ed over the way its reading matter Is
stolen and reprinted without credit
But 1t feels sorry that the able editors

reaches Its readers at least twenty.
four hours earlier than the principal
purlOiners, the thefts are easily recog.
nized.

press cannot hide the truth from the
people. Little by little they will learn
the facts, and when they do wals up,
you will hear On explosion.
