Editor Review: Mr.. Charles
Jumbling Anderson seemed dis
posed TO unburden his mind to
some extent in breezy and yet
hysterical article in last weeks
Review. The way he lodges
and hedges around the subject
he started out with in the be-
ginning of his articles reminds
one of a chicken that has just
been decapitated- manner
in which he founders here and
there. In the beginning Of his
latest brilliant etfusion he recites
a little poetry, probably in an
effort TO keep his courage up.
Then he leaves me somewhat in
doubt as TO whether il was him
self or one of his ancestors that
was dislodged from a jungle
tree in forest primeval bv some
evil disposed person. Mr.. An
derson's article gives evidence
that he has recently been at
tending the night school he
speaks about. and there is q ray
of hope that If he continues in
his studies with unabated vigor
he may even be able TO under
stand English as il is written in
the city charter. He asks the
writer 10 get an opinion for him
from the city attorney. but |
would prefer that Mr.. Anderson
see the city attorney personally.
as first hand information is by
far the more satisfactory. AS
Mr.. Parker lived in Willamina
for year or two. he probably
understands several languages
and may experience no particu-
lar difficulty in translating the |
section of the city charter refer
red to. TO Mr.. Anderson's COM
plete satisfaction.
But on the subject at issue, !
the cooperage roadway, is where |
Mr.. Anderson wobbles fright !
fully. Sometimes he finds him
self on one side of il and then |
on the other in his aimless fash
ion. and seldom gets upon it.
Literally speaking. he almost |
fell into the river before he
closed his epistle last week.
But once he touched the subject
in a sight degree. He discover
ed that made the remark pre-
that "a legal point
MIGHT have been stretched" i'm
of the roadway TO
the cooperage plant. And il fills
him with unholy glee when he
finds this loop hole" To be
candid with Mr.. Hawkshaw An
derson, there was no legal point
stretched. even in the slightest
degree. and the remark was on
" a bait TO catch suckers"
One was caught, but | will con-
;iderately refrain from mention
ng any names. A legal point
NIGHT have been stretched.
)ut it wasn't. | should have
covered this point in my last ar ,
icle. for | might have known
hat Mr.. Anderson would fall
nto the trap" and probably .
racture his delusions.
Mr.. Anderson glorities the
knocker" as the man who
makes the world go around. and I
hen terms me abusive because
rather plainly intimated that 4
e was one. 1t does seem to be
difficult thing to please some
eople. Mr.. Anderson states I
hat his friends tell him that
hey fail to find any attack on q
he cooperage plant in his arti-
les. Surely these friends are
lost considerate. and their dis
should be greatly APP e
reciated by Mr.. Anderson. I,
Mr.. Anderson uses much space !
/ which Indians. foreigners, u
indus, Commercial Club. Rock G
teller. Carnegie. Tom Word and "
he Cation tract are hopelessly "
,mmingled, and then follows it N

andle brigades and bouquets. L
robably this is what Mr.. An m
