Hut ' after all," he adds, "this Is not a nltiilsin on iiif ncwspapcis but on our people. Things aie not pi luted which people do not want. If biicli tilings did not quit ken .sales they would not be manufactured In that htylc. it might be well to give some thought to this and to contemplate this along with our ini thud of admlnlstetlng justice by the dlscilmlnating aid of a mob, befoie we undeitake the lunillcntlun of the woild and the civilization of other Innds It mnv be that after we have eeaed to enjoy pi orient details of cihne nnd have become content with Justice ndmlnlsteied under tho law of the land we would have a greater lulluente over the woild ut laige as well as over Tur key and Spain." Tho point Is ceitalnly well taken.

It Is possible that congicfcs may divide this limit by thice.
