A LAUDABLE ENTERPRISE

The Times-Herald Is q money
making institution, very true; il
it wasn't the proprietor wouldn't
be in the business long. But
dear readers, did you ever STOP
to consider that almost every
dollar of the earnings of the busi-
ness goes back into the institu-
ton, right in our stock of trade,
such as buildings, new machin-
cry, new type, new equipment
of every description. The small
surplus does not go into the cof-
fers of someone for personal gain;
it goes first for the improvement
of the paper, which inures to
your benefit also, and for the up
building of this town and county.
The Times-Herald has labored
indefatigable for the best inter-
ests of Burns and Harvey County
and the results of its labors have
been very noticeable. In the
space of time Burns has grown
from a very small western prairie
hamlet to a very creditable sized
city with over thousand popu-
lation and blessed with several
blocks of flourishing substantial
business houses, managed by a
coterie of business men who are
the salt of the earth, generous,
public spirited and possessed of
marked business ability on par
with some of the most metropoli-
tan cities in the state. All of
this has been accomplished by
consistent boosting, by not only
The Times-Herald but by good
live energetic foreseeing citizens
and without the aid Of railroads.
The management of The Times
Herald is pleased to admit that
it has been a success from al
financial standpoint and why
not, we have labored necessarily
and under adverse circumstances.
Personally, we have but our plant
to show for it, but it is an insti-
tuition of which Burns may feel
proud. and will compare fayora-
bly, with those of railroad towns
five times the size.
However these strides have
not been accomplished without
appreciation by our patrons, as is |
evidenced by the fact that The |
Times-Herald has a large list Of
loyal subscribers and a volume Of
advertisements.
The Times-Herald has certain
ly endeavored to do its share to-
ward the successful development
Of Burns and Harvey County and
we are proud of our efforts. We
trust our friends and
readers feel likewise.

The Mayor of London dates from the
twelfth century and he first held Of

successful example of Rouen fired the
Londoners to propose such an arrange

gave assistance in his intrigucs fol
the throne. The name Mayor in an
English significance Of Major, was
taken from the French Marie.
The first two centuries remain
misty. However, John Carpenter
town clerk, wrote his copious book in
1419, giving a fun account of the cor
poration. Observe what privileges the
London Mayor fought up to. He was
Il century and a half getting the title
Of lord with all its meaning. Most
readers will be surprised with what
he has gained.
Within the city proper the Lord
Mayor ranks next to King lie is
even technically before the Queer,
Consort, not to speak OF such dign-
taries as the Premier (who has nc
heraldic rank) the Lord Chancellor and
the Archbishop Of Canterbury.
The Lord Mayor takes prcce lcnce

of the Criminal Court. Neither OF
them enters upon details there. but
you will reflect on what the outrank

battled for.

possessed Il country which ut the
present time was singing with sue
cess, and abounded with prosperity.
The Australians would not bo where
they were today If they were still in
the position of iceland merely a
Crown colony. Here was Ireland, al
most at the very hub OF the universe,
a country blessed with fertile land,
and with wonderful natural resources,
and a people by no means wanting
in intelligence or enterprise, as the
Australians themselves could testify,
and therefore the question that was
asked by every fair-minded Austral-
ian democrat was why not metc out
the same treatment to Ireland as has
been enlinently successful in the re-
naming twenty-cight portions of the
British Empre?" That was the ques-
ton put to the delegates everywhere
they travelled, especially by the Young
Australians, who gould not UNDER
stand why Irishrnen should not be
treated as they We're themselves
(hear, hear)-why >hcy should not be
treated as civilized nation, why
they should not have placed upon
their shoulders the onus and RESPONSE
billty which had done so much in the

They said to themselves that not only
would Home Rule FOR ireland not do
anything to dismen,bcr or disintegrate G
the Empire, but on the other hand 1t
would be a sure means Of welding to-
gether the great many self governing
communities into Il common bond of
sympathy and interest (cheers).
But, apart from this, tho Austrnl-
ians held that the wishes Of five
/ siAths Of the Irish people should not
be denied OH any grounds (hear, hear).
He was glad to be able to bring them
that hopeful and inspiring message
that democratic Australia joined with
the Irish people, nid was giving Il
generous hand In her final struggle
for national redemption (cheers). An
other question arose, and that was,
how long would they lin Australia.
