Painful to Her and to the Dinner
Guests as Well.

Guests as Well.
There was company ut dinner, and
the platter In front Of the host con-
tanned fine roast Of beef. He drew
the sharp carving knife across the
ringing steel few times. just because
that is way carvers have. drove the
fork deep into the steaming beef, de-
scrlbed scalping knife flourish In the
air and gracefully began operations.
Two nice and tender slices clear
across the roast had resulted, and he
was turning off the third when the
blade struck skcwer. made sliding
upward motion and came out at the
top, with n result that the proposed
slice looked like frost bitten leaf
curled up by the sun.
He could not say intense things in
the presence Of his guests. but he
froze his wife with look, made
grim joke about the indigestibility of
roasted hard wood. inquired whether
the butcher also ran woodward. dug
the skewer out viciously and ordered
little Willie, who had made several at
tempts to tell something. to keep still
or leave the table. His evident temper
led to an embarrassing silence, and
Willie saw an opening that he could
not resist.
"Cook has burned her nose orful,"
he announced
"Too bad" said the father, whose
good humor was coming back. How
did she do itY'

The Morehouse Hustler is one of
those one-idead papers. Now, it is
perfectly satisfactory to us for the
Hustler to have it's own opinion, and
it would not be worth a continental if
it did not have, but one thing GER
tain about it, the Hustler will have to
accord others the same rights it asks
for itself The world could hardly
stand if everybody were of the same
opinion, had the same mind and feel
ing and thought and acted alike. In
that state, we would retrograde and
decline more than to any dark age OF
the past. There have been times in
the worlds history when people were
prosecuted and even burned at the
stake because they did not believe or
do a certain way. This same spirit is
in the world today. But through all
ages there have lived a sufficient mum
ber of broad, liberal-minded people TO
preserve the affairs of men in tact, to
forget oppression, tyrany, wars and
bloodshed and to strive on for the ad-
vancement and elevation of the human
race, which can only be accomplished
and preserved by an equilibrium OF
things that foster and protect free
thought and free speech and to retard
selfshneSs, jealousy, envy, and
spite. OF course we have this class
with us and they will continue with us
as long as time. We cannot remedy
this defect with which nature has en-
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1909-11-25

The Hayti Herald is in trouble
for having had the courage to
speak its sentiments on the Ken
nett local option election. Sever
al subscribers have quit the pa
per. The Herald is better off with
out them. Tell 'em to go to l.;
that you are running the Herald.
--Portageville Critic.
Now to set matters right, the Herald
is not now and never has been in
trouble or the least bit bothered on ac-
count of losing subscriber for hav-
ing expressed an opinion or told the
truth. That is a part of newspaper
experience. So far as we are aware,
however, up to present, since the pa
per has been running, and we have
been threatened for expressing an
opinion on many things, we have lost
but ONE subscriber on that account.
That was the one mentioned last week,
who lives over at Caruthersville, and
it looks plausable that he was over eX-
cited because he realizes that if Ca
retains her saloons, which
she certainly will, there is strong
probability that the county will go
wet at the next election, and that would
hurt his "bisness." See the point.
The advertiser we lost was one of the
'wettest" men in Hayti, SO two eX-
tremes met.

NOTES

Cape Democrat: The Frisco viii
expend 5000 in advertising the ad-
vantages of Missouri lands. The
money will not all be expended on the
hilly Ozark country either. The Fris-
co is quite as vitally interested in the
development of Southeast Missouri
as in any other region it touches, and
there is an other reason which the i'm
migration agents of the road cannot
ingore: They will find it twice as easy
to attract settlers to the rich lands of
Southeast Missouri as to the Ozarks.

The person who refuses to subscribe

1t is not the custom with the Hayti
Herald, and never has been, to furn-
ish the paper free to advertisers, any
more than it is for the merchant to
give you a dollars worth of some
thing free when you buy a bill of
goods. Our advertising rates are one
thing, and subscription is anoth er,
except in certain kinds of profession
al cards, payable in advanc-i fors six
months. Every citizen should pay
for his home paper and show by that
act that he considers it worth S1.O0 10
the town, it not to himself.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1909-11-25

What would you give to have a pa
perrin Hayti? How many times, in the
death of the old Hayti Signal in 1897
and the mine lives" of the Argus from
1898 to 1907, has Hayti felt the need of
a paper? In all the bad experiences
in the past with the newspapers there
has been cause-there have arisen
factions and feelings that never should
have been. Probably both sides have
been to blame-in some instances. We
sometimes see outcroppings of that
same old spirit now. But the eXper-
fences of the past should teach our
people the wiser plan. Generally, we
cannot hurt others without hurting
ourselves, and it is very certain that
we cannot hurt any business enterprise
in the town without hurting the whole
town. There is no such thing as ''get-
ting even.' Spite and envy cannot
he satisfied. Every effort in that di-
rection sinks the maker of it just that
much lower. We cannot all agree on
everything. In business and in pub
lie matters personal feeling should
never be manifest. 1t is a fact, how
ever, that there are peoplein every town
who would tear down the town and
every institution in it in vain effort
to crafty some little personal whim
and thereby do themselves and their
neighbors untold injury. This is not
the spirit of the Herald. The Herald
is here to work for the general good of
the town, regardless of who is bene-
fitted. We have no lax to grind, no
friends to pet and no enemies to pun
ish, but can deal out equal fairness
and Justice to all The Herald is not,
never has been and never will be a
TOOL. The Herald is it's own boss,
and what it thinks to be right and for
the best interest of Hayti it will do,
and our large and growing subscrip-
tion list shows that the masses OF the
people are with US, and that the Her.
ale is too strongly established to go
the way of It's predecessor. We
need and deserve, however, better
general patronage: we need more and
better paying advertising, more JOB
printing, ETC., in fact, our patronage
should be sufficient to enable us to
hire a printer and put in part of our
time ON the outside. Subscriptions
alone will not pay for producing the
Of
income from other sources, to hold
the paper up we have been compelled
to work night and day to produce it,
without any opportunity to get out to
look after news or business matters.
This explains why the paper neglects
so many things, but we can do no bet
ter than our support enables us to do.
1t would pay every merchant in Hayti
to make u yearly contract for liber-
al amount of space and go to work now
to advertising and boosting the town;
show the outside world what the town
is, have hundreds of the papers sent
to your friends and acquaintance,
and try to encourage and assist the
paper to be better. There is a
turning point just ahead for Hayti, if
we will take hold now and be ready
, for it when it comes. You will then
need the Herald and it will he here, to
be sure, but after a long period on
half rations we may be somewhat like
the old farm horse taken off the cane
in the spring to make crop.
