Just as there is pleasure in seeing vir-

satisfaction in seeing hypocrisy and
incompetence unmasked. 1t Is an oc-

powers of IL Swift or Juvenal. But

Why Bryant & May Yield
ed to Mr.. Barber.
London Leader Can't Let Go of the ConsoIida
ton Subject.

From the way London newspapers
are going on about the consolidation
of the Bryant & May Co. with the Dia-
mond Match Co the deal must have
stirred the whole country up. 1t is
also apparent that they have great re-
spect for the ability of Mr.. o. @. Bar
ber and never become tired of writing
about his superiority over Bryant &
May in the deliberations leading to the
consolidation. Under the head Of
want of Thought" the Morning Lea
der of London printed the following:
EVIL is wrought by want of thought
as well as want of heart" So runs one
of the plausible little catchwords by
means of which Messrs. Bryant and
May, Limited, equipped with sancti-
monlous faces and dictionary of quo.
tntlons, preached better than
they knew. Want of thought has been
their undoing, and from their discom-
iiture the public and the Government
alike may, we think, learn a profitable
lesson. While they were busy distri.

Ohio Columbus Barber was doing
something else. He was thinking Sc
