Souueuse The Quotation Contest The Awards to the Successful i fee contest for thirty-five hundred dollars to be divided by Lire among the artists submitting the best illustra- tions of twelve quotations closed on the first of July. In the neighborhood of five hundred drawings were submitted in competition. Of these many were ex- cellent in conception but very badly executed. Many others were technically good but lacked point as illustrations of the idea. Many were deficient in both particulars.

A Declaration HEN, in the course of commercial events it scems expedient for OIL to loosen those piractical bonds which have heretofore united it with success, and reaffirm the innocence and purity of its motives, a decent respect for the feelings of OIL demands that it shall not be required to state the causes which impel it to such unwonted garrulity. We hold this truth to be self-evident: That nothing is equal to OIL, which is endowed by its creators with certain, in- alienable rights, the chief of which are sin, silence and security Evidence hath shown and experience, indeed, should dictate that OIL, however insufferable, cannot be abolished even by a long train of indictments and abuses, and that its tyranny long established and profitable is a good thing for OIL We, its disciples, in darkness assembled do therefore in the name of our profit piously declare that OIL has had, intends to have, and by right ought to have, free and independent rates! iy, pice comicbooks.com
