1t is a very pretty time for the city
authorities to place a ban on Christ
mas fireworks. In most parts Of the
United States fireworks are not used
except on the 4th of July, on which day
they are supposed to be appropriate.
Fireworks are not appropriate at
Christmas, and it seems odd that they
should be used. Besides, they occas-
ion great danger to property, and this
Christmas, if it is dry, the trees in the
public square will be in great danger,
as the ground is heavily sodded with
grass, which is now dry, and will be
easily ipnited. The safer plan, how
ever, is to prohibit fireworks within
the fire limits of the city.

Lately it has become custom to
paste and tack advertising matter on
the city hall building. We suppose
there is an ordinance against this, and
if there is, it should be enforced, more
in particular where nails and tacks
are driven into the plastered wall. 1t
is folly to kick at the marshal about
these matters, because the marshal
has nothing, whatever to do with the
new city hall. His duties are down at
the old building, only, where the
city's business is supposed to be tran
sacted, and where the city hall legally
exists. There is no ordinance to the
contrary. But even if there were. the
city marshal has nothing, whatever,
to do with the new building, and he is
not even permitted to carry the keys
to the building. When the new city
hall came into use, a special Ordin-
ance was passed, making one of the
board of aldermen city hall custo-
diam" taking the matter entirely out
of the marshaPS hands. This ar
rangement has proven very unsatis-
factory and very undesirable. The city
marshal is under a good and sufficient
bond. for all his acts, as marshal and
as collector for moneys due the city,
and such bond ought certainly entitle
him to handle all such revenues. And
while we are talking, it might he we'll
to mention that not only the revenues
derived from the new city hall are
handled without bond, but for some
time the town has been without street
commissioner, and is in a fair way to
lose much OF its street tax. The mar
shall is instructed to collect this tax,
but as he is not street commissioner,
he has no means of bringing legal
action to collect such tax. The deeper
we delve into city affairs the more we
learn. and unless some changes are
made the Herald fears someting en-
barassing may happen. 1t is our de-
sire to- aid the city government in every
way possible, and to this end we be
leve general overhauling and re-
hearsal would do good The old or
dinances should be thrown away and
new, up-to-date ordinances published.
The city now receives S., 10000 a
year saloon license, with the pros
pect of s. 10000, besides other reven-
ues, and it certainly ought to put itself
in iirstclass shape.

If the business men Of Hayti knew
a thing or two about the view taken of
city affairs by the country people,
some things might be different, and in
many instances, if the country people
had their way, the town would be much
more progressive. Last week we had
occasion to remark that hitch posts
should be placed around the square to
protect the fence. There is not a
farmer in PemiScOt county who would
not use this precaution to protect his
property. Strange to say, not a city
official, business man nor a citizen
of Hayti has paid attention to our re-
marks, while several of our farmer
friends have done so, some of them
even Offering to haul the posts, place
them on the square and donate them
to the town, provided the town will
put them in place. One of our farmer
friends who offered to do this was
Geo. b. Webb. Now, city people,
what are you going to do? J-u STA
I-l-I-t-I-S-lll-o-I-c y d-lI-d-u-i-i'-
tile more s-i-u-m- b-e-r Well, well.
If that is the way of it, the Herald is
going to set day for our farmer
friends to bring these posts in, also
their hired hands and their post hole
augers, and the farmers will proceed
to put down their own hitch posts
1t would be much nicer, however, il
each business house would put in the
posts opposite their own premises ant
the city should fill in the vacancies.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1910-11-24

There is some mighty good business
property around the public square in
Hayti that should be improved. In
some instances the owners of this
property are more than able to i'm
prove their holdings, but some few
say they are not In either case a
great hardship is worked upon the town
and it is held back. The man who is
able but will not improve this valua-
BILE property should not own it, and
the man who owns it and is not able
to improve it has no business with it.
The best way to prevent such owner
ship is by taxation. Tax this proper
ty at what it is worth and these idle
holder will change their tune. Many
towns are killed by just such people,
and in the end they lose. A glance at
the idle property around the public
square will convince any one that the
growth of Hayti is being seriously re-
tarded by such holdings, The only

The death rate in the death regis
tration cities and States of the United
States dropped TO fifteen per thous-
and OF Professionally estimated popu-
lation last year, according to the
forthcoming Census Bureaus bulletin
on mortality statistics for 1909.
In 1908 the death rate in the Cen
sus Bureaus registration area was
1874 per thousand. and in the bu-
reau's annual report for that year.
issued last spring, il was stated that
it is evident an era of low mortality
has begun. The death rate for 190;
is. the bulletin states, lower than that
for any previous year OF registration,
and probably is THE lowest that ever
occurred in the history of the United
States.
1t Is stated that the mortality was
distributed with more than ordinary
uniformity throughout the year 1908
and no epidemics of other than p
very local extent were found to have
occurred.
The total number of deaths return

The campaign against hookworm

received at the State Health Depart
ment from the county indicate that
great interest is being taken in The
work by the physicians and by the peo-
pie, and that SoutEu m ptcn county will
soon rid itself of the infection.
When the survey OF Southampton
was begun by the officers of the State
Health Department. the county was
found to be very seriously infected
The disease had evidently existed in
the county for years and a large pro-
portion OF the people were sufferine
from the mild or severe forms of the
disease.
vigorous campaign was at once
undertaken and field inspectors were
sent 10 the county. The work OF these
inspectors was enthusias stically re-
ceived by. the citizens OF the county
who aided in every possible way in
the work, and the last report shows
that more than one thousand persons
who were found suffering from the
disease nave already been treated.

distant.
The most encouraging feature OF the
work In southampton, said the State
Health Commissioner, in discussing the
matter today, lis the readiness with
which the people have taken preven-
tive measures. Our inspectors have
told them that while they may be tenn
porarily cured of the disease, they are
never safe until soil pollution is
stopped. Accordingly, hundreds of
families have made new sanitary ar
rangements and have put an end 10
conditions which have made the eradi-
cation of hookWorm impossible. They
have taken the only possible way OF
Kidding themselves OF this trouble and
