The deporting OF men has sud

one would think that deporting
was the objectionable sin. 1t is
not such ancient history that our
pepole have forgotten the deport-
ing that was done in the city OF
Rocky Ford when our sugar fac
tory was being built, when a
gang OF obstructionists was es-
corted out OF town by a posse OF
indignant citizens and told to
hike Y The only crime that these
men had committed was to at
tempt TO tie up the work on our
factory. Some of these same men
who are so vigorously denouncing
now were among the most active
in deporting the local agitators.
