The Aberdeen Herald says now
that it did not say that Alex Poison

owed 100000 or so. All right; let
that go. 1t admits that it doesn't
know anything about the affairs of
the World Just as we commended
1t only pretended to know because
it says that mot long ago" it was

of it, was owing to Mr.. Poison Since

ing Tribune-suspended in Septem-
Der, 1910-was merged with the
World-in April, 191O-the editor of
the Herald may have been offered
Tribune stock. But he has never
been offered World stock. If, when
he was delving into the Tribune af-
fairs, he was informed that the World
owed 100000, he was misinformed. If
he was told that such debt or any
part Of the then outstanding debt of
the World was owing Mr.. Poison
then or now-he was misinformed or
listening to old wives tales. That's
the charitable view to take of the
matter and we take it.
The Herald's deliberately attempted
explanation of it's injection of sup
posed World ownership into the Han
son road discussion does not explain.
1t was designed as back-fire solely
and simply. 1t has not obscured the
road issue.
! The end of this diversion merely
shows that the Herald knows moth
ing of our business and did no more
than retail loafers gossip in pretend
ing to know. We imagine that the
public has had enough of this bust
ness. No one, however, can have fur.
Their need for doubt on the ownership
of the World; and any publication
hereafter repeating the Herald's mis-
statements will do so in the full
knowledge that they are misstate
