About three week* ago Brother Babcock “explained” to the extent of a full column how grieviously he had been misrepresented by The Republican about the hall rent question. He professed close friendship for all the Red Men and one would have thought from the tears thait were shed over the front page of the newspaper that he really had compassion for the noble aboriginees. Last week the paper took a somewhat different tael;: and bemoaned the action of the Woodmen order in letting the Red Men share their (hall in the Odd Fellow building, apparently playing the dog in the manger stunt In other words, it appeared as though he proposed that if the Red Men did mot keep his hall at the advanced rental he would do his part to prevent them from getting any other place. The Democrat states that at a meeting of the Woodmen lodge to consider the proposition of admitting the Red Men, three-fourths of those present were Red Men. As a matter of fact, and the editor could have so ascertained had he tried, there were only ten of the twentytwo present who were Red Men. This presentation of the fact as against the misrepresentation made by The Democrat, will probably elicit a full column “explanation” and another claim that poor Bab is being abused by The Republican. It’s ! too bad, isn’t it?
