The Kemper herald. (Scooba, Miss.) 1875-1908, 1906-12-27

This is the last issue of the
KEMpER HERALD which we will
send to probably one hundred of
our $50 called subscribers-"so-
called" because a genuine sub
scriber pays for the periodical to
which he subscribes, and the
parties referred to have dead
beat us out of various sums from
$3.50 to $500.
Without exception, those who
have "done" US for the larger
sums, got into US through the
miejudgment of the late owner of
the HERALD plant, Col. Jas. Ii.
Duke, who assured US on more
than one occasion that he knew
each and every one of thom per-
sonally, that they were all good
men-perhaps q little slow, but
that all would pay i'll good time.
Our good friend was sadly mis-
taken, to the shame of those in
whom he placed his confidence.
We have endeavored, by threat
as well as persuasion, to obtain
settlements from these parties,
but failed; we have concluded
that we had best cut Oft this ex-
pense from which we receive no
return-if the parties referred to
are honest. as Mr.. Duke claimed,
they will pay anyhow.
We comnlisserate those who
do not. Our readers are proba-
bly, familiar with the Biblical
parable OF Lazarus and the rich
man, and the later experience OF
each. We shall hate to have to
act the part of Lazarus toward
some of these "dear brethren"

Put it in the Paper.

The other day a local mer-
chant happened to see a farmer
receiving some goods at the
depot and noticed that they
came from a Chicago mail order
house. He noticed also the
goods were right in his line ard
the same he had carried i'll his
store for years. lie Immediately
approached the farmer and said:
Il could have sold you every
article you have there for less
money than you paid the Chi
cago house aud save you freight
BESIDES" "Then why in the
devil didn't you say So" an
swered the farmer. 81 have
taken two county papers for a
year and / have never seen aline
about you selling these goods.
This mail order house sent me
advertising matter asking for
my trade and they got it. If you
have any bargains, why didn't
you have them put in the paper
so we can see where they are?"
They ended the argument and
the merchant went up to corral
other merchants who never adj
vertise and explain to them that
the mail order house was rnining
their business.-Ex.

HOW IT WORKS IN ENGLAND.

Mr.. Bryan 5 utterances in reference
to the government ownership of rail
roads makes it seem that he must have
made his tour of the world with his eyes
shut or with determination to see only
what he wanted to see Otherwise when
he was in England he could not avoided
learning that one of the political issues
being rapidly pushed to the front by
municipal ownership in British cities is
the proposition to disfranchise all mu-
nicipal employees and not permit them
to vote at municipal elections. The rea-
son for this is that in many places these
employees own the municipal govern
ments. They control elections and force
the administration of the publicly owned
street railways, gas plants, electric
light plants, etc. in their interests rath-
er than in the interests of the taXpay-
ers who foot the bills, or of worlmen in
other lines.of employment. Under this
system their compensation has been ad-
vanced above the general level of wages
and they have been converted into a
sort Of labor aristocracy out of sympa-
thy with the general body of working
men. But this is not all. Prof. Hugo
r. Mayer, who has made an exhaustive
study of municipal ownership in Great
Britain, estimates.that the policy Of the
municipalities and the restriction placed
on private enterprise have resulted in
depriving Of employment in Great Brit
ain to no less than 100000 people who
might have been employed in street
railway, electric light and power plants,
telephone service and electrical manu-
featuring enterprises had private cap
ital been as free to enter the field of
supplying public utilities as it has been
in the United States.

BRYAN AND ARBITRATOR.

