LET Us HAVE pNANE.

1t is something deplorablc that our
county papers cannot become at peace
and form a compact To keep the peace.
For many years one continual row
has gone on, to the injury of themsel-
YES and to the entire county, keeping
alive the feeling of bitterness and
strife, not only between themselves.
but with the people, arraying one
class or faction against the other and
sometimes one section of the county
against the other, doing great harm
to the progress of the county. At
times these attacks have even become
personal, which is decidedly wrong.
We have travelled over much of the
world and we can frankly say this
is the most disagreed, le county for
newspaper work we ever saw.
In the first iSsLe of the Elayti Herald
we asked for peace and to be spared
newspaper controversy. We even
"setlle all personal matters out OF
print.' We have worked for peace
and harmony and have repeatedly
stated our wishes along that line.
Now, why can't all the papers in
the county get together on that. Ger
tainly we can speak of public matters
in. IA public spirited, kind and cour-
teous way, giving every one the right
to his opinion and the right to express
it. Let us forget malice, envy and ha
tired and be friends-it will he so much
nicer and pleasant, and then We can
accomplish so much more good.

Once more we will call the atten-
ton of the city council to the neccs-
sity of passing an ordinance that will
do away with street fakirs and hawk
crs. These gentlemen are not needed
in any town, and so many people are
easy to part with their money that
they should be protected by law from
the opportunity to be "tleeced." The
way to do this is simple enough-just
pass an ordinance, placing the license
so high that they will not pay it. Who
will be first to introduce such an or
dinanCc?
