THIS item Of local interest l take
from the Sikeston Standard of the
9th inst.
Iron County held a special local
option election last Saturday with the
result that the county went dry by
1916 votes. Both sides contested every
possible point and a full vote is re-
ported to have been cast. Some of
the ablest speakers of the state were
engaged on both sides and the
proposition was discussed from every
standpoint.
That is a true, full and explicit
statement of the contest and its re-
sults-with the following unimportant
exceptions: "Both sidesn DID NOT
"contest every possible point;" a
full vote was not cast; "some of the
ablest speakers in the state were''
NOT "engaged on both sides," and
'the proposition was' NOT 'discussed
from every standpoint" Not a single
"wetn speech was made, not a "wet''
meeting held, nor a "wet' canvasser
employed. With a full vote and a
determined %oppositiona different con-
clusion might have been obtained.

KAISER IS CRAZY
IF HE AT THIS TIME ADDS ITALY
TO THE LIST OF HIS
ENEMIES

Rome, Aug. Germany and Aus
tria threaten Italy with the declara-
ton that if the latter persists in its
stand of neutrality they will consider
themselves free to declare war and
Austria will invade Venet:a and Lom-
hardy.
King Victor Emmanuel has de-
clared that he is not compelled by
the triple alliance to go to war in
Germany's behalf, inasmuch as Ger
many was the aggressor. and that
Italy will maintain the strictest
neutrality. The people here are ex-
cited and there is much anti
German feeling as a result of the
position taken by Germany and Aus
tria.
