Jean Paul Richter once observed
that If a lady officer wanted to give
the word "Haltv she would do it in
the following strain: "You soldiers, all
Of you, now mind what say. I order
you as soon as have done speaking
to stand still, every one Of you, on the
spot where you happen to be: Don't
you hear me? Halt, say, all Of you!"
Upon this strong minded woman
made the following comment: "Now,
NJ. Jean, it was an unlucky day on
which you wrote that sentence. May
you never hear anything but that lit
tie, concise word NO from every rosy
pair Of lips you meet. May you halt

and your stockings full Of holes. May
your bootjack be missing, your feet
corny and your shaving water cold,
your razor dull, your hair stand up,
your collar lie down. May your beard
be porcupiny, your whiskers thinly
settled and your mustache curl the

cost of producing a job of work
and less of keeping some other
printer from getting the job,
they would be better off. Much

The Herald positively refuses any

competition with any other
printer, for the simple reason
that many of them never figure
the cost of production.

PESSIMISM.

the dark side of everything, and
in doing so, is doing our county
and many of its citizens great
injustice. The impression is
growing, far and wide, that this
county is very bad and corrupt,
which of course prevents many
people from coming here to To-
cate: and what is worse, bad inn
pressions are quick to take effect
and hard to overcome.
AS every intelligent person
knows, it is easier to do harm
than good, that bad reports cir
culate faster and are quicker of
belief than good reports. 1t
seems to be a human weakness
to dwell upon the bad there is in
a man instead of the good. We
are prone to look for faults,
weaknesses and defects.
Through all the ages OF the
world human nature has remain
ed about the same in this re-
spect, and one little act, mistake
or miS-Step is sufficient to tear
down and destroy all the good of
a well.spent life and cast it into
utter oblivion, and the people
group around the little error and
feast upon it like vultures upon
the putrid carcass Of some de-
parted faithful animal.
1t is a human trait-nOt only
that, but an animal trait-to long
for and be appreciative of praise
and commendation. The faith
full dog will wag his tail in glee
and the horse will neigh at the
sight of the kind and indulgent
master. How much more pleas
ant is it to walk upon the streets
and every person you meet
greets you with hearty hand
shake and pleasant smile, than
to never speak as you pass by.
The world is better only as it
thinks it is better, and the bet
ter you make man think he is,
if he has a normal mind, the bet
ter he will be.

WearenOts seekingan argument

Our purpose is to get the people
to see the point of optimism VS..

Take the Argus, under thepres.

issue to the present, and what has
been its course? It's files will
show that it's course has been
one continual course of dia,

its friends, stockholders and pa

attacks. The best, foremost and
most honored men of our coun

and without;lISa andOurcourt

are ruthlessly belittled.

voting its time, and for which it ,
caused a petition to be circulated,
through the imstrumentality of |
VIM. Tucker, John Walker, ct AL,
which said petition, containing
some 600 names, was presented |
to the county court.
After inspecting the above pc
tition, the county court natur.
ally wanted to know upon what
grounds the petition was based;
, if any errors or shortages had
been discovered or could be
pointed out. The Argus could
not Indicate one single instance,
and accordingly, the county
court having given the county's
books the usual inspection and
checking up and found them cor
rect, declined the petition-de-
clined to spend $1,000 or $4,000
of the peoples money out of the
county treasury merely to salts
fly the curiosity of a few suspi-
cious, socialistic minds, for it is
a fact that the Argus is and has
been all along strongly allied
with the socialist party in Great
ing a political (socialist) upheaval
in this county.
Now, as the petitioners have
wasted their energies in getting
up petition of 600 names, and
when this petition was present
ed could not Indicate or name
one solitary reason why the
books should be audited, what is
the use to continue the agitation,
unless it is for political reasons.
But the Argus announces that
the fight will be continued.
Personally, we have no objec-
tion to the books being audited,
if good and sufficient reasons in
the way of errors or shortages
can be pointed out, but in the
absence of any cause or reason
for auditing the books, we are
heartily with the county court
in declining to make the order,
as it was their plain duty to de-
mand some tangible reason.
And we are opposed to all
those in:Sinuating remarks and
innuendoes, calculated only to
cast discredit upon our officials
and bring our county into disre-
pute Let us settle all such af-
fairs at home and out of public
print. If our books need audit
ing let us go to work and discov-
er some tangible reason that will
justify the county court in order
ing the work done.
We say, without hesitation and
without doubt that there is not
a better county court in the State
of Missouri nor one composed of
more honorable and upright men
than Judges Asa Green, James
Foust and George Wilks, who
preside over the affairs of Penn
iscot county. But the Argus
wants the people to believe that
one man, not "A county Judge, is
bossing the entire county. No
Doubt the Argus has reference
to that big hearted, whole-souled
fellow, John Mcfarland, our ex-
collector, who has helped, ac-
cOmmodated and befriended
more people than any man in the
county, who, in times past has
been benefactor of the Argus
and still remains a stOckhOld er
, in the Argus company.
1t appears, however, that the
Argus is desirous of exerting
the one-man power, and covets
that power unto itself.

