has not attempted to answer this
question.

easier, and possibly more profitable,

up with the rich lumbermen and our
rich Congressman in the lumber tar
| if fight than to stand up for the
good old Democratic doctrine Of "eq-
ual rights to all and special prlvi-
leges TO none," but it is not the first
time The Times and Democrat has
pursued the path Of duty instead OF
the path of expediency and gain, and
it won't he the last.
