A LETTER TO LIFE"
Under Nom dc Plume of "Western
Texas" Some One Writes "Life" a
Live Letter from san Angelo.

The following open and iude-
pendent letter appeared in the
November Did issue Of that cx-
cellcnt journal, Life, which Is
published at New York. The letter
10 signed "Western Texas and il
dated October 20. Many people
are guessing who wrote it,. The
letter reads:
Dear Life.
When you receive this letter,
think Of the Bear Fighters
Prayer or Lord Marmior's, when
he appealed to st. George for the
first time. We have been pretty
constant readers and admirers Of
yours for number of years.
Way back in the SOS when Tom
Green county was bigger than
some states, and no railroad with
in 100 miles of Fort Concho, you
were always II welcome visitor,
and the man who brought a copy
into COW camp had the first cup
of coffee, the fattest piece of meat
and the sOftest saddle for his
pillow. We wero first attracted
by your wit, soon grew TO love
your bravery and admire your
Justice, for you always treated us
fairly, severe at times, but never
with the blind prejudice unfor-
tunately SO common with most
Northern papers When that
terrible tragedy occurred at Paris,
you were stern, but you recog.
uilnd and allowedfor thciprovoca-
tlon and saw the difference be-
tween sorclY tempted men of
your own race and savageS. We
are pretty independent set out
here, ready to back our opinions
and accept the consequences of
our acts, but fair treatment is rs
sweet to us rs to more Conven-
tlonal people. Therefore, Life.
you are our "compadre,' we trust
your Judgement, your book re-
view has more weight with us
than that of all the others put
together, as the booksellers can
tel! you. We are with you TO our
last shell in your fight for free
dom of speech and opinion with
the Theatrical Trust. 1t is be-
cause we like you so well and
trust you SO thoroughly that we
cannot understand your position
towards Lawson, and want you to
explain it. Surely, Life, his wit,
his grit, his frankness, must
appeal to you. Yet all your al
luslons TO him contain sarcasm or
sneer. We don't think him "A
saint.

all alike,

And one for the greedy pike.
But if he is n buccaneer, he is
II bold one, n regular Bertram

Wyclitl'e," and Addicks' "Guy
Denail." You know you were
sorry when Bertram's horse fell.
Now as Lawson does not yet need
"a soldiers cloak for n winding
sheet, give him credit for what
he has done and a promise of
praise tor the good he may do,
and be in the future, rs in the
past, our ideal of one who loves IA
