Public Opinion" Washington, d. c.
continues to excite our admiration. 1t is
a weekly exposition of the expressions OF
the leading journals ofthe day on current
topics. In a nutshell, it gives us the
thought of about all journalism of promi-

lie Opiniono is unique. There are two
features which it may be we'll to touch

ments and editorial opinions, as well as
magazine articles, are reprinted in the
original forn. They are not rewritten.
and they are therefore free from any taipt
of prejudicial editing. The Editorial
Summaries have been compared to the
spinning of flax; great mass of un-
organized matter is put through simple
