What can be more clear.

What can be more clear.
The present Argus had it's
birth in the democratic party
and it's present editor was elected
to the office of representative on
the democratic ticket.
But when the democratic par
ty repudiates him for his sins
against it, he calls all parties
wicked, and secretly goes to
work, conniving with the repub-
lican part, aided by the socialists,
to disrupt his own party and
turn it into the republican ranks.
The Argus is careful not tC
state in what respect nor who in
the democratic party is wicked
but under it's cloak is striving
to vent it's spleen and get even.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1911-09-21

After this week, until some
thing new occurs, we will have
nothing more to say about the
local option contest case and
auditing the county's books.
We have rehashed the same old
story over and over again, only
to be met with lies, deception
and evasion, until wehave become
tired, and we believe that the
people are sufficiently intelligent
that they fully understand the
truth. We have tried, the best
we could, to protect the people
by telling the truth and in ex.
posing falsehood, but a repeti.
ton of the same old story week
after week becomes tiresome
Surely the people know the facts
by this time.

can reconcile the two:

This paper does not intend to be
drawn into any discussion of partisan
politics. even though attempts are be-
ing make in that direction. So far as
any party is concerned, it must neces-
sarily contain some bad as well as
some good. Any paper which adopts ID
platform of any party verbatim, must
endorse both the good and the bad,
and is not permitted to refer to the
latter, let alone condemn it. There
fore, we prefer our independence in
this respect.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1911-09-21

We are in sympathy with one whose
hair has turned gray in the newspaper
service, who will put such questions
as the foregoing before the people 20
be answered, when these very ques-
tions compose the grounds upon
which the auditing is asked for. If we
knew the books were right, the audit
ing would not have been asked for in
the first place. If they are wrong,
we want them made right. The ques-
tions cannot be answered, only by the
county officials, until the jnvestiga-
tion is made. Then why do you, Mr..
York, oppose it when you ask the
questions yourself.-Caruthersville

Now, the proper thing for
these two papers to do is to con-
solidate, and change the name of
the Argus to the Socialist
Leader"
Socialists of Pemiscot county,
please take notice; here is a
golden opportunity.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1911-09-21

Certainly man who has lived
in this county quarter of cen
tury and whose hair has turn
ed gray in the newspaper ser
vice." should have more cause to
know the facts and be better
able to pass an opinion than
man who has been in the county
only about one year.
The question of auditing the
countv'S books remains unchang
ed, and will remain so until some
cause can be shown why the
books should be audited.
The county's books are natur-
ally presumed to be correct and
each and every county official
has kept his books correctly.
In order to have the books
audited, it is only natural to
presume that some shortage,
somewhere or some how, should
be shown, which the Republican
refuses to do.
So it is plain that the Republi-
can is in the game for politics on
ly, and is playing second with
the Argus to disrupt the demo
cratic party.
The following named gentle
men constitute the officials of
Pemiscot county, and until the
contrary is shown, we shall be-
lieve in the honesty and integrety
of every one of them:
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1911-09-21

Perhaps a set of republican of,
ticials would suit the Argus bet
ter, but as some of these demo,
cratic officials were elected by as
much as 700 majority the people
of the county may take different
view of the matter:
Here is a list of the county of,
ficials, as elected by the people,

Although admitting that the
local option contest case is end
ed and that the contes tants were

it's venom and it's total disregard

point does not go into the merits OF
the case, nor the justice of the contest
ants. That fraudulant votes were
cast and counted was shown by the
testimony given before Esq. Corbett
last year. .'-Caruthersville Argus.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1911-09-21

Now, we will venture that there
is not one word of truth in the
above, but that the same is false
in evrey particular and is intend
ed only for political effect, to dis
rupt the democratic party.
We might admit that at least
one of the above named officials
may be a socialist, but he has
never so declared nor has he
been so considered; he has been
a warm friend of the Argus :,
however, and is so regarded by
the socialist leaders.
Back to the subject, we ven
tured the Argus statement was
false, and if the Argus state,
ment is not false, then we will ask
what or which officials have re-
fused to permit their books to
be audited? Name them, Sonny!
No, the trouble is, no cause
can be shown why the books
should be audited, and all this
Argus fuss is merely for politi-
cal effect.
With this, we dismiss the Ar,
gus, for the present, at least.

AN OUTSIDE EXPLOSION
Destroyed the Maine, Was and Is the
Opinion of Lewis Nixon.

New York, July f9-Lewis Nixon.
the naval architect, who designed the
Indiana and Oregon type of battlesnip.
commenting yesterday on the news
from the wreck of the Maine, said to a
World renorter:
There has never" he said. "been the
slightest doubt in my mind about the
cause Of that vessels destruction. In
the first place. knowing the care with
Which the magazines of our men-of-
war are safeguarded there was every
reason TO suppose that unless other
powder made under the same condi-
ton had been found unstable the ex-
piasion YVES not due TO undue heat or
powder deterioration.
The careful examination made by
the very competent board appointed.
which met on the lighthouse tender
Mangrove, a vessel | had built, was
most convincing. As the members OF
the board We're personal friends, | talk
ed ever the matter afterward with
them, especially with Naval Construc-
tor John b. Hoover. U. S. N, with
whom | had many opportunities for
discussing the question, as he was an
inspector at my shipyard for several
years.
when I myself visited the scene of
the wreck in Havana harbor / was
struck with the amount of the destruc-
ton, and concluded that very prob
ably the magazine was exploded by
the firing of the mine, as | rather
doubted the possession of a mine cap
able of such total destruction though
convinced 1t started from the outside.
THE most convincing fact bearing
on the explosion was told me by Capt,
Stevens of the Ward liner Havana
He said he was sitting on board the
Havana after dinner and. was looking
directly at the Maine at the time of
the explosion. She seemed to rise up
forward. Wreckage began to fall on
board his vessel. On the deck, one
piece very near to him. there fell two
very large pieces of thick cement.
I'm our earlier vessels we laid quite
a thick layer of cement on the bottom
plating in the double bottom, so work
ed as to form water courses to the
suctions and to cover rivetheads. An
explosion from the inside could not
we'll account for the way the vessel
was distorted and broken, though it
could very naturally add enormously
to the destruction, as the vessels back
was broken and she was lifted by the
outside explosion.
There is not much room for con-
troversy. A mine powerful enough
might have done all the damage. We
shall possibly know what part was
played by the ships explosives
