square remaining in. litigation

ants, who, while pretending to
want what is reasonable, want
something more. We are will
ing to pay them the money they
have paid out, with interest and
costs, and a reasonable attor-
neys fee. This ought to be suf-
flcient, as the interest of the pub
lie is concerned and not any in
dividual of the public. We be-
lieve this is fair, and unless the
claimants propose to speculate AT

should accept it. So far. they

the end, it will not hurt us to any
grca, degree. Tho square will
probably remain in the same CON
dition, with the building on it.
The building will be perhaps al
tered in some respects and rent
ed for some purpose if a renter
can be found, which of course
would be impossible. The owners
will pay the city and county tax

ours To Us the claimants will be

raised about the matter, we are

square, known as the city hall,
we will explain.
The city put the building on
the square believing that the
county owned the title to the
land, and it was meant as a gift
to the county for courthouse
should the county seat ever be
removed to Hayti. If the county
seat was never removed to Hayti
it was supposed the county would
not object to the city using the
building for Il city hall
The city also believed this
block belonged to the inhabitants
of the town as public square
until it should be used for court
house purposes, no matter who
owned the title to same. If this
block was given to the public for
a public square, those who own
ed the title, whether the county
or private persons, could not in
tcrfere with the inhabitants of
Hayti using it for a public
square, as the title to public pro
perty has nothing to do with the
use. Now, if the city had no
right to erect the building on this
square, the inhabitants, if they
desired, could force the city to
remove it, which of course they
would not do.
This hlock is Il public square
just as though no building was
on il.
The fact building has been
erected on the square by the city
does not make it any less a pub
lie square.
The suit brought by Ivy Will
liamS and others is to recover the
land, and if the land was given
for public square by the own
crS they cannot recover. The
fact a building has been erected
by the city would give them no
right to recover. If they cannot
recover the land they could have
no objection to the building re-
naming on it.
The question to be decided by
the supreme court is whether or
not the Hayes dedicated this
block for u public square, and
not whether the city had a right
to erect building on it.
The evidence shows that the
Hayes did dedicate the Squa re
as public property, in case the
county seat was not removed to
Hayti, and the 191 l decision of the
supreme court affects only the
rights of the county, and not the
rights of the citizens of Hayti.

A REMINDER.

Those who are pointing
to the crimes committed in
our county and saying that
local option is a failure are
forgetful of the fact that it
has not yet had a fair trial
here in our county. The
county has not really been
dry during this time for the
reason that Il supply depot is
maintained in Charlottesville
where any person could OBJ
tain what he wished and
from which place ne could
have his supplies shipped at
any time. The removal of
the saloons in this city would
make a great difference in
the conditions in the coun.
ty." -Caruthersville Argus,
July %, 1909.
But when the four years was
up and an election could be had
to vote the saloons out of Caruth-
ersville, the Argus said not a
word. Seeing that Caruthers-
vile did not intend to do her
part with the saloons, the county
then called for a local option
election to vote the saloons back
in the county, which the Argus
thought was terrible and which
it fought with might and main.
because CarutherSville had the
saloons maintained the supply
depot for the entire county,
which just suited the Argus, and
it did not want the other towns
in the county to have an equal
chance with CarutherSvilIe. The
Argus has now had more than
two years in which to bring
about a local option election in its
own city, but says not word,
for it is afraid such an election
might possibly be had and that
town be put dry. Now, the time
will soon be at hand for another
local option election in the coun-
ty, and mark our word, the Ar
gus will be right in the fray with
both feet. If the Argus is hon
est and wants to do anything,
why does it not join with the
Hayti Herald in demanding cOun-
ty unit. or in the absence of that,
a different city population law
that will place such cities as Hay
ii and CarutherSville on an equal
footing: We repeat, if the Ar
gus is honest, why does it not do
or say something to place itself
on record as demanding justice
and fairness to all the people and
all the cities of the county? Hay
ii is just as good as Caruthers
vile and deserves the same treat,
ment. All the people of Haytj
ask is an equal chance.

Thus the Argus expresses "A
desire that a compromise be
made in the city hall case, be-
cause it would be for the future
welfare of Hayti. We are sur,
but glad to note the Ar

ture welfare. There is some,
