But whatever dislocation there may be, is not, as has been assumed by the protagonists in the discussions, the kind that permanently warps the subject. One cannot help arriving at the conclusion that a good deal of powder has been wasted on what is truly a decoy duck
...like Judge Jr., or rather used to like him, for the original Judge Jr. is at present editing "Life" (Now 10 cents!--Advt.) instead of Judge, then you may like this collection of mixings they are gotten up in his same so-called collegiate manner which automatically rubs most normal people the wrong...
