Stand up, Timid Tony, and remove your chapeau, while the Herald-Re- view remarks on some reasons why you should get out of Itasca county for the good of the county and for your own good as well. You have probably discovered ere this date that your contemptible little black-mail- ing tricks and undisguised slanders of honorable men have not resulted to your profit as you evidently planned. You moved into this town with a little wad of ‘‘unearned increment,” and imagined that by virtue of the possession of some type anda printing press you would compel recognition of an alleged worth and power that you did not and do not merit. You confounded falsehood and blackmail with independence. You are incap- able of distinguishing the difference. ‘To successfully direct the editorial management of a newspaper requires integrity, some ability, independence and a large amount of serious thought and good judgment. In all these ial qualifications you are a pauper. You have substituted the tactics of the blackmailer and eharacter traducer. In common with your kind you have signally failed from a business point; personally and socially you have no rating in the community where you have resided for several years. The Herald-Re- view will venture to say without fear of successful contradiction that there js nota substantial citizen in Grand H s who does not regard you with ifeeling of contempt. There may lave have been those who at times pitied you, but you have sacrificed even that small consideration. Since your advent to this commuaity you have operated along lines that leaves no doubt of your conception of the purpose for which newspapers are published, You regard them solely asa z osby which to extort money from mé n public life. The Herald-Re- siew believes you to besincerein that theory; believes that you regard all newspapers as being conducted on that plan, and why you have not suc- ceeded you are unable to understand. You have been industrious jn your efionts to succeea through the policy adopted, and the complete failure that now confronts you can only be explained through the operation of ywar degenerate mind by the con- clusion that you have not been suf- ficiently severe in your denunciation ef those who would buy your silence or sanction. You do not realize that even men of brains, equally as uo- scroupulous as yourself, have never yet made a financial success of the blackmailing business. Some may have temporarily profitted, but the end is always disaster. Your experi- ence has been disaster from thestart. You are totally deficient in the first vequisite of a successful scoundrel— you haven’t the brains. Having play- ed the game in Itasca county to the limit there remains for you but one more move—move out. You have made the rounds in this county. It is useless for you to attempt to reform. Your reputation is too rotten in this yicinity—so long as you remain you'll stink. Much as the Herald-Review zegrets to lose you as a harmless com- pititor we will consent to the great sacrifice for the good of the com- munity. You are to this fair village as a loathsome cancer on the face of an otherwise beautiful woman. You'd wetter be amputated. The scar may always remain, but it will serve as a monument of warning to others of your ilk. Go far away where you are unknown and apply yourself to some menial toil for which you are so emi- nently equipped, there to repent for tbe remorseless wrongs you have at- tempted to inflict upon your peers. “Finally, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things arehonest, whatso- ever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things ace lovely, whatsoever things are of good report,....think on _ these things.’’ and may God have mercy on your soul, BANK NO. 385.
