1NOTIIEE B LOW FOR TALE.
 The Register is true blue. There's no doubt about that. It's great heart beats steadily and warmly for Yale. And we doubt not that if that great heart were put under the all-revealing x rays it would be found marked thus in large blue letters: YALE"
 The Register being so truly blue it is not at all surprising to find in it's last issue some statements of fact concern ing the object of it's fervent and stable love For instance, we read that "a person" has ventured to make poor joke about Yale. Just so. And Of course this is wrong. Jokes about Yale should be good. They should be at least as good as the jokes which the Register and Yale professors have been making about the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company.
 We further read that it is not easy to believe that "a person filled with the love of truth and free from the demor- alizing stimulant of strong liquors" could have deliberately made such a poor joke. True for you again, dear young friend and neighbor. It is no easier to believe than it is to believe that Yale students filled with the love of truth and free from the demoralizing stimulant of strong liquors are as inno- cent as they are when arrested and brought before the City court,
 The Register says that ''it is never theless true that the outside newspa- pers have first and a chattel mort gage on all charges, intimations and insinuations affecting the scholarship of Yale'' This is more than true. It is .nevertheless true And although we don't know exactly what 1t means. we know it is all right, because it is writ ten in the Yale English that helps to make the Register so lucid and force full
 Dense ignorance" and ''insolent sus- picion" are the chief items in the make up of ia person" who criticises the glo- rious Yale spirit or the equally glorious and now completely clothed Yale body. l Of course, of course. "A person" who ! would venture on such criticism must ,o axyay, ,,,ora ssJapcalx, iorroroptD and | '.insolently suspicious than was the Yale senior, who, after having the ben eft of Yale teaching and training for
 almost four years, was yet densely ig-
 norant and insolently suspicious enough l to recently hit the Yale spirit and the
 Yale body a whack which still re-
 sounds. If such ignorance and suspi-
 cion can be revealed by a carefully taught and trained Yale senior what
 must be the quality of the ignorance
 and suspicion shown by "a person" who
 does anything like what the person
 told of in the Register has done? There is no excuse for ones not
 knowing the true condition of Yale character and Yale progress" No, mo- no! Not even if one is "a person." Is
 not their true condition amply and modestly set forth at the alumni din-
 ners, in the Register, and wherever Yale men talk for publication? And is
 not anybody who does not join in the chorus Q liar, a villain, a horse thief
 and "a persona" Why certainly.
 The Register is just right and all right, as usual. But why does it head
 an article so full of solid and impress
 sive truth with a misleading title:
 Another Blow at Yale" is not a cor
 rect indication of the ''innards'' of the
 article. Another Blow for Yale" would fill the bill
