A certain class Of people whose
records invariably are tinged with
alblack coating. are always ready
to condemn and belittle not only
their fellow man, but also legiti.
mate enterprises. This especially
Is true with reference to the local
newspaper. The critic In question
never fails to exploit his petty
grievances at every opportunity,
and the more public the place he
can select the more he Is delighted.
We are Of the opinion that 1t
wouldn't take over an inch OF
space In any periodical to cause a
sudden reformation in the lives OF
these individuals by simply refer
ring to a brief history of their past
and present existence
