The cigar industry in Tampa, Key
West, and to a large degree in Rich

employs a large number Of children.
In Tampa alone the number Of chill

the lowering Of the wage scale in

In December, 1886, most Of the
trades union organizations in the
United States were represented at q
convention held at Columbus, Ohio,
when a national organization known
as the American Federation Of Labor

States. Today it has a membership Of

BARRIERS

A proposition to establish home,
similar to the union printers home,
will be brought before the convention
OF Journeymen BARRIERS International
Union, which meets in Milwaukee on
Oct. 5. This international was formed
IN 1887, in Buffalo, N. Y, at a meeting
that was attended by five men resre-
senting five local unions of BARRIERS.
The membership when formed was
about $50, and the membership, in
good standing at the present time is
about $4,000. The last convention was
held five years ago. Economy is the
reason given for infrequent conven-
tons.

THE WATER SYSTEM.

Again the root growth in the intake
pipes at the source of supply of the
gravity water system has been cleaned
out. Since last June the city has
Teen supplied with water from the
pumping station at an enormous ex-
pense-an expense. according to state
ments made by Water Commissioner
Watts that exceeds the income receiv-
ed by the city from water rents. Con-
sequently the city is running behind
instead of paying expenses and plllng
up sinking fund in the water depart
ment as was fondly hoped when the
gravity system was established. That
extreme measures and prompt action
must be taken to place the water sys-
tenn on paying basis. is apparent.
Water Superintendent Gholson is OF
the opinion that the root growth In
the pipes will have to be removed
again by June at the latest This
means that the tbrous obstruction has
assumed proportions of perpetual an
noyance. in other words has grown to
be factor little short of practical
destruction to the water works system.
10 abate the nuisance several plans
have been advanced. One is to &C.
meut the loose joints of the intake
pipes; another is the destruction of the
willow and locust trees, the roots OF
which is the cause of all the trouble.
The first proposition is impracticable in
the face of the fact that by plugging
the pipe joints the feed arteries of the
pipe system are closed forever and the
flow of water would therefore be lin
tied in quantity to the amount thai
would naturally flow in at the end OF
the pipe. The porous wing system

HApLEY ON NEWSPAPERS

President A. 7. Hadley of Yale has
written a very interesting article in
recent issue of the Youths Companion
on the subject of reading newspapers.
He s'eys, quoting his article in part:
among the many reforms which are
needed in American politics, reform
in the spirit IN which we read our
newspapers is one of the most i'm
portaut.
Our native books are full of instances
of laws. which are evaded or nullified
because they have not the public SEN
timent of the people behind them.
The newspapers are the chief agents
in forming public opinion. This used
to be done by the courts of law and by
political ASSEM- blies, but the modern
newspaper has supplanted both as
forum of public discussion and as q
means of public education. A hundred
years ago intelligent men used to learn
about the workings of the law either
by serving on juries or by reading the
decisions of the judges; but today the
jury is managed so badly that in most
states no intelligent man will serve
on jury if he can help it. And if be
does have to serve on jury he does
not gain an understanding OF the law
as much as a contempt for the way in
which criminal lawyers are allowed
to misapply it. And most of the de-
cisions of present day judges on the
questions like railroad management,
or the equities of taxation. are so much
occupied with precedents and 80 little
actual facts that they have very slight
effect on public opinion. n-.
Nor do the people get the instruction
from political speech which they did
two or three generations ago. Pol
itical speakers may address en-
thusiastic meetings, but their address
es are not appeals to the emotions of
men who have already formed their
views other than deliberate discussions
with view to aid in their formation.
Long tefore the great public speech
es have been made on questions, at
issue the facts have been set before the
people in the news columns of their
papers, and the arguments drawn, from
| them with more or less care in the ed
itorials. so that speech in the senate
or house of representatives serves
rather to register the reason of a de-
cision already formed by the voters
! than as means of influencing any
man or arriving at common under
standing on any measure. The inven
tion of the telegraph and the immense
use of newsgathering agencies havs
made the newspaper press the source
through which the people 60 to gel

A lust CRITICISM.

