Shoots It's Wad

The Pioneer Press last week sho
its wad.
1t had been planning on doing this
Tor quite spell.
In fact, we had been informe,
some time ago, that little Joe wa,
spending considerable of the pel1
OF which ne had plundered the coun.
~ in frenzied and vain attempt
% hang something on the editor Of
sne Producers News.
he had spent his time and money
IN vain, and being peeved at his bad
auck, he is forced to resort to lust
plain lying in order to make an an.
4pearance of delivering his long
promised expose.
1t surely is hard luck for the LITTLE
county charge.
In the leading editorial in the
-Ploneer Press last week, which con-
stltnte" for the most part, a fab
aacated tissue of falsehood, the fol-
iew1ng falsehood was alleged:
Charles E. Taylor, editor of
the Producers News and acInow-
lodged leader of the organized
farmers movement in Sheridan
county, was at one time a resi-
dent of the city of Buffalo, wy
oming. The fact that Taylor
carefully concealed his Buffalo
experience from his readers,
when he gave the public an edi-
forlal history of himself during
the late political campaign, is
of peculiar significance. This
history was published in the
columns Of the farmers paper
IN a defensive reply to an article
that appeared in the Pioneer
Press, which carried the state
qent that Taylor was socialist
al that his record was and had
been # q very shady variety"
The reaar viii notice that thu
Pioneer Press ays that in publish
ing the editoria. entitled, "Ouf
Former Address" TT the editor Of
the Producers News neglected :,
state that he had resided in BGrlo
wyoming for the short space of fix
years. Let US see whether or NJ
the Pioneer Press told the truth.
We quote as follows from the ed
torial, sour Former Address,:
eve have lived at Portland, Or,
gon, at Riverside, California, the
back to st. Paul, then we took up
homestead at Big Falls, Minnesot.
then we went TO BUFFALO, WY
DINING, WHERE WE RESIDE
FOR FIVE YEARS, and then v
went back to Aitkin, Minnesota, an
resided there, at McGregor, for tt
past three years Or until last sprin,
when our brother who was farmin
with us was called to the color
when we left the farm, offered OIL
services to the Nonpartisan Leagr
and was sent to Plentywood, Sher
dan county, Montana, to edit tt
Producers News"
Just how close the Pioneer Pre-.
can keep to the truth or rather no
far it can keep away from it, is we
illustrated in the above excerpts. n
further charge of fiction is nece
Sary.
Then again, the Pioneer Press say
this editor was minister at or
time and was unfrocked for immo,
atty.
The allegation that this writer We
ever a member of the sacerdotal ella
is surely humorous, even, withou
doubt, to little Joe.
The whole editorial of "Tayle
and the Innkeeper" can be judged 9
to the truthfulness. from the aboy
statements.
The editor of the Producers New
has lived in Plentywood now for O,
er year; the life that he has live
here is a fair sample Of the life
lived prior to coming here.
Everything takes qualities frol
comparison.
The character of the editor of tn
Producers News may be good or ba,
depending with what it is compare,
He will leave it for the public t
decide as to whether it does not glo,
with quality when placed along sid
of the character of the man who pull
fishes the Pioneer Press.
