The Tribane editor is in receipt of a letter from a reader in which this editor is accuse«! of being af fected with softening of th* brain While it is true that the t»aasagr of time has a<l<i« «l mor«* than the Bibli cal allotted number of years to our age and tha. an old time injury, aided by years of rheumatic »offer ing. has made us a permanent crip pie we ar«* vain enough to believe our think tank is yet unim|»aired Rut let us are Our correspondent’» caustic criti cism waa evidently inspired by our editorial in a recent issue of Th«- Tribune under the caption "The Labor Strike a Menace."
