As yet there are "A great number of
people in Iiayti who ought to be Her
aid subscribers, who have been put
ting it off to subscribe. That would
he all right if you do not want Hayti
to have "a paper and if you want the
town to continue to go down. Do not
think that the paper cannot live with
out you and that by withholding your
subscription the paper will perish. for
such is not the case. The Hayti Her
aid will be here when YOU are gone
and will publish your obituary and
that of many OF your friends, whether
you are subscribers or not, but it is
always distasteful to US to publish
obituaries for people who are not sub
scriberS. The reason we want you to
subscribe is to make the paper strong
er in home patronage and stronger
for Hayti. The more Hayti patron
age we get the more we can do for
Hayti. There are many people in
Hayti, who depend on Hayti for every
thing they have, who absolutely re-
fuse to subscribe for their home pa
per, yet they take the other county pa
perS. 1t is this class of people who
are in the way of advancement and
progress. Home should be first, and
it is blamed poor citizen who will
not stand by and support home insti-
tutiOns.

In a few more weeks the Hayti Her
aid will be twelve months old, and our
books still show few subscribers
who ordered the paper but up to the
present have not paid Our terms are
cash, and only IA few instances we eX-
tended credit, and as now is the seas
on of the year when every one ought
to have little money, we shall look
for our friends to come in and pay up.
We also notice that few three, six
and nine-month subscriptions have
not been renewed, and our year being
so close to and end we may not stop
some of these, unlsess ordered to do
so, until the year is out. SO if for
any reason YOU do not want the paper
and do not expect to pay for it, please
notify us promptly to stop it. After
our first year is out, October 2S, we
will adopt IA strictly cash basis for
every one. \ dollar is small matter
to each individual, and sum any
one can pay, and we believe it will be
much letter and more satisfactory to
every one to adopt this rule. This
will put us ION our feet" to start in
the new year and enable us to give
you better paper.

CUT THE WEEDS.

Among all the papers of Southeast
Missouri we notice a strong effort to
! get the city and health officers to clean
up the towns, and the Hayti Herald,
although making "a longer and strong
er effort than any of them, has met
with little or no encouragement.
TO show the people of Hayti what
other towns are doing, we take the
following from the Portageville Critic:
''The mayor and board of al
dermen, in session Tuesday, agreed
| that at the adjourned meeting set fer
| Monday, Aug. ., there would be pass
ed an ordinance forcing property
owners to cut al weeds in the streets
and alleys adjoining their property
to the middle of the street or alley
and all weeds on their lots. Don't
wait until you are forced to do it.
DO 1t now. 1t is not necessary, how
ever, for the board to enforce this
rule, as it is clearly within the power
of DR.. COrliS. city health officer, to
have this work done The removal
Oi weeds from the streets and your
property will increase the appearance
for the better and make the city more
healthfui.'
Now, the above is from our sister
city, and applies very forcibly to
Hayti. The board of health in Hay
/ ii consists of Mayor John r. Buckley,
DR.. j. q. Cridcr and DR.. Y. j. Traut-
mann, who have the authority to or
der this work done, but with the pro-
vision by the board of aldermen as
above, the marshal could attend to
the matter, without bother or annoy
, ance to the board of health.

With the hog law now being enacted
by the city council in effect and en-
forced, we can have IA nicer and clean
er town, and the council deserves
great praise for taking this step. OF
course there will be whole lot of
cussing, some hard feeling and some
lawing when the law is first enforced
this is the experience in every town
when stock laws are first enforced
but citizens who desire to pasture the
town soon learn that the city is going
to have its way, and get ashamed of
themselves. The stock law is the first
real step toward city, and we hope
to see the good work 90 on.

