Editor Journal:-Think it none of
my business and afraid of the law? 1
wish to answer Mrs. e. Rabson's
statement of the 10Th. Now, Lizzie,
do you call that doing right to yourself,
the children and their father to print,
or have printed, such yarn as that,
trying to shield that kid in his abuse
and meanness to the whole family
that has been going on for the past
four years? Listen, Lizzie, if Jake
could stand on his feet, today would
he allow you to have that trash print
ed, or would he deny what you have?
Could | not tell you, in this, of first
one thing and next time something
else that kid has been doing? 1 know
nothing Of your last choking affair,
but let me say to you you are living in
the city now where things are not as
easily hid as they used to be and the
quicker you let that young gentleman
be taken care of the better. 1t might
do all right tostutf your own folks but
printing it includes me. Wishing you
well | remain your country friend,
when you need me again.

never compete with it. Whatever may
be the growth of the beet sugar indus
try, it cannot meet this special re-
quirement.
Colonel Eagan believes that the
white man can labor in these Islands,
and that there will be large emf