Mr.. Bryan has been telling the rail-
way men of North Carolina that it was
his advocacy of arbitration in labor dis
putes that defeated him in 1896. He is
quoted as saying in one speech that he
wrote the arbitration plank in the Dem
ocratic platform, was devoted to that
plank, and that those who deserted him
in that campaign did so because of his
attitude on arbitration, and not because
OF his attitude on Free Silver. Il tell
you, '',,said Mr.. Bryan, st was not the
silver plank but the clause for arbitra-
ton that drove them away"
This Is a remarkable statement. COM
ing from this peerless leader" of the
Democratic party. 1t would lead one
to believe that Mr.. Bryan was the
apostle lof arbitration and not of free
silver in that celebrated campaign of
1896. But the Republican convention,
in 1896, was held two weeks before the
Democratic convention, and it had an
arbitration plank almost identical with
that lin the Democratic platform. In
ordinary affairs the credit for advancing
the idea would be given to the party
first adopting it. More than that, the
Republican Congress enacted an arbi-
tration law in harmony with the Repub-
lican platform, providing for arbitration
in railway labor disputes, authorizing
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to first attempt to conciliate and then
provides for a board of arbitrators.
That law was passed by the 55th Con-
gress, soon after Mckinley S Inaugural
ton. Mr.. Bryan made brilliant rec
ord as an orator in that campaign, and
free silver was the burden Of his song.
Who remembers hearing him tearing
passion to tatters over arbitration, as
he did over the Crime of 1872" And
what became of his arbitration enthusi-
asm in the campaign of 1900, when he
absolutely dominated the Kansas City
convention and made the platform on
which he was willing to stand? That
Democrotic platform is silent on arbi-
tration.
Mr.. Bryan's claim might also be en-
barassed by the State laws, creating
boards Of arbitration in fully one-half
the Republican States of the Union,
while there are barely two Democratic
States that have such laws. The trouble
seems to be that Mr.. Bryan is finding it
difficult to land Democratic issue that
has not been discarded by the Ameri-
can people.

THURSDAY. OCTOBER 4. 1906.
FOR CONGRESS:
George A. Pearre.
CAMPAIGNS OF 1896 AND 1906.

Ten years ago this fall we were in
the throes of political campaign as we
are now, but under different circum-
stances. Then we had a Democratic
tariff. Business was PROSTATE, men
were idle, and large portion of the
people were simply trying to make both
ends meet-trying simply to exist. But
November finally came, and the DemOc
racy's candidate for President and can
didates for Congress were defeated.
Mckinley and Republican House of
Representatives were elected, and
few hours after his inauguration the
Advance Agent of Prosperity called an
extra session of Congress to promptly
correct the existing conditions. " And
how promptly those conditions were cor
rected. By July oath, 1897, the Dingley
Bill had passed both Houses and
had been approved by the President,
and every year since has been prosper
ity heaped on prosperity, higher and
higher, because the people have had
faith in the Republican party and conf
dence in its policies. What change
has come to our country and our people
since that campaign of ten years ago.
That Fall the largest crop of corn ever
harvested brought the farmers less
than $500, 00Q, GOO, this year a crop not
much larger will bring the farmers
more than double the amount they got
in 1896. In manufacturing, the output
is fully double that Of the Fall Of 1895,
and in transportation, in merchandising
and every branch of industrial activity
in every part Of cur country, we are en-
joying twice and thrice the blessings
and benefits that came under Democ-
racy and free trade ten years ago.
The election Of Hon. George A.
Pearre to Congress from the Sixth Con-
gressional District will tend to per-
petuate Republican policies and the
present prosperous condition Of the
country. 1t will be for the voters to
decide on November 9Th, and the decis-
ion should be emphatic.

