DR.. Crane, the noted Chi

world has becom afflicted
with a sort Of St. Vitus dance
and that calm and sane coun-
sci are being supplanted by
rashness and hysteria. He
cites the bitter war in the
old world and many manifes-
tations of it in America, the
greatest being the increasing
number of papers and tracts
that have no other mission
than the attack on a certain
creed. These papers are
poorly printed, have no in
tegrity, moral or financial,
are lacking in talent and in
accuracy, besides doing a
grave wrong to grammar and
syntax. Yet each and all
have attained a tremendous
circulation and SO prosper

sion inevitable that they are
popular and are given aid

the salacious sex-dramas that

this condition that one hears
