WEDNESDAY, SEIT. Ul 11)11).
"I'OIH SQUARE TO A LL WINDS."
Our friend, Representativo Mc
Donald, is back this week, and we
gladly give space lo bis let 1er now,
as in the past, and wo will In the
future, being "four squnio to all
tho winds thal blow." Wither Mr.
McDonald did liol read carefully
what we had lo say editorially, or
what (he attendance otlicer had to
say must have addled bim lo snell
an extent ns to bave prevented his
golfing ll clear conception of what
was really said by both. Certain
ly we mudo no re foro ncc lo him as a i
"political accident." Wo regard
"political accidents" and public inis
forllllliilos as practically one and the
same thing. Hence, had the editor
ol' Tin; Courier fell inclined person
ally to make tho remark, be would
not have felt al liberty to twit,
through Ibo editorial columns of The
Courier, even his worst enemy, much
less a friend, willi bis misfortune
not tmly public, but personal as well.
Our one and only reference to Mr.
McDonald personally was to express
regret that our Representativo had
added Hie weight (d' bis words to
the diSCOI'd that was liten fast dis- |
appearing.
The truth of the mutter is, we
think, Hull Mr. McDonald is a wee
bit afraid lo tackle Hie task ol' an
argument with the former allen.i
:,nci i)Ulcer, a woman and we ame
he affects Hie position of tine despis
ing wuiii ni and lier ability, for be
Hays "Congress was out of ils senses
when the woman's suffrage atnand
meul was adopted.*'
"Wily. ' asks Mr. McDonald, "did
you say editorially that I oppose
education?" Tho very good and
only reason wo can assign for hav
ing ilene so is that we did not.
Duos the editor of Tile Courier
kllOW that il is the business of the
fourteen Court Solicitors to be in Ibo
(?enera 1 Assembly and see that all
bills are properly drafted and
worded? Frankly we did not know
it. We do know, however -and we
present ibo boich-work compulsory
attendance law as evidence amply
Bltdlctoul lo support the knowledge
-thal we have some Solicitors woe
fully in need of "firing" for derelic
tion of duty or inability to perform
a daly required ol' them,
As to the Senator being a pub
lisher of Tho Courier and hence re
sponsible for the misshapen bill, we
fail to see the relevancy. Mr. Shelor
is a member of Tho Courier firm.
Ile knows as much about what is
going to appear in tho weekly edi
tion of The Courier as does our one
subscriber In China, the numbers ot
I hem in distant places, or even Mr.
McDonald himself. We stand "four
square to all tho winds that blow,"
hence whatever copy is furnished by
Mr. Shelor for publication is "edited"
Just as carefully as is that furnished
by Mr. McDonald, whose spelling is
corrected, sentences rearranged, and
bad grammar Improved- In fact, the
whole in general "rehashed."
We are "four square to all the
winds thal blow." and this square
ness prevented our tining what wo
foll like doing this week thal is.
presenting Mr. McDonald's letter to
our readers Jus! at ll carno '.> ns.
Ile asserts that he had to pick dit
ton while be should have been in
school, and asks, referring to the
cliil.!r~r ?f to-day, why ..'.oe' ' ?hay
liol do it also? Mr. McDonald as a
