sound view it takes in the face of
the shameless lying-the dirty al

the mean aspersions cast on
respectable family. The Ameri-
can press has out Heroded Herod
in this whole affair.
I congratulate the management
on good work done. Enclosed is
check for $5.OO-part for subscrip-
ton one year-the rest for the
Chautauqua Circle. l am
Yours sincerely,
