We heartily congratulate the Star upon
its unusual display of enterprise in yes
terday printing the story of the Bullock
jewel robbery at the Arlington Hotel
only ten days after the same had ap-
peared in The Times. The Star should
be careful not to forsake its conservatism
too quickly or radically. Having spent
years and money in cultivating a taste
for ancient history among its readers, il
might be dangerous to offend that taste
by getting on ordinary occasions as close
to local events as a ten-day range would
imply.

smoking 10 lynching and from that to
the duty of priests and the future of the
country, concluding with the announce
