that such a statement was a plain
and that any one that said so was
liar. Mr.. Greer said he for one mae
that statement, and in response to
, the County Superintendent advise
: Mr.. Greer that he was included in Il
statement. Whereupon Attorney Gree
vowed that he and Pappenfus woul
get even with the League in the RAY
mond territory and would herd hi
herd of mortgage horses in that terri
tory.
We were rather amused to see tina
Attorney Greer and Pappenfus ha
been instrumental in getting GU
famous 10 Dolin to print this and Civ
it publicity, and in fact we are in
deed inhibited to these people for do
ing that since we had considerable
timidity in giving this proper publ
city. We expect that these peopl
would have been highly pleased i
this Office had bounced upon some
poverty striker person with no pres
tlge in the eyes of the public. Sucl
is not our nature. Our highest de
sire is to see that every boy and cir
is properly educated and from the
standpoint of revenge and spite there
Is nothing more revengeful than to
see that the future generation would
be educated SO thoroughly that they
could see the wrong in the so-called
progressives. We feel-that when our
forefathers founded and shaped this
nation that they desired it, the funda-
mental need Of democracy, to main
tain universal free education to all.
and that it was absolutely right and
that no democracy can be maintained
without it. In fact democracy is a
farce and menace without it's citi-
zens being properly educated. These
laws were not passed by so-called
fanatics nor has the law governing
education and attendance in Montana
been passed by a League Legislature,
but the laws were completely revised
by the last legislature by one of the
most rock-ribbed reactionary sets of
but still we agree with
the law and intend to enforce it and
would suggest that those, and in par
5lcular, Mr.. Pappenfus, ATTORNEY
Greer and Joe Dolin, that they would
follow out the advice to liberals,
hat if they don't like the laws of
Uncle Sam they had better go back
% the country from whence they
came. Following out this suggestion
t might be well for Pappenfus to go
Jack to Canada. We, of course, are
ully aware that Master Dolin and
Master Greer find the law very con-
.enient at times, but they seem to
ind some way or another to get !
Lround the inconvenient laws and are
cry strong for the laws that are fav-
rably convenient for themselves.
The writer expected that he was
ut Of political squabbles since he had
retired from any political
flee and have only by persuasion Of
many friends acquired enough enthu-
iasm to reply to these Infamous dis
ortions as was the case with the Pho
eer Press and its Editor. This
night, however, be a case where they
ave been wrongly informed and for
hat benefit we are giving you the
acts.
We recall two years ago after the
lection when the writer was elected
D the office that he now holds, that
e was accused Of every Infamous act
{ which anyone could possibly have
cen accused, and that in replying at
nat time he offered a reward of
5, 200 to anyone, friend or foe, that
ould prove that anything stated in
lie Plentywood Pioneer Press in re-
ard to the matter was the fact. We
ave as yet not been called upon to
reduce our offered reward, and this
4st thing has not sufficiently wor-
ed the writer to pay any attention
} it because the public is plainly
ware of the unreliability Of that pa
er. We recall also a transaction :
ade by Attorney Greer that has not
lown an American, spirit for educa-
on, when writing up bond issue for
le Fleetwood school district Mr..
reer saw fit to charge $4,000 for
at work which amounts to the sal
y paid a teacher for one months
struction to thirty Or forty children,
nile the writer wrote up the same
nds for $500 for the Raymond dis
let thus saving enough to furnish
struction for school, the type Of
e one Pappenfus sent his children,
r whole month or more and we
call the last trial of Mr.. Joe Dolin
regard to his printing contract in
e district court that he had claim
ainst the county for something
e $4,000 per thousand for some
oklets for teachers examinations
d We have a letter from the State =
Co. at Helena, Montana, :
r the same booklets for $500 per
ousand. These actions by the self
lied patriots are certainly unAmeri-
n and in spirit criminal toward our t
;titution of democracy in our coun- n
We have briefly stated che condi- Il
rs and have no apology to offer for
r actions and we will, as in the
It, enforce the laws whether we be- M
We or agree with these laws or not
Yours truly,
WILLIAM MOE.
