Against any other standard bearer OF

THE NEW HAVEN AFFAIR.

criminality under the statute is
brought To book in the courts.
The New Haven case is a good one to
use for the exemplary purpose of put
ting an end once for all to that type
Of company control and financial ex-
ploitation in America-it ought TO be
made far too dangerous to be tempting
for gentlemen whose chief conception

Of gencralitics or some fellow will get

Few people like truth, even in homeo-

But while preachers and editors are
criticized for what they do say. no one
thinks of giving them credit for what
they do not say. Yet what they keep
to themselves constitutes the major
portion of what they know about peo-
pie.
Very many people harbor the belief
that newspapers are eager To publish
derogatory things. It's mistake.
There isn't a newspaper that could not

at any time by merely telling what it

does not keep under the lock of secrecy
