There is no desire on our part to enter into any controversy with
the Caruthersville Argus, nor with any other paper of that class, but
since it Is perfectly clear that the Argus is now and has been anxious
to laud itself at the expense not only of the Hayti Herald but at the
expense of everything in sight, we will state that if necessary we are
perfectly willing to measure lances with that paper, if it becomes
necessary for us to do so, in order to quench its egoism.
So far, the Argus has been silenced and went down in inglorious
defeat bv every paper with which it has had a controversy. TheTwice-a-Veek"Democrat
silenced the Argus, and the Portageville Critic
forced the Argus to admit that its insinuations, construed to effect
our judges, were base and groundless. It seems that the Argus should
become mindful of its weakness, and keep the names of others out of
its mouth. There are two sides to overy question, Argus.
It is all right with the Hayti Herald and with every intelligent
person, for the Argus to believe us it wants to believe and preach as
it wants to preach, but it must learn, sooner or later, th.it others have
the same right, and it is best to let other newspapers and individuals
exercise their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
These remarks are called out at this particular time by the silly
gush in column 2, which the Argus reproduced from that weakling,
tho Morohouso Hustler, which shows the beligerency of the Argus
toward tho Hearld.
In column 1 will bo found tho policies of tho Hayti Herald from
.ts first issuo to the present, and we leave the case with the people.
Hayti Herald, Odt. 30, 1908.
This was the first issuo of the
Hayti Herald.
When a man starts a business, a
store, a hotel, a restaurant, or be
comes a professional man, mechan
ic or public olllcial, he must nco
cessarily start out to do business
with all the people, and not with
any particular class. So in giv
ing the Hayti Herald life wo are
actuated purely by business mo
tives. We have no other depen
dence for a living and tho support
of our family, and the dollar of
tho just and the unjust will buy just
the same amount of bread and meat
and littlo dresses. But these dol
lars must come to us in a business
way, for business purposes, when
that business is recognized and
protected and made possible by the
laws of the land. We will neither
justey, condone or paliate for evil
doing, but wo shall leave it to tho
courts and the ollicers of the law to
enforce and carry the law into ef
fect, and we shall expect to be re
lieved of further duty than jury
service.
Hayti Herald, June 10, 1909.
That Fred Morgan ad. See the
wilful, malicious and premeditated
lie oftlio Morehouse Hustler, sought
to bo porpetuuted by tho Caruthers
ville Argus.
It is not our desire to run whis
key and beer advertisements in a
local option town, but there is
about $1,. 'WO tied up in this print
ing establishment, and it must be
made to pay its way. Those peo
ple who complain on this class of
advertising can very easily over
come this objectionable feature by
giving us sulllcient patronage to
live without this class of advertis
ing. If you cannot do this, keep
your peace. This paper is going
to make a living. Wo have no
money to sacrifice. It must pay its
way; and while we respect tho feel
ing of overy one, we also respect
tho feeling of self and family, and
when wo can earn money in a law
ful way, from a lawful business,
nermitted and protected under tho
laws of our country, we feel that
wo have dono well. This is our
position, exactly as stated in the
first issue of the paper.
Hayti Herald, Nov. 25, 1909.
The Morehouso Hustler is one of
those ono-idead papers. Now it is
perfectly satisfactory to us for tho
Hustler to have its own opinion,
and it would not be worth z contin
ental if it did not have, but one
thing certain about it, tho Hustler
will have to accord others the same
rights it asks for its self. The world
would hardly stand if everybody
were of the same opinion, had tho
same mind and feeling and thought
and acted alike. In that state, wo
would retrograde and decline more
tiian to any dark ago of the past.
There have been times in the world's
history when people were persecuted
and oven burned at tho stake be
cause they did not believo or do a
certain way. This sumo spirit is in
tho world today. Hut through all
ages there have lived a sulllcient
number of broad, liberal-minded
people to preserve tho affairs of
men in tact, to forget oppression,
tyramny, wars und bloodshed an to
strive on for advancement and
have preserved an equilibrium of
things that foster and piotect free
thought and free speech and to re
turd solllshneBs, jealously, envy,
und spite. Of course wo have this
class with us and they will continue
with us us long as time. Wo cun
not remedy this defect with which
nuturo has endowed them, but wo
must tolerate them and iet them
continue in their nurrow confines.
This is not all for tho Hustler, how
over. Tho Wakarusa Degree Team, I. O.
R. M. will visit Mahngotayseo Tribe
at Concord next Saturday night, to
put ou the floor work.
Hayti Herald, Nov. 11, 1909.
Some one has censured the Her
ald for accepting saloon advertis
ing, etc. Now, suppose you had
a store, and a saloon man should
como into your store to buy a bill
of goods. You would sell to him,
to bo sure. It is just the same with
a newspaper. Our space is our
stock in trade; it is for sale; it
makes our living, feeds our family
and keeps the paper going. We're
not working for glory, not by a
long shot, but for an honorable living.
The Pemiscot Argus and
Morehouse Hustler
Boomerang.
An Article Copied from the
Morehouse Hustler in last
Week's Argus.
But there is a difference, just the
same, and you acknoledge it your
self sometime ago. I have not yet
seen an apology from you for any
ad thatamerchantcarries with you,
but when your ad for Fred Morgan's
saloon at Caruthersville appeared
tho first time you did apologize for
it by aiking your readers not to be
huffy about it as the government
had made his a legtimato business.
There is a vast difference between
a merchant selling a saloon keeper
a bill of goods and a newspaper
selling the same man advertising
space. Public opinion makes the
difference, and public opinionmakes
everything. A newspaper man must
bo more careful about his business
than most people. A merchant can
sell a man a gun and that gun kill
another man in a few hours, and
nobody thinks any thing about it.
But in this case, only two people
knew anything about the purchase
and tho merchant did not. know the
purpose for which the gun was pur
chased. But a newspaper man
talks to several hundred people
every week, and when he advertises
a business that is more harmfull
and destructive than selling a gun,
tho public will hold him responsible.
It s a hard matter for a newspap
er to walk tho fence, even if it wishes.
Tho best way is to take one sico or
tho other and expect no favors from
the opposition. You won't make
quite as much money out of it, but
you will have the satisfaction of
poing guided solely by your own
conscience, und thut alone is worth
considerable.
We disagree with the man who
takes tho saloon side, but wo do not
disrespect him, when we know lie is
voicing his own sentiments. But
wo do have a supreme contempt for
tho man who plays tho middle;
afraid to flop on elthor side. If a
newspaper man is morally res
ponslablo for tho reading matter
that enters his paper, (and he is)
then ho should also bo morally re
sponsiablo for tho advertisolng lie
curries (and lie is.) This puts it
up to tho newspaper man pretty
straight, but it is us it should be.
Perhaps if tho Hayti Herald made
no further comment on tho above,
at this time, it might have to do so
later, so wo will repeat and empha
size that the Herald Is not for any
set or clan, but for all tho people,
und so long as the saloon buslnes
1b conducted according to tho laws
of tho land they have a right under
the law and wo havo to transact le
gitimate business, just the sumo as
the preachers, churches, Sunday
schools, religious, charitable and
public Institutions havo a right
and do accept contributions from
tho saloon keeper, only moro so,
because wo earn our money.
Our school teachers spent Thanks
giving at their respective homes, and
havo returned to their work, some of
thorn looking brighter than before.
