Fictitious names may be used with
impunity until next October

try it, and / will undertake to assure
them. eventually. a summons to appear

Prof. Miller has utilized the
calm which has followed the stress
and storm of Brownsville for an
intelligent and dispassionate con-
sideration of the entire question.
His diagnosis of the presidential
character is skilfully done and it
is quite plain that whatever of CEN
sure may be inferred from the ar
ticle, as due the Executive in the
matter of Brownsville, has been
earned through his elimination of
the usual mental processes in de-
termining the right or wrong of
the case and the hasty resolution
to punish SO swiftly and seriously
as efectually to deter others from
any similar alleged offense.
The Prof. tersely sets forth this
idea in the following words: HE
