Of years the Alumni Association OF Seton

not believe in reformers as New York knows
the word. His little dig followed an utter
ance Of the POSTMASTER, the Rev. William
p. Cantwell, who said that he didn't take
much stock in reformers as q rule, but that
Mr.. Philbn represented their best type.
He didn't find II necessary to adopt

stuff about himself in the newspapers.
He went about quietly and honestly"
Mr.. Philbin responded jokinely that the
POSTMASTER took advantage of his post
to hit man while he was down. Then
he said that reformers were not successful
because other motives than the public
good often prompted their zeal.
