A Deserved Reproof.

Liability to Mysteries is not com.
monty supposed to be a trait of the
British national character. Neverthe-
less, there have been symptoms within
the past few days in certain sections
of the Unionist press to circulate SEN
sational and ridiculous rumors with
regard to the approaching imperial
conference.-London Post.

Tom Lawson's suggestion of a
new party with a national ticket
headed with the name of Theodore
Roosevelt, with John A. Johnson
III second place, possesses the
feature of novelty if nothing else.
That will hardly work, though; the
country is not quite ready to break
loose from party organization al
together, although partisan ties do
not bind nearly as tightly as they
used to do.

NEWSPAPER SUBSCRIPTIONS

the price Of white print paper and
the advance Of type and al material
entering into Tie production of a
newspaper, have reduced profits
very near the vanishing pojnt.
The only thing fer ;he pu5li<her
; o do is 10 raise thc price OF his
product or retire from lhe field: for
he cannot do business for the fun
of it any more than can the mer-
chant; It's TOO expensive. Very
few country newspapers in Mime
sofa are sold for less than Sl.5O a
year. The remaining few that
still cling to the Sl.OO year basis
are seeing the uselessness of it and
will soon raise their prices. The
day of the sl.OO a year weekly
paper is practically passed.
The daily papers are cutting off
all their exchanges, complimentary
copies and papers semitic their cor
respondents, ard are also raising
their prices. By recent ruling of
the postofficc department daily
paper cannot be sent through the
mails after Jan. l, 1908, unless it
is paid for in advance. Possibly
the same ruling may be applied to
the weekly country papers.
The Herald regrets that it has
been compelled to raise the price
of subscription: but in view of the
existing conditions no other course
is open. The Herald appreciates
the fact that nearly all the members
Of it's large family of readers are
reasonable about the matter and
pay the increased rate without
complaint. The subscription list
has some errors in it, but these will
be corrected in time. A subscriber
should always demand and receive
and then preserve a receipt for the
payment of subscription; then there
will be no dispute. There is quite
an amount outstanding on the
subscription list of The Herald TO-
day. Prompt payment of all de-
linquencies will be greatly appreci-
ated.

The demand that New York bank
make it possible for the banks OF the
whole country to resume, by resumlng
themselves, is not only growing louder
from all over the land, but is even
spoken distinctly in New York city.
The Evening Post, of that city, says
that the interior banks cannot be ex-
pected to ship money to the metropolis
as long as they have to pay premium
to get it out again, which is sell
evident. And the great compelling
reason why New York should resume
is that no earthly good can be ac-
complished by failing to do so. The
country is safe, and nobody, except
the Manhattan Island contingent, IS
afraid.-St. Paul Dispatch.

Mississippi is pre-eminently an agri-
cultural State. 1t always has been aud
likely always viii be. Its citizens would
ave it SO. No State in the Union shows
SO large a per cent. of all wealth invested
in agriculture or a larger per cent, Of
the population engaged in agricultural
pursuits. 1t is as it should De. and as
it must remain.
In nothing has Mississippi shown great
er development during the past few years
than agriculture. The progress made
has been especially gratifying to those
who have labored for this result, and the
prospects for the future are bright, in
deed. A well-detined and persistent cam
paign to that end has been conducted
along broad lines that has enlisted the
cooperation of farmers and those inter
ested in agriculture and stock raising.
\ campaign of education, both by pre-
cept and example, has been conducive of
the best results. Organizations among
the farmers have been encouraged and
proven successful. Experiment stations
are becoming more attractive year by
year, and the farmers Institutes have
shown an increased attendance that was
beyond the anticipations of their most
ardent advocates. Agricultural papers
have increased i'll circulation as if by
magic, and ten men write instructive and
helpful articles today where there was
only II so qualified IA few years back.

SOUTH IS FLOODED Die IN CLOUDBURST
FOLSOM, N. NJ, AND VICINITY IN
TRACK OF STORM.
MANY HOUSES WERE DESTROYED
Trains Are Annulled, With Tracks
Washed Out for Miles in the
Stricken District.

Trinidad, Cola c%loudburst just
south of here wrought terrible
havoc and destruction in Colorado
and across the line in New Mex
leo about Thursday midnight.
Advices just received give the death
loss at Folsom, N. NJ, 100 miles south
of here, at possibly a dozen. At least
II are known to be dead.
A local undertaken has received an
order for six coffiins. Undoubtedly the
supply of coftiins in the little New
Mexico town has already been ex-
hausted.
The cloudburst was just west of
Folsom. 1t sent a flood through the
city, carrying death with it. Eleven
persons are known to have gone down
with the flood in the houses, and it is
believed that others have been lost.
1t was by far the highest water ever
known here. The flood burst upon the
town about midnight. 1t is said that
several frame houses from above Fol-
som were seen floating down the river
by those living on the hills. The lost
are.
But little is known of the loss near
er Trinidad and within the Colorado
line. A dozen bridges are reported
washed out south of here and Trini-
dad is practically cut off from all
outside railroad communication.

ley, arrested as the murderer of Pa
trolman w. p. Stephens, from an in
furiated mob of the dead mans fellow
officers, who threatned to kill Brad
ley as he was taken from the chiefs
office to the Jail.
Bradley was pummeled over the
head and shoulders and struck in the
face. He bled from the nose, ears
ara mouth after he was locked in a
cell.

killed Stephens Tuesday night.
Fifty patrolmen, comprising the
night detail, participated.
Bradley. accompanied by a half doz-

down to the Jail. In a second there
was a rush. Uniformed men scram-
bled and fought to get at the prisoner.
One policeman struck Bradley over
the head with his club. Sergt. Rus

Friday.
The decision, which will apply to
the ballot boxes of any precinct where
fraud is charged, was handed down
by Judge Taylor the minute he con-
vened court Friday morning. The ac-
ton was so prompt that the lawyer
waiting to defend three election Off
Gals about to be arraigned had no
time to offer his intended objection.
He obtained a continuance for n
week for his clients, and this post
poned the opening of the boxes for
the same length of time.
