LAMAR. Mo-, May 8.-Arthur
Aull, the Missouri editor who printed
the ungarnished truth about his
neighbors-and won readers the
world around--is dead.
The 75-year-old publisher Of the
Lamar Daily Democrat died late
last night. For more than a year,
illness had kept him from the clut-
tered Office in which he had printed
the hometown news for Il years.
1t was his contention that in a
town the size Of Lamar. about 5000
population, the most carefully
guarded secret was discovered
eventually and banded around. He
saw it as his duty to get the facts
straight.
He was explicit about domestic af-
fairs, operations and crime. Suicides
and murders often were written as
If he were an eyewitness.
Wrote News Of Neishbors.
After his daily forenoon visits
with farmers, merchants and loaf
ers on the town square" Mr.. Aull
would return with items like these:
Joe Doakes is so happily em-
ployed these days In his big garden
that he has almost entirely ceased,
for the time, to be a nuisance. He
hasn't sat around the house for days
making Mrs. Doakes listen to what
a tough, brimstone-coated child of
He'll he was when he was young
blade"
I'VE certainly got one bloody
head"
Described Dog Fight.
His long account OF an ordinary
dog fight, ended with this observa-
ton: "It was a swell fight. The
owners being sore at each other
gave it extra drama"
Mr.. Aull was . Democrat, but
never ran for ONCE When Harry
Truman, who was born in Lamar,
became President, Mr.. Aull COM
mented:
1--WE are not unfortunate in hav-
ing Mr.. Truman for President. He
wants to please. He is conversant
with statecraft and he is likely to
do pretty well. He is a man
Of fair judgment and real patriotism.
We expect to see him succeed rea-
sonably well in his giant task"
Mr.. Aull, who estimated his formal
education at about six years, taught
a country school in his early life.
Although he never had made more
than a half dozen visits to a news
paper office. he bought the Demo-
crat in 1900 with a capital of 5000.
