POLITICAL DEFINITIONS SIR,—I submit that the time has come to

add a new word to our political vocabulary, the use of which may be illustrated by the follow- ing conjugation :

1 am an Astorite, Thou art a Witch Hunter, He, she or it is washing dirty linen in public. We are crusaders for truth, You are just jealous of the Establishment, They are worried about their circulation.

Yours faithfully,
