Glcnns Ferry, Idaho, Aug. 9, 'O7.
Editor, Mountain Home Maverick,
Dear Sir: These few little
''thinks'' are intended for the col
OF your paper headed: "What
Other People Think" In your is
u of August 1st appears an article
by an alleged thinker who signs
himself, Victor H. Walker (now
incidentally l do not wish it to be
inferred that anybody else is III any
way responsible for the allegation as
Mr.. Walker is the only one, to the
best of my knowledge and belief,
who has in any way accused him OF
being a thinker) his article being
in the What Other People Think
column, leads us to think that MIR.
Walker believes he thunk 9 few
thinks.
His TRADE is evidently intended
as an answe to Mr.. T. R. Steven
sons article on the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners troubles. Now If,
after getting MIR. Stevenson down
and stamping his features beyond
recognition he had been satisfied,
we would have been inclined to let
Mr.. Stevenson put the coal oil fin
ish on, but in this spew OF his he
saw fit to take a fall out OF the
whole class of we undesirable cit
liens. AS far as our personal feel
ings are concerned. we don't mind
these falls as they are inflated with
pure unadulterated hot air, - but
there may be those with limited
think tanks who might be induced
by such TRADES to believe the whole
population of this country is made
up of asses. He says:
I'm a recent issue of your paper
there appears an ansrchistic howl
which one would naturally suggest
was a clipping from the Appeal TO
Reason Well, one certainly did
suggest it, naturally OF u~nnaturally,
and Mr.. Stevenson probably appre-
ciates the compliment, unless he
means ( o insinuate that MIR. Ste
vcnson stole the article from the
Appeal. We have not seen the ar
ticle in question but we will give
Mr.. Stevenson the benefit of the
doubt. We will pass by the false
charges against the Appeal to Rea-
son, they might have called forth
an answer q few years ago, but the
paper is more widely read now and
the principles for which it stands
are better understood, SO no think
ing man will be lead astray by such
idiotic statements. He says he has
failed to soc one good. honorable,
unbiased citizen who doos not highly
approve Of tho whole infamous per-
HE opportunities for
ae6inx 'fgonas shs00rputeapN
citixens" are certainly confined TO
his looking Gles- Tho main diff
Guilty with Mr. Walker seems to be
that es far Is social conditions are
concerned ho 10 very nea~ sighted,
no cannot eco any fertilizer in the d.
roction of Colorado than tho south
east ourner of his ranch, or he may
possibly have his gaze fixed &
steadily on 5000 nice, easy Office
chair at our county eat that al
other things are more or less blurred.
In speaking Of 'shull-pcus, martha
law and deportatiops," q ligh'
course in u. S. Labor Bureaus re.
ports on conditions in Cripple Creel
by u. S. Commissioners Wrigh'
would be of incstimahlc value {,
our friend Walker. Mr.. Walker
when you stake q kick at the gen
erai principles of republicsnism,'
here you are just as surely taking
a kick al the general principles o
{ democratism somewhere else and WI
agree with you ''there is plenty o
) ground for rcproach' in both cases
: The verdict in Mr.. H~aywood's cas-
has probably convinced Mr.. Wake
that Mr.. Haywood's inuoccnce wa
, thoroughly established, or is tn
: bail-pcn the only bi anch of justic
S and order which is down to Mr.
Walkers standard.
