...announcement that a new daily is to be started here does not alarm us in the least, for we think we can hold our own. But if the CRIMSON should be "run out of circulation," as the Advocate evidently desires, then we shall be content to admit the superiority of our rival and to take a back seat.

But I cannot agree with Mr. Parker, though I admit that his arguments are strong ones, and seem to be founded upon a more thorough study of Mr. Howells and his works than is usual with a living author at the present day. As a result of careful consideration the article is well worth a perusal...
