About the same period Horace Greeley
became notorious for his utterance in

purging itself of the indecency of
personal abuse. With few exceptions
our really great newspapers now resort
to argument rather than invective and
the result Is being felt in the communi.

Such abusive articles are read with
satisfaction by rival politicians when
directed against their opponents, but
really injure. sny cause which they are
brought forward to sustain. Disgust at
this reprehensive style of attack does
not make friends among those who want
