The Issue vs Facts in Pemiscot County Dockets
A critical letter from a Cape Girardeau contributor analyzes an almanac sheet called The American Issue and its claim that saloons overwhelm Pemiscot courts. It contrasts criminal docket cases totaling 119 with 324 civil matters, mocks the Issue’s assertions on murder, gambling, and other crimes, and defends the court’s handling and the town’s legal system. It also notes local society items and Willis Young bail disputes, urging fair law administration.
