is 1T RIGHT?

In regard to Hayti'> public
square. the CaruthrrSville Ar.
gus has at last wound up its
little hall Of yarn, as follows:
Two things are so true
tina, even Il flnatical editor
would not attempt to deny
them. The first is that Ca
ruthCrSvillc citizens have
every right. legal. moral and
otherwise, to form Il corpora
tion to buy and hold the plot
of ground in Hayti: and the
second, that Hayti has the
same privilege of seeking the
county seat that it always
had when it complies With
the legal requirements Ca
ruthcrsville Argus.
But suppose that PLOT OF
GROUND" should be a public
square, dedicated to the pub
lie by the founder of town
would not that make some diff
ference? The records of the
county showed and the citizens
all knew the intention of the do
matters of this pilot of ground"
and that it was public property,
and the chief instigators III TAX
ing it away from the people were
parties to its plating and dedi-
cation. AS matter of fact, if
the citizens of Caruthersville de-
sired to buy town lots or blocks
of lots in Hayti they would be
welcome to do so and we would
extend them the glad hand, but
when it comes to underhanded
connivance to take our public
property through dim legal tech.
nicaIties, then we object. What
would the people of Caruthers-
vile think if Hayti citizens
should come over there and at
tempt to appropriate public pro-
perty? The Argus knows very
well that it's statement is false
on it's face and contrary to
justice and right. But of course
the Argus cannot tell the truth
and makes no attempt to do so.

OUR CONSOLATION.

There is one consolation about
running a newspaper that many
people do not appreciate.
There are certain people in
every town and in every commu-
nifty who do not take the paper.
from one dislike or another. vet
they have to run around all over
the town or the country to bor-
row the papers from their neigh
bors, to see what it has to say.
Long experience has taught us
that there are few people who do
not read the local papers, no
matter whether they subscribe
for it or not, and no matter how
much trouble they are put to to
borrow it, or how much trouble
they may cause their neighbors
to find the paper for them, they
must have it.
The time spent and the worry
to neighbors caused by such
people would pay for the paper
many times over, but of course
they have to spite" the editor
by not taking it, when the fact is
the editor is generally glad to
rid his books of all such people
and feels relieved when he marks
their names off. Every time the
editor marks off the name of a
crOaker or chronic kicker, he
chuckleS to himself, and hopes
that it may remain off forever.
He has hundreds of good, peace.
,able people to deal with. with
whom business is IA pleasure,
and there are 50 many more
good peopl" than bad ones that
he prefers to be- rid of the bad.
Right here in Hayti we have
been told "f numerous instances
where people worried their
neighbors by borrowing tine Her.
aid, in some cases even before
the paid subscriber had read it.
The other day subscriber had
just received his Herald from the
postotficrs when he met Il
friend" who asked him il that
was the weekly explosion" the
friend told him it was the Hayti
Herald. The first friend
wanted to borrow it, but the
paid subscriber said no, my
wife would not miss one issue o1
the Herald for the price of a
whole years subscription-go

SOMETHING QUEER.

The Herald is not taking a
stand against or for local option.
1t is not advocating a local OPP
tion election either in Caruthers
vile or the county. The Herald
is simply wondering at the drys
of Caruthersvillc. The Herald
is only rejecting the thought of
the people of the county, Are
the drys of our ncighb0rhood
city in earnest in their fight on
saloons: If so, why have they
not demanded an election in
that city? Are they looking at
the question from moral stand
point or a business standpoint?
If from a moral standpoint
strictly as they claim, then why
their silence on a local option
election these many days? Are
they waiting for the county to
vote first? If so, why? Why
should they wait for the county
to vote first? Does the fact that
there are saloons in the county
lessen the moral necessity for
the removal of the saloons from
their city? Why have they not
instigated an election in their
city long ago? VIII the Argus,
their official organ, answer this
simple question? 1t will not,
without assigning business
reasons. We dare it to assign
any other reason. There are
nine saloons in Caruthersville,
while there are only six in the
county. l. it necessary to vote
out the six before the nine? IfI
morals demand that the county
should vote it's saloons out be-
fore Charlottesville votes out ner
saloons, then why cannot the
people in the county say it is
necessary to vote out first the
saloons in Charlottesville? What
is good for the goose ought to be
good for the gander. In 1910
the drys of Charlottesville did
everything possible to prevent
an election from being held in
the county, and after it was held
did everything possible to con-
test it and defeat the result, yet
they did nothing to eradicate
Charlottesville of saloons. Why?
Many weary days have passed
since then, and still they have
done nothing. They have just
waited all this long time, as the
Argus says, to let the saloons
conduct themselves so as to
bring about their undoing. Poor
excuse, indeed. The people OF
Pemiscot county have been sit
ting up and taking notice since
1910, and gradually they have
lost all confidence in the dry ad-
vocates of Charlottesville. The
light has broke in upon them,
and they have discovered that
there is more hot air than sin
cerity in the protestations of
the temperance people of Ca

