The weekly herald. [volume] (Amarillo, Tex.) 1906-19??, 1907-06-13

The editor OF the Herald grows
quite Indignant and says, this is an
ignorant or malicious mlsstatemeni
OF the real facts Wheat In that soc.
ton Is doing we'll as II Is In all this
Immediate vicinity and there Is no
cause or foundation for such MALI
clous and misleading statements"
etc. etc. have neen several wheat
fields and none that Is tall enough
10 bind, have talked to several
farmers aud not even the most OPP
timlstIc expects more than five or
six bushels to tho acre. Does the
Herald not know that many crops OF
wheat have been moved and baled
for hayY II he does he Is mar
row-brained calumniator and tala-
iier II not, no Is the most glhllble
tenderfoot that lever came down the
pike"
have lived twenty years at Wash
burn and expect that have as much
real estate interests as the editor OF
the Herald or his anointed informant
and the fact that we sometimes have
failure In small grain does not
scare me OF the country or lie about
i to the public In order to maintain
land values, We can have an occa.
slonal failure and then have the best
country.
AS to why a washburnite should
want 20 lie about himself and his
own interests because he is dis
gruntled' at the passage Of the rail
road removal bill is too deep for my
calber We we're disappointed In
the acts Of truculent legislature
and a deceitful self-serylng governor
but let me cite you to Art 10, Sec.
2. of the constitution of the state
OF Texas, which says, Railroads
. are hereby declared public high
ways" Then TO Art, o, Sec, Sc, say
Ing, the legislature shall not
. pass any special or local law au-
the altering, etc, of high
ways, etc" and ask you for an honest
and candid opinion as to whether we
are IN any danger of losing the rail-
road. In the face OF constitutional
SO explicit we cannot be
unless our judiciary is as susceptible
10 the Establishments Of wealth and
power as have been our legislature
md executive, and our whole civic
system as rotten as IN the days of
he Infamous Jeffreys or tho corrupt
Lord Bacon. bQ 81 iiac
1t WAS stated by your great men
It Austin that you already had a
contract with the Santa Fe to build

lilo, II you get 1t we will rejoice {
i your good fortune and assist you {
n enforcing the LAW II we can, In 9
making them maintain and operate 1t 7
n contrast to your conduct wherein q
on now seek to rob us of that q
which not enrlches you and makes b
Is poor indeed" Respectfully
