A HOPELESS CASE
' I "MIK Xcws in its last issue displays even a
more liijrotetl I i -1 i t i m covered over
with a thick layer of that green-eyed material
than any that has heretofore dominated its nar
row characteristic. The only sensihle tendency
displayed in the whole matter was the author's
shame to display Ids .stupidity on a page where
any one could see it.
The narrow-minded Jargon is so baneful ly
Stupid that he quotes I'rom the Post and states
unequivocally that the words are meatitnoeM.
A paper that can lie about its market reports
when the undisputed evidence of the falsity
is at hand is qualified tor any emergency. The
readers of the POBT are an intelligent class of
people, and we prefer to let them judge whether
the News is right in designating our words as
meaningless. Here is our expression that star
tlers the A i trx :
" The Newe must think that the readers are a
set of ignorant tools to accept such incongruous
deductions from the premises given."
The truth of the matter is that the word
mean too much reality for the scanty cerebellum
about the Aewa office to comprehend.
Another matter which comes to un-nerve hi
scauty htore is the tact that the Post is edited bv
a college man, who has been granted, in course.
the degree of Master of Arts, by a lawfully
chartered institution of high standin .
In this enlightened age the Post did not deem
it necessary to explain the meaning of such a
degree, more especially to a contemporary. The
degree of Master of Arts is nothing to boast of
ami no intelligent person reading the Post will
ever lie able to impute to the PoSTany such mo
tives. The diploma conferring the degree is
signed by all the members of the faculty ofBuck-
nell University, who submitted the writer to
