WANTS Mr.. .BRANNAN
TO ANSWER ARGUMENT

correspondent from the mountain.
Brannan, you are featherweight and
the misfortune is that you think you
are heavy weight. You cannot do
justice even to Mapleism or Warren
ism. You ought to co. them to make
your arguments direct from their
shops as they would probably exercise
more judgement in something's than
you. They would at least let some
tangled things alone. You are hob
bled, Mr.. Brannan, and the trouble is
you lack the brains to see it. You
keep saying that you are coming with
something great, but you have never
delivered the goods.
You tell me to read the 18th chapter
of LIST Corinthians, and substitute
Glove" That's the way to do it.
Love prompts the helping of our fell
lowmen. Charity means love, and /
will not have to read that chapter to
learn it. I cannot account for your
making such break as you did in
taking up that matter and devoting
nearly column to it unless your mind
is so Mapleized, Warrenized and be-
foggled with Scent Socialist pamph-
let's that you could not see what rope
you were hobbling yourself With /
here quote a complete sentence from
you and use love where You used char
ity. Excuse me for. using the word
''love'', for verify despise, yes, hate
love. - In the name of even gander
sense, Brannan, how can you say you
have learned enough to endorse that?
l submit this not to you in the hope
that it may cause you to think, but to
the conservative people who read the
News and ask thep if they can en-
dorse such statement. If a gang Of
goslings could talk they would use
more judgement than that.
Mr.. Brannan, you would do well to
quit tampering with the Bible in these
Tightly, fanatic arguments, or you win
keep yourself in hobble. You even
60 so far as to call yourself beast
and that after having week to study
over the matter. You say that all
men are your brothers and that Taft is
beast. Then if he is your brother
and beast, what are your Brothers
are alike in kind l doubt the ability
of your Mapleized mind to figure out
just what you are.
You keep saying to give it to you
broadside at time. You have enough
to do you for awhile, if you will only
look into it and try to answer it, !
insist on your answering my last let
ter and the remainder of the other
one or else concede the statements
made in them. insofar as they attack
your statements.
It is easy to puff around about doing
things and answering little gnats, but
you may find some wasps or hornets in
these letters if you are able to tell the
difference between one thing and an
other.
Did l show you one good deed done
by Taft
Are all of us going to the devil on
account of the system9
Does the system force Christian to
"cuss''9
Answer these things, Brannan You
are honor bound to try to answer them
as they are cleaned from your own
CLEANED them from your
own statements to show the people
mot you for you are too far gomez just
what dangerous doctrine you are
or trying to teach.
You think to soft soap the ignorant
people by telling them to read. Yes,
read Scent pamphlets on Socialism,
read the Ripsaw, read the Appeal to
Reason. You, yourself are product
Of reading such rotten fanaticism, and
you are trying to influence your
neighburs to fall into the same ditch
that you have. To read is good If we
choose something that has consistency,
sense, or patriotism in it. To read
,ome things is dangerous to the Eighty
