The word narrow is a very common
term nowadays in use by people who
believe what they choose and when any
one else dares to challenge that belief,
the favorite weapon narrow is flung
at them. The man who does not agree
with the national administration methods
is narrow in the opinion of papseek~
ers and tipleservers. And yet no ad-

as often and as radically. The late

be narrow because he opposed Mr..
