OF credit was given to any of them.
II our contemporary had have given
proper credit to the article his read
ers would have been at loss to know
why he at one time pronounced the
editor OF The Seattle Republican an
lgnoramus and few weeks thereafter
copied editorials by the score from
him, and for that reason the editor of

giving the Seattle Republican credit
for the clippings therefrom.

for it if it can be done Perhaps you
will want a stopover. We will ar
