The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1915-06-25

Oh bOyCe idslOT. lHiS man whose
chief business is to lecture groups
of shiftless negroes on the streets of
McHenry, on the value of the dol
lar. .... .l.
Not too the fiippant and irrevelent
way Davis treats the question of re-
ligion, this young man with the up
lift. DO you notice any enthusiastic
socialists christian workers in the
churches? II not why not? Read
the Socialist press as I have for the
last FIVE years and find the answer
Show me Socialist that speaks well
of the ministry.
Show me a Socialist or socialist
paper that speaks we'll of the law or
of our government. Show me an
instance in which socialist journal
has ever Endorsed the punishment #
any criminal even though he be
self-confessed criminal
do not believe as some noted So
cialists contend that the best people
are born of illegitimate intercourse
nor do believe that the worst chill
dren are born of lawful wedlock. In
answer to questions l will say I am
/ for my country and her institutions
as / find them with such changes in
them as wisdom and experience may
dictate. Can you socialists say as
much?
Though not agreeing with the
President in politics, l am with him
hand and heart in the present cri-
sis.
/ am for law and order thus far
and no farther. do not agree with
some leading Socialists who would
would do away with all government.
State and National as Haywood.
Owen disposes of the doctrine of
future punishment by writing an
ina ginary epitaph which he says the
friends of lost soul would not want
written on his monument! They
propose to cure the evils of intemper-
ance by removing the profit from the
liquor traffic. They have discovered
that intemperance does not produce
poverty, but that poverty produces
intemperance, in other words men
drink because they are poor but are
not poor because they drink. Such
silly prattle carries with it its own |
REPUTATION, hence l merely state it |
and leave it at that.
Finally, the preachers of the coun-
try should apply in person, at least !
once a month, to Bob Owen, Nc
Henry, KY, and get charged with a
new supply of Gospel truth. Bob
will stop lecturing the negroes on the
value of the dollar long enough to
tell the preachers what they ought
to preach.
Exeunt brother Cundiff, note what
disdain the irate old man closes thh
discussion with, me. And look, too,
how threateningly he signs his

but William Henry Cundiff.
Adieu brother Cundiff.
Do not scorn me brother Cundiff,
do not. Say that you love me not,
but say not so in madness.
Brother Cundiff says / have moth

Be that as it is. be-
lieve the public will give me credit
for having as much character as the
man who by reason of his shiftles-
ness has nothing material to his
own credit, but who wants to organ

by mob force what his neighbor
honestly earned by industry and econ

Tom Eaton once said of DR.. S. III. II
FORD that one of the mysteries of this n
world is how any man could know as
much as DR.. Ford, but the Doctor had =
lever heard of William Henry Cum
Tiff, r. A. Davis and Bob Owen.
Oh, the unexpected mystery of it!
