CHEAP BIBLES FOR SALE.

To the Editor:
noticed that the San Antonio
school board at its last meeting or
dered the Bible read in the public
schools and wants $50 versions Ct the
Pible by St. James. Now. Mr.. Edi-
tor, we do not see why the school
board should only take the ST. James
version Of the Bible while we have
two other versions of the Bible to sell
that are so much better. SO much
truer and SO much more reliable than
the st. James version. We have the
Catholic version and the Jewish YER
sion for sale. Mr.. Editor. we can
sell either version so much cheaper
than the st. James version. Now. Mr..
Editor, don't you think the school
board that was elected on an economy
promise should use Jewish and Cath
Ollie versions of the Bible? Besides.
we allow 10 per cent discount for cash
and besides We are taxpayers, too,
just the same rs the Protestant.

plain why newspaper cannot print
rumors. Who gets the first intima-
ton of a rumor? l can assure you,
even il you are not aware Of 1t, that
newspapers generally do--if they are
live newspapers. But surely not all
rumors dissipate into nothingness.
Some are founded upon facts. What
happens in that case? Silence.

power is unlimited. 1t can break OF
