The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1920-04-14
! MR.. STEWART MAKES
ANOTHER REPLY.

To the Editor of The Breckenridge
News: In reply to yours, Mr.. Bloomer
of March oath, of my rushing in to
print"
AS to the rush." will tell you
later about that
Your statement in regard to me
walking where angels fear to tread,
is the point. Sometimes we all make
mistakes. But if | am mistaken in
this | am still of the same belief, that
is that you have not led me to be-
lieve yet that you are surrounded with
little band of angels. Not yet! What
you saw was just bunch of yellow
winged butterflies and thoroughly
they were angels. Think you should
consult some medical specialist. Sum-
mer will soon be here and you will
be seeing them again shortly.
You admit that the Webster pre-
cinct did not get any money or road
work last year, then admit that man
is fool for entering any protest.
The unerring rule OF highwayman
is to present pistol in your face and
command you to stand still while he
proceeds to go through your pockets
and appropiates your money and val
tables to himself. Your demands and
the highwayman's are a direct parallel
he using the gun, you use the press.
Brings in Law Points.
Further down we find that you say
the 1919 Road Order calls for the ap-
portioning of the tax derived from
said tax to each Magisterial and not
to the different precincts. Law is
founded on reason. Ask some lawyer
and see if this is not correct. When
law says cattle" does it not mean
sheep, hogs, horses, goats or any
thing pertaining to stock? When the
law says "Magisterial District" it does
not mean just one little short line
road, it means any part of the dis
trict. Law does not have to make
note of every Robin Hoods born in
this case. And furthermore your un-
called for comment on my rushing in
TO print" will say that | have had
many favorable COMMUNICATIONS on
same One of the biggest and best
farmers of this community came in
and said, 81 want to congratulate you
shake hands for that piece of yours
in The Breckenridge News. He said
it expressed his views to a dot and
that he had been paying taxes long
time not TO get any good from it.
Records Should Show.
Under your caption, mo Available
Figures" you state that there was
over $4,000 expended in the Fourth
Magisterial District of which Webster
is a part OF this S769 was expended
for graders, plows, tools and culverts.
and over $3.50 for labor teams and
explosives. Then you can't tell
whether any part or portion of this
money was spent in the Webster pre-
cinct or not If you can't give any
better record than that what did you
tell me to come down and go over
the records for If you can't tell who
this money was paid to then how do
you think | could! No sir, Mr..
Skeizicks, am no profit!
Failed to Hear Any Explosions.
What | will tell you is that | have
lived in Webster and the Fourth
Magisterial District most all of my
life, and all last year / was tolerably T,
close at home. | was over a good
many of the roads, not all will admit /
and | never heard a single explosion !
on the roads, never saw a man at work |
for the county never saw a team at |
work for the county, and never saw
a tool bought for the county. If any
person can prove that | did see, hear
or know of any of the afore-mention- /
ed items ! will make an immediate
apology for same.
Air Will Be Quite Warm.
You talk as if you had full authority
Of the apportioning of the road funds
