the good people wanted to suppress

speaker wanted to suppress the local
newspapers for having the temerity
to publish the spiel Of the Yankee

company. What are the young peo-
pie Of La Junta going to do to amuse
themselves il the ultra moralists sue

I'VE take pleasure in answering
at once. and thus prominently. the

that its faithful author is numbered

Dear Editor: | am years old

the skepticism OF a skeptical age.
THEY do not believe except they see.
They think that nothing can be which

abound and give to your life its

dreary would be the world If there
