Mr.. Editor. please allow your hum
bic servant space for few remarks.
Since the big guns have ceased firing.
such as "Wild West and "a. J."
which might mean Andrew jackson,
but don't, some of your old time .22's
might get in word edgewise.
l wish in the beginning to call at
tention to the fact that both p-ofaue
and sacred history teach us almost in
every line that there has been diver
sity of opinion since soon after man
was made. In all nations there hssve
been accusations and reformations
brought by people dividing inopinion,
and such things are necessary. else
God in His infinite wisdom, would
have arranged these things differently.
1t is very foolish for us to get into
our heads that we are the pure in
heart, and all to the contrary are the
fit subjects of Hades. This seems to
be the thought of most writer's. If
we would only stop for one moment
and compare ourselves With wisdom
see ourselves as others see MS, in the
words of Robert Burns, our feathers
would fall We are nothing, COMPARE
lively. There never was time when
leaders or teachers of the right kind,
were not needed, but / believe they
are needed now worse than ever.
vivid West seems to hold to the
old way. because it is as good as he
wants, and don't seem to realize any
one else has any right to kick IA.
j. seems to hold to new way which
he is not able to fully explain to the
satisfaction of 'W. W."
Now,> boys, just keep your shirts on
and let's reason bit. / am not ac-
quainted with "a. j. nor Nv. W."
l have seen Mr.. Fl. E. Tate few
times, but if ] ever saw Mr.. Brannan
don't know it, and | certainly re-
spect both as gentlemen, and l know
Mr.. Tate to be of good stock of peo-
pie. l am personally acquainted with
a number of Tates who are good citi-
zens.
l do not wish to debate with any
one, but would suggest that those who
do would give us facts for or against,
as the case may be, as pertaining to
the subject, and not commence to call
each other names, or assail their reli-
gious proclivities, for God knows we
all come far short of what we should
in regard to our religion. 1t is need
full for us to have leaders, but if the
blind lead the blind, all will fall in th51
ditch. Let us try first to get started
after the right leader
Now, as l understand, Mr.. Brannan
represents system of government,
which is to have no standard of value,
or it will not have standard of ex-
change among other nations of the
world. IF SO how is it to be represent
ed We cannot live and deal with the
world by import and export, without
using specie or some medium by
which value can be measured and ex-
changed. But do mot believe that
this government as it now is is good
enough, for as big fool as | am can
SEQ that more economy and vast
amount of honor is needed to make
this country what it should be, and
unless some steps ara taken in the near
future to bring about better system,
this United States will fall or become
a bankrupt nation, but when l reflect
on history, l see we are travelling the
same road as all other nations. Ma
tions rise and recede like the tide of
the oo an. Some endure longer than
others but all go down never to be
known again among nations. firmly
believe that millions of nations have
lived in these United States, and bill
lions more will follow In fact I be- |
lieve there never will be time when |
there will be no people to serve God on
earth.
The health of our town is good.
Work is better, four days week.
Getting out cross ties and tan bark |
is quite an industry here now.
We have had dry weather here, but
good rains are falling now.
Let me hear from Millard, Jess and
Dan Thach thru the News. / would
ike to hear from Alec Jasater, Sam,
Robert, George and Willie, the doctor,
f any of them get the News. If not
hey ought to. Hoss Eye.