The tone of the stock market was irreg-

ing. Some of the industria1s showed firm
ness but the railroad list a whole was
unsettled except for the coalers. Pressure
against Steel was again conspicuous and
there was further liquidation of specula-
pany securities. The recovery in prices
which set in toward the close of the first
hour was carried further before there was
sufficient realizing to cause a setback.

on liberal scale. The fact that the pre-

cis1vely against the bears. Poor grading
on this side of the Canadian line tended
also to cause a firm tone. The opening

Ascribes Condition to Criminals

ministration of criminal law in this
country is q disgrace to civilization .
Judge c. A De Courcy of Lawrence,
Mass, justice of the superior court of
Massachusetts, before the American
Prison association last night poirted
out that the United States was con-
spicuous for the great number of IN
punished murderers.

ton of the power of judges and the
character of testimony allowed to be

were some of the evils which" ne said,
Ought to be rectified.
1.-The number of homicides in this
country for 1910 were S,975-an in
crease Of nearly 900 over the number
in 1909; yet but one in Sc We're capt.
tally punished in 1910, as against one
in "A during the year preceding" said
Judge De Courcy.
TT is said that in 1895 for each
million of the population there were
rs homicides in the United States: in
Italy less than IS; in Canada less than
Is; in Great Britain less than 8; in
Germany less than 5.
in the last year in London, with a
population of seven millions, there
were but nineteen cases of murder. OF
the nineteen nurderers, five commit
four were arrested and either con-
victed and executed or committed to
the insane asylum

homicide were investigated by the
grand jury during the last year, but
only As convictions resulted. Chicago
reports 2O2 homicides were committed
in that city during the last year. Only
one of the offenders was hanged; fif-
teen were sent to the penitentiary and
the others were set free In Louis
Vile, with a population of 224.0O0,
during the last year there were Al
cases of homicide and not a single
murderer was hanged. In Alabama
for the two years ending September
80, 1910, $50 cases of homicide were
disposed of and the death penalty was
imposed in but 81 cases. In North
Carolina in the last year there were
141 homicides, and in Ohio 191, and in
each an absurdly small number capt.
tally punished. The report of the at
torney general of Texas states that
there were 1,04S indictm ents for muir
der in that state during the years 1909
and 1910, and undoubtedly a large
number of homicides in addition for
which no indictment was found

Mrs. Shook, 1.-THE dog was in the room
lying on the floor. I don't know how
he got inside The doors were locked .
The authorities believe the murderer
that the slayer must have returned to
the Snowman house Monday after the
dog -ad visited the Shook house. The
murderer then locked the animal in
doors From the condition of the
bodies, it was believed the crime was
committed Sunday night.
His Prison Record Good.
Ieavenworth, Kan, Oct. 18.-The
prison record of Charles Marzyck, sent
up from Ellsworth in 1906 for larceny,
and whose name on the prison record
appears as Charles Mark, was first
class He worked in the overall fac
tory and was paroled February 49, 1909
he did not report after his release and
was finally arrested at Denver and
returned to the prison April of that
year.
A year ago last April he was re-
leased. having completed his sentence.
According to Deputy Warden Charles
Lindsay he went to his father in Cali
fornia. This would bear out the state
ment that he was seen on a westbound
train last year by Ellsworth people.

as Usual.

Kansas City. Oct. 1s.-The motion
for elisors to have charge of the jury
in the second trial of DIR. B. c. Hyde
was overruled by Judge E. E. Porter
field late yesterday afternoon. Fhe
ruling of Judge Porterfield means that
Joel Mayes, county marshal, and a
part of his twenty-one deputies will
have charge of the veniremen and the
jury at the new trial. The decision of
Judge Porterfield came at a few min
utes after O'Clock after an afternoon
Of arguments and clashes between at
torneys for Doctor Hyde and the state.
After Frank P. Walsh had conclud-
ed the arguments for elisors. Judge
Porterheld turned to the clerk of the
court, whispered something to him,
then announced his decision.
1.-The court overru1es the motion on
the application for elisors,' he said
Lost no Time in Directing.
Immediately John H. Lucas jumped
to his feet and said: Il object to the
ruling of the court The stenographer
entered Mr.. Lucas's objection in the
record.
Mr. Walsh said that he would not
appeal to the supreme court from the
decision of Judge Porterfield. but
would go ahead with the case.
