Well, Knocker has appeared
on the scene again, after about a
month delay.
He has had time with the aid
that presume he had) to reverse
the constitution of kentucky.
He charges T. P. with inconsis-
tency.
The old saying goes that the
thief is always first to accuse the
the other fellow of stealing.
Just so with the inconsistent
man.
Consistency is a jewel, but to
be consistent, in short, is to talk
and act on principle in every
thing. Otherwise we are only
limitations like the jewels in a
Waterbury watch. Ihave always
tried to be consistent, and am
still trying to be so. Yes Mr..
Knocker, | frankly forgive you
for the epithets that you hurled
at me, concerning my God my
Religion, etc., knowing that you
we're ignorant Of what you were
saying. always allow people to
say any thing about me that they
chose to say, and | just consider
the source, and pass it bv. Take
a Retrospective view of the ages
gone, and you will see kings, po-
tentates etc., deposed and ruined
and and nations fallen to decay
all on the account of a prevailing
idea etc., like unto the ideas Fair
Play says Knocker. That is on
assertion without any proof to
back it. Fair Play has only beer
contending against extravaganza
and class legislation. Who ever
heard of a king or nation, being
deposed OF. falling, for opposing
extravagant legislation, or for
doing any thing that was right?
They fell because of their wick
edness. King Ahab, robbed a
poor man of all he had, and God
let his enemes kill him for SO
doing. King Pharaoh oppressed
the children of Israel and God
set a deadfall in the Red sea and
caught him. King Herod being
pulled up with pride, and after
putting some of his Gods people
to death, made a great Grafton on
his birthday, and God sent an
army of worms, and they finish
ed him. This was all on the ac-
count Of their wickidness
Knocker Says that those things
happened to kings, potentates,
etc., for advancing ideas similar
to the ideas of Fair Play. Is
that consistency No but flat
contradiction of Gods word
Fair Play deties Knocker, or any
other man to show one single case
where any King, potentate Oh
prelate, or nation that was ever
cast down, or destroyed for op-
posing extravagant legislation.
That is all that Fair Play has
been contending against.
Fair Play has never said a six
months term would injure the
mind of the child, but that sil
months was long enough to ed
cate any bright mind, and thai
country children running through
mud and water one and one-hali
miles in winter was unreason
able. If all lived in towns anC
cities it would be immaterial as
to the length Of the school term.
Children who live in the country
can't afford to wade mud and
water one to two miles and en-
danger their health for the pet
ty amount Of good deriven. II
