Here is what Casey of the Knox
Vile Express said In his paper last
week, among other things:
"The Keota Eagle and the Brigh-
ton Enterprise are dealing each
other bledge hammer blows in a dis
pute as to whether good man
should be called 'God-fearing' or
'God-loving' man. Perhaps this is
one of the incidental results, BY
product, so to speak OF Alex. Mil
ler's advice to newspaper men to
read the Bible. We suggest that Hen
Gittinger of the Charlton Leader,
Ollie Hull of the Leon Reporter and
Hold. Barnes of the Abba Republican
arbitrate this matter and give a de-
cisioni that may carry weight and
authority"
Casey, your jury isn't a fair one
at all, and you know it. OF course,
Gittinger and Hull, running democrat
papers and therefore having had
experience in the glowing" end of
this dispute, would render two to
one decision against Barnes who has
been running republican paper for
10 these many years and who is there
