New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1903-02-04
New 0l In. Review
Wednesday February II, 1908.

We would suggest to the Review to
pay up that personal property tax which
wasn't laid last year and we trust that
the proper authorities make an effort to
collect it. If the Review clears its skirts
of several other matters it can then com
mence discussing the city's finances,
providing, of course, that it stick to the
truth.-Journal..
What beautiful piece of English
compositions model for class in
literature-It is impossible to believe
that Mr.. Duane wrote it for he is better
educated, so it must come from Mr..
Liesch or one of the apprentices in the
Office. It is as vicious in diction as it
is damnable in purpose and abortiye in
fact. If Mr.. Liesch or any other man
can find any delinquent taxes charged to
the Review the writer will forfeit a like
amount to the person who discovers the
fact. There were some personal property
taxes that were assessed to E. R. Barager
that were never paid, the same as there
are debts in almost every business place
IN the city and many out OF the city that
he has chosen not to pay, but it does
not lie with the writer to pay these bills.
The reference the Journal makes to the
Review IS 90 mallcieusly false that It
scarcely needs denial, 1t may have been
an error on the part of the writer if so
and he is gentleman he will correct 1t,
if he does not correct it it is the purpose
of this article to show to the people that
the highest idea of honor that the editor
of the Journal has is to seek to sully the
character of competitor for mercinary
purposes. ts.r
Since when did the editor of the
Journal acquire the right of dictator to
say when and how often people should
speak. 1t is we'll known that he has been
ambitious and has aspired to the place
of boss of the city for sometime but by
what authority he now claims the right
is unknown. ~~
The above short paragraph shows the
character of the man in a far better light
than looking glass would reflect his
image. 1t is so low and contemplate
that it leads one to wonder of the recent
TRADE against the editor of the News
was not in the same tenor. In all the
various places in which the writer has
been it was left for him to come to New
Ulm to find man whose ideas of honor
are so small that many of them could
dance on the point of a needle.
q The an,mus of the above squib is to
make people believe that the writer is
= dishonest, that there is something for
which an honorable man should blush
CT is liable ifsehe law had its course. The
taxes referred to were assessed to e. r.
Earager soon after he succeeded Mr..
Wicherskl and if there is any person to
whom they belong 1t is to the man who
owned the property previous to Mr..
Barager. It is tue that the proper
authorities should collect the taxes, but
the lntimation that the officials are dire
lect in their duty and are showing
favoriteism is as uncalled for as the
whole article is. 1t certainly was I'M
provoked and shows that behind the
mask that breaches to the world magma
nimity there turks soul that would
stab its best friend could it by that deed
gain an extra fifty cent piece.
This matter will not be referred to
again as the writer believes that in + his
dealings with the people of this city
they have found him to be honest and
above board and every obligation that he
has contracted has been met in full, and
for that reason whatever the Journal may
say in the future on the matter may be
considered to have been answered in this
and the people spared the nauseating de-
tails of newspaper fight.

The Journal last week would have it
appear that the New Ulm Electric Light
Company has been seeking to arbitrate
