The printing of a circular letter of this specific nature was not, in our opinion, a violation of privacy; but the question of taste involved in its publication was com- plicated by the editor's insulting comment, and by the peculiar sense of humor which led him to suggest a supplementary list of collaborators somewhat unhappy in the juxtaposition of honored names with notorious ones. The Rev. Mr. Brady replied with a communication in which “newspaper blackguardism” and ‘“scoundrelly con- duct” are among the characterizations of the editor’s action. He believes that unless the letter (addressed ‘My Dear Madam:”) was obtained surreptitiously, it fastens “a y ugly action” on one of three distin- guished ladies whom Mr. Brady does not hesitate to drag into publicity. One of these ladies has explained her innocence in the matter, and has expressed her opinion of Mr. Brady’s quest as “irreverent,” and her regret that his gréat sense of delicacy did not carry him a bit further in his search for a culprit. The other two, at last accounts, were still under suspicion. It will be seen that the pursuit of Christian ideals (even in the season of good- will to men) is attended with difficulties, and that a modern Diogenes looking for a gentleman is apt to run up against an editor looking for a picturesque topic. We regret to sec that the personalities no longer considered good form by the daily press have been adopted in quarters where re- flection has time to cool. Meanwhile, our cry is for a socially ethical Daniel come to judgment. In the delicately balanced case of Brady vs. Collier’s, or vice versa, we feel ourselves incompetent to deliver the award. HEN the foreign missionary had conclu- ded his talk, he made the usual appeal for contributions, however small. Coming up to the. platform with several others, a small boy mounted to the level of the lecturer and hastening toward him, said, “Please, sir, I was very much interested in your lecture, and —and"— “Go on, my little man,” said the mission- ary, encouragingly. “You want to help in the good work? “Not exactly, sir,” said the boy. ‘What I want to know is, have you any foreign stamps you don't want?”—Argonaut. ‘The Trans-Siberian train de luxe is a new thing in Round the World Tours. of exclusive party.
