OUR $4,000 CITY Hall.

Judge Walker of kennett is
holding court at Caruthereville
this week, and one of the import
ant cases to be tried is the eject
ment suit of some Charlottesville
parties against the city of Hayti,
to eject the city from the use of
the city hall. Lawyers Brewer
Il Mayes are looking after the
city's interests, and seem to
think that they have a good case
and will win. The case is set for
Wednesday, and as we go to
press on that day we cannot give
the result. About 40 witnesses
have been subpoenead, and some
lively testimony may be heard,
as the conditions are such that
the citizens of Hayti keenly feel
/ the miStreatmcnt that has been
accorded them. THERE'S no ques.
tion but what DR.. G.. NJ. Hayes,
in plating this town and selling
the lots, did so with the full in
tention that this square should
forever remain open and public.
No one will deny this not even
his heirs who petitioned the
county court to give the square
back to them, because, as they
said, the county seat had been
removed to Caruthersville, and
the county did not need the
square for courthouse purposes.
That was a poor excuse, because
] the law of the state provides that

Our city should not be permit

Our city should not be permit
ted to become IL comfortable
place for undesirable citizens,
who arecontinually causing some
kind of trouble, and when a
charge is obtained against them
for some Offense, the charge
should be permitted to stand. In
this way, when they run away or
jump their bond, they will have
to stay away. Time has proven
that all such people usually re
turn as soon as the cases against
them are disposed Of, and it is
has also proven that they are
soon again in trouble, causing
annoyances, disturbances, etc.

tits predicted that this will be
one Of the hardest years on farm
erS that we have had in a long
time, and farmers are preparing
for it. The merchants are also
pretty hard hit, and are begin
ming now to put into effect a more
conservative business policy.
During good times, when the
price of cotton was soaring and
everything plentiful, credit be-
came easy and farmers bought
freely. That has proven the most
serious mistake for both mer-
chant and farmer, as many
farmers owe more than they can
pay and the merchants have out
more accounts than they can
carry. This condition is general
all over the country.

The tendency of the times for
many years past seems to have
been for the employee to incur a
fancied dislike for the employer,
and the Mcnamara case proves
this very clearly. The employer
is deserving of much credit for
his industry and good manage
ment to place himself in position
to furnish labor to the unemplOy
ed that they might earn a living
and support themselves and fam
lies. For the employer to be
successful and continue to fur
nish employment for the unem-
ployed, the employee owes it to
himself to work as hard as he
can for the best interest of the
man who furnishes him the
means Of existing.

The high cost of living might
be greatly ameliorated if the
people would get back to the old
way of living. Most of us have
departed from the old way.
Things have progressed so rapid
ly and we have kept up with them
so presistently, that we have lost
sight of the fact that we could
get along just as we'll on at least
half of what we spend. We have
too many luxuries and extras,
too many conveniencieS and too
many things we would be just as
well or better off without.
Instead of trying to save, be
economical and live on just what
is necessary for u" to have, We
are like the little boys when the
show parade starts down the
street. We see the great pro
ceSsion of humanity indulging in
the new things of life and we
follow in the wake. Another
! serious obstacle in the way OF
economy is that we work less
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1912-01-11

have shorter hours, get greater
pay, thus making production
higher, which we in turn have to
pay for out of our fewer hours
of labor and misspent time. A
revolution should come for the
old way of living. If a man would
economic now and live like he
did twenty five or thirty years
ago, he could become wealthy in
a few years. But the habit of
easy and extravagant living once
formed, like every other habit, is
hard to throw off, unless we see
others doing the same thing.

YOUR UNCLE CORNELIUS.


