Sharp County record., 1915-10-29
SOMETHING PERSONAL

The Record has it from more
than one source, and all reliable,
that a certain offic e-holder in this
country, and a candidate for re-
election, is making boasts publicly
that in the campaign soon to open
he intends to SHOW up" the editor
of the Record; that he is going to
put his friends and the people of
this county "onto" the editor of the
Record, and making use of other
veiled threats, which to all respect
sble and intelligent people consti-
tute the lowest and dirtiest order of
slander.
Now then
We call our readers to witness
that the editor of this paper has
never made a personal attack on
any living man. In the matter of
politics, this paper talks of public
records or does not talk at all. That
is exactly the course this paper will
pursue in the coming campaign,
and for the benefit of those simple
tons who think they can intimidate
or frighten this paper, we announce
right here and now that in the COM
ine campaign it will take just such
a part as it feels the interests of
the people demand, and all those
who are imagining this paper is
afraid of what any man may either
do or say may as we'll readjust his
thinking apparatus and get on the
right track.
Now then
Public records are public proper
ty, and the right to discuss them
has existed since the dark ages.
No man holds an office that be-
longs to him. All public offices be-
long to the people, and they may
give them to whom they choose,
and all this in spite of any public
parasite who has become afflicted
with swell-head because he has an
Office and imagines that the office
is his own individual property, to
have and to hold until Gabriel
blows his horn. No honest man
objects to honest, legitimate criti-
cism. Put that down in your book,
and remember it.
Now then
The editor OF this paper has so
far spent his days here. Sooner or
later, he expects to go under the
grass right here in these hills. If
the editor Of this pap r is not right,
the people ought to know 1t. If he
is not what he claims to be, the
people ought to know it, If any
man can SHOW him up" he ought
to do it. All we ask Of the man
who Is going to do the work is that
he do the job in broad and open
daylight and not behind our back,
and that he give US notice OF the
time and place where the job is
to be done, so that we may have a
white mans chance. II the shyster
salary-erabber who is stabbine us
in the back can Oct any more OF
our hide than we can peel Of his In
a fair fight, he Is more than vel
come to It.
Now then
The Record stands for the inter-
esls and the rights Of the common
people, and there Is not an Office
under the sun that we want either.
Certain high-brows scattered here
and there have nothing at all
ag ,ifst the Record except that they
cannot control and change Its pol
