City Marshal Robertson was

In the meantime one of Aliens

anything about the proposition
will even doubt, let alone deny
this statement. 1t is a fact be.
yond dispute or controversy
No one knows better than Wal.
ker that that is his business
here. One fact alone is sufficient
to eStab biSh the truth of this.
Walker knows Hayti is not large
enough to support two newSpa.
perS: he knows even one paper
here has always had a struggle
to exist. He knows in addition
to this that PemiScot county is
overStocked with newspapers.
1t is said he has had many years
experience in the newspaper
business, and if so, he is bound
to know the truth Of this condi-
tion. He does know it. That is
not all. He came here and made
"a personal investigation. He
found a small faction bitterly
against the Herald and fell in
with them. The fact is he was
invited here by old feudaliStic Al
len who is the head and tail and
entrailS of the dark lantern agi-
tation to put this paper out of
business. Allen has boaSted
that he would make the editor
walk out Of town. He cares
nothing for our family and the
little helpless children depend
ing upon us nor for his aged re-
lative. He cares nothing for any
one but himself. He is as full of
spite as mad dog is of rabies
and as vicious. This is the gen
tleman() who engineered the
scheme to get Walker here, and
Walker knows this is the truth.
Walker was not invited here by
the merchants and business men
of the town. He knows this.
Allen was about to get his Rus
sian Jew, and two other buSi-
ness men," TO back Walker, but
they declined. Outside of this.
we understand. Walker was, if
anything, discouraged by the
business men. Walker knows
all TINS. Ihen., is not the matter
plain, absolutely plain: His only
hope and his only chance is to
put the Herald out of business
and have the field to himself, and
then the people would have no
other alternative but to suffer
what radical bunk he saw fit to
unload upon them. Now it is up
to the business men and the pub.

they can do it quickly. 1t is not
