A ROTTEN PIECE OF BUNK

A~AN~-- OS~'~-
yRY does of the most sensational brand
give itself radical and less truthful article than
that which recently appeared the Denver Post under the heading
Gland Hit Exodrs and which, while pretending to be
of returned boys of the and navy, really
unpovokd the u forestry system the brave
forth the defenders world democracy simply
shield and suggesting nothing of real value to them when the
veil lifted and the mask off exposing their bombasc
utterances and selfish motives
The article do with protest that going Wash
from the ockmen and farmers from all the land against
the transfer of forest lands of the the department of the
interior is alleged that if the transfer made thousands of
fertile within forest would be thrown
homestead and placed the disposal the returning Yans
who have service in behalf of their country.
The sounds all right to those who do not know the facts
There of soft senmentaliy running through the
article have weight with those who susceptible
such gush than to reason and facts
why does the Post choose to put the soldier who has
already borne his share of the battle and suffered quite enough be
the Post and the shafts of opposition and cue which would
be hurled towar it if the issue squarey and honestly putt
Doesn't the nowof knows and other people
ought to knowtha when homestead for the returned
soldiers simply playing the galleries and suggesting nothing
privilege that already theirs opportunity that not al
ready open them other citizen who wants avail him
self of piece of Uncle Sans domain?
The fact that better lana than to be found tire forests lies
although susceptible homestead by the returning soldiers
other citizens The forest department has during the e"
eliminated from forest Of the best of their lands
find still untouched by homeseades
else they have been filed on and aten after the
found that he could not make living the tract
The effort of the sensational above referred be
to unload on the poor soldier under the use
favor brick of pewter value But the article not bright
deceptive enough dazzle the the ordinary sol
der who thinks 1t toward friendship and for
the soldier that that those but
will right through it. 1t opportunity stab the forest
through the Yankee soldier but the motive quite
to know ways this disreputable
No demand made that anything the soldier
that which histhe right homestead
ment land practically wherever he find either within with
forest boundary yet that privilege for the
soldier ee but right which has existed for
this paper wants be honest and toward
patriotic desire help the soldier why doesn't it right
in the and advocate that in addition the doubtful
privilege of taking homestead he be furnished by the
with sufficient of money annually for five
years improve the property and make of real home
The article fails that
the forest included in public
ject to entry and nobody them The ordinary soldier civil
Jan cannot afford to take them gift while the
guarding and protecting the people the and the future
in that the department of the interior attempted
and that the of the real attack the forest
The Post article sham and deison written by man
Il either ignorant the dishonest the facts
the public and pefs hide under the of the soldier
while making dirty and unwaranted attack of the most
important departments of the federal government
