rather than to take the trouble to
arrive at our own individual con-

an editorial, which may not be
based on the facts, to lead those
people who have adopted this lazy
habit, under the domination OF the
editorial writer and out Of the
class Of free-thinking, free-conclud-

"Then why pick out one day and

THE law OF the majority rules In

He was sharply challenged, how.
