The Appeal to Reason at Girard. 1

OF a rooster when dealing with CAPT Il
talists but it has its equal A news
paper editor having received the Ap-
peal to Reason as long as he could i
stand il, published the following /
There is a paper published at Gifard 4
called the Appeal to Reason blood /
thirsty anarChiSttc sheet coming TO our 1
exchange table, which we wish the pie /
mOuthed, pin headed, parrot praung 4
pu blisher would discontinue Just 4
what kind Of hard pan God made him /
out OF we do not know, but he has
more gall than gray matter in suppOs-
ing that we would exchange this great /
religious weekly for q hell bent hand 1

who spews the spell binding special |
ties for this sheet OF red anarchy |
claims to have a circulation Of 2OOs-

100000 exchanges and $4,000 dead

starts you can't stop il, and the pub

bones at her soul, just because her
husband, in life, refused his internal
sham sheet, which abounds only in
blood and bilious bubbles Anarchy,
preached straight from red hot and

to Reason is certainly a punk piece Of
papyrus to unrOll to practical peO-
pie, who know that anarchy and So
called socialism are kith and kin, and

would crumble TO premature decay
GOOdland Record August 16-
The superciIiOus venom and vitu-
preparation Of the above contains
more Of the mad, enviOus jealous
spirit Of the anarchist than all the So
cialist literature contains of the past
sixty years The editor having re-
ceived the Appeal to Reason as long
as he could stand it" Some people
cannot stand IL when you appeal to
their reason, that's true a blood
thirsty, anarchist sheet" The Appeal
has never taught blood thirstinesS; has
always kept within the limits Of the
law, and taught the same thing in its
columns Either the above writer does
not know what anarchy is, or knows
nothing Of the Appeals teaching. The
whole article manifests the haSty pet
ulence Of a little mule, kicking at, il
hard pan God made him out Of, we
do not know, etc" There's many
other things you do not know either,
however, you admit God made him
We are inclined somewhat to the be-
lief that God had nothing whatever

other fellow did that miserable poor
| lob, long after he had run out OF hard
| pan, when there was nothing left but
the fOulest hot air. Old Nick has
doubtless long since been ashamed OF
| the job. 226,O67 is the number Of
yearly subscriptions August Is, 1906,
/ No man gets the Appeal unless he or
some friend pays for it before it IS
sent. We have no deadbeats in the
I list. Neither does the above include
any exchanges. As to his story Of the
grave yard scene winding up with
blood and bilious bubbles" only
shows the writer's cOagulated bilious
conditions, or a wonderfully depraved
| heart As Ito a Practical people, who
/ know that anarchy and SO-called So
| cialism are kith and. kin" There is
no man on earth knows any such
! thing, as the two are extremes, as
/ much so as midnight and midday And
with either our glorious republic,
would crumble to prmature decay
What is our glorious republic2 Stand
| ard Oil claims to "Own the senate and

called glorious republic" is private
| property of the trusts. What belongs
! to trusts is not ours. If s'the par
| taker is as bad as the thief you are
as bad as the meat poisoning trust

pure unadulterated greed. You vote

/ has crumbled; you are to obstinate

and will have until in the near future
