One day the captain thought he
would co something to get the
mate to quit drinking so he wrote
in the leg book: Dec. 10. 1910
mate drunk today. When the
mate became sober he noticed
this and asked the captain why
he should be put IN the log book.
The captain replied, els is true.

will let the the record stand.''
This aggravated the mate and he
was wondering how he could get
even. Finally he wrote in the los
book: Captain not drunk today.
When the captain saw this he
asked why he sould write such a
thing in the log book. The mate
replied, ut is true, is it not ?"
Yes" ''Then let the record

Record Gets in Bad With League

Sometime ago, the Roberts CO.
Record, nEinted quite lengthy
story ofLeo Houde, a we'll known
farmer, had said that Big BIZ
had slipped one over on the Lea

out to get the League in bad.
In this issue appears signed
letter from Mr.. Houde, in which
he shows the Record up as MAX
ing him say things he had never
uttered.
Editor Harrington has seen
his mistake and has attempted
to square himself, but from what
Mr.. ,Houde's letter says, Earring
ton bit off just a bit too much
this time. Even if Farrington's
attempt to square himself had
been accepted by Mr.. Houde, he
still would have the majority of
the farmers of Roberts County
to settle up with.

LEO HOUDE GIVES FACTS
ON ARTICLE in RECORD
sisseton, So. Oak.
Feb. 3, 1920

Dear Editor:
Sometime ago the N. Effing-
ton Record came out with q state
ment to the effect that | had said
that you were hired by Big Biz,
to get the league in bad. Now,
the statement that the Record
had me say, was not my words at
all, and furthermore I have never
said anything to that effect. La.
ter, however, the Record has
come out with q mild retraction.
But if the Record believes in be-
ing, anywheres near on the
square, it will come out with the
truth OF what my statements a.
mounted to. The truth is, thai
while in conversation with w. l.
Johnson, former publisher and
editor OF the Standard, Mr.. John
son said to me, in the presence of
Geo. Crosby and Joe Robbie,
both OF Sisseton, that Smiley
WAS hired by Big Biza sent
here from Duluth. The Record
however, does not seem TO be N
cllned to come out with the truth
CT even a part OF the truth with
outstainting it with sonnet hing to
help along the rest OF the kept
press, and is keepers.
Harrington may be able to use
a few OF his own style ia framing
up rot TO be used against the Lea
cue, but SO far as | am concerned
my name can be left out Of that
stuff.
At the time that | was in con-
versation with Harrington, the
conversation wherein Earring
ton made NE out an nlposter, I
was not acquainted with NJ.
Smiley, but 1 happened to meet
Mr.. Smiley of late, and was sad
ly disappointed not to find the
T. w. W., BolsllevilS characteris-
tics in him that Harrington has
credited him with, and [ really
believe, in fact | will bet on it,
/ if the two men were put TO an eli
gibility test, Mr.. Smiley would
be far in the rear in running for
Ambulance to the |. w. w. and
Bolshevik.
Hoping this may clear up the
false condition that the Record
has created, in regards to myself,
and reasserting my absolute fl
deity to the League, and assur-
ing you of my desire for the
truth, l am yours,

Old GANG CHOOSES MUD

We are getting pretty we'll call
Foused to the mud singing that
is being employed by the old
gang as q means Of fighting the
League. We expect a lot Of it in
the coming campaign, but we are
mot letting our feelings betray
ourselves into answering in
kind. The other fellows being
better acquainted and more FAM
liar with and close to the res
ervoirs of mud, and filth and UNI
cleanliness, viii naturally use
the material nearest them to
throw at us; SO chat we must ex-
Ipect a campaign of gross misre-
presentation ard all the vile i'm
|aginings OF the peanut minded
politicians. We shall only reply
to them with q clear and solemn
statement of facts and let the
people Judge beween them and
us. Mud singing and vitupration
Invariably react on the user, and
the man has not been discovered
|yet who can throw mud without
getting his own hands bedaubed.
Among the American people,
|right and decency will surely win
in the long run. We are sure that
we are right and we know we are
decent, and so we are sure that
our cause will triumph.
In the late war, the spawn Of
the beast. deliberately engaged.
in the practice Of the most damn
able methods Of pure savagery
in an attempt to terrorize the
world and bring disrnay and
fear TO the stoutest hearted.
They did terrorize the world
and they did bring disnay, and
fear bat greatly to their sur
prise he terrorized did not flee
nor supinely yield to the frey
breath OF the great dragon. Sc
cure i'll the power Of justice and
right the terror only urged
them on to greater and ever
greater endeavor until they be-
came superman in their fight a.
galnst the Deast and his bestial
methods SO 1T shall be with our
army of leaguers, members of
labor and all who take part i'm
the battle for human progress
The more bestial the opposition
becomes, the closer shall we
draw together and the greater
the inspiration we shall. find to
fight and again fight until the
rank beast of class oppression is
utterly beaten and destroyed.
Being an advocate of political
action as the means to reform.
we have written repeatedly a.
gainst direct action as the UNI
profitable method, opposing the
|. w. w. and all other organiza-
lions which advocate methods
outside the law, as a means of
reform, but we would indeed
feel ashamed of ourselves as A.
merican citizens did we not pro-
test with any means at our COM
mand the attempts, frequently
made, to injure people or doc
trine by the unscruplous meth
DDS that are being so often en-
ployed. And as people flock to us
telling us that the politicians
are urging the American Legion
to fight us, we cannot refrain
from thinking that there is
truth in what We are being told.
The same methods are even be-
ing used against the hide-bcund
democratic administration, ina
somewhat milder form.
The question is, will the ex-
service men continue to fall for
that stuff. We are not surprised,
however, that these politicians
will stoop to the sacrilege of
making the Centralia murder,
material to be mixed in with the
filth of the reservoir of mud
which they so abundantly pos
sess.
