EDITORIAL 



This magazine has been moving to a new and more spac- 

 ious location and the attendant confusion of such an event, to- 

 gether with much added labor, has retarded this number some- 

 what. However, in the region where the magazine is issued, 

 spring seems to have been retarded nearly as much, and though, 

 according to the calendar, it is no longer May as this is written, 

 according to the temperature it is not yet June. Our endeavor, 

 had always been to make the magazine fit the season as far as 

 possible, and we see no impropriety in dating this number for 

 May until the temperature takes on more of a summer charac- 

 ter. It is quite against our principles to catch up by the easy 

 method of doubling up on the numbers, and our subscribers 

 may expect four issues as usual, though perhaps the next one 

 will be slightly delayed.

The migration to our new location seemed to offer a good 

 opportunity for disposing of our accumulation of back numbers 

 and we accordingly sold all of them to a dealer in waste paper. 

 With the exception of a few complete sets of the magazine, 

 which we have in stock, there is now not a single back number 

 or back volume to be had. Those who have complete files 'will 

 appreciate the fact that the destruction of the back numbers has 

 greatly increased the value of their own copies but prospective 

 purchasers of the few remaining files may be assured that at 

 present we do not contemplate a further advance by manipulat- 

 ing things after the manner of a certain book agent, named 

 Sibyl, who tried to sell a set of future histories to the Hon.
