LAWSON REPLIES
TO MR. MORRIS
az M. d. Lawson.l

Still replying to w. M. MOTIFS let
ter IN the Herald of September %.
1908, and as I have set forth in
former letters that / was here for
gexplanations and not to bedaub in
nocent parties with coal tar, this
snarl of Mr.. Morris in the letter of
Sept. 22, was unnoticed by him or
the Herald people at the time, or it
would not have been printed. j
denounce this letter as one of the
most uncalled for and impish things
the Herald has published as well as
one Of the most dashing declarations
IN favor of Mr. Morris, and in open
violation of the grand and glorious
principles of justice and fairness.
That letter hits the Loan & Build
ing people and it will eventually
hurt the Herald, unless those ex-
plantations are made to me by Mr..
Morris as asked by me in last weeks
Herald. That letter does not hurt
me from the fact, it starts from
nothing, promulgates nothing, deals
in tar and slang, whitewash coming
from under the pen of the writer,
as I will hereafter show and ends
in nothing save false parade OF
pompous composites of the high
cock-o'lorum as senior writer against
a mere boy who Iabored earnestly in
Justice to all to hold the u. & D. to-
gether and gain for thegl every dol
lar there was in 4. & B. for them.
Mr. Morris, please go back and
read all my letters on L. & B., and
then read your own letters on the
same, and, if you can find in them
any plan or part of a plan, whereby
any one of l.. & B. stockholders Is IN
any way provided for in either OF
your first two letters, Just point It
out to those people. IF not, Just
pleace say to them, as an open con-
fession is good for the soul, that
YOU do not know Then YOU will
be telling those people the truth, as
YOU claim in the letter of Sept. p.
that you claim credit for telling tho
truth, and stop your false preten-
sions to mislead those L. & B. peo-
pie.
1 was in. the Herald office Tues
day, Sept. 26, with my answer in
part to that same deplorable letter
/ refer to, but finding Mr.. Morris
had crept in an6 occupied all thei
space, and seeing I was cut out, /
quietly consented and returned home
and still quiet I returned to the Her
aid office Saturday, Sept. 80, at
8 80 O'Clock p. M, saw no one IN
front office, saw Mr.. Morris in the
back office with his hands full OF
papers and still gathering more.
They all saw me- No one came.
turned and walked out. l.. M.
Goodwin was with me. Later re-
turned, found the editor in con-
versation with II. Payne, of Iyrconl-
nell. wherein Payne seemed to he
earnestly trying to tell the editor
Of some wonderful things he had
done or written. / could not tell,
but Payne said: 81 had 1t liked up
nice and would like for you to have We
seen it.'' eyes" said the editor, !
would love to have seen it" putting
4 in the past. The editor arose,
excused himself gentlemanly, ask
ing Mr.. Payne and myself to wait
one minute and he would be back.
Mr.. PAYNE left but / stayed and held
the fort until Mr.. Editor returned.
and then handed in my reply in
part to this agnostic letter OF Mr..
Morris, Sept. %, but only refer to
this little episode just to show how
some editors of some papers are an
moved at such nuisance as myself
Morris and Payne. I left first be-
cause no one recognized me, but ]
returned afterward and held the
fort until I was relieved by the edi-
tor. Our Saviour said: eff ] go
away, I will return again and take
YOU to myself" The Saviour of the
world entered his own house, over
turned the tables of the money
changers, put them out and informs
ed that they they had made his
house a den Of thieves. This is what
I am fighting for. seem to be a
lonely fellow, cutting my way
through this canker carniyeousness.
Possibly, it may at this time look
strange to you but Just let me alone.
II will get there and take those in
terested parties In u. s. B. with me
regardless Of opposition Of Morris
letters. While / am thankful TO
