The Era correspondent seems to
have been hit by a recent item in
these columns'and has taken it very
much to heart as he heaps no end of
abuse on the writer. He shows him-
self a coward by misquoting thusly
"Prominent citizens containing
little sins and less logic." It was
plainly stated that his sketches of
prominent citizens contained little
sense and less logic as all who read
well know to be true. Perhaps we
have not spent eo long a time under
English training as the Era man
but likely know as much. We will
not stoop so low as to call John
names and use his abusive language
but we would kindly advise him to
stick more closely to his studios and
cease writing his funny little bio-
graphica.
