The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1911-01-12

There will be no children under 5
years of age in the United States in
the year 2020, Babies, accordingly,
will have disappeared from this coun-
try as early as 2Ol5. This is the
mathematical conclusion of Prof.
Walter f. Wilcox of Cornell univer-
sity announced to the American Sta
tistical association at its concluding
session Friday. The only hope of see.
ing babies in the United States in 2020;
according to Prof. Wilcox's calcula.
tion is possible importation from
France. France, he says, will con.
tinue to have babies eighty years after
the United States has quit "There is
proportionately more race suicide in
the United States than in Europe" ,"
said Prof Wilcox.

GOVERNMENT COMPETITION

The postmaster general has an
nounced that after January 1911, the
government will discontinue the print
ing of stamped envelopes and recon-
mends that the same be done by the To-
cal ewspapers in every town where
there is a newspaper and by special
permit for the towns nearest the news
paper where a town has no newspaper
of it's own. No large town will be al
lowed to have monopoly on the print
ing of envelopes, to the Getriment of
smaller newspapers.
A uniform scale of printing will be
prepared by the postotfice department
and insisted upon or the newspaper
will not be sold stamped envelopes
for printing. The scale of printing
will 1e such that a reasonable profit
can be made by the Office printing
them. The department will also make
a ruling about January |, that no first
class mail will be allowed transmits
sion through the mail until it has Il
The above means that the envelope
printing business will take on mag
nifcient boom the first of the year and
which is sure to continue.
The order relating to the printing of
envelopes is a correction for an evil
of long standing and against which
the newspapers throughout the coun-
try have fought for many years, for
the reason that the price charged f'or
the envelopes was far less than the
stock could be purchased by printer,
and the rate charged for the envelopes
was such that profit could not hav,
been made by the government. Gil
lespie, (Ill.) News.

revived and once more bitterness and
strife must begin, if only for short
while.
In this matter, it is the entire coun.
ty against Hayti, because Hayti de-
sired and now has saloons, giving her
fair chance with Charlottesville.
How we'll Hayti has succeeded in this
contest, brief review of the case will
show:
l. A fight was made to prevent
the county court from ordering the
election. The court decided in fa-
vor of Hayti.
2. An effort was made to have
the circuit court enjoin the election.
The circuit judge decided in favor
of Hayti.
3. The contest deposition court
ended in dismal failure, and the
circuit court dismissed the contest
proceedings. Another victory for
Hayti.
4. The supreme court refused to
advance the hearing of the appeal
on the docket, and the appeal was
dismissed. This ended the matter.
Now, after all these defeats, begin
ming last May, an attempt is made to
reopen the case and a mandamus has
been issued directing Judge G. b.
Faris to show cause why the case
should not be re.docketed and heard
in the circuit court.
Well. we'll! we'll!
Just what our enemies expect to ac-
complish, is impossible for us to say,
in view OF their many efforts and de-
feats.
The contest organs are predicting
that Judge Faris will reinstate the
case and hear it, but it seems that a
statement of this kind is just about as
unfair to Judge Faris as were their
criticisms of Judge Riley. Judges
generally decide these matters accord
ing to law, and whatever the decision
of Judge Faris may be in this case.
will be in accordance with the direc.
tiOns of the supreme court, and we
have too much honor for that august
body to attempt tor forecast its decls-
ion or to criticise same after it is
made.
1t might be well to state, however,
that the people of Hayti feel safe, on
ly they would like to be spared further
annoyance and worry, even if it can
but add one more victory to their long
list and fully vindicate them in the
eyes of all the people in Pemiscot
county of the vile calumny, abuse
and mistreatment that has been heap
ed upon them.

THAT LOCAL OPTION CONTEST.

THAT LOCAL OPTION CONTEST.
ALL good citizens would rather
Il see peace than strife. 1t is
to be regretted that peace can
not be permitted to reign in Pemiscot
county.
But such seems to be the case.
1t is customary in this country for
the majority to rule, but of course the
defeated side feels the sting of defeat
they expected to win, but could not
and this feeling soon passes away and
all become friends.
But not so in Pemiscot county.
Here, the old hate, malice and envy,
spite and grudge must be kept alive,
and for the past thirteen years matters
have grown worse.
We would like to see the end.
Just now, when the people were be-
ginng to think that the long and bit
ter wrangle over the local option cleo
tion was over, it seems that it must be

TO RECLAIM SWAMP LANDS.

The present session of congress will
he urged to appropriate sum ample
to pay the expenses of complete sur
vey of the swamp and overlooked lands
of the Mississippi valley, under the
direction of the Department of Agri-
culture.
A bill was introduced in the house
on Dec, II, 1910 by representative
Robinson of Arkansas in which he
asks that $500, ,00O be allowed for this
work. 1t is provided in the measure
that the survey be made with the view
to learning just what portion of the
lands is susceptible of reclamation
and that plans will be devised for the
drainage.
1t is claimed that the government
alone has 1000, 600 acres of land be-
tween Cape Girardeau, Mo-, and gulf
