Editor Scott Bone continues to write
fascinating essays for publication in his
paper. 1t is remarkable in his old age how
well he keeps up his school boy work
Caytons Weekly.
If we were permitted to do so, we could
suggest a subject upon which Scott should
be amply qualified to write fascinating
essays" on: "Why has the P-I degener-
ated from the leading position in the daily
newspaper field in this state to the steenth
place under MI. Bone s management" Of
course we are not intimatng that Scott
isn't great editor, he is. He would shine
like a ''nigger's heel" on the Georgetown
