Editors The Sun: The editorial in your issue of June 25 entitled "La Follette" is one of the best I have read on the death of that great statesman. .The Sun, as I well know, denounced Senator La Follette bitterly during the Presidential campaign, yet your newspaper is big enough and broad enough to say after his death that "it would be neither fitting nor honest for those who criticized and disagreed sharply with his stand on great political questions to cover his memory with eulogy now. He never asked quarter nor gave it and he would have preferred to go to his long rest in that same spirit. ... He did not court companionship, he made no effort to make friends and he died with his face to his foes." I want to thank you for your fairness, and at the same tjme to assure you that I consider The Sun's editorial page a most excellent one. Very truly yours, Wm. T. Russell.

The Cost and Accounting got a start in the sixth and came home with two runs, and then found another in the eighth, but it was too late. A score of six to three, is too big a margin to dispute a victory on. Everybody was a good sport which helps make the game more enjoyable for tho spectators as well as the players.

Editors The Sun: The editorial in your issue of June 25 entitled "La Follette" is one of the best I have read on the death of that great statesman. .The Sun, as I well know, denounced Senator La Follette bitterly during the Presidential campaign, yet your newspaper is big enough and broad enough to say after his death that "it would be neither fitting nor honest for those who criticized and disagreed sharply with his stand on great political questions to cover his memory with eulogy now. He never asked quarter nor gave it and he would have preferred to go to his long rest in that same spirit. ... He did not court companionship, he made no effort to make friends and he died with his face to his foes." I want to thank you for your fairness, and at the same tjme to assure you that I consider The Sun's editorial page a most excellent one. Very truly yours, Wm. T. Russell.

The Cost and Accounting got a start in the sixth and came home with two runs, and then found another in the eighth, but it was too late. A score of six to three, is too big a margin to dispute a victory on. Everybody was a good sport which helps make the game more enjoyable for tho spectators as well as the players.
