r,o .+orv If the robbery of the Gala
- hos heon fold. it is hoped SO that
[Ir'a1~ rnader understands the facts. The
oI1e1ations made in the Producers News IN
+ho fret story have been substantlated. IL
l. nnrhaps the foulest and most wicked
deed ever recorded in this section OF the
West.
Practically everybody in Sheridan coun-
+v and adjoining counties have read the
story. It is matter of discussion IN every
household. The farmers are aroused over
the dastardlv crime as they have never
been aroused before. Public sentiment IN
this section has never before been so uni
fled on any matter, as it is IN THIS case
This case exposes the practices or bankers
and mortgage sharks, it tears the 1alse
whiskers from their hypOcritlcal faces as
M other incident has ever done The farm
ers and workers and most of the business
men denounce the Union Central Life In
surance Company in one voice and tone.
Now what is to be done about the
matter?
Are the farmers going to stand by and
see this robbery accomplished? Are they
going to see the Galatians driven from this
county empty handed and impoverished?
We can't believe that they will!
The Holiday Association and the Pro
ducers News took up the fight for the
Galatians on the basis of pure principle.
The Galatians had never belonged TO the
Holiday Association or any other such Or
ganization. The Galatians had never been
supporters of the Producers News. The
Galatians had never been ldentltled IN poll
4 IDOL
of Sheridan county, In fact, the Galatians
had been quite positively identified against
these farmers and their political ideas and
activities.
But finally in dispair and distress, the
victims of ruthless exploiters, disillusioned,
they turned to the Holiday farmers for de-
tense and protection.
The Holiday farmers came to their res
cue, not because of any friendship, or past
association, but because they were fellow
farmers, being robbed and dispossessed by
their common enemies, the mortgage
sharks, who have robbed and disposseSsed
most of us in the past, and who will rob
and dispossess the rest of us In the future.
The Holiday farmers realize that the
robbery of the Galatians in the robbery of
every farmer in the county and state, and
that the defense of the Galatians is but the
defense of themselves.
The issue is not Callahan but the Insur-
ance company; whether such crimes as this
shall be tolerated. Every person is either
for Callahan or for the Insurance company.
There is no neutral ground. Those who
do not support Callahan supports the In
surance company, and those who support
the Insurance company are the enemies of
every farmers, every honest man in the
country, regardless of any pretence '"The
quality of justice is not strained" The
case is clear and conclusion is easy.
The Producers News did not take up the
fight for the Galatians for any personal
reason, but only on the high level of prin-
ciple. It would make the same fight for
any farmer in the county, regardless of
politics, religion, race or nationality-and
regardless of any past affiliation or atti.
: tudes.
The Producers News would make the
same fight for Arthur Blaise were he
abused and oppressed, or Discriminate
against, as it has for the Galatians in spite
of the despicable occupation in which he i,
0 now engaged. We hope he will realize +h.
