have simply been misled from the
tact that large part of the original
article in the World is at this moment
growing yellower and mellower in
our scrap book where it was pasted
something like seven years ago. At
that time it was published in several
of the Idaho papers, and, among

are not again mistaken The extract
in our scrap book was also published
in the Chicago Tribune at that period,

opinions of the American people in
favor of peace in South Africa and
