Helena, Mont, Dec. 16, 1871
Dear Sirs,
Enclosed please find two dollars foI
my renewal to The Voice and keeI
the change, for what free thinking
people and most especially in times
like this could do without publica-
ton like this is more than l can I'M
derstand
want also to take this opportunity
to thank you for the extra copies you
send me at the Fort. While l was
convalescing from major operation
no reading l could get hold Of gave
me more hope than the words | found
in the pages of The Voice. The fact
am privileged to be at this govern
ment veterans hospital will go with
out saying that I was in the last AEF'
and willingly gave along with thou
sands, yes, millions of other American
youth, the best of our life and health
to end all wars In view of the utter
failure of that experience, have been
strong supporter of the non-inter-
ventionist group.
But now that the bombs have hit,
we have but one united course left
and that is to again fight and fight
to win freedom for the world. Let's
make sure it will be different this
time, when its over. One can't listen
to the radio, read paper or even
have private talk with a friend with
out thanking God for the united ex-
preston that has cemented the nation
into this one purpose and determine
ton to win at all cost and after listen
ing last night to the beautiful drama
tization of the Bill of Rights, the
Presidents talk and our own gov
address for civilian defense,
one is more than ever thankful to
know and feel the spirit still pervails
that our forefathers have always
fought and died for, I have son and
daughter now old enough for service
and I am ready again to give my all
to my country. But using the words
Of our editor, Lets keep our heads"
and our thinking so netted together
in an organization so united and so
strong that when the butchering is
over we'll have something to say
about what those peace terms will be
md also see to it that the economic |
systems which breed such wars are
10 changed that never again will any
lation or nations ever dare to raise |
Up again to destroy the freedoms and |
governments of peaceful people no
natter how small
Get me straight, this is our God
,iven right under the Bill of Rights
nd the laws of this United States
i ours, it's up to us, the people, don't
orget, we are the ones that will
ecide this thing so let's stick together
nd let's think. Let's keep our
eads"

lear Cap,
I take this opportunity to write and
xpress an opinion or two about some
the popular column writer's now ]
ppearing in The Peoples Voice. 1t
! my opinion that of late the paper
as suffered from political myopia to
ome extent. This to me was no
ause for alarm, but what does alarm
lie is the fact that one of the column
riters actually is stone blind or sees !
lings up side down. What's worse, t
lis fellow writes what he calls the {
bserver's Columnl He signs him '
Elf in a straight forward and honest [
amer, eli Binder" t
If this column were jejune or list t
IS, should not write, but this col E
mn carries punch, and imprudent- {
;, of course, lot of news, astonish- 0
g news Some week or so ago the in I
litable Hi Binder gushed forth with Il
10 frumptedoodelry that all progress Z
yes in Montana should jump for joy I
,cause Bert Kathan was given an
,portunity to play second fiddle on p
e highway commission. Most pro- Il
essives considered that this appoint y
ent was a sop thrown to them. L
act of desperation. Not so, how l
er, was the observations of Hi q

But come further! To properly get 81
e God-Awful punch in the news as IL
ven by the observer, it is neces- q
ry to quote him verbatim In his J'
er popular column in The Peoples III
ice of December 10, 1871, he gives us
the most Illuminating bit of news &C

Chief Joseph. l quote him verba- le