SENATORS BY THE PEOPLE

Lit is evident that our forefathers
acted with great foresight and saga
city when they insured State equality
in the Senate, but it is equally plain
that the opponents OF the election OF
United States Senators by the people
are at fault when they insist that the
adoption OF the new method would
peryert the Constitution. Popular
election of Senators may not be wise.
but it certainly would not be at yari-
ance with the vital principle on which
the Senate rests. There would still
be only two Senators from each State.
The foundation of our national struc-
tnre would not be disturbed. at
present, the people elect the legisla-
lures and the latter choose the Sena-
tors. AS proposed, the power now
delegated to the members of the legis-
latures would be exercised directly
by the voters. If, in the very begin
nlng OF our government, there had
been felt the confidence in the people
which now exists, there is little rea-
son to doubt that popular election of
Senators would have been authorized
by the Constitution. At that nme.
however, it was felt that suffrage was
largely an experiment. The right of
the ballot was restricted, even in the
matter of voting for Representatives,
and our forefathers seemed to feel
that perhaps it would be we'll to re-
move at least one branch of the ma.
tlonal legislature to an appreciable
degree from the people. In their
view, this was the wise and conserya-
tive action. '"The Senate" accord
ing to a remark attributed to George
Washington, lis the saucer in which
the hot tea of the House is poured to
cool. 1t was the same thought
which provided for the choice of a
President by members of an electoral
college. We know that today the
people actually, although indirectly,
vote for their candidate for President.
The electoral college is now shadow
and not substance. Our forefathers.
however, intended 1t to be serious
affair. They constructed it as safe
guard against popular clamor, en-
thusiasm, passion aud prejudice.
They provided for the election Of
United States Senators by legisla-
lures for identically the same reason.

WHAT THE SCIENTISTS FIND.

1t was the boast Of P. D. Armour
that in the Chicago stockyards the
packers used up every bit of the pig
except its squeal. There wasn't
hair on its hide or a piece of that pig
as big as a dime that wasn't turned
by the packers into coin of the rea Inn i,
And now an eminent German scien-
list has been doing some figuring on
the live body of man, that shows he
has been just as busy analysing him
as the packers used to be when they
were finding new uses for the pig.
The human body from the chemists
standpoint is wonderful combina-
ton OF elements. 1t contains phos-
phorus, carbon. hydrogen, oxygen,
nitrogen, iron calcium and lot of
other things.
After a lot of research the aforsaid
German is convinced that a man of
average weight, 100 pounds, can be
duplicated, chemically speaking, out
OF the constituent part of 100 dozen
hens eggsl
The same authority declares that
with proper chemical treatment 1867
pound man would yield as cubic
meters OF illuminating gas. The pro-
cess might be uncomfortable for the
man, but it probably would prove the
scientist right. Carbon, hydrogen
and oxygen are the chief constitut-S
ents OF Illuminating gas, and they
are found in abundance in the human
body.
By the same way of figuring. hs
hnds that there is enough pure hydro
gen in the $50 pounds Of human flesh
and bone to fill the bag Of q full-sized
dirigible balloon.
Everybody knows that there is5iron
in the body, that it is found mostly
IN the blood, and that it's good
thing to be there. The German Of
figures and science goes us all one
better. He finds that the iron, lie
extracted from his experimental man
would make seven tenpenny nails.
Ii, after having survived the gas
making and smelling processes re-
TERED to, there was any OF the man
left, the German would not have any
waste material on his hands. On the
contrary, he would reduce the carbon
into "a gross of drawing Dragons, and
the phosphorus, which with carbon
Is In the bones, would make several
thousand matches.
An argument for prohibition ia
found in the fact, also proved by the
German, that the body has A quarts
OF water as part of its makeup.
It's pretty ruthless to figure out
how easily the body would be destroy
ed after hen had laid eggs steadily
for over three years to make the
materials for that body. We can
learn things about ourselves we never
knew before.
But, as in the case Of the pig OF
commerce, the German scientist has
MT yet told US what to do with our
Inc scientists do not find any soul
-butanyhow it is hardly reasonable
to suppose that the water, oil, gas
and bone do the thinking. There
must be something else which the.
scientists do not find.

Central South Dakota was the Great
American home of the buffalo before
white men came and took possession
of it. Here the wild cattle pastured
winter and summer in countless num-
bers. Nowhere else upon tile CONT
nent were they SO plentiful. All Of
the early writer's of western life testi-
fy to the yastness of the heads which
subsisted upon the rich native grasses
IN the vicinity of Pierre. CatIin,
Audubon and Fremont all testify to
that fact. Fremont and Catlin shot
buffalo on the very site of the state
capitol. The buffalo were drawn to
the region by the richness of the
grasses and the ease with which it
was obtained in the winters when the
eastern prairies were buried deep in
drifts. After the buffalo were des-
troyed, the cowboy came aither with
his herds and the great Sioux range
was recognized as the greatest cattle
range in America. Pierre was the
heart of the range. The homesteader
has driven out the cowboy, but still
