CAPITAL SCENE Of
MOVING PICTURES
SHOWN THE NATION
All Companies Send Pho
tographers Here to Snap
Famous Objects.

Because every citizen of the United
States feels that he is a part owner
of the national public buildings and
grounds, Washington is proving an
especially attractive city for the NOV
ing picture companies. Three of the
largest concerns in the country have
representatives here vying with each
other for points of vantage. They are
working secretly, trying not only TO
keep secret their plans, but to cover
the trail they have taken. Not until
the pictures are on the long reels
ready to be shown in the thousands
OF cities throughout the United States
Will the representatives of the con-
Germs let 1t be known what attrac-
tions they have landed"
Through Elliott Woods, superin-
tendept of the Capitol building and
grounds, it has been learned, that per-
mission was granted one company to
take pictures of the Capitol from the
roof of the House office building.
Thomas Persons. of Chicago, who
obtained that right, refused to discuss
the matter and seemed much put out
that his scheme should be disclosed
Mr.. Persons has obtained from the
Department of Commerce and Labor
permission to take views OF the work
being done in that department
1t is known that Admiral Togo was
chased from place to place in his
four-day Washington race and that
views for moving pictures of his Wis
it were taken at every opportunity.
A request has been made Of Elliott
Woods for permission to take the
House of Representatives and the
Senate while in session. but Mr.. Woods
will not grant this privilege unless
consent Is obtained from Speaker
Clark and Vice President Sherman.

an enViable record OF patronage for an
outdoor amusement enterprise
So successful did ''red-head night
prove last Thursday. when every young

was admitted free to the various at
fractions, that the manager has ar
ranged to entertain the blondes in
like manner next Tuesday evening.

The Argus intimates that it was
born in the most remote parts. "
Possibly it is a woods colt, or
maybe it was born in the marsh
and sired by watermoccaSsin.
The fact is, however, the young
Ster was first introduced to the
public by the Argus. The Ar
gus may not be its daddy, but it
is certainly it's granny, and has

*EDITOR'S NOTE: The above
is handed us by one of our very
best and most progressive citi,
zenS, and we are heartily in ac-
cord with it. Every word is
absolutely true and to the point,
but the ways and means of pro-
curing the electric lights was
not set out, and right here is
room for much thinking. We
have suggested that the city vote
bonds for that purpose, but one
of the high officials of the city
says he is opposed to this plan
and that he will not favor taxa
tion for that purpose. Now,
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1911-08-31
WAKE UP.

IL Is ulle uuuS Ol every ClUlIen
of Hayti to do what he can to up
lift the town, and this duty is
morally made incumbent upon
him by reason of the fact that he
enjoys the priviledges and the
benefits the town affords. Whe-
ther Hayti grows into a modern
fourth-class city depends entire
ly upon the efforts put forth by
it's citizens.
A mans business will grow
and expand and bring him sue
cess if he gets behind that busi-
ness and pushes it. SO it is with
a tOwn-the citizens must get be-
hind the town and push. Moth
ing comes to him who waits-he
must go after it.
Hayti is full of enterpriSing
and Industrious business men
who know from long experience
the ms and outs of the vocationS
they follow; men who any town
might well be proud of; men
who perhaps have their tits and
differences like all other men of
all other communities, but after
all fill their places and make the
world better for having lived.
However, it is often the case that
private business cares and WOr-
rieS cause us to forget the inter
eSts of the town in which we live.
1t is too often that they leave the
upbuilding of the town in which
they live to the officers thereof
This has often proven a mistake.
To make town grow not only
the officers should be vigilant
and active, but all citizens of
every class should encourage and
lose no opportunity to exercise
their own energies for the ad-
vancement of the interests of the
town.
AS a rule the city officers are
enterprising when the citizens
manifest spirit of public con-
Germ. Public thrift or activity is
contagious, and when the citi-
zens of a town manifest a spirit
to do things for the betterment
of the town, the officers of the
town are generally affected like
wise and readily respond to the
public will.
Hayti has bright prospects. A
glance ahead, a glance backward
and Il little reasoning makes the
truth of this statement quite evi-
dent. Hayti's location for town
is ideal; it has ample railroad fa.
cilities and is situated in the
logical center of a new county
being rapidly converted into fer
tile farms and increasing in
population. Hayti's gold n
moment is at hand. Now is the
accepted time to get behind and
push. and strike while the iron
is hot. We can have an up-to.
date modern city to live in by
helping each other push.
Let us wake up and get busy,
and give some of our time arc
thought to the town. Let us
have, as soon as possible, al
electric light system, concrete
walks and streets paved arount
the square.
Imagine for a moment our
selves driving over paved streets
, and walking on concrete pave
, ments and our way lighted by

