1t was good of Mr.. Wynkoop to give
the readers of the CITIZEN the benefit of
his learned reply to Bernard Shaw. AS
awriter of shocking indecencies Shaw is
success. But to treating him as n
serious minded critic is to accord him
an honor not his due. In his reference
to Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.. Wynkoop shows
strange lack of discrimination of sim
htudes in comparing this powerful per-
sonallty to wart or even a fragile
flower. In history President Roosevelt
will rank with the great Jefferson, and
Mr.. Wynkoop, in casting his aspersions
upon him reflects seriously upon himself
as it is well known fact that the law
abiding citizen has nothing but accli-
nations of praise for the President.
A number OF persons, including the
writer, have been afflicted with what
Ebert Hubbard calls "disgraceful sick

be afflicted with boils. The hot water
bath is the next best kind to the Tur-
kish bath.