RESTORATION OF NATIONAL ROAD

The multiplication of the automobile
has given wonderful impetus to the
good roads movement and especially
to the demands for the restoration Of
the old national road. America S APP
plan Way, it was called a century ago,
when it was begun, and surely it was a
monster undertaking for the infant ma
ton to build the great thoroughfare
from Cumberland, Md, to Vandala,
Ill. The advent of the steam railroad
pat it in the back ground from which
another new method Of transportation
promises to rescue it.
Congressman Pearre, Of Cumberland.
introduced in the last session of con-
gress bill providing that the fedora
government should reconstruct the old
national road and maintain it, but it
has only served, as was intended, as the
beginning of an agitation throughout
the country, both practical and senti-
mental in its objects.
Much of the road is said still to be in
surprising good repair, although its con-
struction began about 1904. Since 1874
government care decreased, and the
road finally passed out of its supervision
and was taken up by turnpike COM
panies, which kept it in good condition
until, one by one, they went out of eX-
istence, and the road was left to the
rather neglectful supervision of the
several states.
Money for the original construc-
ton, says writer in the Evening
Post of New York, was raised from
the sale of lands coded by the far-ex-
tending states of Virginia, the dominat-
ing factor in federal affairs of colonial
days. At the beginning of the last GER
fury the valley of the Ohio was fast
filing with settlers, most Of them
trudging west from Virginia The
Observation-Disclosures road, following
an Indian trail across the mountains,
was the route of the pioneer emigrant.
A general demand arose for a better
means Of communication between the
old commonwealth and the Ohio valley,
and Virginia agreed to cede to the fed
eral government all that part of her
domain north of the Ohio river on con-
dition that percentage of the money
derived from the sale of land there
should be assigned the construction of
public highway connecting the fringe of
Virginia settlements with what was
then the Western frontier Official re-
cords show that Sc, 852, 900 was realized
in this way. That this insured thorough
construction is evidenced from the CON
dition Of the road after a century's use
with but little in the way of recent re-
pairs. At some Of the places along the
route old covered wooden bridges con-
structed from 60 to 80 years ago, are
still standing, apparently good enough
to carry traffic for years to come.
The old national road played a big
part in the making of this nation-it
fostered the national idea which later
held the nation intact, even when the
road had fallen into disuse; and out of
it sprang the era of internal improve
ments. 1t promises to play an i'm
portant part in the history of the

Something More About The Army.

Sergeant Sibert, in charge of the
local recruiting station at the Manhat-
tan Hotel, informs US that the recruit
ing has been very slow for several
months past and the United States
Army needs recruits for cavalry and
coast artillery very badly, but enlist
ments will be made for infantry if APP
pllcants prefer that branch of the SER
vice.
The Sergeant states that an enlist
ment in the army is an excellent oppor-
tunity for young man to obtain a
training that will be useful to him in
later life, especially for farmer boys,
and young men who have not the means
to travel and mingle with men other
than in their own vicinity.
"a man who stays in one place, "
says Sergeant Sibert, ''gets in a rut
which is very hard to get out of when
one reaches middle age Army training
teaches what dicipllne means, which is
necessary in any successful bushes S
mans life. A soldier is required to take
care of himself under all circumstan-
ces, especially how his food should be
cooked and what to do as first aid to
injured. He has plenty of time to study
and obtain an education. For these
purposes there are post schools and
reading rooms with post and company
libraries. Any ambitious young man
who takes advantage of his opportuni-
ties after an enlistment of three years
Is better prepared for any walk in life.
The pay appears to be very small, but
when it is taken into consideration that
he is furnished with everything he
needs, and the pay proper is clear cash
to him, it is not so small as it seems.
Then did it ever occur to some that
that there are men to whom money
grabbing is not a pleasure, and to whom
the daily grind of going to an office is
insupportable. Some of US, though
fairly intelligent, and by no means
ignorant, have no trade or profession
The enlisted man with his pay aver
aging from $13 to $75 per month may
not have the mirage of millions before
his mind 5 eye, but he has his compen-
Stations. While the anaemic bookkeep-
er, whom our critics would have us
emulate, has been pouring over his
ledger in stuffy office we have been
famed by the winds and tanned by the
suns Of the trades and tropics.
I'VE have fraternized with the red
coats on the Alameda of Gibralter and
driven the rickshaws in the streets Of
Singapore. The rattle of fire arms and
the close whistle Of bullets have given
US such a thrill as John Rockefeller
never experience, and yet we are
tainted because we wont stay at home
and rule ledgers. 1t is a known fact
that soldier can save more money
than the average man on the outside.
What has the average man left at the
end Of the week after paying for his
board, room and incidental expenses and
buying the necessary clothes? He may
save hundred or so dollars in a year,
and then be taken sick for several
weeks. He gets up minus the hundred
and perhaps in debt, while the United
States Army boys, if taken sick, have
the very best medical attendance and
our pay goes an lust the same. -
