DAN MILESTONE of the Cut
Rank Pioneer Press, is out on an
other rampage about Sheridan cOun-
~. which he styles the home of
aWid men," HardbOiled EditOrs,"
and Bearded Barbarians." He
quotes, in extensO. our article which
lightly touches on the conspiracy ex-
isting between a foreign corporation
and some local diehard politicians
10 defraud the county out of sever
al thousands Of dollars. and them
remarks that 'hOstilities seem to
have commenced with the spring
thaw. But. Dan. with a touch of
Menekin-like philosophy, says the
events recOunted in the Producers
News constitute a welcome relief
from the dull drab mOnOtOny of the
Daily Press. We hope Dan will find
time TO "lOOk us over next summer.
We will see to it that the Bearded
Barbarians" do not indulge in any
cannabalistic mouth exercises on the
soft parts of Dams anatomy when
he calls. Uncle Sam Hampton, is
another editor who is indulging in
another NesuviOus-like eruption
about the editor Of the Producers
News. He charges that we "have
entered into an unhOly alliance with
the Clark millions" and threaten to
upset tho political equilibrium of the
stat. Sam is mad because we are
showing that his senatorial idols
have feet Of clay.

approaches men drop into the office
OF the Producers News and ask what
attitude this paper takes in the
forthcoming city election. The ans
Wer they receive is that the Pro-
ducers News is content to allow

they are doing now. That is their
business. We believe in self deter

Wen as anybody else. They should

'aeir economic interests and mental
shortcomings entitle them t.. Per.
sonaliy we agree with Thomas JEFF.
