EThc New York Etening Post, the lead.

or indirectly, have escaped the

The latest shot is at tho private charac.
ter of Postmaster General Wanamaker.
Unable to create q prejudice against his

able plan OF attempting to inspire dis.

Last Sunday, at q Sunday school dedi.

maker used the following language,
which the Pos. charges is hypocri,ical :

who ties himself to God for the uplift.

Mr.. Wanamaker has not been long in
politics, and durin: his priei career az
member OF the Executive family his
acts have always been consistent with
his professions and in accordance
with the high sentiments expressed in
the above paragraph. When the Post

THERE is more catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurablc. For n
great many years doctors pronounced it
II local disease, and prescribed local REM
edles, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
+. J. Cheney 4 Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from ten
drops to u teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces OF
the system. They offer ono hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send

A SERIOUS obstacle in tho way OF q
successful conference between the En-.
pcror OF Germany and the Gar OF Rus.
sia has arisen. The Kaiser refuses TO
converse in French, and asks the Gar
to use the German language. The Nus'
sian monarch refuses to do this, AID
says lo will make use OF his mother
tongue, which the German ruler does
not understand. II is probable that q

WHAT TIE PAPERS SAY.
40 New York Times says:

Tho New York Times says:
"Only those who are ignorant Of the
great advances that have been made in
dictionaries are likely to buy this reprint
at any price,"
The American Bookseller OF n. Y, Gays:
"The ctymologies arc utterly mislead-
ing, and naturally so; for when the Web.
ste. of 1917 was issued Comparative
Phiiotogy was in It's cradle. The defni.
tons are imperfect, requiring condensa.
ton, Encouragement and additions. The
vocabulary Is defective, some OF the com.
moncst words OF to-day, especially scien.
tilic terms, for which dictionary is most
often consulted, being entirely absent.
In not one OF these three prime requi.
sites OF II dictionary is the Webster
reprint trustworthy guide, or, rather,
it is a misleading one. This
reprint is not intended for intelligent
men. 1t Is made expressly to be ioisted
by all the arts OF the book canvasser on
those who have been precludcd from Il
knowledge OF what developments lexi.
geography has undergone during the last
iorty.two years. This is the cruelest feat
IRE OF this morey.,nakiuy enterprise"
The Buffalo Christian Advocate says:
"DoN'r he DurED. Thousands are, or

will be likely aiterward to regret, they
will do so after being duly notified"
The Journal Of Education, Boston, says:
Teachers cannot be too careful not to
be imposed on. aimee the very things
which make dictionary valuable in
school are wanting in this old.time re-.
print. Any hish.school dictionary
which can be purchased for 4 dollar and
fifty cents is worth more for school use
than this" .lia
Many other prominent journals speak
in similar terms, and legitimate publish.

this attempt to ioist an obsolete book on
the public.
