And, if not, why not? The noisiest political farmer has the tallest weeds in his cornfield and the fewest potatoes in his hills. Talk about falltng fruit lops Kentucky says she's got the brandy, and California has contracted to ship her the peaches. Georgia has a convict named For tune Buster. However, he is in for swiping a pig, so cannot be classed as a bigh financier. A New York magistrate declares that crime has become a business and justice a mockery in that city, and as usual Chicago may declare that it goes Gotham one better. It is one of the curiosities of humnar nature that the man who regards the lawless workingman as the typica trades unionist refuses to regar( the delaulting banker as the typica financier.

If he says a good word for ~ his town, this "'brainless wonder" can aulways see a sinister motive in his C article. But my, my, wha', a chiame: Ieon t his wonderful "what is it?" is. Let the editor say what he thinks, honestly, and what the citiz,ens truly ~ know of the town and1 her people,anl r what a bowvl goes forth. He can see nothing :in anything, hiR sight is -dimmed and his judgment is warped.
