To make matters worse he remarks that
"Inls lhis objection or non-objection to such
protest against laxity in administration is
matter which depends much on the Judge
who administers the law" Now, what does he
mean by thatf Why should his objection to
| protest against laxity'' depend on the Judpe
who administers? Does he mean that if the
| Judge who administers laxly were Catholic
i he would object to protest against such ad-
! And will he kindly inform us wherein his
! oolecuon or non-obJection to protest is ''like
purity in politics.? Indeed, for reply which
/ comes from one who claims ususual skill in
| the use OF English for the expression OF ideas
his remarks are certainly queer.