VICTIM Of

HIS HEAD

A dispatch i'll this mornings Journ

lowing:
The sensation caused yesterday by
the finding of the dead body of Jean

theory evolved from the circumstance
that Menta has been the victim of foul
play.
Menta, prominent and wealthy
sheep owner of Wellington, was
found dead at noon yesterday at
spring short distance east of Noun
tain House on the road from Gard
nerville to wellington. His team was
hitched at point along the road.
The dead man was found 50 yards
distant with the body lying face
downward on rock.
One arm, bent under the body.
rested on Colts automatic revolver.
Four bullets were found in the back
of the head.

that Menta was never known to car
ry a revolver and it is believed he
was shot down from behind as he
was drinking at the spring Robbery
as a motive is excluded from the fact
that the mans watch, a check for
$500 and considerable money were
found on him His watch was run

Menta had no known enemies and

A Review of the Mainstays of the
Two Wonderful Machines of
the National Game
NEW YORK WINS FIRST ...>>
CAME TODAY s To 4

NEW YORK, Oct. Long before
the dawn OF day, long line OF base
ball fans were standing i'll line out
side the gates OF the Polo grounds
seeking admission to the first game
in the world series between the
Giants. Of the National League team,
and the Athletics OF the American
League team today.
The man who can guess the outcome
of the series has his fortune made for
now and all time. Gueses are as
plentiful as watermelons in August.
1t appears to be conceded that the
teams are remarkably we'll mached
this year and the outcome hinges
on whether the. hard hitting Athletics
can overcome what is assumed to be
the stronger pitching OF the Giants.
This is vague, to say the least. but
il simply means that many critics
feel that John ]. McGraw is much
better fortified with pitchers in Math-
cwson, Marquad, Demaree and Tes-
rcau than Connie Mack is with Ben
der, Plank, Houck. Brown and
Shawkey. In a long series this would
count materially, but in short one
il has less significance, unless one of
the stars is not at the top OF his
form.
In this particular case. however, IT
looks to me as il the Athletics woull
not be able to work so much damage
with the stick again the New York
pitchers "a the Giants will, even
though they are behind their oppou-
cnts in team batting, against tn
Philadelphia twilcrs. The chief rca.
son. then. for picking the New York
team lies in what Matty, Marquad,
Demarec and Tesreau can accomplish

in keeping hits scattered and runs
scarce.
Defcnsvely there is little to choose
between the two teams. even though
so much has been written and said
about the wonderful 100000 intield
OF the Athletics, made up OF McInniS,
Collins. Barry and Baker.
Apart from mere figures, the Giants
look a bit stronger in the outheld,
while behind th> bat Big Chief
Meyers is almost sure to prove stead
ier and of more value to his team
than either Shang, or Lapp for Phil
adelphia John J. McGraw and Con
ME Mack are masters of the baseball
world in keen strategy and sound
Judgment, so that in this respect also
there is little to choose and both
teams will be well served.

OF the National League show better
batting, and in ,enly ,one Rlace can
better fielding be fouiH ,laltlsush' Nc
innis and Merkle are practically on

age than Barry, while Herzog and
