THE VANDAL

Where'er the German soldier walks,
destruction, like his shadow, stalks. He
comes upon some old-world town, on which
the ages have looked down, a town, per-
haps, whose crumbling walls were builded
by the ancient Gauls, as protection for
their home against the conqueror from
Rome. All legended and gray with age
the German wrecks it in his rage, and
strews the storied buildings round, in
blackened ruins, on the ground. The grand

F0OllK6 HIS READERS

No one is more appreciative
Of good-natured,and legitimate
comeback or the getting of one
cover on us" by the other fellow
than is the editor of the Herald,
but we are growing somewhat
weary of the nauseating attempts
of the Sentinel man to do so by
whole. cloth fabrications and VIC
iuus misrepresentation.
Last week, in speaking of the
Pueblo Chieftian's bad write-up
of Baca County, the Sentinel, in
wondering who was responsible
says, "Konkel last week let the
cat out of the bag. He says AL
Va Swain, who is q close reader
of the Herald did it."
The truth of the allegation
the Herald said not one single
word about the Chieftian's write
up of Baca county, or any body
else's write-up of Baca county.
The only reason we can con-
ceive why Jones should indulge
such fabrications ia that he pre-
sumes he can fool a few people
who are not subscribers Of this
paper.
It's all right for Jones tn jump
onto the Herald, but we would
appreciate tiff his sence of pri-
priety could be somewhat cir
cumscribed by the facts in the
case. and ii he could consistently
come to realization of the fact
that fabrications and misrepre-
stations are not good assets,
even where conclusive Of a tenn
porary advantage.
