The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1891-04-18
Western Division. NJ


EDITOR LEADER: I see SO many CORES
pondents writing on topic that is of
great moment, that I cannot help saying
something too. Both "Reader" in Sod
Shack at Turtle Lake and "Gnu" did pref
ty we'll, and certainly must join with
them, for see that the MULE of the Nc.
Lean County Mail, as "Gnu" calls him, is
giving some more slang to its readers and
calls on the Minot Journal to point out
one single act that Satterlund did for the
benefit of either Ward or Mclean county.
Now, sir, the mule editor need not ask the
Journal to point it out. The "mule" knows
very good acts himself that Satterlund did,
and some of US can point out others right
here in our own county without going any
further. In the first place, he has put to
rout all the missing links' and the ely
ing spirits" and pretty nearly all the
scrub breed of hogs that were in this coun-
ty, and has established better and purer
surrounding, SO that the people of this
county may look forward to better times
and better future. But there are still a
few bad ones left, which will be rooted out
inside of two years from now.
The Mail man admits that satterlund
did good deal in Bismarck. Yes, and that
was the reason that the mule editor was SO
much on the streets in Washburn with his
head up and his ears erect looking and
shifting down toward the capital city
where Satterlund was. No wonder it irri-
tates him. Hold a little, Brit, when satter-
lund goes to the legislature two years hence
he may get you the printing of the laws
that he and others may pass, so don't howl
so much and keep so long at 1t. We GER
tainly made no mistake when We
elected him last fall, and we shall
make no mistake one year from next
fall, for he is sure to go there again; but
he must first root out the balance of the
mongrel hogs that are left. Keep wide a.
wake, you Mail editor, for you may be one
of them, and you may be wheeled out of
town with your "wheel-barrow press" to
do your scheming elsewhere. We are point
ing this out to you in time, so you can get
ready for the "trotting out" as you call it.
I will say this much for the benefit of the
Mail, that the people, the honest settlers
of this county, are getting most heartily
sick and tired of the absurd, willful lies that
find place from time to time in that lying
sheet. Now, remember, Erltton, there may
be fund raised to wheel you out of this
county as there was fund raised to bring
you into it and to feed you after you came
here. It is evident that you cannot get the
commissioners who are now in Office to
pay you $500 "to boom the county," and
now, sir, please tell where is your $4,000
press you said you had paid for and own
ed? The "wheel-barrow press" think,
will have to do now.
Well, Mr.. Editor, will close for the pre-.
sent, but shall have to remember where
I leave of, 60 will know where to begin
again when it comes my turn. There are
three or four more correspondents to hear
from after me, and when they are through
I will take the "bat" again. You know
that this county is to be large one now
and in the course of time We shall have
many things to point out to the Mail mar
which he wants to see, 80 the Minot Journa
can leave that matter in our hands. 861
