The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1910-06-09

Before another issue of the Hayti
Herald is printed, the local option
election, next Tuesday, will be a thing
of the past, and, for our part, which
ever way it goes it will be settled with
US for four years. We are glad that
we have been spared the necessity of
entering into fight, and that SO far,
no very great i'll feeling has been
caused We also want to remind the
people that this election is not in the
true meaning and spirit, local OPP
ton election, but an election to ad
just the local option laws in Pemiscot
county to basis of equality for the
entire county. Local option has nev-
er been in force in this county, and, if
anything, the past four years has been
about the most unpleasant in the his
tory of the county, with Caruthers-
vile with eight to twelve saloons to
make it impossible to receive any re-
lief from local option. So long as
conditions continue as they are, with
Charlottesville to supply the county
with intoxicants, local option laws
cannot be inforced, and it is for this
reason, to lessen crime and violation
of the law, that the people desire to
vote the saloons back into the county,
as by this means there will be no ped
ding or bootlegging whiskey, no
blind tigers and no regal joints, but
orderly and decent licensed and bon
ded saloons, under the control of the
law. SO, as for US, the question is
now up to the voters, to decide at the
poles, and we will bow to their de-
cisiOn.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1910-06-09

AS result of the local option elec-
tion four years ago, and the promise
of the Charlottesville "drys" that if
the county went dry and Caruthers-
vile wet, the county seat should be
moved to hayti, the city ofHayti voted
to bond itself for $40, 100000 to build a
courthouse, to donate to the county,
absolutely free, and placed 6,50O.0O
in the Bank of Steele to build Jail,
in all $l6, 10000. But when the county
seat election came, less than five
months after the local option election,
the very people who made these
promises-including preacher Will
lett-were the first ones out to fight
against the county seat being moved o
Hayti. SO Gs result of the promises
made, the people of Hayti are now
paying off a 100000 bonded in
debtedness and having the expense
and bother of keeping up and caring
fora so, 000.0 building. The citizens
of Pemiscot county should think of
this.

UNWARRANTED CRITICISM OF
JUDGE II. G.. RILEY.

The object of newspaper, when not
published in the interest of special
privileges or private aggrandisement
or the perpetuity of a public wrong, is
to furnish truths to the public, Edi-
torals in newspaper should essentially
have for their basis facts and not
mere suspicious.
A newspaper candidly conducted
rises above the semblance of petty
suspicious. When a newspaper resorts
to suspicious, and not facts for its con-
clusions it descends to the level of a
common gossip and busybody, and
thereby becomes menace to the COM
munity instead of benefactor. We
have recently noted, with deep regret,
signal sample of newspaper COM
ment based solely upon prejudice
and suspicion in the Pemiscot Argus.
AT New Madrid, on the 18th day of
May, 1910, Judge Riley refused to
grant temporary injunction, which
would have stopped and prevented the
local option election in this county, to
to be held on June l4th next. Judge
Riley properly and rightfully under
the law of the state of Missouri re.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1910-06-09

fused to grant such temporary injunc-
tion. The law of the state of Mis-
souri, says that local option election
shall not be held oftener than four
years. The last local option election
was held in this county on the 14th of
June, 1906. The present election will
be held on the 14th of June, 1910, four
years later. How Judge Riley could
have done otherwise than he did is not
1T all conceivable to an unprejudiced
mind. Judge Riley has been on the
bench lS years, and has devoted this
portion of his life TO adjusting the dif-
ferences of the peoplelofPemiscot coun-
ty. He is now about to retire to priv
ate life after long and laborious
service to his countrymen. 1t was in
deed unkind and uncivil in the Argus
to cast such reflections and make such
unwarranted criticisms upon the
judicial finding of Judge Riley in the
injunction proceedings mentioned, and
we can conceive of no reason for same
unless it was to bolster up the excuse
of the Argus and that of its colleagues
for attempting to prevent the holding
| of the local option election on June
l4th and thereby wrongfully and
illegally thwart the will of the majorit!
| of the people.

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
ALL ANNOUNCEMENTS ARE CASH IN ADVANCE.

We are authorized to announce the
following as candidates for nomination
to Office, in Pemiscot county, Mo-,
subject to the action of the eprimary
election, August 2, 1910.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1910-06-09

Just at the present time the political
horizon in Pemsscot county is con-
siderably obscurcd with storm clouds,
and there is no telling what the re-
suits of the coming elections may
bring forth. The disturbing factions
are plain to be seen, and to avoid
what is liable to happen, the citizens
of Charlottesville should curb the fac
tion in that town that has caused and
is causing the trouble. A word to the
wise is sufficient.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1910-06-09

The Argus speaks of the large
Chicago Mill & Lumber Co., factory
that located at Blytheville, instead OF
Caruthersville, because Charlottesville
had saloons. Pray tell us why this
factory did not locate in the dry city
of Hayti? Give us sensible reason
for some of these things.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1910-06-09

If saloons are so bad, why don't
the Charlottesville drys consent tor
the county to take part of them of
of their hands?
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1910-06-09

Whenever Caruthersville concludes
to get rid of saloons, the county will
go dry, but as long as Charlottesville
has saloons, the caunty should have
them.

