"FRASKLIN" AGAIN HEARD
FROM.

Mr.. Editor: II Is easy to give
your cOnclusiOnS-it il also easy 10
be rude and in Franklin~ opinion
neither gives the best evidence I'll Il
great intellect. lie hoped TO hear
you give the facts and the reasons
for your position. II he may be
perm ittcd-although void Of suiii-
cicnt wisdom to ask q "pcrtincnt
qucstion"-tO suggest that your
readers are capable ofdrawing Their
own conclusions and this may even
90 So for ~ 10 conclude upon the
simplicity of Franklin's qu, 7.iOus or
The editors good taste, pOlitinc-S
and good sense. Wonderful ii j. true
az shown in your editorial clipping
on 2nd page Of your issue OF June
18TH. The request to ridiculC a.
they Il, serve the simplicity of these
10 questions j. reirc9hingiy candid
and gives Franklin room to be
equally 50; simple he certainly tried
10 make them, 20 simple that even
the editor Of this paper could COM
prchcnd them. III" failed and he
regrets it also, regrets that you
called in "anOthcr horse" To- do the
job for you and if this kind editor
will permit will close aI to him
with the spccia. request that he
read ard ponder wei tie, - chap ter
of the book Of job, and tn" 2nd
we're thereof.
And now for liarnargc-, tn" Son
Of thunder, to whose tender mercitS
he commits this ignorant Franklin.

day to ours and who signs his name
! +. X, Cooper. Mr.. Cooper gel your
Bible and read that over again and
don't forget the part Laban plays.
Please forget that you like Laban in
the case have al interest at stake.
Then in your conscience say If
Laban did not keep his first 7 year
contract with Jacob more faithfully
than you did yours to answer Frank
! lins ~ questions. Lets see II he did.
answer to qu uii !. "A Railroad
Commission weird have just such
authority and legal powers as the
! legislature in It's wisdom should
confer upon IT," l. that fact?
wonderful, truly astonishing. The
idea is brilliant. Jacob on the dis
covery that Laban had paid for
years Of toll with Leah instead OF
Rachel was not so much surprised,
dazed, bewildercd, by the legal difini-
ton Of the law Of his section as !
am by this. 1t does really seem
simply true. They can do it nc
doubt about it. "And they could
also frame one that would be con
stitutional and of great advantage
to the people," Please give us &
sample copy of the one you will
propose Mr.. Cooper. In its broad
wisdom it would do a simple mind
Cd Individual good. Please publish
it at once and let lis read it over
line at time, slow you know. II
would give us one thing you could
not, Laban like, dodge as you did
question one a in fact all the
others asked. Don't now lets begin
to call each other pet names AS YOU
do all through your attempt to an,
sWer the other nine. Franklin re,

cOncincr0us style by negro boys in
his early youth. As you failed It
answer the first question | will no
now go into the others but ask yOu
to give lis this proposed law. IOl
say it can lie done. The burden i:
ON the alleging party, prove ii by
the law as YOU say it ought to Il
and if you can't DO it say 30, let u
get at the merits Of the controversy
and not be continually trying, rs |
think you now ar" to go Off in any
% other road. As you seem to II:
fond Of Bible quotations you can
find some good reading beginning i
