perhaps there's no harm in repeating
an old truth, and, come to think of
it, really that's about the biggest
crime anyone could commit, to quit
the quack newspapers for the quack
magazines. It's not only criminal, it's
foolish. What Barber ct al should
have done was to stick to the Quack
newspapers, even if the quack maya
zines could deliver the suckers
money quicker. Well, what's the use
of talking? Boys will be boys, and
it's quite natural for Jim Kelley and
the others to feel sore. They have
a grievance, and why should they not
air that grievance? And air it any
way they want to? Boys like to play,
that is, boys Of the nature of the
quack press publishers. They like to
play with double-leaded type, neat lit
tie first page boxes, scare heads and
so forth. It makes no difference who
they put in those boxes. Sometimes
it's politician who has insulted the
biggest boy of the lot. Well, the
boys get together and decide to give
this here pOhtlclan a dose OF double
lead. Or the biggest boy may play it
alone for awhile and call it scoop.
That's all right, too. Most of the

it is a scoop. But that little devil
