for spite work.

A sccold time you mistake in
accusing us of "STARTING" a
fight on Knight.
Look up your Democrat of
July 11th and you will find some
thing that might be called a
STA RTER. That was two
weeks before our salutatory.
The Herald as stated, hasn t
made a fight on any one, and
isn't going to. AS also stated
before, we are leaving Knight
for others to work with and pray
over, while we go out after some
more big game-meaning repub-
lican, democratic and social
ist subscribers,
Gou say that there is no use
holding out any bait to the so
cialists, but we beg to differ with
you. We believe that Il decert
wide-a wake, up-to-date news
paper-chuckful of news and
good things from top to bottom
and bottom to top, is bait that
will get the socialists along with
the other good people OF the coun-
ty, and that in fact they will be
hopping mad if we don't keep
right on giving them the bait
We thank you for the spirit of
brotherly love in which you
wrote, aud have triedto reply in
the same good spirit.

A CloSiEg Talk With CLARK.


you back again, even thoussh it
took you two weeks to{fnale the
round trip.
You have heard about beating
around the BUSH. Considering
the time you have been gone, it
must have been an awful big
bush you went around; and from
the distance you have travelled
taking in Blaine on the circuit,
it would seem that you would
have brought something home
with you.
But as is always the case with
those who so around the bush,
Mr.. Clark, you fail to come to
the point, which is wheJherr
Knight did make the offer to the
socialists, as sworn to by Isaac
McCollom, or whether he did not
A second time you try to lead
to the impression, bya whole lot
of around -the-bush talk, that he
did not, but you are careful not
to come outand say So.
AS a fact, you would better
have left it as you had it before.
You are now putting the social
list offer to knight, as i counter
offer to Knight's.offer ID them.
We will now Bate tlR PROPOSE
ton as you would havel,he public
believe it: 'rhat Knights offer
was that the socialists sho.3 abuy
1'him aS4UU plant, and he would
be their typo for five years, after
which he would give the social
lists the option of buying the
plant, or before that time if
Knight wanted to sell.
How do you think that that
proposition looks on the face of
| it?
Here is the proposition. when
stripped of its verbiage, yol act
ually return with from that long
two weeks meandering around
the bush: That the socialists
met to consider knights ctfer
and decided on counter offer,
which was for Joe Wilkins to be
editor and manger and Knight to
do the mechanical work down in
the basement; and upon this
rock the ship of state-knight's
offer, struck, foundered, and
went down.
That is how the public will un-
stand the matter If this i'm
preston is wrong, all you or any
one else has to do is to make the
statement that Knight never
made the Offer to 5he socialists
as set forth in the McCollom afti-
davit, and then go before Il nota-
ry to cinch the statement; and as
stated before, such an affidavit
will put some one on the high
road to Che peniteI,tiary.
You mistake in assuming that
the Herald accused you of such
vulgar talk" The Herald in
timated that it didn't believe you
put that in there, and it is of the
same opinion still.
You also mistake in the tin-can
affair. You never saw the state
ment attributed to the editor of
the Herald in any of his writings.
Just please knock at the next
door and you will find the feller
you are after.
You are in error as 70 the signi
fication Of the word Vulgar" as
commonly applied, as to it's be
ing slang" As commonly ap
piled, it is such language as
would bar publication from the
mails, and send those responsi-
BILE for the publication over the
road if it were sent through the
mails.
You repeat that it is against
the socialist creed to tear down
anyone. Wonder if you mean
that to apply solely to the ScrIbes
and Pharisees, and not to those of
the socialist faith. 1t seems
wrong to have the publ: know
the facts about Knights offer to
run socialist paper. but alright
to have it believe that McCollom
swore to what was not true-just

He said he had noticed class stu

remarked.
Abjures Strikes.
Flynn explained that the object of
organizing the trades of Richmond was
not TO take unfair advantage Of en-
ployers; it was merely a recognition
of an economic necessity.
We will not organize for the pur-
pose of going out on strikes. There
is nothing organized labor dislikes
more than strikes, but they are, how
ever, valued as convenient weapons
to obtain our just deserts" he said.
The speaker went on to say that he

in going on strike when they did.
But what kind of judgment can you
expect of men getting only IS cents

that they could get living wages

While Mr. Bishop believes that the

to take out permits to work, is an eX

examination of the school enumera

of pupils not attending school, and
having no permits. He believes that
