L,addOnia Herald's Nom de PlumeS.

We have been surprised and
grieved lately at the rot II war
thy exchange, the Laddonia Herald,
has been publishing under nom de
plumes. Last week it accused the
county court of not letting bridges
to the lowest bidder and says:
The remedy for such conduct is
found in the wholesome Democratic
doctrine of rotation in Office
which should be in all such instances
speedily and vigorously enforced by
the voters and tax payers. When
We consider the utter want OF quailt-
cations to properly discharge the
duties of a county judge, many OF
our most intelligent citizens wonder
how q certain official has held that
position so long. Let's have capable
and honest officers in every depart
ment of government.
All this and more we find under
the nom de plume of Harry" Who
is Harry: Why don't he give his
name? Why don't lie call the judges
name? The LEDGER made and still
makes charges against a county Off
cial, but we call his name and plainly
state our charges and give the proof,
so that a w%ayfarlng man, though o
| fool, can not but see the truth. Ii
you have any charges to make make
them in full. Publish who the guilty
party is and the proof. Then the
party against whom the charges are
made can have a hearing When you
charge dishonesty against a county
official you should be PLAIN and spe'
citic. We would recommend you tt
the files of the LEDGER fora lesson IL
this particular. No one will condemn
dishonesty in office more ~scverel,
than the LEDGER, but we do thinl
the proper way to handle such mat
tiers is without gloves and wlthou
| nom de plunes. Make your charge
: plain, then if we have Il county otiicia
guilty of dishonesty he of course vii
have the choice of resigning or walk
I ING the plank.
