It would, for instance, be quite logical to dwell on the iniquity and da-equity of rase being permitted to live so short a time when he has to be dead for a long afterwards. Which is absurd. The com- moutator is sometimes illogical owing to the exigencies of humbug. Politically, a good deal of humbug is inevitable and necessary. An inspired Japanese translator has called it "social glue." Criticism and comment, however, should have no track with it unless its motive be unachiaveliau, when it is no longer honest criticism and comment, but political propaganda, "pifle with a purpose", as ennie modern brightly put it.
