STANDS UP FOR LITTLE
Republican Paper Says the Abilene
officer Has Not Been
Treatad Fairly.

TFrom the Coffeyville Journal
The esteemed Elk City Enterprise,
like many other Republican papers
which have no minds of their own and
which sneeze whenever some big Re
publican paper takes snuff, takes the
Journal to task for expressing a kind
word for Ed Little Of the Twentieth
Kansas.
The Enterprise, using the same ar
guments employed by all the knockers
of the Twentieth, charges Little with
having ruined the regiment in San
Francisco before it went to Manila, and
then says that after it got there, Little
shot himself to avoid fighting. These
two facts are news not only to the
Journal but to all the world. They
must have been revealed to the Enter
prise in a military nightmare. They
are its exclusive property. No one has
said before that the Twentieth was
ever ruined by anyone. Ed Little did
meet with an accident, it is true but it
was never his misfortune to be promo
ted for bravery in battle in which he
did not participate. The Journal does
not like Ed Little politically at all,
but it does claim that he has not been
treated fairly and squarely as a sold
Ter.
