The people are not only getting
tired, but downright disgusted with
the newspaper rangles in Pemiscot

very best people in the county ex-
press themselves freely on this matter,
and we see where they are right.
In these United States every man has
"a constitutional right to his opinion
and to express it, and the merits of
that opinion may be debated. But
business and personal matters are diff
fcrent and tribunals of justice have
been established to decide them, if
necessary to be decided. Nothing
is ever satisfactorily decided in public
print, and such controversies are gen
orally without merit. 1t does not mat

tains, it is exercising its constitutions

the personel of the editorial staff or
the business affairs of the publishers
have anything to do with it. The con-
troverSy, or debate, if such becomes
necessary, should be confined strictly
to the merits or demerits of the ques-
ton at issue.

ESTABLISH THE GRADE.

Now that the people are putting in
concrete walks, the very first and best
thing for the city to do is to establish
Il grade. If this is not done, much
unSightlineSS, uneveness and bad off,
sets are liable to occur, which in a
few years, if the city grows, will lie
condemned and ordered replaced by
new walks. built to certain grade
The way to do thing is the right
way. There is no use in having jump
offs, flights of steps, in and out curves
and pitfalls along our sidewalks to
endanger life and limb.
The city council should enact Il con-
crete sidewalk ordinace, covering the
construction of same in full, giving
the width, drainage slope, thickness
of curbing, etc, and in this way our
walks would be uniform and beautiful
and contractors could better figure on
the material and cost of piece of
work.
We cannot comprehend why this
has not been looked after long ago.

HAYTl A DEAD TOWNC)

If your neighbor was reported dead
and yet you found him not only
breathing, but improving in health,
what would be the sLpposition?
Likewise, if Hayti is reported dead,
that turnips will be sown on the pub
lie square, that well-known business
men offer rewards for as many as
three men in Il crowd, and upon in
vestigation we find the town improv-
ing, what is the conclusion?.
Naturally, the reports that Hayti is
dead is but the desire of some, eX-
pressed, and investigation will likely
prove that most who declare Hayti
dead are failures themselves, and to
excuse their failure, attempt to fix the
responsibility upon Hayti, by saying
that she is dead and that they were
buried in her shroud.
This Is not an argument for or
against saloons. yet we are constrain-
ed to border along the saloon gues-
tion to the extent that although the
saloon people pictured completely
dead town without the saloons and
the 'drys" told of "a land flowing
with milk and honey when we went
dry, yet they were both off. There
may be no doubt that Hayti is not so
good a town as when we had saloons,
and when we have saloons again after

we want to call attention to how Hayti
has improved though dry, and en-

something better.
Now, take notice. We have been
dry three years, and what have we
done? Built city hall, graded square

The above may show that we can
have u good town without saloons,
and may show that if the above ear
be done without the saloon license
how much could he done with the sa.

The above is put forth to show botl

In revolt against It, The free raw
material policy has caused more oppo-
sitioE than any other general program
which has been forced into law in many
years. The Administration leaders
frankly admit their extreme disap-
pointment at the hostile attitude of the
country toward the corporation tax.
They seem to have believed that its
name would make it popular With the
masses Of people, and they discover that
justice and fair dealing after all play

A UNIQUE CAMPAIGN JUST
AHEAD.


The country Is gol-,5 to see some un-
precedented politics raNt year. There
viii be such performances as Democratic
Senators making speeches IN favor of
Republican candidates for Congress;
and then, on the other side, there viii
be found leaders of the Republican
party declaring that other leaders of
that party ought to be defeated. There
viii be. from present indications, such
a smashing Of party traditions and
party dividing lines as has not been
known since 1860.
And it is not remarkable. When the
Democratic party can contain Bryan
and Parker at the same time; when
AleEnery and Rayner both sail under
its colors; when la Toilette and AID
rich are both accepted as Republicans
of good standing, while Cummins and
Root are the acknowledged leaders in
their respective States-leading in
Numerically opposite directions-it Is
plain enough that party labels may not
be relied upon to give an accurate
knowledge Of the packages contents
The people understand this as they
never did before. They are getting
ready to choose men. not parties; to
stand for individual. not party pledges.
Both parties, through the action of their
agents in Congress, have proved that
they don't care a fig for the solemnly
executed pledge to adhere to a given
course.
But, on the other hand, some men in
each party have shown that they have
both the sincerity and the courage to
stand for what they think right; and
they have taken the people into their
confidence and explained for Just what
they stand These men can be relied
upon. What is needed is more of them;
and when it goes to the ballot box

for the third year. and l21z cents for