Senator Hale, when the bill for rails
ing the salaries of the president, vice
president, speaker and supremei court
judges was under discussion, quite pro-
perly commented ON the increase in
expenditures on the battleships which
he said was so great that the interest
on the amonnt expended on one of
them was more than all the increases
of salaries provided for in this bill.
eve SHALL" he said "never reduce the
expenses of the government until we
take in hand not only the question of
salaries, but the enormous expenditure
that we are asked to make for the
military"
Congress this winter will make no
general appropriation for the i'm
provement of rivers and harbors, and
th ere will be delay and waste and loss
and great injury to millions of people
on this account, and yet congress goes
on increasing enormously from year TO
year the appr opriations for the army
and navy and now is considering in
creases of salaries that added to the
recent raise of the pay of the congress
men, will amount to some 81, 500, 900
a year. Large salaries for the officers
named seem reasonable, but if the
country is SO poor or mismanaged that
it can do nothing to carry on contin-
uously this vastly important work of
opening up our waterways and improv-
ing our harbors, 1t should reduce ap-
preparations for the army and navy,
for which there is little if any use and
go slow about raising salaries. --Ex-

which is the practical basis on which
underground drainage is founded for
collecting the water, would become
absolutely worthless and the flow
summarily and efeotually depleted.
The plan to destroy the roots by kill
ing the trees is the really true and
sensible solution of what has grown
to be an expensive problem, and one in
which every property owner in Athena
is vitally interested. 1t is within the
province of the water commission
and the city council to provide for the
purchase and then the destruction of
these trees which are at bottom the
cause that is forcing water consumers
back to their wells, the Generalization
of the water system and the depletion
of the water fund. Mr.. Gallaher's
trees should he purchased at a price
mutually fair to him and the city, II
possible. Otherwise, condemnation
proceedings should be instituted and
by this method the trees acquired
and destroyed. Exigencies of the
citys needs demand that the water
service be improved. The amount of
money in vested is too great and the
use of city water for domestic purpos-
es has become 50 universal that dila-
tory action would be received with
just censuIe. The purchase price OF
the trees should not Ee stumbling
block to their requirement. Admit
ting that the city's finances are at low
ebb. their purchase, in comparison
with the cost of operating the pump
ing plant during periods resulting from
the root growth and not from exces-
sive irrigation, during the dry season
of the year, would be small indeed.

The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1909-10-21

Under late ruling of the postoffice
we are allowed to send a
paper for one year on a credit, but
no longer, so people who have not
paid for their paper, should do so be-
fore their year is out, otherwise your
paper will stop. You cannot blame
us. The laws must be respected and
we cannot violate them. But, really,
we see no necessity for person owing
so small Il sum as one dollar for
twelve months, and for this reason
our terms will hereafter be cash, SO if
you owe for one years subscription
and want the paper for another year,
you must pay up for the old year and
one year in advance, which will be
50. The price of years subscrip-
tion is SO small that any one can pay
it, and it is entirely too much trouble
to US to have to collect such small
amounts.

OUR FIRST YEAR.