are non-readers, at best casual
readers, and for these reasons
not as well informed as those
living in closer proximity with
the doings of our daily affairs.
This reference by one of our
Charlottesville contemporaries
to the methods pursued by the
schemers in securing their So
called petition for auditing the
books is seized upon with great
Igusto by the Argus, and it tries
to make it appear that deroga-
tory reflection has wantonly been
cast upon the signerS. 1t has
repeated over and over in big
letters and sneering language,
the denizenS of the most re-
mote parts" It's purpose in so
doing is too transparent to fool
any one except the most care
less and non-thinking. 1t is
simply to create prejudice
against those who would enlight-
en- the public upon the merits of
the proposition.
We all know that many of our
best citizens are not posted on
our county affairs to the extent
they should be. Many of our
best farmers and others are too
busy with their daily affairs to
peruse the current of literature.
Many only visit the county seat
at long intervals. 1t is no re-
Election upon the inherent hon
esty and intelligence of these
people to say that they are not
as we'll posted upon county af-
fairs as are those more favorab-
ly situated. They are good
meaning people and are ever
ready to lend their support to
that which they believe to be
right. Still, not being sufficient
ly posted, they are more easily
led into error by schemers and
designing politicians. That is
why the Argus petitions were
first heard from in the most re-
mote parts" The Argus admits
there is opposition to the petit
tiOnS in Caruthersville, and is
careful not to mention Hayti, and
was also careful not to permit
the petition to be circulated
in Hayti and not in Carutherville
until the most remote parts
had been thoroughly worked.
But the Argus has never at
tempted to explain why the good,
intelligent people of these twoim-
pOrtant towns are opposed to the
petitions!
Up to few weeks ago the peo-
pie had heard but one side of the
auditing proposition, and that is
evidently all the Argus wanted
them to hear. The petition had
practically been completed be-
fore one word of publicity from
the other side was uttered. Fol
our part, we said not a WORD
against auditing until after the
petition had been presented tC

Doctors and Hospitals.

We read in the Chicago papers that a
recent investigation of the Cook County
Hospital there has revealed quite dis
graceful state of affairs. The officials
who are responsible. it is hoped. will be
called to account for the laxity-if not
worse-that has been disclosed. In
commenting upon the situation. the Chi
cago Tribune makes a good point which
deserves the attention of physicians in
all large cities. 1t says:
''But there is one class in the commu-
nifty that is more directly responsible
That is the medical profession The
conditions OF the public institutions deal
ing with disease or with the public health
ought to be their collective concern
1t is the duty of the physician
body to exercise a more effective sur
veIllance. 1t is its duty to
know and expose wrong conditions and
to bring its collective influence to bear
upon the agencies directly responsible
The professional conscience long ago
should have protested against the county
hospital evils"
The difficulties in the way of such ac-
ton are not small The doctors are sta
toned at the hospitals as specialists
to do medical and surgical work.
They may claim that theoretically they
have no right to interfere with matters
outside their fields We take it. how
ever, that professional pride and their
sense of duty should make them willing
at all times to overstep these bounds in
the interests Of their patients and of their
city Conditions such as existed at the
Chicago hospital ought to be exposed by
the very men who come into closest
touch with the institutions with which
they are connected.
