An Exploded Philosophy

The subordinate editorial writer of
the Weekly Item splashed a near col
umn OF sop on PAGE 1 OF the Item last
week. In reply | am only sorry to
to state, that, if the Item had any
reach the readers OF voters OF Grant
County. nothing would please the
writer better then to buy space in it
and answer my friends Bonehead re-
buttle on the J.. r. Birch article.
First l shall ask my friend to purchase
a dictionary, and If he has no funds
to borrow n Sorry hat an infants
language should bother a d. G.. l..
On the whole my opponents reply ist
stronger in admission then in denial,
Glad the salt was all salt in the J. Il.
Birch article, and that the salt did
reach the abrasion of the editorial
writer's cuticle which is so thin tina
the salt smarted. Some feeling what?
Further the editorial writer must have
a very inferior ard dwarfed mind, or
being paid for the slush which he
writes that appears in the Item from
time to time, with idea bat the people
are going to take any stock in what
he says. Your poisoned arrows, such
as YOU sling has been shot around
only on very small territory and not
one of them have ever injured anyone
in the least. Ii you possessed the IN:
telligence of an ordinary bull frog you
cOnld see far enough to know that,
and nothing that YOU say or do or
any other inferior person who would
sell his soul for 30 cents can do or say
will or can prevent 1t.
Restrained by Ethics: | shall he as
brief as possible not knowing the Ed
itors initials, He takes up the Blind
Pig question and the Albee reformers
So in answer to that will ask
Who had Blind Pigs in the years Of
l9ll-19Io and 1913, Albee or Revillo?
Who sent young Men to Kill or Cure
| Hospital in Minneapolis in the past
wear, Albee or Revillo? Revillo.
Who lived or rather, resided in RevillO
at that time? The very same people
that live there now? Yes the same
| would be Gentleman who makes a
| splash in the item at this time and did
| he guard against blind pigs and other
iawless institutions? No his mind was
ever dwarfed at that time and he was
blind and had no friends to tell him
such lawless institutions as Blind
Pigs existed in his town. Yes Joseph
was blind. Joseph believed in Faith.
and Faith tells him about this fire n
birthstone business and forty rod
whiskey etc. Or blister must have
bursted on Joseph's head and thus
the splash on page 4 OF the Revillo
Item and the conglomeratiOn OF mat
ter. He speaks about the Jungle of
words that was out in the pattern to
fit a certain person. Why id he
not use the words Brushwood or Birch
wood? His dwarfed mind could not
find a word. We are glad the Item
copied the J.. r. Birch article, as this
good LOlitics for next fall. | hove
the Item and | can agree on a debate,
Subject, Has John Birch made a rec
ord? each contender of the points to
be discussed in a live and lucid news
paper published in the county, so that
we can consider the men and make
comparisons of character and standing
so far as possible We want 1st alb
solute honesty; md stength OF charac-
ter: Bird general ability. and 4th the
freedom from communicating influence
Let us make a business not a spoil
of town, city county and state govern
ment. Certainly J. Il. Birch is not
the mar to clean the augeau stable.
Thanking the item for the free adver.
Using Albee and certain men are get
ting in the 2SO Birch controversy
and the admission Of the allegation
made in the Birch article to stand as
a record. Also recognizing me as a
gentleman in conclusion of his splash
work.
