WEI a., WELL.

When an exchange copies an item
of news from another paper and
doesn't give the other paper credit,
that's called "stealing.' So the
Hayti Herald must be guilty, as we
saw last week in that paper notice
of the consolidation of j. T.. Duncan
and S. Fl. McCarty in the practice oi

fore. e.-Caruthersville Republican.
The above law firm is among
our advertisers, and we received
due notice from them in refer.

the article as published in the
Herald reflects any diScredit
either upon the Republican or
upon MeSSrS. Duncan & Nc
Carty, then we will apologize. 1t
was our intention to do these
gentlemen a favor and we did
not know that the Republican
had censorship over our columns
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1911-04-20

If property owners would not
violate the law by renting pro.
pcrty to prostitutes, there would
not be any in town. People who
rent to such cattle and permit
them to remain after the fact is
discovered, should be punished
according to law. A few cases
of this kind would be a warning
to others and it would soon be so
that this undesirable element
could find no place TO roost, and
the city authorities could get a
rest from abuse.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1911-04-20

In burning the grass on the
public square not long ago, the
growth was set back about one
season, as the long runners on
top of the grOund had not set d
firm root in the ground, and the
heat killed the root joints. The
long runners, many of them 10
to H. feet long. had completely
matted over the ground, and if
tn" fire had been kept off, a com
plete sod would have been form
ed this spring and there would
have been no weeds. AS it is now,
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1911-04-20

We are fully assured that the
newly elected city council will
stand by the hog law, and will be
favorable to other laws of this
kind. This is as we thought,
and will be a source of great
satisfaction to the people. We
arc trying to build IA city, not a
stock and cattle ranch. Nice
streets, parks, walks, lawns,
Shrubbcry and trees are for peo.
pie, not for hogs, cows and
horses, and we can never have a
clean, attractive city until we do

see new dog law passed one
that will stand d-and then we
want to see it inforced to the let

spect the law is to inforce it. A
right good, vigorous dose of law
will make believers of even the
worst men. Ten times moro
trouble is caused by not inforc-
ing any law than by inforcing it,
as reimbursement is a license
to violate it..
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1911-04-20

Well, boys, the election is over,
and it is time to quit grumbling.
Let us all lend our assistance to
the newly elected officers and
help them all we can. No officer
can accomplish much unless he
has the support and encourage
ment of the people and feeling
that the people are with them it
is only natural that they will use
greater efforts. 1t is to the best
interests of Hnyti for the people
to pull together.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1911-04-20

In times past some city laws
have not been properly and firm
ly inforced, on account of the
officials fear of mourning the i'll
will of a certain element of peo-
pie, and this more in particular
in connection with the dog law,
some people even threatening
the life of the officials trying to
inforce that law. 1t is a very
undesirable citizen who will not
abide by the laws of the city in
which he lives, and the sooner a
city can get rid of that class the
| lbetter. This year we want to

In other words, to quote a doctor

and having supped wisely and well.
instructions should be given that the
