we travel the road of life, and as said
by a recent writer, “Man is not at
his best and most useful period in
Hie, until after he has reached the
age where unjust criticism fails to
urffle his disposition or to make him
deviate from the paths of honor and
right doing.” I am thankful that 1
have reached that age, but 1 am most

their own w^rds, which were written
before they took up the case of recall.
Alas! Too late for re-call were their
words of endorsement when written
in the General Presentments.
