Reproductions foreign to the vital Indian cause were given precedence over "fighting" originality; and when the Wolf howled, he was summarily bounced by the Fox, who then assumed full control as both manager and editor. And all this under a Government of the people ($), by the people ($$) and for the people ($$$). He-mene Ka-wan: "Old Wolf". (L. V. McWhorter).
