A DIFFERENCE OF OPINIONS.

We are panied to observe that
both the Hotchkiss publications
hold views very dissimilar TO ours
on the Jap question. Both pa
pers take a fall out of this editor
in their last editions and both
seem to think that Jap popula-
ton is the greatest boon that
could be obtained by Jour people.
We feel like making a reply to
the structures of their papers be-
cause we feel that a principal is
at stake. Really the humor of
the situation appeals to US so
strongly that it is difficult to treat
the subject as seriously as it
probably deserves. In our last
weeks paper we gave the reason
why we assumed that Paul Wilson
was the moving element for the
Jap invasion. The reason seemed
good and the fact as yet remains
undenied. therefore we were
likely right in our assertion. The
fact that we do not carry an ad-
vertiscment tor the gentleman
cuts no ice in the matter even il
Bro. Blackwell does think IL an ex
planation. Genial Tom also finds
satisfaction in a statement made
by some Paonia man down ther c
that "Rawalt is joke in Paonia.
That remark is best answered by
the action taken by our people
on the question at issue. They
appear pretty unanimous don't
they Tom?
Possibly the man you talked to
was Just stringing you. The
NEwsPAPAPER fought the lap
battle once before and won out.
There vas some sentiment in
favor of Japs at that time but
there was not enough bull dozers
to control either paper. And
tina, brings us to thought Tom.
When you came home from
Denver and found out what had
been done in your absence you
used the remark That is the
worst thing Hotchkiss ever done. "
A Paonia man was present and
heard you say il. That was your
conviction as most of your friends
knew it would be. Later the
same man heard some of the Jap
worshippers say that if you used
your paper to'9antagonize the
bringing of Japs they would run
you out of town. Possibly you
also heard that threat. and it may
account for your present position.
We observe that your article is
is not clear and resonant as you
usually write and we think we
note the forced uttcrancc that
comes from an unwilling heart,
There was no reason for being
alarmed over that threat. The
class of cattle who run those
blazers never do any harm. When
their bluff is called they lay down
their hand. You might just as
we'll have done as you pleased
and satisfied your own conscience
