HALE SUES THE STAR FOR LIBEL
*«t have you done to encourage patriotism among our people? What part
“tf# you taken to assist in the organization of our war activities? Did you
Ite a letter to the Chief of Staff of the Adjutant General which severely con
mned Captain Charles Sumner Smith, and did not this letter contain some
iCTS about his throwing your attorney out of his (The Star) office, also an
:ount of an assault he made upon you? Do you know that Captain Smith
I not suffer, but was benefited, by this drop-letter correspondence?
Have you generally opposed applicants for public and private positions
.giving some suggestions, which reflected on the character or ability of the
plicant? Have you proven yourself so far as public welfare is concerned,
uplifter or an undertaker? Are you a criminal by inheritance? Do you
ow the police record of your brother? Have you ever lived in Davenport,
va? Do you consider the picture of yourself accompanying this article a
)d picture? Are you a judge of human nature, if so, let us have your de-
Ion? Why did you leave the employ of the Northwestern Telephone Com
jiy, where you held a position as traveling booth-cleaner, while you posed
an inspector? Have you not been a constant candidate for public position?
n you state why you could not suceed yourself as one of the legislative
ployes? What is your present position? Did you represent and promote
HE HELPING HAND CLUB” at your residence? Was it not supposed to
a philanthropic proposition for deserving purposes? Whose hand did you
jr help other than thine own, unless you were dividing the spoils? Why did
i threaten to bring suit against Detective Hardin?
Now Mr. Hale, let us have the facts! You can answer all these questions,
u are supposed to be intelligent. I do not know by what authority you
im this distinction, excepting that you have been employed at the Uni
•sity of Minnesota and was especially desirious of having the honor of
aring President Vincent’s old clothes. Probably you received your greatest
)d at that time —the old clothes. Your record while at the other university
am forced to remind you that you were headwaiter at the University Club),
">ws too much political knowledge and activities, in connection with other
ies, and because of undue familiarity, you were summarily dismissed. We
re no information that you brought suit against the management. ,
Why are you not a Pythian in good standing?
You are not at the Bar of Judgment or under cross examination under
statutes, but judging from your charges against Editor Smith, one would
ieve that you lost your reputation by his statement of a few facts. Now,
’t you are a public citizen and have assumed the right to advise and criticize,
sumably for public good, your suspicious connection with many events,
r e necessarily caused the foregoing questions, which you may answer by
38” or “No.” Should you by explanation prefer to affirm or deny the facts,
even offer your accustomed evasion, you have my permission. You may
.it at The Forum, in public press, on bill boards or by hand bills. The
•den and method of publicity is cheerfully given to you.
■ It appears to be a loss of type and time to devote this space to Phil. Hale,
as it evidently appears that he tried to shake-down the Western News
ier Union and annoy the wife of Editor Smith, also “to put the Star out of
.inesß,” it is a fair exchange that he be given a shake-up as to his standing
the community and made to prove himself either a public benefactor or a
ial highwayman.
Newspaper publishers are responsible by law for the matter inserted in
“ir columns. If you had suffered so unjustly as you claimed in your com
int, I would have been indicted for criminal libel. But did not you require
your stipulation to Mr. Meyst that you would settle if he signed an agree
at never to print the Twin City Star? Why do you always "contribute”
ir malicious articles to another’s paper? It appears that you would own a
•er and come out in the open. Should you organize your Y. M. C. A. proposi
l, try and you may change your ways.
• Mr. Phillip F. Hale you have been indicted and will be given a fair trial.
r ou are found guilty, the penalty that you are not fit for decent companion
p will be imposed. Public opinion will enforce it. Under the laws of com
isation you have no right to appeal and “may the Lord have mercy on
ir soul.” You have been labeled, not libeled.
Do you wish to be committed to the Attucks Home, State Insane Asylum
cremated?

WORDS OF WISE MEN
The greatest homage we can pay to
truth is to use it. —Emerson.
Let a broken man cling to his worK.
If it saves nothing else it will save
him.—Beecher.
The great secret of success In life is
for a man to be ready when his oppor
tunity comes.—Disraeli.
The truest style of eloquence, secu
lar or sacred, is practical reasoning
animated by strong emotion.—Anon.
Things that never happen are often
as much realities to us In their effects
as those that are accomplished.—Dick
ens. ’
Eloquence Is the transference of
thought and emotion from one heart
to another, no matter how it is done. —
Gough.
There are men whose independence
of principle consists in having no
principle on which to depend—whose
free thinking consists not in thinking
freely, but in being free from thinking,
and whose common sense is nothing
more than the sense that is most com
mon.—Dr. M. W. Jacobu.
There is a broad distinction between
character and reputation, for one may
be destroyed by slander, while the
other can never be harmed save by Its
possessor. Reputation is In no man’s
keeping. Yon and I cannot determine
what other men shall think and say
about us. We can only determine what
they ought to think of us and say
about us, and we can only do this by
acting squarely up to our convictions.
—Holland —Chicago Post.
We are living In an age and an
epoch which is characterized by a
growing and insistent demand for jus
tice and democracy. The United
States is sending men, money and
munitions to the, battle fields of Eu
rope as its demand for justice, free
dom and equality of opportunity for
all peoples, and it would be well for
the Americans at this time to remem
ber that here in our own country for
the past fifty years since the aboli
tion of slavery, is a race loyal, patri
otic people* who are not enjoying at
the hands of this government here at
home the principles of that democracy
for which we are fighting to make the
world safe, and in which fight God
helping us, we will be victorious.
If the truth could be discovered, prob
ably it would be found that it makes
a horsefly pretty sore to try to get
blood out of a flivver.
Of course we have other troubles,
but we don’t have to press our hair
down with one hand while we put our
hat on with the other. —Dallas News.

don’t get the idea that he is trying to pul
something over on you.
Ths plain truth of tho matter Is that
our labor and other manufacturing costs
have increased so much that wo had tho
choice of cutting down the aise of tho
Bight Draft cigar, using inferior
or raising the prioe one cent.
We believed you would rather have
Ike same old Bight Draft quality, tho
