Yes. indeed. If an editor ever underkos

rticular individuals or cliques, he's a
ner. Or if lie allows the opinions of
y other man to shape his course, to llio
elusion of what may meet his own apobation,
public confidence is forfeited.?s

just the way to displease everybody,

Kach man selects a tree near his

lioio in each circle to admit his arms,
