along the same line, is planned on its high
standard of special comment:

newspaper conducted by Mr.. J. Benson Oder

its columns with his comment on current
events.

land CoHrier permits anyone to speak for
him. He is amply able to do that for
himself. But in noticing the JOURNAL
anniversary it quotes its eloquent neigh
Dor, the NrTS, saying
There is nothing to add.
