you're all wrong These words are spoken
generally without any reflection on their

consider that they are based on false
premises and are inevitably pcrnicious in
practice. This week a gentleman at Port

was informed that the cashier of an Els

the loss of money was nearly the same in
each case Yet no sane person would say
truthfully that he would be - willing to oc-
