1908, obscurity usually preferred. It should be noted that the aditorial and staff anonymity of conservative papers is a part of that, and not due to any lack of courage. By their fruits are they known, and nothing else is desirable. If the public forgets that every seritence must have had an individual utterer, and in that forgetfulness permits itself to attach more importance than it would to a signed expression of opinion, it is not because the fictitious importance is deliberately sought after. There are jour- nalists who take themselves too seriously. In such large and heterogeneous body that must be expected, but the worst troubles arise from the public disinclination to weigh and ponder matters for themselves Nowadays it is more than over obvious that An Elegant Preparation. Very Highly Re there is a great mass of matter written and printed which no thinker dreams of taking seriously. It should be taken only for what it is worth, and that is, for various reasons, not very much. There is less danger to be apprehended from the type of journalism which taken itself on grond séricus, provokes only a tolerant smile, or should do so, both in and out of the craft. Of such we are inclined to label the heroes of the recent crisis in the Press Gallery of the Reichstag where the reporters have
