"As We SEE IT. SUMMARIZES Col
LER's ATTACK on THE SECRETARY OF
THE INTERIOR
Editor Washington Bee: In my article,
published in The Bee under date of
April %, 1910, l made known to your
readers the character of the sheet known
as Golfers Weekly In this article
will summarize Golfers entire outburst,
giving his motives for the same.
GOLFERS EDITORIAL BULLETIN" STATE
MENT
We find in Golfers, under caption of
Editorial Bulletin" the following:
Those who read this article will know
rather deeply some things about the
real history of the American Govern
ment" The above-quoted statement has
to do with the article which appeared in
Golfers, under date of April 9, 1910,
IN which it is stated that certain well
dressed men and women" joined Presi-
dent Tafts party in the West. The
contemplate inference, inuendo, which
Collier seeks to throw out, being that
President Taft on that trip associated
with men of questionable character.
'Well-dressed men," men of means, rich
men; it IS that cheap kind of journal
ISM, the arraying of the poor against
the rich, or yIca versa, by exciting the
cupidity of the former, or the contempt
of the latter, that has ever characterized
these Collier people; but the relation
of all this TRADE, relating to well
dressed men and women" their unCles,
auntS and cousins, to the thirty-thlrd re
move" joining the Presidential party, to
the real history of the American Gov
eTnment" only finds Judgement in the in
hated brain of Golfers man Friday.
The motive for this attack is to gain
cheap notOriety. This whole attack, the
basic motive that inspired Collier, may
be summd up in Golfers own words.
We quote: This we shall continue to
do (meaning these attacks on the Sec
retary of the InteriOr), no matter what
the cost in money or in hostility from
the Administration, and from the preda-
tory rich" No matter what the cost
IN money" simply means sue me, make
YeTtiSement. Hostility of the Admin
iStration." That is purely the result OF
a "brain storm" Either K. J. Collier
or C. P. Donnolly in the administrative
class, got "class" enough about them
to make them an object of the Admin
istration's wrath Well, that is enough
TO make even the Democratic Donkey
laugh. What fool ideas these brain
storms" are father to! But let this
hallucmation of Collier and his man Fri
day pass.
Collier will be attacked by his own
kind Collier fears some attack from
the predatory rich" Does he fear
a rupture with his own kind? If there
are any predatory rich" in this country,
Collier IS of that class; It may be in his
blood, having been brought from hinder
land by the sire, but it IS there, never
thelesS, and not withstanding, ravenous,
Tcpacious, plundering and pillaging Of
the good names and homes of men and
women, whose lives and homes have
always meant something to this cOun-
Try, even before the days of the emigrant
ship.
In spite of Golfers vicious attack, K.
A Ballinger'S fellOw-citizens believe in
him In conclusion, let me state that,
IN spite of his laying bare facts in
spite of his lying by inference and in
uendo, in spite of his frantic efforts to
league all rich men together CTimindlly,
IN his effort to blind the public, iii spite
Of his "bald-faced' lie that in the West
nine men out of ten speak i'll of him,
the fact remains that 4. A. Balllnger
fellow-citizens are not of Collier.s mind,
as is evidenced by the passage, April
2I, 1910, by the Bar Association Of the
State of Washington at Seattle, OF set
Of resolutions ChaTaCteTiZing this Col
ler attack as an "unWarTanted sad
vicious assault against the passage OF
which but one dissenting voice was
raised Is II possible that this one dis
5enting voice Is the wee, tiny, Infantlle
wall, in the wilderness of approval, of
Heckman's last attorney, given out as
ne lies gasping in mother Golfers arms
and draws life from the bottle of luCre
held to his lips by his foster mother,
who warbles softly in Connolly'S most
diScordant notes Golfers new lullaby,
The acid test that sent him into OBJ
sCurity, with the contempt of men
There would be no way in the world
Tor a lawyer to pass the scrutiny of
the Bar Association OF his State and
obtain a clean bill of health with but
one dissenting vote, unless he was hon
est and upright
When a lawyer speaks for brother
lawyer he stakes his own reputation.
Collier has lied from start to finish.
