you like to live in State where
such laws are in force? Did you that
came here from foreign climes come
here to be robbed of the last vestige
of liberty? And to he robbed in the
great name of Reform? External
vigilance is the price OF liberty" said
Patrick Henry. This has become a.
household word, and it is indeed as
pertinent to-day as it was when it
was uttered.
When such bill can pass one
branch of our Legislature it indeed
behooves some agitation for reform
OF the body polite, but, the reform
must not he of the Nelson-Lawson
type. And here again Mr.. Lawson
asks why did Republicans vote for
and help pass this measure. My re-
ply above applies here with equal
force. I am dealing. with your pro-
teges Nelson and Grue. You are
their sponsor and mouth-piece. You
helped foist them on the people and
l will do my share to see you are not
relieved OF that responsibility. Mr..
Nelson's official act is here in ques-
ton. The cuIpability of other men,
| bers in no manner excuses him. He
will have to answer for his own acts
| when he again comes before the peo-
pie. Now, Mr.. Lawson l want you
to tell why did he vote for this dam
dable bill. If you or he have any
good reasons trot them out. Don't
prate about the misunderstanding
law. If to vote for the latter is an
excuse to vote for the former. if it is
automatic of We Populist reformers (?)
to always combine one good deed
with very bad one then may heaven
forbid us the vista ton of a second
dose of Reform. If from your stand
point the commission of a righteous
act justifies the commission of one
ten times worse than bad, then in
deed Mr. Lawson you will stand up
held in your unfolding of Nelson and
his vote to muzzle the people. But,
friend Vic, l think you'll find that
your position and opinion is shared
by few. In voting for the O'NeiI bill
Mr.. Nelson plainly demonstrated his
unfitness to represent free, liberty
loving people. Such legislation is the
~ fol ,,,f Sc, h
all that prize the. boonless price of
personal liberty. Suppose dear Vic I
would have voted for such a mea-
sure! What would your Tribune
have said? Would you have kept
quiet too until some one prodded you
to speak? Well, I guess not! You
would have had several kinds OF fits
and would have been a chump or
rascal. Oh, the consistency of you
reform (?) editors!
Mr.. Editor! Owing to the fact
that am SO very busy now with
farm work cannot devote as much
time to this iustallment as 1 would
wish to. | had few more choice
delicacies in store for our friend Law
son but he'll have to wait until next
week. And perhaps after all the
above will try his digestive appara-
tus for one week. Just he patient
Vic. After two or three more issues
l will try and graduate you. You'll
get some kind of a diploma anyway
and Lind, Grue and Nelson will get a
bill of health.
