West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1885-11-04
Smoked him Out.

The Lincoln Clipper, we hope
unwittingly, advertises most vii
famous publication, which, because
of indecency, is not allowed to cir
culate in many States, and ought
to be suppressed by the West Vir-
ginia authorities. We are sorry
the Clipper does so.-FREEMAN.
Please explain; we are so stupid
we fail to see the point.-Clipper.
Procure and examine a copy of
the Police Gazette, which you adver-
tise, and you'll see the point
FREEMAN.
Now, Mr.. FREEMAN, we will tell
you in very few words what we
know about the Police Gazette. In
the first place we read the Gazette
whenever we feel like doing so,
and in the second place we can
prove that the columns of the Ga
zette are just as clean as those of the
FREEMAN. Did you ever read a
copy of the Gazette? We doubt it
very much, from the fact that you
are too much of a fanatic to read
anything that tends to strengthen
the brain, that is if we judge by
the makeup of the FREEMAN. My
friend, we are greatly Of the opin-
ion that by the time you get done
growing for Temperance in West
Virginia you will have your hands
full without poking your lip into
everything that appears in print.
We close by informing you and
every other editor, that we intend
to advertise what we think appears
to our mind proper, without con-
sulting any one.-Clipper,
We Smoked him OUT as we
knew we would. "Open confession
is good for the SOUL" and no one
will question the Clipper Editors
declaration that he reads the Police
Gazette, after reading the above.
We are glad the Clipper was fair
enough to give its readers the
wholesome rebuke we administered
in the interest of pure literature.
The Police Gazette is a shameless
ly sensational and indecent sheet,
if the Clipper does "think that it
appears to its mind proper"
