OF Lne DEVIL
Froid Mont, Feb. 2, 1926.
Editor Of the Producers News,
PlentywoOd, Mont.
Dear Sir:
VIII you please allow space for a
needed correction, where the wrong
impression was given in your col
umnS? 1t was my intention to pass
this up, but since you referred to
MERCER, and Bryan last week, also
to some sentimentalists, who had tax
en- exception to certain statements
made in an editorial by Mencken and
yourself. If by sentimentalists, you
include me, l am here to say | am
still one. As you know the writer
is one who took exceptions to just GER
tain statements in the above mention
ed editorial on Bryan. In setting up
the article, or answer, which was
made to Mr. Mencken, very mislead-
ing heading was given in the news
columns, for the reason that it gave
a false impression, in that l was de
Tending Bryan in his wavering,
money-cOntrOlled, life of we'll known
hypocrisy. Never have / been known
to defend knowingly, a tyrant, or OPP
preSsor of the poor, and a careful re-
reading of the letter written by my
self will reveal the fact that the sole
object of my reply to Mr.. Mencken
was not only against hypocrisy in
every form and place, but also against
garbling the news or truth in any
manner, so as to give a different col
or or meaning.
In all that was said by myself, in
defense of Bryan's long career, only
twice did / concede to him by his
talks and acts any thing that wculd
prove he had some principle left, and
surely there is none so pure and per-
feet that they need not have mercy
shown at some time, for he that deals
without mercy will be dealt with,
without mercy. No where in my COM
munication can any one find one word
in defense Of Bryan as a noble Chris
tan, or a defender of an oppressed
people, on the other hand, the meat
of my letter was for honesty, Justice,
truth and mercy.
One of my accusations against
Mencken was not for telling the truth
on Bryan but for violating rules Of
common decency by dragging in lit
tie personal affairs, as to a mans
hair, clothes and personal makeup
As it is the whole human race is so
fallen, yes fallen and degraded as a
whole, after more than 5000 years of
9evoluting downward, that principle
alone should be the ruling factor in
passing judgment. As in your late
criticism of MERCER, those are hard,
cold, stern facts dealing with truth,

SPORTSMAN PARK. ST. LOUIS.
Oct. 5.-You hear much of this
thing called baseball frenzy. Here
you have it in living example.
Howling, shrieking, pushing mobs
that recognize no police officer and
admit of no regulated authority.
Bombs, banners and bugles-
whistles blowing; horns footing
frantically; sirens that shriek and
wall and shrek again; everywhere
clamor, and din, and confusion-St.
Louis has gone suddenly mad-mad
with joy, and enthusiasm. and
pride.
The demonstration eliminated to-
day with the first mad rush toward
ball park that is all too small
to accommodate the thousands of
faithful fans who hope against
hope to push themselves into
space already damned to capacity.
The police Gordon stretched about
the park battled helplessly to stave
off the rushing thousands who
continued to come on. Ten thous-
and of that milling, pushing throng
will eventually find seats and see

the Cards have established a clear

Another Of those mighty iron

Ohio state University here as Head
Coach Dr.. John w Wilce buckles
to the business of shaping his four
teenth straight Scarlet and Gray
entry in the Western Conference
competition
When complete, the 1926 model
should be calculated TO travel

TO- DR.. Wilce and his principal aids,
"Swede" Oberlander, late headlnor
at Dartmouth and Sam Willaman,
recruited from Ames, surely are
blessed with high-poWered material
in the 81 huskies comprising the
squad.
There isn't a vcstige Of gloom
lurking about the Ohio field de-
spite numerous losses from the
1925 team by graduation or other
causes. Every veteran gridir0n
strategist knows that replace
ments are compulsory each cam
paign and the Buckeyes are
usually fortunate to high degree
in obtaining splendid substitute
material.

the Scarlet and Gray there need
be no hesitancy in predicting that
they'll be right up near The top of
the heap when the curtain descends
