al
the last convention, and can't under
stand at his late day what all this hue
and cry Is about. There appears to be a
/ SeDigambian secreted in the wood pile
somewhere, aud We shall patiently await
the result Of the coBflagrs,ion.
