MAKES A REPLY

TO ALL WHOM THIS MAY COME
The editor of the Caldwell Daily
News has seen fit to write very
abusive. and at the same time, an ar
rlce that wholly misrepresents my
st nd in the bond matter, pertaining
t.. the reclamation of the arid lands
OF the west. He makes it appear that
/. a man that has been in the west
fov forty years, a man who has home
s.caded land and knows far better
than Mr.. Borah what these men and
their family have to endure, man
who would relieve them at once, and
instead of increasing their burden
a. Borah Ballinger and the News
man would do would relieve them en-
tirely, so far as the paying for the
land and water goes.
But the "BEAST" will howl when
you disturb him; a dog will whine
when you pull his ear; and even a
man will howl when one gets on his
corns.
eve dare print anything that is
not right" Yes. But you dare not
print and show up the wrong. That
is but a cowardly way to get around
printing plain facts. All there was
in the letter that | presented to you
was but plain extracts from the Re
port of the Comptroller of the Cur
rency. No reference to Socialism or
and thing of the kind.
After stating the facts; giving
page and all, l simply added the fol-
lowing:
Thirty million dollars in reclama-
ton fund greenbacks would not in
fate the currency any more during
the whole time of construction that
has been done many, many times by
the loans of one day by the banks.
These recorded facts are why ]
am opposed to the issue of any more
bonds.
was giving you credit of having
more grit, but you smoked out easily,
you haven't the moral courage to
stand up against wrong doing until
you have a majority at your back.
While l dare stand for what l be
lieve to be right when l thought ]
was the only man in the west, but !
found another man in the last Farm
G. Field" the farm paper that dares
to stand up for the farmer. But
have this to console me. There was
a man some 1000 years ago that stood
out against practically all men, you
may have read of him, and what be-
came of him? and for fear you may
not know, l will tell you where you
will find it. Get down that dusty vol
ume called the "BIBLE," (if you
haven't one l will loan you my old
one), just read the BOOK of JOHN,
you can learn there who he was and
what he taught, what Christianity
consisted OF, GATH, HOPE and
CHARITY. Paul said the greatest
of these is CHARITY, if we have l ct
charity We have nothing; be chan
table, brother; judge not, that We b
not judged. The News goes so fa1
as to intimate that ''Schenck" is sac.
religious; far from it. But | do no,
believe in building churches to the
glory of God, while little children 90
unshod. am ready, Brother Bor-
roughs, to show down with you. Yes,
with any man in Caldwell, so far as
following the path laid out by the
teaching of Christ. quit the church
years ago. Could not remain and be
true to myself and my God. | am no
hypocrite; neither am l Socialist,
but l believe in the Fatherhood of
God, and the universal brotherhood
of man, in life eternal, that the Faith
er does not loose sight of us when we
have passed that incident in life
called death.
Yes, | salo in one of the letters,
that the Socialist party was the only
ono that offered any relief or means
of escape from our present banking
system. That, Brother Burroughs, is
the God-Almighty's truth, and if
you know anything worth while, YOU
know it. defy you to show it is not
a fact.
| do not know whether or not nv
idea that l have borrowed from Abe
Lincoln, Thad. Stevens. Bob
Schenck, Henry Wilson and others Is
Utopian or not, Il admit here that
l do not know what it means.) What
| want is the issue of $3O,00O,O 600. 90
more of the same that we now have
$780, 900, 100000 of legal tender notes
Can't get them? Rats! You haven't
asked for them. 1t is my opinion YOU
