Mr. Anderson Comes Back
Editor Review: In issue of
22nd ult. replying to an attack
from the pen of Mr. G. W. Mun
son that appeared in issuo of
15th ult. I said "the gentleman's
letter is as long on words as it
is short on logic." His latest
8 -hort Oh logic." Ml
epistle, issue 29th ult. is
tlcman now says "it sceir
proof
verbose gen
says "it seems Mr.
Anderson is never happy unless
he has his hammer out knock
ing, knocking." But. you sure
ly are aware, Mr. G.W. Munson,
history teaches that tho "knock
or" has made life worth living
on this planet, and if the stand
patter had not been "knocked"
wo would still be swinging by
our tails on trees in forests
primeval.
'Tis almost a crimo to reason.
And more than a crimo to rebel
Against laws you're forced to
comply with
On earth or in heaven or hell."
Tho above is a stanza from
tho poem "Censorship" by R.
C. It ran in the next column to
the last wilderness of words of
Mr. G. W. Munson, and oven the
oraclo of St. Johns could do
worse than catch its meaning
In none of my letters is there
ono word "prating about tho
brotherhood of man." If my
critic understood English he
would know this. Webster de
fines prating as "to talk much
and to little purpose." My op
ponent meets this test. This
gentleman's attempts nt answer
ing my questions are specimens
of sophistry that would disgrace
any cause. On January 15th. he
said "whilo a legal point may
have been stretched building the
roadway," and two weeks Inter
January 29th ho writes, "tho
city council has full and undoni-
able power to construct a road
way." Now. surely Mr. G. W.
Munson, you'll admit that a man
who accuses another of "prat
ing" and of "his ignorance be
ing pathetic" that he himself
ought to have memory enough
to last him two weeks. For tho
love of "Mutt" quit word jug
gling. Cito that portion of the
city charter that gives the coun
cil power to spend ?G,000 on a
roadway without consulting tho
taxpayers. When you find it
ask the city attorney if it would
bo strong enough to stand the
acid test of an injunction? Jan
uary 22nd. I wrote, "tho crux
of my contention on the subject
of this roadway is (the stretch
ing of a legal point) by the city
council in diverting city funds
for tho building of same." If
my erudite critic cannot under
stand theso words there aro
night schools.
I'nends, after reading my let
ters, fail to hnd therein any at
tacks by mo on tho plant of the
Cooperage Co. It takes a Chris
topher Columbus Munson to dis
cover attacks on a Cooperage
plant that does not exist in
questions bearing on whose
money was spent in building a
roadway to a proposed Cooper-
age. "There are none so blind
as those who will not see." In
attempting to answer question 2,
this gentleman is both verbose
and abusive. Possibly when he
(understands English he may
I learn that it takes more than
words alone, and abuse, to make
' argument. What the period of
my citizenship has to do with
I tho interest on ?6,000, for tho
appropriation of which sum Mr.
G. W. Munson admits, "a legal
point may have been stretched."
he alone can tell. In skitting at
my alien origin this gentleman
is on very dangerous ground. It
is possiblo I was in this country
