year old white girl eloped with Greek and as in
the above case the Greek was responsible for the
waywardness of the girl. We do not share IN the

seen but it sounded good and in it's passage the
president is being thanked and congratulated by
a great majority of the newspapers of the coun

CONTROVERSY, which has been going the rounds of
the yellow journals for the past few weeks. In
special message to Congress he denied having any
