FOR TRUTHS SAKE.

AS was predicted In The Bulletin
several days ago. Mayor Parsons
Cairo election story is being ciFcu-
lated In this congressional district
generally, at his expense, in order to
boost his congressional aspirations,
The same story that was printed in
tho Mound City Tribune ten days
ago was reproduced in the Southern
Illinois Herald, published by ]. H.
Barton Of Carbonate, and as In the
case OF the Tribune SO in this. some
hundreds OF copies of the paper We're
scattered freely tn this city yester-
day, by a negro hired for the purpose.
The story was the same verbatim,
with al its falsehoods. and If to lie
deliberately and brazenly and ~ re-
peat the lie to people who know it to
be a lie, can be of any service to an
aspirant for public office. then per
haps Mayor Parsons may get some
thing for the money he spent to cir.
eulate this extraordinary story among
the people OF Cairo. Ordinarily, how
ever, man must at least pretend to
he honest with the people whose con-
fidence he seeks If he would gain
that conGdence-he ought to have
some respect for laws and conditions
that govern human feeling and human
thought, or he may have, fguratively
speaking, an experience somewhat
similar to that Of the Irishman who
wondered why Ice always freezes
