The eader.
Stupid Lying.

Ia the course of quite long editorial
in the last weeks Canton News wherein
Editor Nash boasted of his own good
qualities and his devotion to the peoples
interests, occurs the following extract:
In the last legislature The Independents
were in the majority but they had neither
the courage nor the purpose to effect any
reforms. Office was all they wanted. and
the whole session was given up to cour-
ting the democrats and etfecting an alli-
ance whereby they elevated Kyle to the
dignified position of U. S. senator. All
the measures upon which they claimed
were demanded by the people were ig-
nored by the reformers.
The readers of the News might possibly
have some consideration for its pretensi-
ons If it would tell the truth once in a
while. Now when the editorof the News
says that the independents were in maj
ority in the last legislature he lies and
what is more nlnety-nine out Of hundred
of his readers know he lies. The Editor
of the News knows the Independents
were not IN a majority in the last legis-
lature and IN the very next sentence he
admits that he knows the Independents
were not in the majoriy in the last legis-
lature when he says The whole session
was given up to counting the democrats.
What need would the independents have
had to court any body had they been in
the 'maj jority''? Now the editor of the
News we'll knows that instead of having
a majority, that the independents and
democrats com bined had a bare majority
over the republicans, and that the lnde-
pendents were powerless to do anything
without help from the other parties and
that while the democrats did help elect
Kyle that they did not join with the in
dependents but with the republicans
when it came TO matters Of legislation.
In view of the fact that the independents
were not in II majority in the legislature
but that the republicans had at least a
dozen more members than the independ-
ents in that body last legislature it does
seem strange that any editor will insult
the intelligence of his readers by such
statemets as made by the Editor OF the
News. What's the matter anyhow Nash !?
Have you got SO in the habit OF lying
you can't tell the truth? 1t ceatainly
looks that way when you will tell such a
stupid lie.-Mitchell Gazette.
