' Wrll, thru the language ol (lie live o'clock let "goes." Wh.it lilt: MlNPIt has endeivored to establish and w ill continue to in ilntnln is tint Mr. I:dwatd liverett Young, the lovelv and accomplished hired in. in ot Hed Hoy Godfrey, in prilorming his rdl toii.il duties, whKh consist of milking the citizens of Sumpter and giving a M ick ee to till mining dist-M, d es not show i the reverence and consideration lor truth lik h one In Ills eal rd position should display, as a henllicrnt e nnple to the youth, theliumMe and less fortunate, who look to him for guid nice in all things. Illl- MlNhN, not being ambitious to rival the I'orll.iiiil Mercury, Ins persistently re luseil thr Imporlunllles ot citleus to pub lish even the whole truth about Mr. Young, thr personification of mnnopo Ilzed moral beauts'. It cares to plav upon .1 li.irp ol but two strings; one tell ing of the American's mission to knock this town and district, the other AW. Young's penchant for ignoring truth In his continued-story laudation of himself and his bossr's paper, the American. litis gllted journalistic genius is of rare moral and mental make up, possessing the noisy, shameless braggadocio of the New York World and the phariseeism of the Post. ;or Instance, in Its issue of last week there Is this editorial paragraph: " Hie Amnlcan lias been asked bv the Oregon slate commission to the Pan Ameruan exposition at Hulf.ilo to publish an i-.tia mining edition to be distributed there in the interest of eastern Oregon. Now- will our Inducers be good? Or if this s impossible will they at least give us ,1 silent rest." Follow ing up this self donated Moral tiibute, it again approvingly, proudly pits itself on the back by publishing tills request under the headline, " l'he Ameri can in Cortland. Pan-American Comntis sionris ask tor a Special Edition for llulfalo;"and these Introductory remarks: "It Is always gratifying to people of hon est purpose and endeavor to know that their efforts are appreciated bv their Intel ligent public spirited lelhnv citizens." Now, when it Is known that this "re quest," this earnest appeal, Is merely a circular letter, one that Tilt: MINI-R and douMless every other paper In the state Ins received, doesn't the above self con gratulatory rot on the part of the Ameri can appear to be a trifle exaggerated? To press the matter still further; the Ameri can editor not having been proven to be an irredeemable Idiot and therefore know ing the nature of this request, that it is merely a reproduced circular letter, could not the Inference be reasonably drawn that he is endeavoring to sail under false colors, trying to make It appear that he has received some exclusive, honorable recognition? As a matter of fact, isn't it here demonstrated that (lie Immaculate ,r. Young, in this particular instance, is not acting with entire frankness and hon esty? Or is all this mere "vaporing dlocy," that should he treated with "silent contempt?" Again. "The taxpayers are coming to realize that there is ton much lawlessness in Sumpter." lidltorial paragraph. Does the reader suppose that this was pub lished to benefit this town? It is a fact, that every one posted on the subject ac knowledges and frequently comments upon, that Sumpter is the most orderly, liw abiding mining camp on the Ameri can continent. Hence Till: Ml NEK In sists that the American never "over looks a bet" to befoul its own nest, and does not hesitate to misrepresent con ditions in order to accomplish that purpose that it is a chronic liar, d d the rules of the game, restricting this discussion to the language of the live o'clock 'ea, per mit the use of such language to express this patent truth. So endeth the 'steenth lesson with humble apologies to the reader, who has p.tld his subscription, for here publishing this stuff Instead of mining and local news.
