THE ISSUE CR.4 U'FISHES

The Issue announces that it not going to pay any further at
ances and is but to be expected when the company it is keseping is
considered. When cornered, it is a very convenient way to dispose
of an embarrassing situation.
The Issue made certain charges against Gov. Brewer and dehed
in detail, incidentally throwing a few peppers into The Issues cpl
dermis; how we'll we executed the job, we leave to the public to
say.
But just another word or two about the bill of particulars The
Issue lodged against the Governor: The Issue stated that Gov.
Brewer was chairman of the board of trustees of the Insane Hospi-
tai and that he appointed Iuhey steward. Its Ignorance, animated
terance. The Issue would dance fl we're true, but the law elimi
Brewsr be became Governor nc eTrreo Wv was IS nominated HS Steward pauSt BY a e% su
perintendent of the Insane Hospital not named by the Governor.
The Issue charged Coy. Brewer with being responsible for the
out Of the state and did not know Turley had been indicted until af
ter The venus had been changed The Issue then alleged that Gov

Will The Issue deny that the Senate had amended the bill fixing the
date Of its operation Jan. l, 1918 and that Gov. Brewer was respon-
sibe for having the date moved up two months2 The plain propo-

any canister that would demolsh Brewer, it would exhibit it with
slaughtered meats. We challenge The Issue to show ii. 1t hasn't
got it. Hints at salacious stories and threats are not going to deter
Brewer from what he conceives to be his duty, and save the bunch
who haye been untruet to the people and whom The Issue is trying
The Issue laid down its specifications and fairly dared us to
meet them. We met them; we answered The Issue challenge, but
10! The Issue is not. We reproduced what it stated about US, which
was what IT asked, and commonj justice would demand that il. live up
to the standard 1t asks of Others and reproduce in its columns our
answer. But no, The Issue prefers the methods CT the bushwhacker
to that of the true soldier. 1t chooses to fire from ambush rather
than look its adversary in the tace. 1t shows the characteristics of
that little animal that bedaubles the banks of streams of water and
which scurries into Its quarters gable end foremost, at the sight of
any approaching object, The Issue fees and as it beats a retreat it
shreks "Blbo' and the campaign of 1911, a thing about which, &C
cOding to its well established habit, 1t utters but half a truth.
The Issues declaration to pass the Sentinel by is not going to
save it from our attention when We think the public good demands
that Its tergiversatons be given attention.
We appreciate the fact that The Issue is on crutches, and we
are not unmindtu! of that beautiful lesson taught is not to smite
those who are down, but inasmuch as it is trying to masquerade in
the cast off garments of someone else, those at a distance might be
mistaken as to the sound of its voice, and even cripples may become
a menace to the health and peace of the community.
