Further comment later.
A scientist says “if the earth was
flattened the sett would be two miles
deep all over the world,” After due
meditation a Kansas editor gives out
the following: “if any man is caught
flattening out the earth, shoot him
on the spot. There is a whole lot of
us in Kansas that can't swim,”
The Modern Dreyfus.
Last week, Mr. Gibson, the self
appointed and self-nominated Dreyf us.
attempted to draw a parallel between
that persecuted French Major and
himself, but the following quotation
from Champ Clarke in bis address on
Aaron Burr would make it appear
that Mr. Gibson was in the wrong
class:
“It is witli pity unspeakable that
one reads the story of Aaron Burr.
It is the saddest chapter in the annals
pf Urn human race. We turn from the
perusal Of that checkered life—of so
much glory and so much shame—with
the settled conviction that there w^s
but one thing needful tO hav9 miide
him one of the most resplendent
figures in American history—a moral
sense. Of that lie was as destitute
as the beasts which perish. And for
this fatal deficiency nothing can com
pensate—neither brilliant talents nor
jqfty eloquence, nor profound learn
ing. n#j |eonjnpcpurage, nor winsome
manners, nor sparkling wit, no? hand
some presence, nor amiable qualities,
nor renowned ancestry. With all
these—good within themselves and
universally coveted by the children of
men—Aaron Burr was lavishly en
dowed by Nature in her most prodigal
of moods; but she withheld from him
tJje most precious of her gifts—a ^ire
and hq^est (wt, On the contrary.

Editor NoBfinfBS'pKRN: ' In' youf
comments on the petjtiph filed with
the statu board of equalization, in the
Issue of j(>ur im)«r of two weeks ago,
you call for a' farther gxplj»uatiop u?
the high rate of taxation for the
years 1904-5. and suggest that C. F.
Beushausen. county clerk, and myself
make such explanation.
VV’hat have we done that we are

care to call people such names, not
even the self-designated SAVIOR of
the people himself. I don’t believe
in it. It injures the town and com

I4»enj:"
The high rate of taxation in sher
■
man county for the years 1904-5 is the
fruit of official incompetency on the
part of Geo. H. Gibson, county clerk,
which will be demonstrated by an
object lesson explanation in the re
duction of taxes in the year 1903.
Thus far this may partake some
what of Mr. Gibson’s assertion and
conclusion tactics, which I have al
ways considered unfair, and if unfair
in him, it is also unfair in me, and
for that reason and that the i*eople
may have an opportunity of judging
for themselves, if I may be allowed
space in some future issue of your
valuable paper 1 will go into detail
and try and make plain to all why
Geo. H. Gibson engaged in his Carrie
Nation politics, why he held his
indignation meetings throughout the
county in an effort to attach the
blame to others, why he wanted a
third term, and how nice it would
have been to hare been his own suc
cessor, who made up the amount of
tax deducted from the railroads, and
while I don't quite understand the
"padding” process adopted, I will ex
plain it as best I can, also the double
tax list and how much the red ink
cost some of the taxpayers.
I have no way of knowing why the
would be S A AMOR of the people, con
sidered himself greater than the law.
greater than the state board of
equalization in refusing to obey the
law and the order of the board.
In regard to your suggestion of
engaging an expert to go over the
books of Mr. Gibson. I have nothing
to say. I have no knowledge as to
the necessity of an expert and will
therefore confine mvself to the tax
matter with which’ I have become
familiar, having examined into it as
a matter of self defense, and also to
prepare myself to appear before the
state loard of equalization.
1 am rather convinced from the
tone of the resolutions adopted by
our populist friends at their recent
convention, that more people under
stand this tax matter now than when
Gibson was holding his indignation
meetings, and they will understand
it better when they pay their 190ti
tax. I don't quite understand why
our populist f riends did not take the
self-designated SA AMOR of the people
in when they had a chance to get him
free of charge.
Hoping 1 have not intruded on too
much of your space. 1 am respect
