what Mr.. Post had formerly said
about the DUPONT Powder Company
was true.
Any publisher, no matter how care
full he is, Will occasionally go wrong,
but there is no excuse for his stub
bornly sticking to the wrong, and
only saving his epidermis by graci-
ously allowing himself 10 be booted.
For. however anxious a publisher
may be TO send Truth out to catch
and choke to death Falsehood, he
finds he can not do it.

Once upon a time a peasant was
guilty Of defaming his neighbors,
spreading foul scandal concerning
them.
And behold there came a time when
he went to the parish priest in con-
fession. And after the peasant had
confessed, the priest, being a man
of wisdom, ordered the man to do
penance as follows
He was to take a live goose under
his arm and walk fve miles, and
every step he took he was to pluck
a feather from the goose and throw
il in the air The wind was high
and blowing hard. and the man start
ed out and did as he was ordered.
every step pulling a feather from
the goose and throwing il in the
air
And when he came back to the
home of the priest, the poor goose
was robbed of every feather. And the
peasant thought that this completed
/ the transaction. But the priest said:
MOI Not yet, Not yeti What You
must do now is TO go over that same
route, pick up every feather that you
| plucked and put it back in the goose
/ exactly as IL was before"

Hapgood succeeded in incOrporat-
! ing more falsehoods in single
article, by inference and suggestion,
than any modern tyro in the Ananias
art. From this time on Hapgood
goes into the professional class.
These articles are supposedly writ
ten by one Charles johnson Post"
The opinion seems to be that Charles
Johnson Post is another name for
Norman Hapgood.

This screaming screed on the al

Nothing more sensational could b.
imagined than that the United States
was to be blown to flinders by the triple

No other DUPONT is mentioned in IN
article save Henry a. dupont. Any on
who reads this article will at once com
to the conclusion that Henry A. duPon
is at the head of the deadly "Powde
Trust" That is the plain intent @
the whole article.
Here are two falsehoods told by IL
