NCH HOUSES. 33-l6w
Probably the most pitiable object
Outside of the penitentiary is H. j. Mil.
Ter, the criminal and penitentiary edi-
tor of the Luverne Herald. Notwith-
standing the fact that the Luverne
Times published him as having CON-
mitted "most revolving crime in so.
ciety," and he did not dare to resent
it or call the Times to account, he still
imagines that everybody at Luverne
admires him and looks upon him as a
fellow of gigantic intellect. This luna
cy so possesses him that he cannot tol-
crate any success, any praise, any re-
spect for any one else. Especially is
this the case when the editor of the
ADVANCE receives any appreciative
notice. This affects the criminal SEMI
lunatic as water does rabid dog or Il
red scarf does u Spanish bull. Mental
ly, he gnashes his teeth and dances
with rage every time good word is
said for the ADVANCE. After each of
the many friendly and appreciative no.
tices we receive. our criminal and pen.
itentiary contemporary breaks out with
a fresh batch of epithets, calling US ''lu-
natic," "imbecile," idiot" ''fool,"
anarchist. )" ''crank," ETC., and then,
as if to atone for this mad and lunatic
outburst, he coolly remarks on the
other page OF his paper that he "never
judulges in personal journalism. The
fool actually does this. and does not
seem to know that it is inconsistent
or that anybody notices it.
But Of all the maddening influences
upon this criminal, the publication of
| our volume of poems WAS the most ex-
asperating. This was the last ounce
that broke the string which held back
his jealousy, envy, spite and rage. lie
cond lnned the book before it appear
ed, and has hated us ever since with
all the malignant hatred of i dirty, lit
tie, mean, sOrdid, dishonest, criminal,
semi lu!atic soul. No name is too vile
for this dirty penitentiary candidate to
apply to us through his dishonest.
bribe-takiDg sheet. And he keeps it
up with never.wearying malignancy
and unceasing iteration and re-itera-
ton.
In his last issue he raves again, and
denounces our book as u failure and
even denounces Worthington as "rat
houses on the shores OF Lake Okabe-
na." Like mad dog swapping at ev.
erything, he even bites at WOrthingtOn
for tolerating the publication of such 1,
book. He intimates that no one has
ever praised'the book but the ADVANCE
itself, and that it has received no at.
tention from an 'uncharitable world.''
So the lunatic raves on from week to
week, and gives US all the opportunity
we could possibly ask to make the mer'
its of the book known. From time to
time, in self defence, we may be ex.
cused for publishing some opinions az