With this issue, number 50, we COM
plete our first year.
Up to the time the Hayti Heral was
started, there had been five or six
newspaper failures in Hayti, and the
two predecessors, the Signal in 1897
and the Pemiscot Argus in 1907, pulled
up stakes and left town. So it might
be said that we started up the Herald
in newspaper graveyard" but the
people, protiting by experiences of the
past, have been liberal in their sup
port, and we have Jared better than
we at first anticipated.
But the people must stay with us
another year. The paper is now only
fairly on it's feet, and the second year
will be fully as hard as the first, and
probably harder. But we must stay
with the paper. The town needs the
paper and the people need tive must
have the paper and cannot get along
without it-but in order to have the pa
per it must be supported.
The future of the paper is now up to
the people. During the past year we
have fully demonstrated what we could
do. We have worked hard and lived
hard, and in every instance have done
more than our part.
The paper has been better than our
patronage justified.
We have no complaint against our
subscribers, but our advertising and
job work and the price received for it
should have been better.
With liberal support during our
second year we can do much good for
the town, and we must expect prompt
renewal from every subscriber and an
increased amount of advertising and
job work and better prices from the
business men.
Do not wait and delay. We need
your help now. If Hayti has paper,
you must support it, and the paper
can never be very much better than
your support will make it. Have
pride in your town and your county,
and help US get out a paper that you
will be proud of.
Good words and good wishes do
us no good, unless accompanied by
substantial support. Money is what
we need and must have, if we are to
succeed.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1909-10-21

This is the last issue of the first year
of the Hayti Herald, and we thank
all our friends for the support given
us. Now, nearly all subscriptions ex-
pire with this issue, and renewals are
in order. You should not delay one
moment to renew your subscription,
but should do so at once, otherwise,
our solicitor will call on you. Now,
our solicitor means no harm, but is
paid to visit you and take your sub
scription, and you must not refuse to
renew. Unless good excuse is given
every person not renewing their SUBJ
scription promptly will be marked off
our books.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1909-10-21

When the Hayti Herald was started,
a year ago, many people thought that
a newspaper could not live in Hayti,
and for that reason would not support
it. All such people reckoned without
their host, however, and the paper has
lived and grown prosperous without
the help of such people. There are
just lots of good, wide-awake, pro-
gressive people in Hayti who stand by
home enterprises and are not afraid
to spend little money for the good
Of the town.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1909-10-21

People without experience writing
for public print are often disappoint-
ed on finding their articles not appear
ing as written. 1t does not matter
about your educational qualifications,
and you must not trust too much to a
diploma. The newspaper business
can be learned only by experience,
and many of them unpleasant. 1t is a
good idea to give the editor permis-
sion to make necessary changes, if
you expect your articles to appear in
print. The editor is responsible for
his paper and must fix his own stand
ard.

The man who will not patronize his

The man who will not patronize his
home paper and will not try to help it
along, is not a fit subject to associate
with town people, and will never do
the town any good. 1t is not matter
of like or dislike for the editor, but
for the towns good. The home paper
therefore works for everybody in the
town, even for the old hog who goes
around making wry faces an cussing
the editor.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1909-10-21

Lest you forget it, better hand us
your dollar for another years sub
scription.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1909-10-21

We are confident that no paper in
the county or in Southeast Missouri
has ever been received with the good
will and loyal support that has been
accorded the Hayti Herald. Not only
are nearly all our subscribers paid
but we have been receiving one-year
renewals since September l, from the
very best and foremost people in
Pemiscot county.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1909-10-21

fen up your spine, raise your lower
lip, renew your courage and go after
something with a vim. Look on the
bright side awhile, have confidence,
say this is the best town, in the best
country, and the best people on earth.
You are what you think and feel you
are and the world takes you at your
own estimate.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1909-10-21

Let every one stand by the Hayti
Herald for another year, better than
the year just passed. The paper is an
index to the town and the patronage
it receives, and your self-esteem
should prompt you to stand by your
home enterprises.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1909-10-21

Let us start in this year to work for
greater and better Hayti, and begin
by a strong support to the Hayti Her
aid. The Herald has accomplished
much good for Hayti the past year,
and the better its support the more it
can accomplish.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1909-10-21

All those who owe for one years
subscription and do not pay up by
next week, will fail to receive the pa
per. The postal department has ruled
that paper can only be sent one year
on credit.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1909-10-21

Whenever you hear a man cussing
and belittling Hayti, you can just
mark it down that he is a natural fail
ure and is trying to find some excuse
for it. Better be up and doing. Stiff
