...colleges, uttered the Pharasaical "Ah, ha!" Papers of which the past existence and actions had been anything but religious, caught the infection and sneered at that of which they knew nothing, and having used their war-worn phrases, passed them on to the Bungtown Clarion and sheets of a like stamp which flourish on the plains of Texas.

Sensationalism, the great enricher of reporters nowadays, starts on their evil missions almost no end of exaggerated and wholly false statements, and these statements somehow find their way into almost every paper in the country. It is at least courteous that those who have so eagerly published elaborate reports, should be as eager to publish denials of them, especially if undenied, they...
