At the morning meeting 10 Cooper Union
yesterday Mr.. Moody went back 10 the Sun
day newspaper question. He said he was glad
tina: the newspa oers had printed what he had
to say about the Sunday newspapers.

pose they will go for me in their editorials.

that have been writing for the Sunday pa

per. | was asked last night by one of the re-
po-ters who wanted to get some Christmas
greeting from me for his paper, and l said,
Not a line and | wouldn't write a line.
zone reason they give for a Sunday paper is
that it is made. up.durinGsthe week. Well, l
know that there are 100000 men and boys sell
ing. papers on Sunday. l want to say that
ninc-teuths OF. the sunday paper is got up dur

on the sabbath. except to-Eet in the late news.
Now | ask. why cannot the Monday paper be
got up the same way, and tho work done on
Saturday. The advertising for Monday Is put

lister who would not supply his Sunday manu-
srript on Saturday.. 1t could be done, and
then this Sabbath work would DO done way