The Hon. Cornelius Roach,
secretary of state-of the Gran d
Old State of Missouri. who is now
domiciled at Jefferson City, with
himself and family to support at
the expense of the public, and
whose numbers are increasing
at the rate of three in four years,
must evidently again be depend
ing upon silly and sickly senti-
mental public emotions to re.
elect him to that Office. TO which
his candidacy is already an.
nounccd. In his first cleo
tion the Honorable Cornelius
| paraded the picture of his nine
kids before the public as nine
reasons" why he should be ell
ected, and now since his number
of offspring has increased to -,
he is again parading their pic
lures before the public for the
purpose of arousing silly and
S'ckly Scntimcnt-but as usual,
he neglcctS the Hayti Herald.
just why Mr.. Roach should have
Il grievance against the Hayti
| Herald we do not know. but one
thing we do know, and that is he
j. a very unfair and ungratefu
politician. We DO not know jus
what his troubles were with Col
Chas n. Walker of Portagevillc.
but doubtless the coming pri-
mary will tell. Our grievance
against Mr.. Roach dates back
several months ago, when we re-
ceived letter from him that was
an open insult, and now he has
ADDED injury to insult by placing
the politics of this paper as In
dependent" in the Official Manu-
al of the State, or Blue Book, "
lust issued from his Office. Per
haps he is unmindful of the good
democratic vote usually cast at
Hayti and that Hayti holds the
balance Of power in the county.
At any rate, there are liable to
be other candidates against Mr.
Roach before the primary.
NOTE: Since setting the above in
type. we have received ii letter from
! Mr.. Roach, in part as follows:
"Tne proof Of list of papers of
your county was submitted for
correction to MIR. Lacey of the
Democrat, Caruthersville, whom
have known for many years. He
is man for whose integrity !

| high in that part of the state.
Although the Herald has been
sent to him threeyears, he winds
up by stating that he did not read
it, did not even look at it nor
know its size-all he knew in
Pemiscot county was the one
newspaper He does not even re-
member the letters he has re
ceived from this office, telling
him of the politics of this paper,

The space of a newspaper is its
stock in trade, and every inch of
that space costs just so much to
produce and is worth just so
much money. The publisher has
to live-he has expenses to meet,
and the only way he has to live
and pay his expenses is what he
gets from his newspaper and it's
space. A great many people re.
gard this lightly, and seem to
think that the newpaper can use
its space without receiving pay
for it, when the fact is, the type
setting on any ordinary country
newspaper will cost from ten to
twenty dollars a week. How is
the publisher to produce his
paper. then. unless all space not
used Tor actual news is paid for?
AT best, the newspaper is poorly
paid, and the price for what he
does should be advanced to keep
pace with the advancement of
everything else, when the fact is,
we are doing our work now at
about the same price it was
twenty years ago.

TIES TAKE SKILL

WASHINGTON, June 26-When it
payne bottles there is cal flor a
mighty fine degree of skill, accord
ing to a report ON how the thing is
done in France, made by United States
Consul w. Bardel, stationed at Rheims
Chief among the industries auXil-
iary to the making of champagne
wine" he says, lis the manufacture
of champagne bottle, whose produc-
ton is fraught with many difficulties.
The champagne bottle has to be con-
structed in all its parts of an al
most mathematically evel and heavy
thickness Its glass must be perfect
ly smooth and unaffected by the acids
contained in the wine; it's neck must
be exact in every particular, to in
sure perfect corking, and with no
grain or projecting points on the in
side. So much progress has been made
within the last 10 or Is years that,
where formerly a breakage OF five per
cent was considered very small, at
the present time the average break
age does not exceed one per cent.
Despite the perfection as to strength
reached in the production of cham
payne bottle, the strain upon them
caused by pressure they sustain and
the repeated handling they undergo
weakens them to such an extent that
it is considered unsafe to dse the bot
ties a second time; and, with the eX-
ception Of smaller houses making
the cheaper brands, champagne man
place their wine in none
but entirely new bottles.
Another important industry in this
consular district entirely dependent
on the wine trade, is the manufacture
of corks for champagne bottles. There
are about 20 cork manufacturers in
this district turning out annually i00,-
900 corks, of value Of over $l,:i51,

Tammany Offers Platform.

BALTIMORE, June 26.-Following
a caucus of the New York delegation
the platform sanctioned by Charles r.
Murphy of Tammany Hall, was order
ed sent to the resolutions committee
of the national convention, and the re-
quest was made that the national plat
form conform as closely as possible
to the New York declaration. -
The New York draft declares for
tariff reform, denounces Taft for We
toing the democratic tariff bill, de-
clares for the right of states to han
ole local problems, and pledges the
rigid enforcement of the antitrust
law. 1t denounces the central bank
systems and endorses the income tax
and the popular election of United
States senators. A six-term year for
the president with prohibition
against reelection is demanded.
