Did Hubbard fail to do Justice to
the Grand valley? The great major
ity of people who have read his ar
ticle in the Philistine do not hesi-
thing contained therein that would
cause the most loyal booster Of the
valley to take offense. Citizen after
citizen has expressed disgust and
chagrin over the attack made on Mr..
Hubbard by the morning paper re-
garding this article. The manager
of the greatest fruit growers asso-
citation in the valley declares that
the Hubbard article was one of the
best boosts the valley has had in a
long time.
How easy 1t is to call another u
fraud and fakir. because he happens
to have made a success of his partic-

Kipling IN his Captains Courageous

and therefore could find cod when
all other shippers failed. We find

Hubbard needs no defense at this
end of the line. Just now we are not

of us who were responsible for bring
him here.
We are onto the shortcomings of
Fra Elbertus. as well as his many
good qualities: we are also onto our
own imperfections. and we have a
suspicion that the editor of the morn
ing paper is not immaculate.
Furthermore, we declare that,
while the morning paper may be
"enterprising''--it says so every
morning,-it is not fearless: it is
not progressive" and it is not RE-
liable'-the worst count that can
possibly be made against newspa-
per. However. there is hope even
for the worst, and to prove it We sub
nit the following opinion of an east
ern Judge, trusting 1t may eventually
be of service:

have no more right to inflict pain
