about it. 1t has expanded. The

not much larger than a sheet Of
square letter paper, and TO look at
its ample dimensions now, there is
no denying the expansion side OF
the question. but ! cannot pat my
self IN the place of the person that
interrupted one Of the campaign
speakers out In Kansas and say, 81
am sorry 10 see you OH the side Of
expansion" II l did you might
retort and say with that speaker,
81 am sorry to see you at all" 1t
is a fine thing 10 see a paper ex:
pand and keep on expanding until
it is power that makes itself
known and felt for the good OF all,
and this is just what The st. Tam.

it comes out in a neat folio, that il
