New York Sun has been giving several
columns of its space to letters from
business men and others. protesting
against the continuation of the war

gests that these letters should be re-
printed as an appendix to new vol

reading of these letters is an educa-

cles printed in The Tribune. We should

that 1t would be we'll for the people
to know that all the argument is not
one way.

his head in these troublous times and
the newspaper which has kept its feet

most natural thing to go with the mob;
