A Mahommedan paper would no doubt have called it a result of the Nazarene religion, and a Thug paper an awful example of what happens when your politicians are not Thugs. A MOHAMMEDAN PAPER WOULD NO DOUBT HAVE CALLED IT A RESULT OF THE NAZARENE RELIGION AND A THUG PAPER AN AWFUL EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR POLITICIANS ARE NOT THUGS
 various small Irish free papers (and they are numerous), but also "The New Age" and the "New Witness": and so on, all through the questions that are of real and vital interest. But I only get my picture as a composite. The very same truth will be emphasized by different Free Papers for totally different motives. Take the Marconi case. The big official papers first boycotted it for months, and then told a pack of silly lies in support of the politicians. The Free Press gave one the truth but its various organs gave the truth for very different reasons and with very different impressions. To some of the Irish papers Marconi was a comic episode, "just what one expects of Westminster"; others dreaded it for fear it should lower the value of the Irish-owned Marconi shares. "The New Age" looked at it from quite another point of view than that of the "New Witness," and the specifically Socialist Free Press pointed it out as no more than an example of what happens under Capitalist Government. O IRELAND I NOT ONLY BUY THE VARIOUS SMALL IRISH FREE PAPERS AND THEY ARE NUMEROUS BUT ALSO THE NEW AGE AND THE NEW WITNESS AND SO ON ALL THROUGH THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE OF REAL AND VITAL INTEREST BUT I ONLY GET MY PICTURE AS A COMPOSITE THE VERY SAME TRUTH WILL BE EMPHASIZED BY DIFFERENT FREE PAPERS FOR TOTALLY DIFFERENT MOTIVES TAKE THE MARCONI CASE THE BIG OFFICIAL PAPERS FIRST BOY COTTED IT FOR MONTHS AND THEN TOLD A PACK OF SILLY LIES IN SUPPORT OF THE POLITICIANS THE FREE PRESS GAVE ONE THE TRUTH BUT ITS VARIOUS ORGANS GAVE THE TRUTH FOR VERY DIFFERENT REASONS AND WITH VERY DIFFERENT IMPRESSIONS TO SOME OF THE IRISH PAPERS MARCONI WAS A COMIC EPISODE JUST WHAT ONE EXPECTS AT WESTMINSTER OTHERS DREADED IT FOR FEAR IT SHOULD LOWER THE VALUE OF THE IRISH OWN MARCONI SHARES THE NEW AGE LOOKED AT IT FROM QUITE ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW THAN THAT OF THE NEW WITNESS AND THE SPECIFICALLY SOCIALIST FREE PRESS POINTED IT OUT AS NO MORE THAN AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAPPENS UNDER CAPITALIST GOVERNMENT
