Plain Talk No. 4

Suppose that you were about to take a
load of hay to market and should find some
sage brush sticking out from the side of the
load, would you pull it out? Of course, YOU
would. You know that if you didn't you
would have an almighty hard time to sell
that hay at anything near it's real value So.
if you desire to have your real personal
worth quickly recognized in a business wav.
in a social way or in matrimonial way, you
should do with yourself just what you would
do with that load of hap and if there is any
sage brush sticking OUT pull it out By all
means show good outside and dress up.
Don't you know that if it were not for the
peacock's feathers, the hen wouldn't have
anything to do with him? And that bob
tailed rooster isn't in it with one with
long tail?
Now, in dressing up you don't want to
make yourself out other than what you are
If you did, you would be as awkward as an
ostrich with it's head in the sand On the
contrary, you like to wear clothes in which
you are perfectly at home from the very first
time you put them on. Such clothes, how
, ever, are only made to measure. Now, don't
run away with the idea that such clothes will
cost you too much. Just come to me and they
need not cost you but little if anything more
than store clothes.

Gets Better Place.

Prof. Glenn w. Herrick, recent ly
kicked out OF the Mississippi A. & NJ.
College at the instigation of Presi-
dent Hardy and Governor Noel, has
been elected to the office of state en-
tomologist of Texas by the board of
trustees of the A. & NJ. College of that
commonwealth.
The salary of the Texas position
is much larger and the place is more
desirable for other reasons. and the
friends of Prof Herrick in this state
will be glad to know that his profess
sional standing has not been impaired
by the petty jealousies and personal
animosities existing at Starkville.
Mississippi has lost a valued public
servant, while Texas has honored a
man in every way worthy of the trust
imposed in him.

The Best Paid Editor.

Arthur Brisbane, editor of Hearst
New York American is said to re-
ceive a salary of $72 900 a year. He is.
therefore, the highest paid editor in
the world.
The Editor and Publisher asks: Is
any man really worth such an enorm.
Gus salary?
Brisbane is or he would not be re-
ceiving it. Hearst owns ten great
daily newspapers and four magazines
and Brisbane directs the editorial pol.
icies of all of them. Not one of these
could possibly stand Brisbane's sal
airy, which is probably assessed upon
all of them prorata
A man is usually worth what he can
earn, whether he is digging a ditch
or running an insurance company. And
Mr.. Hearst knows that Brisbane has
been offered more money than he is
paying him to go with other newspa-
pers; therefore, he is satisfied that his
estimate of the value of the mans
services is not exaggerated.
Mr.. Brisbane is a remarkable Jour
nalist. Measured by some standards
he is not a great newspaper man.
Measured by others he is the most dis
tinguished journalist of our day.
As matter of fact he has done
what no other editor has ever dome
he has created an editorial page that
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1908-09-11

has made the greatest circulation any
newspaper ever had in America. The
poster heads used on the front page of
the Journal and other Hearst newspa-
pers over sensational news stories.
real or invented, have undoubtedly
helped make sales, but it is Brisbanes
editorials that have brought thousands
of readers to the paper.
All the editors before Brisbane en-.
tered the field had written wholly
for the highly educated portion of the
communicative lawyers, the doctors
the clergymen, and men of affairs.
Brisbane, realizing that the bulk of ev.
cry population is composed of men
and women who have received only
common school education. concluded
that he would write for this larger
class. He chose for his subjects ev-
eryday topics in which they could not
fail to be interested. He discussed
temperance, the rearing of children,
the use of tobacco, qualities of char
acter that make for success, the need
of clean men in politics. generosity to
the poor, etc. He wrote of philosophy
and religion in simple language. avoid
ing the use of technical words. and
making things plain by the employ
ment of simple illustrations.
The new editorials soon attracted
the attention of the people for whom
they were designed and they began to
read them. The shop girls. the young
men who work in the factories, truck
drivers, porters in stores men who
conduct small business enterprises

thing that made them think and
aroused their ambition. That is the
chief reason why the Hearst newspa-
pers have today such large circula-
tons.
Now the man who was smart enough
to discover this fertile field. that only
awaited the coming of the plowman
to yield a rich harvest deserves the
financial reward that has since come
to him.
Brisbane's editorials are sometimes
the veriest kind of trash. and contain
ideas and suggestions that if carried
out would do an infinite amount of
harm to society. At other times they
are strong in their uplifting power.
they appeal to the best there is in men
and women, they kindle ambitions and
awaken desires for knowledge.

Guthrie, Okla, June 2.-Reader, did
you ever see a notice like the above
posted on the door of any busted
bank? No, you never did until this
one. This is an, exact photograph of
the notice which the Oklahoma state
bank commissioner, in pursuance of
the laws of Oklahoma posted on the
door of the international Bank of Coal
gate. Okla. BY the end of the second
day the depositors had all proved their
claims and received their money ex-
cept few who lived from six to four
teen miles from own, and whose
checks were made out and left in the
hands of another bank to be delivered
when it was convenient for the owners
to call for them.
The statement made by the bank
commissioner to the state banking
board was as follows: 1.-The Interna-
tional Bank of Coalgate was closed be-
cause its active managing officers had
violated the state law by borrowing
the following sums, principal and inter-
est; The president, $7,O67; the cash
Ter. s4,614."
The bank commissioners assembled
the board of directors, and demanded
that this borrowed money be replaced,
which, after a reasonable time given,
they failed to do. Had this money been
replaced these two officers would have
been removed and the board of direc-
tors might have elected new officers,
and the bank continued in operation.
