and although the item didn't say So
only intimately indignant at the closing
of the ice cream stalls on Sunday, had
formed club, a permanent club and
elected officers. This club, il was init
mated, would build club house in the
vicinity of Silver Lake for the purpose
OF giving these over-worked young men

The names of the officers were given,
and among the names was that of L. +.

Why don't the Argus be more
explicit, single out the men it de.
sires to defeat at the polls this
fall, and let the pepole know just
where it stands?
Why does the Argus try to
carry water on both shoulders,
pretend to be democratic, and
then at the same time, continual.
ly knitting it's party?
Perhaps it is as a prominent
socialist member of the Argus
company stated the other day:
The editor does not know his
politics, whether he is a demo.
crat. socialist or a republican,
but if he knew, he would be a
socialist
There arc plenty of good men
in the democratic party to fill all
offices, whether they are old or
young politicians, and as we can
not turn democrats out without
turning republicans in, we are
with our ticket to finish.

1t is not rule of this paper to
make comments on trials in the
circuit court nor to criticise or
applaud the results thereof, and
were it not for the fact that re-
publican newspaper of the cOun-
ty at great length and in minute
detail has commented upon the
recent trial of the present prose
cutting attorney OF the county in
the circuit court. for the alleged
otfenSe OF receiving certain
money from the county to which
he was not legally entitled, we
would say nothing about this
trial any more than we would
any other trial had in the circuit
court. We understand why this
republican paper said what it did
and in the way it did about this
particular trial The proSecu-
ting attorney, the defendant in
this trial, is the democratic nomi-
nee for reelection, and he has an
opponent who is the nominee of
the republican party. If this re
publican paper can belittle the
democratic nominee for prose
cutting attorney in the eyes of the
voters, according to the republi
can code of political procedure. il
would be short in the perform
ance of its duty to the republican
nominee for prosecuting attor
ney should it not do so. We re
fer to that code adopted b!
the republican bosses.
We know there are many hon
est republicans who believe il
clean politics, but this class o
gentlemen has very little to do o
say with the management q
their party's affairs. We wor

THEIR MISTAKE.

Any person who does not want
to subscribe for the Herald, does
not want to advertise in it or
give it their business, is at per-
feet liberty not to do so. but
when they withdraw from the
paper through spite, to do the
paper an iniury-to kill it or
drive it out of business, they are
making a mistake that they will
regret. and they will find that
they have took the worst end of
the bargain. There is sure to
come a day in the life Of every
man when he will feel the need
of his home paper and when its
services will be sought, for your
town, your country, your people,
your church, lodge on school, or
marriage. birth, sickness, mis-
fortune or death All through
life you need your home paper,
and whatever you may think of
it or how much in riot you may
let your hatred run toward it, it
goes or just the same, serving
YOU in Il thousand ways. II is

1t is getting about time to look
after the new depot that is to be
built in Hayti. Quite awhile ago,
when the State Railroad and
Warehouse Commission met in ST.
Louis, it was promised that work
would begin within 30 days.
The promise has not been kept.
and if there is any good reason
for this delay, the people of Hay
ii should know what that reason
is. We are informed that work
will soon begin. but that infor-
nation is not definatc. Our
people should remember that
winter will soon be here again,
and that if work is not begun
right away it will again be put
off until next spring. as it will
be impossible to do this kind OF
work during the winter months.
Is it possible that the Frisco is
delaying for the purpose of hav
ing this excuse? Our people
should learn the facts, and ACT
accordingly.
