Dear Mr.. Editor.
Is it not surprising and refec-

out Of, this paUper community
One, the oldest, is Of course only the
official paper for kilograms rtc., es-

The next, has the pen in one hand and a
glove or brass knuckIes in the other,

The third is so grandiIoquent that its

any perception of a Void.
The fourth, the youngest. and strange
enough for a youngster, is moder-

Still, neither of them has the courage

attitude on public questions. In any
event, inquirers of the presidential at
titude ON specific matters were re-
ferred today to these speeches and
papers.
He made no direct reference to the
various Charges of evasion against
him by his opponents, John w. Davis

will be allowed to go unanswered SO
