Condon globe. (Condon, Gilliam Co., Or.) 189?-1919, 1901-03-14
RELdPSE

The Weakly Annex has been sui
fering for seme tine with an ag-
gravated attack Of Aaaaias fever,
and it its latest spasm is TO be
taken as a criterion by which to
Judge Of its present condition, it is
reasonable to suppose that it has
suffered q relapse.
The Annex started in a few weeks
ago on campaign Of falsehood and
slander, and as fast as it has been
called down and cornered in one
lie, direct or implied, it has forth,
with proceeded to get on its nest
again and hatch out another. In
its latest attempt as a disciple OF
Ananias, the Annex says:
s'The editor of the Globe has, on oc-
casions too numerous to mention, used
his columns to circulate unfounded re-
ports about some Of our most responsible
citizens, or has opened his columns to
irresponsible persons, to publish mis-
leading aud libelous matter under some
non ae-plume, and before the injured
person would be allowed any space in
which to reply, he would be required to
contribute exhorbitant sums Of cash for
the same.
"If the Globe man is troubled with a
poor memory we can prompt it little
by naming few Of his victims"
Why did the Annex not go ahead
and name some of these alleged
victims" Of the GLOBES cupidity2
Win it do so in its next issue, or
will it do as it has been in the
habit Of doing-drop its latest lie
and contriye new one?
The GLOBE hereby desires 20
challenge this journalistic Ananias
to produce one iota Of evidence to
back up or establish the above
charge. Name any citizen, ''re-
sponsible" or otherwise, who has
been wronged BY the GLOBE aud
then charged "exorbitant sums"
for space in which to reply. Name
some Of the ''non-de-plumes" over
which irresponsible persons" have
published misleading and libelous
matter" in this paper. Give the
public some quotations from such
articles, or at least give q hint O
the subject-matter contained there
in. Name an individual who has
ever been charged one cent fol
space in the GLOBE except wheI
such space has been used for cam
paign matter or business advertis.
ing. We insist on the Annex going
a little farther into this matter anc
refreshing our memory as to thes'
charges. fit fails to do SO we vii
be obliged to retain our presen
position, and insist that in pub
fishing the language quoted abov
the Weekly Times is an unvarnish
ed, pusillanimous, malicious liai
Ifit desires to refresh its memory
before attempting to refresh ours
we will state that our files are a
its disposal at any time.
The GLOBE will state that it ha
always adhered to the policy @
charging for space used in its col
umns by the candidates of eithe
political party during the campaign
1t expects to continue to do so, ant
if this be "libelous" they had bette
make the most of it. The GLoB1
would not give space to a farthe
discussion of this matter if W
could discover any individual wh
will assume responsibility for th
falsehoods which continue to ap
pear in the Times, but as the mar
ager (?) of that paper has refuse
to enlighten us as to where tn
responsibility rests and as we ar
compelled to defend ourself agains
the attack Of an impersonal col
poration, wecan only do SO in thi
public manner.
THE COUNTRY EDITOR.