Ethel was SO sleepy last night that
her father told her a short story so
that he could get through before the
sandman came. Here is the story:
One morning early Jack Frog woke
up jill Frog by kicking him In the
ribs.
II say there" he said, why wouldn't
1t be a good idea for US to have air
ships? / saw the Lady Bug flying
around IN a butterfly, and 1 thought
we might be able to get hold of some
thing that would carry us up In the
sky"
Sure enough" said Jill Frog. IT tell
you that We are not going to nave an
easy time getting anything that will
hold big people like us. The Lady Bug
Is very light and she can fly around
on a butterfly very easy"
why wouldn't it do to see II we
can't get hold of some BATS" said
Jack.
They only fly at night" said jill.
THAT is all right" said Jack, be
cause we could get fire flies and glow
worms so that We woul not run into
each other.
What will we do about little Willie
T~reetoad?" said Jill.
Let's run over and tell him about
1t, and see II we can't get three bats,
and that will max IL all the more fun
When our three airShYps go sailing
around in the sky. I am getting so I
like little While Treetoad" said Jack.

will have TO look out for him because
with those little suckers on the bot
tom Of his feet he can stick on a bat
much easier than we car 1 think we
had better put on our rompers.'
Come on, then. and let's go over
and see little Willie Treetoad and tell
him about the bats"
So the Frog boys hoped over to
see litcle Willie Treetoad as fast as
they could.

THE LITTLE CITY MICE.

This is the story that Ethels father
told her one night:
Mr.. n Mrs. City Mouse lived in a
great big office building with their
little daughter, Maudie Mouse. Maudie
vas n of the prettiest little mice
you ever saw, and she used to spend
her time at night playing with little
Charlie Mouse in a great big waste
paper basket which stood in Mr.. Jones'
office in the great big building In New
York city.
One night Mr.. City Mouse said to his
good wife: do you know 1 do not like
these office buildings? They are made
out of stone, and there isn't a chance
for US to hide hat there used to be
in the old building. and there isn't very
much to eat. Why wouldn't 1t be a
good idea for us to move into the coun-
try? We might go out n see our
cousins, Mr.. and Mrs. Country Mouse"
THAT is very thoughtful of you,"
said Mrs. City Mouse, but how on
earth are we going to move our
things? ?"
II think the best thing to do would
be to leave all of our furniture here.
1t Is getting quite old, and 1 am afraid
that IL we start to move anything that
old Tom. the office cat, will get after
u.s."
"All right" said Mrs. City Mouse. "I
will leave 1t all to YOU. my dear good
husband"
Mr.. City Nous peeked out of the
little hole In the door m looked up
the hall this way and that to see IL
Tom was anywhere to be seen.
How would 1t do to go tonight" he
said.
at would be fine" said his wife.
only We don't want to be eaten up
alive
Come on, then. let's hurry up" So
Mrs. City Mouse put on her bonnet
and Mr.. City Mouse put on his high
hat and they Axe Maudie Mouse up
In q nice little s~unbonnet and they
started down the hallway. They were
so excited at the thought OF going to
the country. that they forgot all about
Tom, but Tom had not forgotten about
them. Just az they came around the
corner they saw him coming down the
hall as hard as he could come and they

FLYING IN THE AIR

Il do not know whether 1 should tell
you the story of how the Frog brothers
and little Willie Treetoad rode around
In the air." as it Is quite exciting, but
If you will promise to shut your eyes
and go right to sleep 1 will tell you the
story"
Ethel promised, and her father be-
gan:
Promptly at 8 O'Clock little Willie
Treetoad n the Frog brothers arrived
at the home of Billie Bat.
Hello, you Bats" said little Willie
have that ride you promised u.s."
AN right all right said Billie Bat,
peeking out Of the window.
Very soon the Three Bats came down
to the ground n the Frog brothers
tried to get on to two of them, while
little Willie Tretoad hoped on to Bill
lie Bat, and stuck to his wings as If he
was glued there.
Are you ready?" said Billie Bat.
we are" said little Willie Treetoad
In high glee.
II don't know about me-" said jill
Frog. Either this Bats india rubber
wings are slippery or else l am slip
perry. It's all l can do to hold on even
II / have on my rompers."
Whoa, there" said Jack Frog.
Don't get too funny. Wait until 1 get
settled on your back before you begin
n monkey business"
BY this time little Willie Treetoad
was flying UP in the air, making the
Bat ny around In circles by leaning
this way and then that.
Hurry up, there; hurry up, you fell
lows, and come along. It's great up
here" said little Willie Treetoad.
Hold on up there a minute" said
Jack Frog, I'VE haven't got out Ian
terms yet. We will have to see If we
can't get some ~fireflies to go along with
u.s."
All right" said little Willie Tree
toad, as his airship settled down on the
ground.

Raw Fooda Reduce FIesh.

People troubled with superiuous
flesh should take up a diet of raw
foods, says the Delineator.
We know that all heating substances,
such as fats, starches and alcoholic
drinks. are %fattening; for that reason
many advocate the complete elimina-
tion Of heat Cold baths instead Of hot
s.3 Advised. as BY this means bodily
heat Is distracted, the effort to supply
more increasing combustion, and re-
duction or flesh follows.
In addition TO cold baths an uncook-
ed cold diet Is pursued. One author
ity states that this diet consists OF abb
solutely raw foods; II must consist
mainly OF fruits. nuts. grains, milk and
when flesh meat Is desired. a hamburg
beefsteak may be partaken Of: to this
may be added raw oysters n clans
Every kind OF fruit except apples Is
allowed: also melons. salads and vege-
tables. A small quantity of freshly
cracked gain, about a tablespoonful at
a meal, Is very strengthening and very
delicious after n becomes accustomed
to 1t. This regimen pursued for one
year, will produce astonishing results.
