CONSIDERABLE discussion is taking place just at

by him to syndicate of papers We that all admit
that there much good stuff in what Mr. Brisbane
In the breath might say that aid of them find
much to criticize Right here want remark that

in the United States He either his job quit il
account of his unwngness to write things which he
did not believe No of independent thought

writing in opinion is to tell the truth
And believe Arthur Brisbane does that.
